Family-friendly holiday rentals in Blue Hill

A beautiful rustic cabin in an amazing spot. Lori is a great host and is always near in her farmhouse to communicate and get you what you need. Appleton is not far from Camden / Rockland but has that rustic getaway feel. The option of adding a wonderful soak in the hot tub, wood fired sauna, massage and breakfast are available as well. I’ll be back next year! Thank you for everything, Lori!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay at Latham blueberry farm. Doug and Brenda were incredibly helpful and friendly- they introduced us to the house and farm as soon as we checked in and were always available if needed. The beds were comfy, the kitchenette stocked, and the grounds were gorgeous. Their beautiful 1826 farm house was an authentic experience of staying on a farm- our kids loved feeding the animals (especially Ernie the pig and Moses the horse); picking fresh blueberries; and swimming and paddleboating in the private pond. Our hosts had great recommendations for local outings, and we loved chatting with them and playing with their puppy Jackie. Our family made lifetime memories.

Our 2nd stay with Dwayne and Pati, it never disappoints. Private home, beautiful surroundings.

We had a very relaxing vacation. Verona Island is convenient for day trips to a number of attractions like Acadia, Camden and even Monhegan Island. Even when the weather was bad there was plenty of table space for puzzling, Bananagrams and Scrabble. The house was comfortable with views of the Penobscot River.

This place is so lovely and peaceful. We loved the water view from the loft and roaming the beach. It is a great spot.

What an awesome place to stay! Lori was incredibly gracious and accommodating with out late arrival. The cabin towards the back of the property was so cozy. Fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

Our family of 10 (and 5 pups) were welcomed aboard Bonny’s maritime treasure of sophisticated comfort while attending a family wedding in nearby Rockland. Grand furnishings throughout the home were complemented by down-filled pillows, personal photos of family fun, tasteful memorabilia, and nautical accessories, each hand-selected and impeccably placed. The spacious, oversized bedrooms and bathrooms were appointed for every possible need. The home’s surrounding expansive landscape was ideal for roaming of pups and their humans alike, while board game selections inside made for great late-night family debate. A General Store is located nearby for essentials, while a 20-minute drive to downtown Camden offered waterfront wine bars, breweries, delis, and fine dining restaurants among art galleries, outfitters, and boutiques. The beautiful coastal Maine drive presented several renowned lobster shack options as well. While over much too soon, we enjoyed every second of our Lincolnville stay.

Our family had a great time at Fern Way! We had 5 teen/young adults and 3 older adults in our group. The house is conveniently located close to Long Pond for swimming and boating, and within easy driving distance of Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The kitchen is very nicely equipped with every kind of cooking utensil and pan you can imagine. The house is attractive and comfortably furnished. We’re so happy we planned our vacation there!

Blackberry Cottage is so cozy and quaint. Suzanne is a fantastic hostess and is quick to respond if needed. The cabin is on property with other cabins, but this one feels secluded so you feel you are in a private location. The cabin was clean and the kitchen had all of the amenities we needed for our stay. We stopped and picked up groceries on the way in so we could cooks a few meals during our stay. The only suggestion I would make is to provide some sort of solid covering for the bathroom window apart from the lace curtain. There are woods next to the bathroom, but it would be more comfortable when showering at night if we had the option to cover the window with a shade or solid curtain.

This cabin is in a perfect location with water views out every window. It felt very homey and relaxing. The beds were comfy and linens soft. We took advantage of the tandem kayak and traveled around Burying Island. There were loons, seals and bald eagles! We also enjoyed the double Adirondack chairs/table by the shore for amazing sunsets.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this airbnb. The location was easy to find and access, and it met our needs for our stay in the area. The airbnb was very cozy, and as a bonus, came with friendly chickens on the property! :) Natalie was very responsive and provided excellent communication. We would definitely recommend this place and this host to anyone looking for a rental in the area. Thank you!

We come every year. It’s a great quiet place.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at Judith’s cottage in Deer Isle. Judith, her partner Linda, and Kate (Linda's daughter) were incredibly welcoming—always kind, helpful, and full of great recommendations about the area, from hiking trails and restaurants to local shops and the island’s fascinating history. We truly enjoyed our conversations with them, and they were also very respectful of our privacy. The cottage is rustic but cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The Wi-Fi worked well, and the garden and views of the cove were beautiful. It’s also a great location for exploring Deer Isle, the Blue Hill Peninsula, and even Acadia National Park. We’re grateful for the hospitality and would gladly return!

