Holiday rentals with lake access in York County

a beautiful cabin in the woods by the pond!! My family and I enjoyed our stay. Cabin is clean and welcoming...with everything you need except for food and clothing

Every year we pick a place on the lake between Mother's and Father's day to celebrate over a weekend. We love to kayak and visit the local eateries while relaxing in nature. This year we were fortunate enough to find Katherine's home in Acton, ME for Memorial Day weekend. The house was spacious, comfortable, clean, and homey (and right on the lake)! Katherine and Nick were both very responsive and friendly with check-in check-out and we loved the places listed on their travel guide. The house is a short hour drive from Kennebunkport and Portland so we took some day trips during the rainy days and floated around the peaceful inlet of Mousam Lake when sunny. Leaving the inlet takes you to the rest of Mousam Lake where we saw motor boats, jet skis and one person wake boarding! Our old dog, Shaggy, had a blast and the long road leading to the property gave him the ability to run around without bothering any neighbors, who were all very friendly! Definitely worth a return visit!

2025 marks our third year running staying at Elizabeth's lovely home in Maine for an annual fishing trip to Lake Arrowhead! I could not recommend staying here enough due to the privacy offered, comfortable sleeping arrangements available for several guests, homey living room for lounging, and excellent set-up for fishing, grilling, and building a campfire. Elizabeth's home is truly the perfect place to retreat for a relaxing and cozy getaway! It's clique to say but her house truly feels like home away from home for our group. Each of our stays has been incredible not only due to what the house offers but also due to Elizabeth's excellent communication leading up to our trips and during our stays. She is incredibly friendly and always highly responsive to texts and calls to answer any and all questions! We're already looking forward to next year!

This home was perfect for our family stay for a local wedding. It was a quiet relaxing place on the water! We enjoyed kayaking and sitting on the swing enjoying the view. The home included everything we needed and was very clean, spacious and comfortable. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking in this area!

My family was looking for a place this year to just get away, and Michael’s place was the perfect spot to do so. Close enough to the ocean and Portland, but far enough away to for some much needed R& R. Michael is an excellent host, and is very responsive to all messages. Thanks for everything!

Our stay at Mousam Lake was simply wonderful. The house is rustic and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed. I love that there are ice cube trays in the freezer. It’s a little touch that just makes life easier. We were 5 adults with 4 dogs and everyone had enough room. Sitting on the deck felt like being in a treehouse and bringing the Adirondack chairs down to the dock was a pleasure on warmer days. A short drive to Hannaford allowed us to stock up and enjoy family meals and game nights in the cozy living room. Lea responded quickly to any question we had. This was a wonderful, relaxing vacation at the lake.

If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing stay surrounded by beautiful scenery, this is the place for you! The house itself is beautiful and set up well, with multiple common areas and private bedrooms. The host, Noah, was very responsive and helpful, and the check out instructions were simple and easy to follow. On my visit we had 3 couples in the house and had plenty of room. I highly recommend staying here!

Delightful Fall getaway. Open house design with gorgeous view of lake. Nice big yard with seating and fire-pit. VERY comfortable beds, and bathroom with 2 sinks! Kitchen had everything we needed - plus fruit and candy! Even the laundry room was beautiful! James was most thoughtful and responsive as our host. Recommend highly!

This place had everything I needed for a perfect stay. The bed was cozy, and every detail was so thoughtfully arranged—it felt like everything was exactly where I needed it. The hosts were incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure I was comfortable. Plus, the location is fantastic, offering easy access to both Portland and New Hampshire. I had a wonderful stay and would love to return!

Charming older home in a beautiful, friendly and quiet neighborhood with gorgeous views. Plenty of space, the loft area was a big hit for the kids. Both the upper deck and grassy area in front of the dock provided perfect outdoor dining. Spacious master bedroom and bathrooms. Open concept living area with plenty of seating. The kayaks and canoe were an added bonus. Great swimming and fishing right from the dock. Lots of amenities provided a stress free stay. Neighbors are very friendly. Host was very responsive. I would definitely recommend this place!

Before booking, I had a few questions that Dennis answered immediately. He was a very friendly attentive host & a pleasure to communicate with. The house was neat & clean and so much to keep everyone occupied inside & out. Everyone loved the arcade games & the pool table on the inside. The outside was like a piece of heaven. Nice large backyard leading down to a sandy beach with a dock, a fire pit & a peaceful setting. There were kayaks to explore the lake in, which everyone enjoyed. The only negative comment is it’s hard to leave…lol. Thank you Dennis for your great hospitality. We will be renting again!!!

