Gran Den Lakefront Home Near Acadia
Our recent stay at Gran Den was fantastic! Brady was super helpful, and communication was quick and clear. The cabin had all the amenities we could ask for and more. It's rustic and full of character yet incredibly comfortable and clean. The spacious layout made it very user-friendly. (The pictures are great but it’s eve better in-person.) The location in Surry is ideal, with Bucksport to the west and Ellsworth to the east, making it a perfect spot to explore the area. Highly recommend this for your next trip.

Maine Wilderness Oasis: Hike Swim Kayak Fish
Chausey was a great host and was very responsive when I reached out. The place was well kept, very cozy, and matched the list of amenities listed on the AirBNB listing. It truly felt like a home away from home. I really enjoyed the location and how it was tucked away but within driving distance of downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Sunset Cove on Swan Lake - Stunning Lake Views!
Absolutely recommend, terrific spot, very calm and peaceful. Gena's house met our every need, everything was easy to access. The location was very near Belfast Maine, nice community with great restaurants and beautiful waterfront scenery. We'd rent again sometime for sure.

Cozy 3 BR cottage with modern amenities
This was our first time in Maine and Donna’s place was adorable! It’s a great location - you can see water and Fort Knox from the yard, and it’s super convenient to both Acadia and a ton of beautiful coastal towns!

Spacious Lake House /2 guest houses private!
Ohhhh my goodness. What a hidden slice of heaven! Yes…there is a 5 mile trek down a bumpy dirt road, but don’t let that deter you, once you pull in the driveway…you’ll understand it was well worth it. The main house and two tiny houses were completely stocked. There wasn’t anything that wasn’t there. Everything was cleaned and well maintained and in great working order. There was plenty of space for our three families to spread out. If you’re looking for a peaceful get away…this is it. We would definitely look into this place again!!!!!!

Stunning waterfront Lucerne views, private dock
Beautiful and cozy place. Had a great stay. Since we visited during Fall season, the place was peaceful and full of Fall colors. Acadia national park is nearby and has some great places to visit during leaf peeping time.

Sunny Waterfront Home Overlooking Blueberry Field
Gorgeous location and very functional home. We were there during winter and loved the frozen water and lovely surroundings. Took nice walks. Look forward to coming back in summer!

Lake Front-Kayaks-Dock-Fire Pit-Sand Beach-Acadia
The vacation home was so enjoyable, we left a first ever, entry in your "Guest Book." Located on the water, the home had an outdoor porch which was great for viewing the lake in the early morning hours and stargazing at night. Beautiful dock and beach area with kayaks, all the water toys were available. The interior of the home was well appointed and had everything we needed to make the stay an enjoyable one. Looking forward to returning someday!

Aldernest Loft -MDI -walk across the lawn to shore
The place was very beautiful. Its a perfect location for stay if you are planning to visit Acadia National Park. The place itself was very clean and well maintained. Kathleen was very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. They also have access to the shore at a 2 min walk which is a good spot to hangout during sunrise and sunset.

"The Overlook" Studio Apartment on Molasses Pond
I enjoyed a recent 2 night stay at Naomi’s place, and there was much to love about it! While it was definitely a hike to and from Bar Harbor, returning back to the privacy & peacefulness of this property in the evening made it absolutely worth while. Above all we greatly appreciated how clean the unit was upon arrival. The beautiful sunset views and access to kayaks to enjoy the pond were a major plus. The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for, and we’d definitely stay with Naomi again next time we visit the area!

Far From the Maddening Crowd
This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

Lakefront Log Cabin
We loved our week long stay! The cabin is awesome and location is perfect. We spent time at Bar Harbor and Acadia. The lake is beautiful and so peaceful. John and Maria were great.

Secluded Acadia Waterfront Stay on Historic Pier!
Had a great time. The house was clean and orderly. We had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, they were only 30-40 minutes away. We also enjoyed the very short walk to the water front to enjoy the views and the cool breeze off the water we even saw a lobster boat one evening! Definitely would recommend and stay here again!

