We had a very nice stay in one of Alan's cottages. He is a kind and thorough post and provided everything we needed for our stay.

The cabin was very clean and in a great location. Alan was helpful with navigating the area. I would stay again.

Beautiful Place ! Beautiful town nearby

We had a wonderful stay at Alan's cottage. He was welcoming upon our arrival and throughout our time there. He had great suggestions for where to grab a bite to eat and places to explore in the surrounding area (including a gem we would have never found without his suggestion, the beautiful town of Stonington on Deer Isle). Acadia was a quick and easy drive from the cabin. The cabin had plenty of amenities which made our stay very comfortable. Alan was a great host and you can tell he takes pride in this cottage and preserving the musical tradition and history on the farm. We would love to come back someday!

The farm Alan's place is on is spectacular- beautiful and with loads of history. I enjoyed my writing retreat- perfect spot for it!

I stayed in Allen's place with my mom. We had a great time in Surry. Allen is a great host. He introduced his farm to us and provided really helpful advice. Allen is a music therapist. Therefore he is a good listener and talker. My mom and I had two meals with Allen and his friend. I love everything here. I wish to come back again.

Alan was super nice and helpful - gave us lots of recommendations for nearby places to eat, how to get around etc.

Alan's place is the perfect base for exploring Acadia and the surrounding area. It's clean, cozy, and comfortable. Our only regret is not having enough time to learn more about Alan and the property. He gave us great recommendations for dinner and sight seeing. Highly recommend!

Margaret's cottage was clean, comfortable and convenient to everything. We really enjoyed our time there, and will likely be back!

A perfect night! Beautiful, cozy space with all the amenities you might need for a few nights in Camden. Comfy bed, great water pressure in shower, adorable space, thoughtfully done. Can't wait to come back. Perfect for a single traveler or a romantic getaway! Great communication, A+++

We had a great stay in Camden. We found this small cottage very intriguing. It is amazing how such a well crafted small space can meet all your basic needs.

Great place! Check in and communication with Margaret was very easy. Her cottage is in a great central location to explore the entire area, and it is one mile from downtown Camden. The cottage was completely as described. It was clean, cute and very functional (for 2 people. I'd say more than 2 people is too tight a squeeze). The only thing to note is that on the shower, the "cold" knob is actually the hot water! Took me a second to figure it out. If you want to cook rather than eat out, the kitchen is fully equipped. The enclosed front porch is adorable and a great place to relax. It was cool when we were there, so not an issue, but to note there was not AC, so good to note if you are staying in the height of summer. It was perfect for us though. I would highly recommend Margaret's cottage for your Maine getaway!

Margaret was very helpful getting the reservation made, and the space was excellent for my weeklong stay on Camden. Great host, beautiful cottage, and quiet location made for an awesome trip!

The two of us had a great stay at the cottage. It was very clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. The location is quiet and close enough to walk to downtown. It's a great central location for hiking, going to the ocean, or visiting other coastal towns. There were plenty of linens and towels and the kitchen was well-equipped. We were there in March and it was warm and cozy. During the summer you could enjoy the nice porch. We briefly met the owner who was friendly and available if needed. This place is run very well and comes highly recommended.

The house was lovely, comfortable, clean, and so cute! My partner and I easily walked to dinner in town. Check in and out were a breeze and Margaret was responsive and gave us good recommendations. Not only would we stay here again, but we wished we had stayed longer. Can't say enough good things!

What a lovely cabin! Great location just a few blocks from downtown, and a perfect size for two people. Margaret was very responsive to questions beforehand and made sure we knew how to get ahold of her during our stay if needed. I'd definitely stay here if I'm in the area again in the future, and highly recommend it to others.

Our experience in Anna's cabin was absolutely unforgettable. The cabin itself is small and cozy, and stays nice and warm when there is a fire built in the wood stove. There are lots of interesting, useful, and decorative items throughout that make it interesting to explore. There is also a gas stove, small refrigerator, and running water in the warmer months which comes from a local spring. The environment around the cabin is breathtakingly beautiful. The cabin is situated on the bank of a beautiful pond, and the surrounding marshes, hills and forests are all fun to explore. Anna goes above and beyond as a host. She guided us on a hike up Bean Hill, offered us delicious baked goods, and even served as a photographer to capture the moment when my girlfriend proposed to me. Even without the proposal, this trip would have been one of my favorites in recent memory. I cannot recommend it highly enough to any adventurers willing to stay in this rustic and beautiful place.

A.MAZ.ING!! I wish I had booked my entire vacation here. This place was heaven and Anna and her family made us feel so welcomed. It was really a special experience. We had some great hikes in the area; went white water rafting; picked blackberries down the lane way; showered outdoors (liberating!); star-gazed; met sheep, pigs and cats; swam in the lake; and my husband even braved the zip wire! A very memorable experience.

We had a great stay in the cabin. The property is gorgeous and the overlook is amazing. We hiked up for sunrise and it was the highlight of our stay. Thank you!

I'm not even sure where to begin about the wonderful fall weekend I had at Jim and Anna's cabin! The setting of their property is so secluded, serene, and beautiful (especially with the peak fall foliage reflecting off the lake). If you're looking for a place to simply relax,enjoy nature, and get away from hectic city life, this is the spot. On my first night there I was just walking back to the cabin when I saw a moose crossing the lake, and I later saw the resident beavers, as well as tons of birds. The cabin is located right on the lake, so between that and all the large picture windows inside, you definitely get the feeling that your surrounded by nature. I'd highly recommend you wake up early to see the sunrise over the mountains. The cabin itself was the perfect balance of rustic and cozy. The full kitchen had everything you need to cook all of your meals, including provided basics like coffee, creamer, spices, oil, etc. The only thing to note is that the woodstove is the only source of heat, which keeps it very cozy when burning, but mid-October it was already getting very chilly inside at night without fueling the fire through the night hours, so be prepared to bring lots of wood and your campfire skills. Anna's directions for arrival were very clear, and while I didn't get to meet her upon checking in, she did call to ensure everything was going okay! I did quickly meet Jim before checking out, and it was great chatting with him! Although Fall is such an amazing time to visit, I can't wait to come again in the summer to try out the zip lines, diving board and rope swing.