Great spot right on the lake! Very quiet and beautiful, it felt like we were the only ones on the lake. Perfect little camp to explore the area, it had everything we needed. The warm shower was perfect and much needed after primitive camping for a few days. The camper was super cozy, too. Would gladly visit again!

Tucked in the woods of Orrington, Maine, this lakeside retreat offers a rare kind of stillness. Facing south on the water’s edge, it provides serene views of both sunrise and sunset that frame each day in quiet beauty. Wildlife is abundant, loons echo across the lake and deer move gently through the trees, yet the home is only a short drive from Bangor’s restaurants, trails, and conveniences. We initially booked for three nights but quickly extended to four. This place invites lingering. It’s easy to settle into the rhythm of the land, the lake, and the quiet. Inside, the home is curated with care including a lovely vinyl collection; late night jazz and morning classical set the perfect tone for slow coffee and reflection. The host was responsive and thoughtful throughout, making everything seamless. We will absolutely return and recommend this home to anyone seeking not just a place to stay, but a space to truly be.

This is our 3rd stay here. We love the location. It's perfect for anything you want to do in Bar Harbor or Acadia or just sitting on the deck and watching the Bay.

A few times while wandering around midcoast Maine in late March, we were asked if this is when we usually came to vacation here. Yes, we are educators from the Southwest, and this was our spring break, so this is when we came to visit, but honestly, it is so peaceful this time of year. Especially Boothbay Harbor, and what we imagined while walking around the very quiet town would be a very different place in July! Our experience at Abby’s space was absolutely wonderful and serene in the spring. The thoughtful touches (thank you for the bottle of Maine wine and jar of blueberry jelly!) made it even more special. Thank you, we hope to be back one day.

Cannot imagine a better spot to relax with our family. A lucky spot for the owners and luckier for us that they share the rental with strangers.

Aimee was wonderful to deal with. Her place was absolutely beautiful. we definitely picked the right place. the sunrises were so awesome. Rockland was a gorgeous little town.

Three girlfriends and I stayed at Hillside for a week. The setting and location were absolutely beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful and I loved walking the trail. The house was roomy and comfortable. We highly recommend!!

This place is absolutely amazing. It was larger than expected. It looked smaller in the pictures. Everything in the apartment was squeaky clean and we had every single thing we needed, from pots and pans to board games. Great ocean view from the porch, the living room and from one of the bedrooms. I loved seeing the boats pass by. So peaceful! I stayed there with my elderly mom, my teenage daughter and her friend for 4 days. There was so much to do! We enjoyed both the outdoor and the indoor pool. The kids took advantage of the Health Club by playing ping pong, badminton and going to the video game room. They also spent several hours playing chess in a very nice room near the lounge area that had a gorgeous ocean view. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant in the resort and were impressed by the amazing view. Great service. We also enjoyed the long walk to the lighthouse right next to the resort, and loved going to Camden, such a charming little town, 10 minutes away. The hostess, Laurie, was very accommodating, super nice, and communicated with me frequently, making sure I had all the answers I needed. I would definitely go back there! Glad to have made such wonderful memories! We didn't want to leave!

Valerie's home was clean and in a quiet neighborhood peaceful stay

My husband and I, and our two pups had a fantastic time in the Carriage House for a week. Part of a breathtaking private/secret compound on the water…with the most incredible private tidal pool. The place is so authentic, which is what we love about staying in ME when we can escape. We were so blessed to find Margaret’s place last minute. Margaret’s mother, Sally, and her husband were in the main Kate’s house. So so sweet they were to us and our girls. A dog paradise. We are foodies. Plenty of good restaurants around - just a few minutes to the adorable village of Stonington. Around the corner is one of the best restaurants in the country - Aragosta. We can’t wait to return…hopefully, in the Fall. A trip we will always remember. Thank you, Margaret & Family.

Rockland, June 2025 The house was spacious and comfortable. The house is well stocked and clean. Rockland is a nice area that we plan to visit again.