2BR Apartment with Deck and Grill
The stay was great! Drove up from Ohio and after a very long day of driving, the place was relaxing and ready. The amenities were accurately described in the listing and reflected within. We enjoyed the unique aspects such as the frog decor and Orland decorations. Being in mid October, the heat inside was plenty to keep us warm. We had no issues whatsoever but it appeared that Vacasa was very responsive if any did arise. The highlight had to be the dock access to Heart Pond in the backyard. Caught many sunsets and sunrises there and it was beautiful. Great for stargazing too! Ellsworth is only a short drive for food/supplies. This was a great jumping off point to explore Acadia National Park!

Quiet apartment at Acadia National Park.
We wanted a relaxing and peaceful place to stay and Ferncrest was all of that! We enjoyed staying on the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island. Yet it was close enough to Bar Harbor and the activities it offered. Coming back to Ferncrest in the evening was like coming home!

Historic Penobscot Place- Apt Above Country Store
A delightful venue, above a general store, which sells pizza and sandwiches in evenings and breakfast sandwiches and coffee in morning. Only heads up, there wasn’t coffee nor sugar in kitchen, although kitchen well equipped with coffee maker, air fryer etc.

Lakefront Cottage on Tracy Pond, New Hampshire
Host was very friendly and informative but allowed us privacy as well. The cabin was charming, very clean and had more than what we needed for our stay. It was quiet and serene with beautiful views but close to shopping and dining establishments. We would highly recommend staying in this rental... it has it all!

Lakeside Cottage
Such a beautiful home next to the lake. Went when it is still cold but I imagine when weather is warm must be a great place to spend the day at…Joanne was very responsive when had questions. Home was very comfortable and clean! I would love to stay there again

Perfect getaway! Quintessential lakefront cottage!
This cabin was the highlight of our 10 day tour of New England! The view from the lake is breathtaking and it felt so private and peaceful. We were visiting friends who also live in Orrington and it was a convenient location to see them, as well as get to Orono for a Maine hockey game. We loved the updated primary bedroom, and appreciated the fully stocked kitchen. And of course the lake was the shining star. I would love to stay here again when we return!

My Blue Heaven
Debbie's place was lovely! Incredibly beautiful area, comfortable and cozy living room and good location. Both Bangor and Acadia aren't too far which is quite nice. The one downside is that the place is not within delivery distance for restaurants. But it's only a 20 minute drive to Ellsworth so it is easy to drive to restaurants! Would definitely stay there again.

Quiet lakefront cottage on Graham Lake
This location is absolutely beautiful! The incredible views on this private lot are enough to make it worth it. The cottage has a modern touch, with a rustic outdoor feel. Perfect for a little family getaway. It truly is right on the lake, and has plenty to do in the surrounding towns for food and shopping. Deb is a very communicative host. Highly recommend booking with her and her family on their quaint farm!

Quiet Lakeside Cottage
Our family had a lovely stay at the Lupine Cottage. Such a peaceful spot. We enjoyed getting out on the water in the kayaks and sitting out in the Adirondack chairs listening to the loons and barred owls call. Nice central location for exploring Acadia and the mid coast. Thanks Kim & Stacy for the precious memories!

Cozy cottage close to Acadia National Park!
Such an absolutely magical place to stay! My pup and I stayed for a month while I worked and played. Gorgeous views of the Beech Hill Pond and close enough to various towns for hiking, sightseeing and enjoying local food. Spent time on Deer Isle, MDI at Bar Harbour & Acadia, and even made the trek to Lubec. if you want to experience a wee bit of winter and early spring, mid to late March into April was the perfect time. We had a few inches of snow fall within the first few days of the trip. Don't hesitate to book this cottage!

Timberframe Cottage on Organic Farm
This was my second time staying at the farm, and I’d recommend it for anyone visiting the area. It’s a beautiful, private setting and an easy drive to Winter and Birch Harbors.