WOW! Let me say, this was our first time booking through AirBnB and Anna has set the bar pretty high! In some ways, literally - Anna's father is a civil engineer who builds ziplines for fun - one of which is nearly a mile long! We didn't know about the long zipline before our visit, and were very eager to try it out. It was amazing! How can I describe this experience in so few words? This is the most idyllic place I've ever stayed in. It's the kind of place you can search for for years and never find. Anna and her family live nearby, but they definitely give you the space and privacy you want. By our first day we were already planning our return trip. I'm not a morning person at all, but staying at Anna's cabin for a few days I was inclined every morning to get up at 5 and go canoeing, go out for a hike, or just have a cup of coffee on the dock and watch the beavers go out for their morning swim on the pond. As a kid, my family traveled to Maine a few times, mostly to the coast, and mostly camping. It was fun as a kid, but it was way too densely packed and touristy. This cabin offers what I really want out of a Maine vacation: no crowded beaches, no gross campground showers, no tacky lobster post cards, just a quiet pond, a refreshing private outdoor shower, and a little spot in the middle of the woods we were so lucky to call home for a short time. Over five short days I can't count the number of times we really considered moving to this corner of Maine.

Anna and her family's cabin provided the perfect getaway for me and my husband. The cabin was homey and tidy, the pond and property BEAUTIFUL, and Anna was very warm and friendly. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a vacation away in the remote woods of Maine. We are already talking about returning next year!

Truly an unbelievable experience, place to stay, and host. Best AirBnB ever! We arrived in the middle of a pretty serious snowstorm, but Anna and I had spoken earlier on the phone and we had discussed the importance of a 4wd vehicle to get up her roads in a (URL HIDDEN) my wife and I made it up without any issue in my Subaru Outback. Even just their "driveway" is truly beautiful, as it meanders along a mountain stream. The cabin was covered in a fresh 8" of snow and Anna had the fire built in the wood stove for us, all we needed to do was start the fire. What an amazingly thoughtful host. The cabin was picturesque, rustic in all the right ways, and just perfect for a few days of R&R. We kept the wood stove going the entire time we were home, and although it got down to 9 degrees one night, we were totally cozy the whole time. The view across the lake and up the mountain never ceased to be exciting....and I say this as someone who lives in a beautiful spot in Maine just 1.5 hours away from here. Anna was beyond friendly and welcoming, and drew us a map for great trails nearby. We climbed to the top of one of the mountains on a ribbon trail, and the views from the top were fantastic...staring right at Sunday River. One night we just walked down a couple of miles of their driveway/private roads, and even that was a great little walk/hike. Everything hear just oozed character, fun, and life. Gardens, sheep, goats, chickens, ziplines (yes, ziplines), an outhouse that you had to cross 2 bridges to get to, and all sorts of other great things. You really get the feeling that a whole lot of fun and laughter has occurred on this land. Lastly, Anna is also an immensely talented pasty chef, so upon our request, she baked a pie for us for Thanksgiving dinner, which we cooked in the oven in the cabin. It was probably the best pie I've ever eaten. She also does a lot of organic farming and local-sourcing of delicious foods, so she also had us pretty well stocked when we arrived, and I just let her know what kinds of things we'd want in advance. Seriously...what more could you want from a host? Not much else to say. Anna is the best. This cabin is the best. We WILL be back. Thanks Anna!

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for, a small cabin overlooking a pond and the mountains. The cabin was very clean and Anna left us some great coffee and even brought us fresh eggs from the chickens!! We brought our 1 year old daughter and she also loved running around exploring the trails. The cabin was perfection and so was the host!

We didn't get to stay here unfortunately because of a family emergency but the cottage was exactly what was shown and communication with Roddy was exceptional. If you ever get a chance to visit this area we would recommend it. Roddy is very communicative and a very good host.

We stayed at Roddy's cabin from September 19 through the 24th for our honeymoon. The cabin was adorable and in a great location. We spent a day at Schoodic Point, and we were about 45 minutes from Acadia national Park. Roddy let us use her kayaks to go on the bay, and we did that almost every afternoon. She gave great recommendations for food and things to do! She was so hospitable, offering to let us use anything from her house that we needed and letting us pet her adorable dog! Overall, a restful and entertaining experience! Definitely recommend!

Very well maintained house, next to a beautiful lake. The pictures in listing explains it all.

Staying at the cottage was a highlight of our trip to Maine. My friends had no idea what to expect, but when Roddy first met us on our late arrival to Sullivan we couldn't have been more pleased. Roddy and her family were understanding (even in the midst of needing olive oil for a fajita celebration meal and locking ourselves out of the cottage!). She made us unbelievably comfortable and welcomed. The cottage was adorable and fully stocked with linens and cooking items. We were able to venture to Bar Harbor multiple times, explore Acadia and enjoy Roddy's beautiful property on Frenchman Bay. Traveling to Maine and going to Acadia has been a long time dream for me and I can't express how amazing the cottage fit into our long weekend. I couldn't recommend this booking any higher!

