House holiday rentals in Frenchboro

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

We had a wonderful stay at John’s place, house was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed for a month stay. Private and beautiful surroundings, responsive and friendly host, and a great location to explore Maine and the upper east coast. Memories to last a lifetime! Would recommend anyone wanting to enjoy to coast of Maine to stay here and have a great time, so much to see and do. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

We got a very rainy week in Maine but still enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable and well stocked house, views, decks and incredible garden. Beautiful restaurants, bookstores and wine and antique shops near by. Hope to return to very soon.

If you’re looking to stay in Bar Harbor, this is the place! We felt very at home during our 1 week stay and walking to and from downtown Bar Harbor was easy and accessible. The house is also a 8 minute walk to the nearest grocery store so cooking your own home made meal was simple. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family and would stay here again!

We had the most amazing week at Adam and Lauren’s place! I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was. The house was and cozy inviting- we felt right at home. And it had absolutely everything we could have possibly needed. All of the furniture was incredibly comfortable, and we slept amazingly in the king sized bed. But what made this place shine was the outdoor space. First, it is nice and private, separated from all the neighbors by trees/patches of woods. But beyond the privacy, the hosts have put so much attention into making it outstanding with all the amenities you could want on vacation- an amazing hot tub, a lovely little lounge space, a tent to get out of the sun or rain, a grilling area, AND a pool?! PLUS a separate, fully fenced space for dogs?? AND THEN it’s only 20 min to Bar Harbor?! It’s got it all. Truly. If you are considering booking this place, do not hesitate for one second. It is the PERFECT Acadia getaway. And Adam and Lauren are great, attentive hosts!

We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of beds for everyone. Convenient to get to Acadia and bar harbor with a short drive!

We loved the place! The house is cozy and roomy but feels secluded even though you are right at the entrance of the camp grounds. It is conveniently located a short drive to downtown bar harbor and Acadia NP so you aren’t wasting much time driving around. Highly recommended the place to couples/small families looking for a nice place to stay on MDI!

This is an incredible property! The views are simply amazing. The entire area is packed with fun and great food and views …WOW! We rented a two-person kayak which was so fun to just take off from the dock into ocean water. It’s the harbor, so the water is fairly calm. Even this cautious skeptic felt very safe kayaking in the ocean. Do it!!!! We want to come back!!!

We had such a nice stay at Ross and Dana’s place! The home was spacious and private, and we loved waking up for a view of the lake with our morning coffee. Whether it was going for a paddle on the lake or taking a day trip into Acadia, their place was the perfect location for our stay!

My family and I stayed here for a week on MDI and totally felt at home. This place is cozy without feeling crowded at all, and they have included everything we could have possibly needed, from useful kitchen utensils and containers to a box of tissues in every room! I really liked being able to store our bicycles in the shed out of the weather - although the weather turned out to be great. There are some lovely garden areas all around the home as well and it was a pleasure to watch the flowers continue to bloom during our stay.

We stayed here for our first wedding anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. The place was peaceful, spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We loved how close it was to all kinds of fun activities, but honestly, we could have spent the whole time just enjoying the property. The sound of the river right outside was so calming—we fell asleep to it each night. There’s a cozy outdoor firepit we made good use of, and the hosts even left us a thoughtful local Maine gift at check-in, which was such a sweet surprise. Can’t recommend this spot enough!

The house is well kept and well stocked. Perfect for our weekend escape

Had an awesome time! The view and the space was beautiful, one of the nicest and most welcoming airbnbs I have ever stayed it. A little far from Acadia National Park but the drive was easy and it didn’t feel that long at all due to the sights. Would totally stay here again.

John's place is absolutely beautiful and homey! The house has been totally renovated in the winter of 2025 and is very lovely, classy, on-trend in ways that make this seaside cottage feel so refreshed, current and relatable. And that's just the INSIDES! The deck overhanging the rocks to the shore is THE perfect place to hang out: start your day here with a mug of hot coffee. Have lunch and cocktails in the afternoon/evening while viewing the unspoiled, gorgeous bay. Nature and serenity are what this place is ALL about! Enjoy the total peace, privacy and happiness this home provides. It's a true gem!

