House holiday rentals in Frenchman Bay

Me and my friends loved this BNB!! The hot tub was amazing and the pool was an awesome addition. Instructions were clear and even called to walk me through everything. Plenty of places to sleep and loads of places to go!

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.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

This was one of the most memorable places I have ever lived at! The property is huge, well maintained and just a perfect getaway spot with the right amount of amenities. Will definitely recommend this place 10/10 to anyone visiting Acadia National Park.

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!

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

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 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!

Beautiful and beautifully appointed home. Spacious with lovely kitchen and living room. Quiet and on a small cove with perfect chairs to just sit and read and watch the tide and escape completely. Close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor to feel perfectly located. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Charles' Cottage in Bar Harbor is on a quiet street two blocks from a vast number of restaurants, cafes and shopping. It's a great location, and the cottage was a perfect place to return to after a long day of hiking and biking. So comfortable and ready for a night in or a night out!

10/10 stay! The location is stunning with beautiful views, and the home was spotless and super comfortable. Our family of five felt right at home with plenty of space to relax. We brought paddle boards and had an amazing time on the water, then enjoyed cozy fires in the evening. Truly the perfect weekend getaway — highly recommend!

The photos on the website didn’t do it justice! It was a beautiful location and a great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Acadia and Bar Harbor. This rental is almost good enough to be your actual destination. The house has everything you could possibly imagine and it was just pristine. They also provided all the paper products four adults needed for 9 nights. Thanks for a lovely stay!

The space was perfect for three couples for a getaway weekend and could have housed more if needed! Bedrooms were big and comfortable. Plenty of space to hangout in the living room and kitchen, an awesome deck to enjoy the sun and stars and plenty of parking in the driveway and garage! Plus the basement has more fun activities and space. The house was easy to find and not far from amenities but still offers a secluded and peaceful feel. Recommend Taft Point preserve for a short walk with beautiful views of the bay!

Mark’s Airbnb was a perfect pick for our girls weekend. Less than 15 minutes to bar harbor yet secluded and not in the center of it all. House was clean, well stocked with amenities and we had no issues! Would definitely stay here again.

Such a peaceful and charming getaway! Loved the private backyard space and all of the cute design details. Plenty of fans to keep us cool and lots of supplies/activities. The little radio speaker was great and loved that there were some guidebooks to read and games to play. The first aid kit was fully stocked too which was so handy. SO glad that we had this spot to come back to after long days in bar harbor, nice to be away from the touristy area and to have such a cozy space to unwind. The neighboring town of Ellsworth was super cute and definitely worth a visit if you stay here. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to visit the area.

Wonderful stay. The house has beautiful views and is very peaceful. We really enjoyed the view from the house and the beach is right in the backyard. The water is so clear you can see the bottom. Really really nice. Michael had great recommendations on what to do and where to eat before we even started our stay. He was always responsive and helpful. We had an incident where we locked ourselves out (totally our fault) and he responded in less than 5 minutes and was able to unlock the house pretty quickly which we greatly appreciated. The only thing I would note is that if you're coming solely for the main views in Acadia and to hike the most popular hikes, it did take us about 1 hour and 10 mins to get there. Winter Harbor and the Schoodic peninsula is much closer at about minutes. I would highly recommend!

We had a great stay at the bungalow! Mary is an excellent host and we felt right at home in the house. It's in a great location, just a few minutes away from the Schoodic Point portion of Acadia and about an hour's drive to Mt. Desert/Bar Harbor (we made this drive several times and didn't mind it at all as it's quite scenic). You can easily walk to the cafe in town for breakfast or lunch and the grocery store has a very good selection for such a small place. The neighborhood itself was very quiet, I am pretty much the world's lightest sleeper and did not have any issues sleeping through the night here! We were also able to see quite a bit of wildlife from the front porch including deer, turkeys, and a porcupine. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and there were also coloring books, etc. for children, which was a nice touch! Overall, we had a great stay and thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Maine. We hope to be back soon!

the place was great! Perfect location. walking distance to absolutely everything in town but not near anything noisy. the towels were extremely soft! very easy check in and checkout. Didn't have a bunch of unnecessary rules for check out very simple and reasonable.

LOVED this place!! Clean, that’s a dealbreaker, and it was clean! Situated on 8 acres, peaceful, dog-friendly, cozy, just felt like home. Loved the bottle of wine and chocolates, that’s the way to a girls heart, after a clean place ofc. There were tissues in the bathroom, stocked kitchen, w &d, great lighting. There was this quilt and rug in the master bedroom that looked like I was sleeping at grandmas house. We had to drive everywhere, as this was not a walking rental, but totally worth it. Felt like the heart of Acadia. You have to drive to all the trails anyway. Would totally stay here again.

Loved our stay in your beautiful home. The decor and cleanliness made us feel right at home. Perfect place to leave the Acadia crowds behind! Everything was perfect!

We stayed at this place for a weekend! Family of 4! Everything was great! Very peaceful surroundings! Quite, private and gorgeous. We enjoyed kayaking, I managed to cut white perch from the ramp, used grill once. Place looks new and welcoming. I wish we had more time to spend at the house. Bar Harbor/Acadia/Sand Beach is less then an hour away, easy access with no traffic. Meghan was very responsive! Our flight was not until 6pm and she allowed for a late check out. Book this place with no doubt, you will not regret. Will comfortably accommodate a family of 5.

Our stay was amazing! The home is located on a quiet street on a wooded lot. Even though it was quiet, we were minutes away from Bar Harbor and the Acadia entrance and visitor center. It was very easy to come and go from the park to give our toddler an afternoon nap. The kitchen space is well equipped, including a grill. The space was perfect for our family of 3, but could certainly accommodate a few more. Noelle’s family was so welcoming to us! The space was clean and comfortable — super nice that it had laundry, which he used several times!

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!

Sabrina was a great host and thought of everything we may need. Her place was so close to the water and we used the kayaks a few times and had a lot of fun. Lamoine beach park was a great place to take my dog and it was only 2 blocks away.