Our stay at this house was just wonderful! The house was perfect, clean, complete, the area was beautiful and Roddy was a fantastic host. Made us feel very welcome, we could use all we need, gave recommendations. We have enjoyed every minute of our stay. Highly recommend this place is you plan to stay in Sullivan area.

We loved this place! It was so charming. We arrived to homemade blueberry cake and fresh flowers and we made ourselves a pot of coffee. Our kids played on the shore and island. We wish we had more time!

Roddy was very warm and welcoming. She gave us detailed directions to the place and even recommendations to see and visit around the area. The cottage was very clean and cozy. Very close to the beautiful bay right behind the main house. Absolutely breathtaking! Highly recommend!

We had the best experience at this very charming cottage. It was well appointed, immaculate, and had everything we needed including a lobster pot! The hosts are extremely kind and gave us lots of fun suggestions for our winter adventures; the surrounding area is beautiful and it would be hard to not enjoy yourself.

Nicole is a fantastic host, and the studio is a perfect spot to enjoy Maine's southern coast. She provided bikes for beach access as well as beach chairs, towers, and a blanket! The ride is only 5 minutes or so by bike to Ferry beach which is gorgeous! The studio itself is far better than any hotel, quite, comfy, and perfect for relaxing. We can't wait to come back again. Thank you!

This was actually my second time to stay at Saco Studio - I loved it so much the first time, I returned! Nicole greeted me when I arrived, made sure the heat (and the heated bathroom floor!) were already on, and made sure I had everything I needed. There were also a few drinks and snacks in the studio. The wifi worked great, and she also had gotten cable for the room. I've stayed in several places with Air BnB, and the Saco Studio is my all time favorite!

This is such a delightful apt! Nicole left us snacks and drinks in the fridge, impeccable instructions and dvds to enjoy! Amazing location with regards to the beach - beach bikes on hand! Perfect for a weekend getaway and beautifully furnished and decorated. Also the mattress was very comfortable.

This studio apartment is fantastic! Very spacious. Beautiful woodwork, bamboo floors, heated tiles in bathroom, fantastic shower. There were so many extra touches provided by host. Excellent communication. Great neighborhood. I can't say enough positive comments about this space!

The host was very friendly and accommodating. Nicole and her husband are the nicest people ever, they let us borrow their bikes to Ferry beach. The place is very neat and cozy, and super clean! We absolutely loved it!

Super cozy! The studio is amazingly clean and comfortable. Heated floors in the bathroom, comfortable bed, and an awesome little kitchenette made this place the perfect getaway! The decor was cute too! Loved the little quilted details around the place, made everything super homey.

Easy to access and in a peaceful location. A short drive to the beach to experience a sunrise. The furnishings were up to date and modern with a nice home style touch of various quilted items. The heated bathroom floor was a major bonus!! Great place to stay in the Southern Maine area!

The studio was lovely and very cozy. The decor made it very cozy and warm. Nicole was flexible and offered me a late check-out which I wished I could have enjoyed. There were also bicycles offered for my use which unfortunately time did not permit. Will definitely recommend to friends and also return.

Everything was very well organized and the room was really nice. We really enjoyed having recommandations of restaurants and bars in the area, we tried 3 of them! Our stay was short but we would gladly be back.

Beautiful home. Perfect location: quick walk to great food, a few blocks from Top of the East, and close enough to the Old Port district without the busyness of it. Very helpful when needed, and their process for rentals is very streamlined and seamless. Couldn't be happier with my first weekend using Airbnb.

I only met Robert during my one-night stay and he was SUPER friendly. I felt extremely comfortable and at home here. It's basically a hotel room which is amazing.

Truly a beautiful, charming place! Both Robert and Barbara were so nice and welcoming. This place is in an ideal location, I was able to walk anywhere in old port from here. The room itself is beautiful, the bed super comfortable, tea and coffee provided. Overall, a delightful place and I'd highly recommend it. Thank you Robert, Barbara and family!

The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Brilliant start to an awesome trip. Room was clean, well stocked and a great location. Check out the breakfast place around the block; Hotsuppa! Robert was very helpful despite us arriving late.

Great location- walking distance to Old Port, waterfront, and many restaurants. Bob also gave us great maps and tips on where to go. The room is stocked with a fridge, toaster, microwave, and other handy things. They offered parking and access in and out of the house was incredibly easy. They have great systems in place--clearly built from careful thought and experience. It was a great stay, and I'd definitely recommend it!

This brownstone really is in a great location! We loved using this spot as a jumping off point for our Portland adventures. The room and shared bathroom were clean and cozy. It would be fun to rent both bedrooms with another couple. Already looking forward to our next visit to Portland!

Right on the lake, quiet and very comfortable! Trudy is a great host, she really cares that you enjoy your stay. We look forward to going back.

Trudy made us feel comfortable and welcome! Her cabin on Tripp pond made my sister bachelorette night a night to remember!

Trudy was an absolute delight to work with! We stayed for the weekend of a family wedding. Knowing that we wouldnt arrive until late, Trudy went above and beyond to make our stay truly memorable. She even set up the porch with chairs and built two fires so we wouldnt have to when we got back!!! The cabin is a little slice of paradise, the view of the pond is gorgeous and having all the amenities you would ever need for a stay makes this the perfect getaway!

This little gem is an amazing place to stay! The only thing I wish we had done differently is stay longer! Secluded and quiet in a beautiful lake in Maine, this is the perfect get away for a close group of friends or couple. Unfortunately we only had one full day on the lake, but everything you need is right there at the house. A canoe, fire wood, fishing gear, blankets, a grill etc. When sitting on the deck you can see little chipmunks running around, and hearing the nature around you is incredibly relaxing. Each time you look out into the lake, you can't believe it's real: straight out of a postcard! I highly recommend staying here. We're already planning our next trip up. Thanks for everything, Trudy!