Simply magical! Cozy and fun space. We enjoyed watching eagles and ospreys fish, seals pop their heads up, and even an adorable family of foxes from the comfort of the living room! Kitchen had all necessities for cooking most meals at home. A nice trail for walking down the road and an awesome beach where the kids threw stones and searched for seaglass each afternoon. We were all sad to leave!

Goose Cove was very comfortable spot for us on the quiet side of the island. Modern and clean. Two bedrooms on the opposite side of the house made for maximum privacy. Each had its own bathroom. The kitchen was had everything. Washer and dryer were top-notch. Patio was great for relaxing. Can’t emphasize enough how nice it was to return each day, especially on crowded days over by Bar Harbor. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely loved being in Stonington. Such a lovely town that felt true to Maine’s roots. Susan’s place is right at the heart of Stonington. The house has lots of rustic charm, we loved the views of the harbor. The kitchen was nice to have for breakfast and lunch, for dinner we were able to walk to restaurants right from the house. Worth noting that several restaurants are closed before the first weekend of June and/or on weekdays (Monday especially).

We had an incredible stay at the Blue Hill Bay house! Nestled in a peaceful wooded setting, the home feels wonderfully secluded, yet inviting. The expansive windows, especially from the top floor loft, make you feel like you’re living in a treehouse. We loved spending evenings around the fire pit, which is surrounded by thoughtfully curated plants, creating a truly magical atmosphere. The grill was easy to use, making outdoor meals a breeze. Inside, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms spotless. We also appreciated how thoughtfully designed the space was, especially since it's hard to find a cute place that also warmly welcomes dogs. If you’re considering a stay here, don’t hesitate, this place is a gem! We can’t wait to return.

From the very beginning of our booking process, Stephanie was absolutely incredible! We had a secret wedding elopement and Stephanie made sure that we had the best experience possible for the reception we had at her place. We set up tents outside for the dinner, and spent quality time with friends and family both inside, and outside by the fire. It was a memorable and unforgettable experience thanks to Stephanie and her beautiful home. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a getaway close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and needs some peace and quiet! Her home was absolutely beautiful, we had no complaints, just all great things to say! Cannot wait to come back here again next year! (: Stephanie was very responsive and so kind! Stay at her place, you will not regret it!

We spent 2 days at this comfortable Deer Island home and enjoyed the peaceful location. The home was very clean and well-stocked and only a short drive to Stonington and kayaking with Osprey Echo in the Deer Isle Archipelago.

Great stay! Located on Flanders pond (5 min walk; boat launch / public beach to fish / kayak / SUP). Caught over 10 fish in one boating trip. We’ve been to Acadia before so while we did visit the park, it was awesome to have the option to hang out at the ponds/ lakes / public land nearby and go hiking / swimming / fishing. Schoodic Mountain hike (Donnell’s Pond - 10 min drive) with a 1000ft ascent has stunning 360 views and rivals (if not surpasses) main Acadia hikes. We also went to the quiet Schoodic Peninsula side of Acadia, stopped at the beaches and then hiked Schoodic Head (500 ft ascent) / Buck Cove Mountain Trail (25 minutes away). The new modern cabins have great kitchen set ups with high-end appliances, deep set sink and cuisanart pans which made cooking easy. Super comfortable beds and every amenity needed for teenagers (Multiple TVs, WiFi) etc. Fire pit, grill and screen porch also made for a comfortable stay. Owned by a super nice local family. We will be back!

Beautiful place in a beautiful setting! We loved Salt in the Pines for our group of three couples. Scenic ~20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and easy access to Acadia. We already want to come back and stay again!

Had a great stay! Loved the house, the general store, and breakfast at morning moon cafe.