Thank you Valerie for a great stay. Made us feel right at home and was very communicative with helpful direction. Visited friends in the area, and Valerie's place was a perfect peaceful location to be close to our friends as well as amenities. Lovely town.

Perfect place! Jan and Rick were very kind. Great mini vacation. Will definitely be back

Was a great place, not often that you get host that personally greet you on check and give you gifts and make homemade stuff for you. Best hosts yet.

My airbnb stay at Keri-Ann’s was wonderful from start to finish. Communication prior and during the stay were great! The unit was super cute and decorated really tastefully, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Unit was exceptionally clean and well taken care of. Keri-Ann went out of her way to make sure I had an easy and lovey check in, even going out of her way to provide gluten free snacks and fruit, and provided great info about the concert venue I was attending during my stay. She and Blaine were fun to talk to in the evening around the fire. Everything about this rental experience was top notch! Great rental experience!

My 2nd time staying and will definitely book again and again. Very spacious historical charming property with every amenity you’ll need. Easy check in and out with keypad. Exactly as described, very clean, plenty of off street parking, short walk to grocery store and convenience store just across the street. Only a half hour or so drive to Mike’s Clam Shack where their giant lobster roll is one of the best!

Great cottage right on the lake! Kayaks were great to take out and explore the lake and see wildlife as well. The cottage is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is large and well appointed for any cooking you may want to do. Grill and plenty of beach chair/ towels available as well. Adam is extremely responsive and I highly recommend. The place is quite peaceful though the lake gets pretty busy on the weekends with boats but not in an obnoxious way. Loved sipping coffee and reading on the dock each morning. Will definitely book again!

Heidi’s place was very warm and welcoming. She is quick to respond with my questions. The cabin was clean and fully stocked. Would stay there again when visiting Maine

A great spot tucked away!! House was cute and as shown in the pictures, is right on the water and has some great views! It rained the majority of the time we were there so didn’t get to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities, but would have if better weather! Host was very friendly, communicative and responsive!

This Airbnb is an absolute hidden gem! It is a peaceful spot surrounded by nature in an convenient location. Inside, it's cozy and feels just like home. It’s very clean, the bed is extremely comfortable, and it’s very quiet. The spacious outdoor area is a dream, offering so many spots to sit with loved ones right by the water, from the fire pit to the dock and deck. The photos don't even begin to capture its beauty. We made lifelong memories in the backyard. The surrounding towns are packed with natural beauty and history, there is so much to do and so many lobster rolls to be eaten (I probably gained a few pounds exploring all the delicious food in Portsmouth). Andrew was an incredibly responsive and helpful host, full of good recs and making the whole experience seamless. The check out process was especially easy compared to some of my recent Airbnb’s, it was really nice being able to check out of an without having to do a laundry list of chores first 😅

Dianne’s place was just right for my small family of three! The place was clean and well kept and had all the amenities one could need and even more than we expected. There was some construction going on at the house next door, which was a bit disappointing, but just a reminder that the house is in a community and not to expect complete silence at all times. Dianne was very responsive and kind, and all in all we had a very lovely time.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Debbie’s cabin. The interior is tidy, simply furnished and decorated with Debbie’s nice paintings. The heater worked well, but it was a little noisy. Luckily we didn’t need it through the night, so we were able to enjoy the peace and calm of the quiet lakeside location. Nothing like waking up to the view of that pristine lake. Some mornings it was so still it reflected the trees. We loved that. Water pressure was a little touch and go, but overall not a problem.

We came here to visit the southern part of Maine. Clearly this location is one of the best airbnb we’ve been at. House is lovely and is even better in reality than on the pictures. Everything was super clean and tidy with all you would ever need for your stay. We came here with our 3 kids and they had a lovely time thanks to all the toys, books and board games at disposal. Place is quiet and very nice during fall season so great for a peaceful time away from the city. Didn’t get the chance the practice the canoe by lack of time but it was very tempting. We will be definitely be back!

We loved our stay at the cottage and were pleasantly surprised by all the equipment and toys in the bunk house. The lake was quiet enough for the kids to kayak. The location was easy distance to Portland and great restaurants closer by. We would definitely stay again!