Cozy lakeside cabin. Trudy went out of her way to help us with directions both when arriving and departing. She is lovely!!! The kids and I all enjoyed the water sports and the beautiful view on the lake. Wonderful destination, very relaxing in the country setting. I would definitely come back if in Maine.

Trudy was a perfect host and very careful with us. The home is very lovely and contain everything you need. Thank you for your kind attention for each of us Trudy!

I recently rented Trudy's cabin in Poland with 4 other gals for a ladies weekend, and we had the BEST time! The cabin had everything we needed and way more, like canoes, a fire pit, a grill, lake front decks,and a kitchen stocked with enough cooking equipment to make this food-obsessed gal very happy! Trudy checked in when she was around to make sure we had everything we needed, but was respected our space, as well as our need to be a bit, um, rambunctious, on this ladies weekend. We plan on making this trip an annual event, and I could see visiting with my husband as well! A great get away spot!

This was exactly what we were looking for in a 2-night stay. This "bungalow" style home was right on the lake and had just the right amount of quirkiness for our family and our 8-year old twins. From the wood stove to the upstairs loft bedroom, multiple sleeping arrangements, games, unique kitchen and on-site lake supplies, this place was perfect. Trudy was a very gracious host and knows all about the region and other parts of Maine.

This cabin was the perfect location for our weekend in the white mountains. We enjoyed going into the town which was a quick drive away from the house. We would have loved to stay here in he winter as the cabin is perfectly set up for that with the wood stove. During the day it was very hot in the cabin as there was no A/C. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful cabin. We are on a long road trip and the few days in Bethel were just what we needed to recharge.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at Pamela's cabin enjoying time with our two grown sons and daughter-in-law. The space and location suited us perfectly, and we couldn't have hoped for more in terms of cleanliness, convenience, seclusion, and natural beauty. Staying here was a pleasure in every way. When we visit the area again, Pamela's cabin will be our first choice!

Pamela, thank you so much for having us in your beautiful cabin! Everything was so comfy and convenient. Really loved having so much space for our doggie, Parker, to run around and enjoy the woods while we relaxed on the porch. What a gorgeous view!

This is a lovely home and I would recommend it to anyone who is seeking a secluded getaway. My only issue were of dust and pet hair however that could be easily addressed. It really is a wonderful place for those seeking a quiet refuge from the busy city.

My family and I are from the Greater NY area and avid skiers who patrol at a local mountain. We were happy to find this gem situated in the woods with spectacular views of and proximity to the white mountains. Pam and her family provide all the comforts we expect in a suburban home and appreciate all the hard work they put into this getaway!

Asked if we'd made it on time and if we were happy with the place

The cabin was not hard to find up on the dirt road. The house was extremely warm inside, so we opened up a few windows for a cross breeze. Within an hour, it cooled off. There were plenty of options for sleeping, so we decided on the bedroom on the main level. The fans were much appreciated. We had some time familiarizing with light switches, ceiling fans and such and made ourselves at home. The cabin was roomy and nicely secluded, while we enjoyed strolling through the yard. The cabin became our home for a few days as we explored the region. We hiked the Rattle River section of the AT, drove Mt Washington, ate at the Rooster's Roadhouse in Bethel, and searched the back roads for moose daily, although we never did see one except for a fresh road kill up on 26 north of Bethel! We shopped North Conway and enjoyed the park forests.

My daughter and I loved our stay at Ken's! This beautifully redone space has character and the great attention to detail makes it a standout. The space is exactly as pictured, Is impeccably clean, and I look forward to staying here the next time I visit Portland

Ken was in touch with us as we were traveling and met us when we arrived. He was super welcoming and gave us the full tour efficiently and warmly. The space is absolutely gorgeous. They've really paid attention to quality in their construction materials and fixtures. The furniture is clean and comfortable. Everything was immaculate when we arrived. Sheets, towels, etc., all freshly laundered. Extremely professional. Not knowing much about the layout of Portland, we weren't too careful with our selection of location, and this apartment is not super close to downtown, where all the pubs and stuff are, but the Uber population in Portland is great, and it took no more than 5 minutes to book a ride and get to or from that area, so that really wasn't a problem.

Alex was a great host, and his apartment is immaculate!

My husband and I had such a great time staying in this apartment. It was perfect in size and had all the comforts of home. It's also decorated fabulously. Being just a short walk from downtown Portland was also a huge plus. This is a place we'll definitely return to. Our hosts Alex and Ken were very welcoming and accommodating. Overall a great place to stay, hosted by even better people.

Alex and Ken were wonderful! The pictures couldn't even do their apartment justice, it was amazing. They met us when we arrived and had some great suggestions for what to do while in town. Their guidebook is no joke, listen to their advice! We're already trying to plan our next trip up so we can stay there again. Thank you so much!

Beautiful place, attentive hosts, right on the edge of the West End.

We had a great trip to portland and great hosts. They were available whenever needed and had answers to all our questions! Highly recommended and amazing renovations to their home! Can't go wrong with this place! Perfect location and beautiful place to stay! Thanks for everything guys!

best place to stay in Portland. Ken and Alex were very accomodating, prompt and friendly. The apartment is exactly as described and the views of Casio Bay are beautiful. Nice quiet setting and parking is in their private driveway. Ken responded to my quetsions very quickly and even met me at midnight to make sure I was comfortable. Great value for the price and very spacious. Love the heated bathroom floor in the morning.

Ian is the most responsive host i have dealt with. such a pleasure. such a nice guy. the cabin is so sweet. the views are so serene and calming. and the bathtub and fluffy towels were great (even though i am not a bath person, i loved taking a bath with a view) definitely do a day hike to monhegan. spectacular. check out all the local preserves that abut the water. they are each beautiful in their own way.

My mom and I loved staying at this cabin! It was very clean, well-organized, and just plain cute. It was a little cold, but that's mostly due to the time of year we chose to go (October). Ian and his family provided us with numerous guides of Boothbay (and the cabin itself) so we could plan out our stay in detail and make sure we enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this listing!

The McConnell cabin could not have been more perfect for our getaway from the city. The cabin is wonderfully cozy, and the setting so serene and peaceful. The cabin is nestled in a wooded area right at the water's edge, and the abundance of windows make it easy to enjoy the surroundings. The hosts provide a great deal of privacy, preparing the cabin and simply leaving a key and instructions for check-in. The amenities are just enough to keep one comfortable while remembering to appreciate the simple things. Totally cozy. The composting toilet was easy to use with no odors, the bathtub a nice little luxury. The kitchen is minimal but plenty useful. The lack of Internet and cell service was a blessing, as we spent most of our time reading, relaxing, and enjoying the area. Boothbay has a great deal to offer, and catching the tail end of the season in October was perfect, as all of the attractions were quieter and less crowded. We hiked at nearby Porter Preserve and made a trip to Monhegan Island that was truly unforgettable. The area guide that the McConnells have written was very thorough and useful in planning outings. Ian was helpful in his communication and quick to respond to questions. The McConnell cabin is such a wonderful retreat, and we can't wait to return!

The cabin is very serene. We enjoyed the tides changing each day. Boothbay Harbor, the closest town, is very quaint and nice, and Portland is an easy drive if you need to see more people. We grilled a lot and roasted marshmallows. The compost toilet will take getting used to for some. Overall, I'd recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

We had such a good time last year that we returned, and found the cabin as wonderful as last time!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The cabin was exactly as described and more peaceful than I could have imagined. The views from the cabin and surrounding areas were spectacular. The only one that enjoyed it more than me was our dog. He really liked the space to run and explore. Just awesome. The compost toilet was probably the only negative for my girlfriend, but that was more my fault for not explaining clearly what it was. I had zero issue with it. The host was easy to deal with in the time leading up to trip and we were left undisturbed for the time spent at the cabin. Overall, we had a great experience and, if available, would love to make a return trip or ten. Only next time, I think my salt water rod will be in tow to capitalize on all the whales jumping out of the water right outside the door.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin ! What we saw online is what we got ! The accommodations are rustic but quaint. Boothbay is a wonderful area and we will want to come back and explore it some more !

I absolutely loved my few days at this beautiful little cabin in the woods. It was so peaceful. The only sounds were the acorns falling and the birds singing. I intended to do lots of hiking and exploring while in Maine, but this cabin was such a lovely retreat that I stayed right there for just about the entire time. I had worried about staying warm at first, but my worries were for nothing--the heaters made it very cozy, and if I ever felt a chill, the massive claw-foot bathtub was a perfect respite. I hope to be back again.

We wished we could have stayed more than one night. This is a gem in the beautiful woods of Kennebunkport. It was nice to get away from the busier areas of town. Having our own bungalow was a treat. Furnishings were great and Emily has it stocked with everything you could need. We look forward to coming back in the summer!

Seriously, the cleanest AirBNB ever! It seems like they designed this room specifically to be an AirBNB. Their advertisement is 100% accurate, which I appreciated a ton. I'd come again!

Pictures do not do the place justice. It's beautiful and so comfortable. More privacy than some "in-law apartment" / "guest house" setups would offer. Every little thing was considered (there were kcups, popcorn, fruit, and oatmeal.. towels, shampoo, hand soap..) Emily was also very communicative leading up to the trip and responded very quickly when we had a question. We had our own private fire pit outside and a parking spot. The place was PERFECTLY clean and ready for us.

Great location, clean and very roomy!

What an awesome place! The location is perfect and we really enjoyed the coziness of both the indoor and outdoor space. Clean, comfy, and the Keurig was a huge plus!

We had such a lovely stay in the apartment! Emily is a fantastic host. We loved being close to the beach, downtown Kennebunkport, the various conservation lands, and Kennebunk. The apartment was very cozy, and we loved the tall ceilings and decor. We couldn't have been more comfortable. It's a perfect place for a getaway!

The place was absolutely awesome. Rang the bell and we were helped to the room. Private room with all your own amenities. Very clean and neat. Space was very private and quite. We had our own personal fire pit and we used it every night, they provided all wood, kindling and smores. We got in about 20 mins early without any trouble. When we opened mini fridge we were welcomed with a pair of beers and waters, very cool. Place was great and will definitely look to stay there when we are in that area again.

We had a fantastic time! The room has everything you need and Emily & Aaron are brilliant hosts, they go the extra mile to help.

Lee's apartment was beautiful, quiet, and a lovely place to stay. Lee was welcoming and gave us all the information we needed - highly recommended!

Lee was very friendly and welcoming and showed us how everything in the apartment worked. The apartment is spacious and comfortable, and with a toaster, microwave and coffee machine, it has all you need for breakfasts and light snacks. The apartment was easy to find, just off Route 1, and well located between Schoodic and the main Acadia National Park. Overall, a very enjoyable place to stay and Lee is a very caring host who goes out of her way to make you feel at home.

Lee's place is a lovely gem and an incredible bargain for Acadia visitors! We fell in love at first sight when we arrived in the evening to our home away from home. We found it hard to pull ourselves away from the cozy, quaint upstairs apartment. Right across the street are stunning views of all of Acadia. Lee provided easy directions and communicated with such courtesy and promptness. She made us feel welcome from the moment we pulled in the drive. The apartment is spacious, well lit and super clean. We enjoyed waking up to views of unique pottery glistening in the sunny windows. We put the kitchen area to good use by stocking up on groceries at the IGA in Trenton (on the way to Mt. Desert Island). Lee recommened her favorite restaurant a few towns over in Millbridge. We feasted on a real local lobster dinner for a bargain price off the beaten path. Schoodic Peninsula is an easy 15 minute drive from the apartment. We were so glad that our stay with Lee prompted us to see this quieter side of Acadia as it turned out to be our absolute favorite part of the park. We decided to extend our stay since we were enjoying the apartment and the area so much. The only hard part about staying with Lee is packing up and leaving at the end of the week! We would definitely stay again.

Lee, thanks so much. We had a wonderful time and the unit was just great, spacoius and homey - exactly what we wanted. And all the local literature was a great help. When we can think of a way to get back to Maine, Maggie Mae and you can expect to see u. Don & Diane

We really enjoyed our stay at Lee's place. The accommodations were just right! The location was excellent. Across the street and up the road you have the most spectacular view across Frenchman's Bay of Bar Harbor and Mt. Desert Island. Also the Tidal Falls are a must see at low tide! So fascinating! We stayed in the apartment attached to the back of the house. It was a cozy space with excellent internet and television reception. I know you are on vacation but it is always nice to be able to stay in touch with friends and family and the outside world while away. The bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed. The night sky was so beautiful there, too! Lee is a wonderful hostess and very nice to talk to. Our stay was during the governmental shutdown of National Parks. Of course we were there to visit Acadia National Park. We were able to walk into the Schoodic Point side of the park for a couple of miles and we were so glad we did! We will have to visit again when the park is totally accessible. Thanks, Lee!

Lee was a lovely host and made us feel immediately at home. Her apartment of to the side of her house is really cute and comfortable. Its about half hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia and we really enjoyed our stay. There was a slight mix up about which of her two booking we were staying at but it got sorted out soon. Would highly recommend her place for exploring that part of Maine.

The upstairs apartment was spacious, comfortable, clean, and had everything you needed. Due to our long day trips to MDI, we weren't able to meet Lee, but she sent us a very nice message before our departure. The house is a bit tricky to find at night, but the detailed instructions we were given made it much easier. Overall a very comfortable stay in a location convenient to both sides of Acadia National Park.

Staying at Lee's was the perfect Maine getaway for us. It's equidistant to Schoodic Point and Bar Harbor and we were able to check out both locations while there. The space is very cozy with a wood stove, Keurig for coffee, and a lovely futon for hanging out. Great bedroom and hot shower. Lee met us there when we arrived and gave us a tour of the place and plenty of recommendations for places to explore. We loved our stay. Thanks, Lee!

Ted was an amazing warm welcoming host. He gave us lots of great advice of where to go both on Peaks Island and in Portland. If you are looking for a funky charming hideaway, this is the place! Thanks Ted Dima

The idea of staying in a tree house was what motivated my reservation-but having completed my stay-what will motivate me to return is the host-Ted. Ted is a warm, engaging vicarious gentleman who warmly embraces his guest and you become part of the culture of Peaks Island and also feel like you are 'home'. He is just an amazing person-perfect host. The tree house is comfortable. If you are on the 'large' size-it is highly probable you would have difficulty fitting into the opening that goes up a level to the bedroom. The bed is also a full-so two larger people would have difficulty fitting but there is the futon in the kitchen which is comfortable. Peaks Island is friendly and safe. One point to know is that the tree house doesn't lock when you are not in it. The screen door locks when you are in-but when you leave-the apartment is not locked. That is somewhat how the island works but just be aware. We had no thoughts of being unsafe by any means-but something for you to be aware of and know. The bathroom door (1/2 bath) also doesn't lock or actually have a door handle-again-not an issue but in full transparency if you have issues with not closing/locking doors-FYI. This was a fantastic experience at Ted's tree house. Go with the spirit of experiencing Ted and his amazing and magical personality and you will walk away happier and with a more positive outlook on life.

The Tree House is the best. What a beautiful spot with wonderful people, gorgeous scenery, fresh ocean air, easy access to Portland, and a very high cool factor! We'll be back!

Ted made us feel very welcomed and was an extremely gracious host. Staying at the tree house is an unique traveling experience and a nice way to explore Maine. Highly recommended for those travelers seeking a stay "off the beaten path." Thanks, Ted!

Teddy was an amazing host. He met us at the top of the hill after the ferry ride and picked us up. When my fiancé and I reached Teddy's love shack he gave us chocolate and a bottle of red. What a great experience and highly recommend it to anybody traveling to Portland or Peaks Island ME.

Ted was a great host! He called the day before we arrived and gave really helpful information about where to park and what restaurants to eat. The treehouse was amazing and clean - one of the most unique experiences! We miss princess butterball! Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay on Peaks.

Ted was so kind and welcoming, we immediately felt right at home! He had great recommendations for where to eat, drink and relax, both on Peaks Island and in Portland, and offered us great suggestions for beach spots to get some sun and relax. The Tree House is cozy and perfect for a quiet getaway! I would highly recommend a stay with Ted at the Tree House to get away from it all!

We had a wonderful time in the "Tree House." Would definitely stay again.

This is our family's second time staying at Bill's place on Echo Lake. It's a beautiful home base for hiking Acadia with grand adventures in the canoe after dinner. The view from the porch and windows are breathtaking and you have to experience the outdoor heated shower. The cottage is comfortable and cozy, with a nice selection of board games and books on site. Bill is spot on with communication. We will definitely stay again!

Staying at this cabin was a dream. It has an amazing view of / access to the lake, with a fun float we can swim or canoe to. Also minutes away from great hiking trails in Acadia park (the guidebook notes online and physical maps Bill provided in the cabin were super helpful). In the evenings we enjoyed grilling and smore making while watching the sun set. The water/shower sitch can take some getting used to but came with ample warning (the outdoor shower is actually much more consistent and refreshing). Bill was very responsive throughout the whole stay. Thank you for a lovely vacation experience!

Amazing! We loved the cabin and its location. We took full advantage of everything it had to offer: canoe and dock, BBQ on the deck, and gorgeous hikes.

We had a blast staying at the Aikman Family cabin in summer 2012. It is a simply beautiful residence right beside majestic Echo lake. Some highlights include exploring the craggy shoreline by canoe, sightseeing on Mount Desert Island and in Acadia National Park, listening to the Common Loons on the water at night, and getting to know the turtle living under the dock. Bill Aikman and his family were wonderful hosts to us; very helpful and enthusiastic about our visit. They provided us with information and guidance and encouraged us to explore, which we did. The cabin itself was well managed and properly equipped. We look forward to staying with them again in years hence.- David and Sarah

What an amazing place! Great location! The Aikmans were extremely friendly and easy to get a hold of. The lake was beautiful and quiet. Super close to Bar Harbor and all of Acadia. Highly Recommend!

Wonderful cabin and great place to stay. Rustic but very clean, comfortable, well supplied and convenient to everything. Having a place to swim in a beautiful lake right outside your door is a treat.

The Aikman Cabin was INCREDIBLE in Acadia National Park. We had such a wonderful time during our stay. The Cabin had everything we needed (grill, dock, canoe, beautiful waterfront views) and was very convenient to downtown Bar Harbor (only a 15 minute drive!). Proved to be a great "base camp" for our Bar Harbor weekend! We'll definitley be back! Steve and Steph

The listing was exactly what we expected. The view was beautiful and amazing and despite the water being a bit cold it was very refreshing. We had a minor hiccup when we arrived but the owner took care of it immediately and stayed on top of the issue until it was resolved. I highly recommend anyone wanting to stay in Maine on a lake to stay here! Our favorite part was the outdoor hot shower, great experience. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Great communication, makes you feel welcome in her house just like if you were a member of her family. Inside the cottage, everything is spotless, fresh lavender makes the air delicious and things are just were you expect them to be. Just take a look at the pictures and you'll fall in love with the place. Fantastic location, Amazing host, Gorgeous property, breathtaking beach front. We will be back.

The cabin is just as it's listed--quaint, quiet, by the beach. We only spent two nights here, but we had a great time and would recommend this bungalow over again. A great location for anyone who wants to getaway in Maine, but also close enough to visit surrounding areas such as Portland or Kennebunkport. We didn't run into Laura during our stay, but she periodically checked in over email to see if we needed anything. She was also very flexible with our check in time to accommodate us arriving after work and after quite a drive.

Laura was a terrific host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The private cottage is charmingly quaint and comes fully stocked with everything you'll need for a weekend get away. Located about 20 minutes from the heart of Portland, we used the cottage as a jumping off point to enjoy all the city had to offer. During the mornings we enjoyed walking along the private beach and having coffee on the wooden deck chairs. Overall we had a great experience and I would definitely stay with Laura again!

The original cottage is in a lovely location with direct access to the beach, but it is nestled tightly behind the main cottage. The pictures are accurate although it's best to read the descriptions thoroughly. The kitchen/dining is very small, but clean and functional. The walls and furnishings are original making for quite dark and dated feeling, and the windows don't open on the front screened porch so it gets stuffy inside. We had a really nice stay.

Wonderful spot - gracious and responsive host. Mere steps from the beach, which was remarkably uncrowded. We had tentative plans to do much more than lounge, but there really was no need to go anywhere. . . If you want to have beach but get away from it all at the same time, this place is just what you're looking for.

We stayed at Laura's lovely cottage over the 4th of July weekend, and enjoyed every moment of it! The place was clean, cozy and peaceful. If you want to have a relaxing weekend and get away from the hustle of the city life, this is the place to go! The location is perfect as you have access to the private beach and there is a hiking trail right across from the street. We will be back, for sure.

Laura's beach cottage is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Laura has thought of and provided for everything -- from beach gear to kitchen essentials and some light snacks. The location is great; just 20 minutes or so south of Portland and a few minutes south of Old Orchard Beach. The private beach is gorgeous, unpopulated and serene; hard to believe that the bustling Old Orchard Beach scene is just a couple miles away. We hope to be back again next season for a longer stay -- thanks, Laura!

We had a fantastic time in Laura's great cottage! Staying in there was so pleasant and relaxing, exactly how I imaged the coast of Maine. Laura was a sweetheart and very accommodating. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy the coast in a charming & unique place.

Great stay, very hospitable, would recommend to anyone! Breakfast was delicious!

A great host! The breakfast was the best I have had for a long while. The location was perfect and a 30 minute walk into Portland downtown was enjoyable.

Lovely night in Portland! The room was comfortable and directions to house were good.

I didn't get to meet Joseph but I did meet Martha. She was very helpful and she also let me leave my luggage before the check-in time. I really like the bed. It's very comfortable. And the bath is good, too. The room is very clean, and they also have some books in the room if you want to read instead of streaming Netflix. I love Portland. It's such an artsy town full of energy! I will definitely come back to visit and stay with Joseph and Martha again!!!

Great location, great room, close to the wharfs area and the university, the breakfast was lovely, communicating with Martha and Joe was a delight. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our weekend at Martha and Joseph's beautiful home. Room is spacious with king size bed that is super comfortable. House is located in a convenient location, with restaurants/grocery stores located within walking distance, and downtown is just few minutes drive away. Martha's delicious breakfast was a perfect way to start our day!

Joseph and Martha's place was perfect! The room is very spacious and comfortable, the location is walking distance to many restaurants and a short drive from Old Port, and the breakfast was fantastic. Definitely recommend to others!

Just as expected!

Jennifer's home was amazing! The pictures do not even do it justice - cozy space and central to everything we needed (food, drinks and to get to the airport quickly). Bed was (almost!) more comfortable than my own. Instructions were easy to follow and Jennifer was quick to respond to emails. Received a warm welcome with a hand-written note and some chocolate - can't beat that! Would definitely stay again!

Absolutely loved our stay! Jen and Soren's place is perfect - clean, has all the amenities, and is close to everything in downtown Portland. We were also able to communicate very easily with them. Couldn't have asked for a better mini-vaca. Highly recommend staying here.

This airbnb was perfect for my three friends and I who just wanted to explore Portland. The photos are accurate but the apartment is so much cuter in person...really is a perfect little place to stay. Everything was so clean and easy to figure out. Jennifer was a great host, when I texted her with a question she got back to me within 5 minutes. This space is about 15 minutes walking distance from downtown which was perfect for my friends and I. It's directly across the street from a hospital but you would never know, we never heard any sirens and the whole neighborhood was so quiet and comfortable. We felt totally safe in the apartment and walking back from town at night. Really a great area to stay in. Parking on the street was never a problem at all, we always found a spot usually within a few houses of where we were. My friends and I had an amazing time in Portland and we plan on coming back and would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you to Jennifer and her husband for their hospitality, it really made our trip so easy!

No disappointments staying at this condo. We walked into a clean, well decorated condo with a welcome note from the hostess and a notebook with lots of informative information. Location was great, we parked our car and walked everywhere. We were very happy with our choice. A big thank you to our hostess...

Jen's place is in a great location. Short walk to some great restaurants and nightlife (but still on a quiet street).

The house was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean and tidy. The bed and down comforter in particular we so cozy and comfortable! Every amenity was provided from a water filer in the kitchen to shampoo in the bathroom. The turkish towels were a lovely and eclectic touch!

Our stay at 88 Winter street in Portland was fantastic. Everything was as advertised and it was a perfect place for our trip to Portland!

Easy access into the apartment. Very close walking distance to downtown with multiple dinning venues and bars right around the corner. Apartment was comfortable and had everything you'd need. Parking was difficult on some days, so be prepared to walk if it's full. Jennifer was very attentive and responsive during the stay.

The house is beautiful and comfortable, it was the perfect place for our weekend in Maine. We loved being able to cook in the kitchen. Randy was a great host, he provided us with all the information we needed in order to have a great weekend in his home. I would definitely recommend this rental!

Randy's home was the perfect place for a quick weekend getaway with the girls. It was beautiful, clean, and with enough space that we could all hang out together but have our own space when needed! The house is tucked away, but close enough to town and Freeport/Portland that we had the best of both worlds. Randy was always prompt in responding, and incredibly gracious. Would strongly recommend his home!

The whole experience was wonderful from the get-go. All communication with Randy was courteous and very quick. the instructions re the house were clear and thorough. The area where the house is located was lovely; very private and spaious.

Randy and Leslie's place was fantastic! We arrived to a nice note, a bottle of wine, and some delicious snacks. The house is every bit as beautiful as it appears in the pictures, and the setting is quite peaceful - very private. This was our first experience renting an Airbnb place with our 15 month-old boy, but the fact that there was a crib and a high chair for him made things so much easier on us. The vintage bikes were also a nice touch. We brought a bike trailer with us and road into town on several occasions. (Check out Rosemont Market and Cafe if you have a chance - very cute, and really excellent fresh-baked bread). Also, Randy's recommendations for food were spot-on. We had been to Pai Men Miyake in Portland before (and loved it), but discovering El Camino Cantina (in Brunswick) made the whole trip worthwhile. Overall, Randy's hospitality and the beautiful home made for an awesome vacation. We'd return in a heartbeat.

The property is wonderful, warm and friendly atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome by Randy who pulled out all the stops to make our vacation a great experience.

I've rented many homes and this has been one of the best as far as provided amenities. I use rentals literally like a home away from home because I need to cook for my son with allergies. Most places I've had to bring or buy detergents, salt and pepper, and things like aluminum foil or measuring cups, and they provide you with badly treated teflon pans. That was not the case here. Randy's place is well-equipped and stocked for people who need a home base. Very clean, and exactly as pictured in the photos. Location was beautiful and very private; weather was gorgeous all except one day - the only day we missed having air conditioning available. Randy's kitchen table, overlooking the backyard, is a great place to work (for those of you who can't entirely get away) with the slider doors open and the breeze coming through. For older guests, the home is mostly easily accessible. There is a bit of a steep hill from the drive to the front door and there's a few steps up from the main level to the bedrooms that have no hand rail, but the steps are wide enough to assist. Laundry and garbage is located on a lower level with stairs down. I am happy to make Randy's property my first pick any time I return to the area.

I had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful, just like the photos. Randy was a great host, replying to messages very quickly and providing clear instructions and directions. He left us snacks, which we really enjoyed! The house was warm and cozy, clean, and there was a fully stocked kitchen which had everything we could possibly need to cook meals. I highly recommend this beautiful Maine getaway!

Communication from Randy was excellent and clear. Inside, the house is beautiful and spacious. The house is surrounded by trees, which makes for a really peaceful setting during the daytime. We did day trips to different beaches and state parks, and the house was in a great location for that.
