Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kennebec River

Sometimes photos just don't do the real thing justice, and this is the case with this property. The property and the views are truly spectacular! The home is huge and has everything you could ever need to live for a week or more. The porch, especially the screened in portion are magnificent and the hot tub was a perfect way to finish up a great day. We had so many plans to adventure out, but found ourselves wanting to stay and enjoy the pristine yard or just sit on the porch and enjoy each others company, we didn't want or need to leave. Having coffee and watching eagles fly by over the river was truly spectacular. Judy is one of the nicest, easiest hosts we have had the pleasure to work with and truly appreciates your patronage. And Hugh's journal on all things Graywood is a lifesaver. Not only would we return again, but we look forward to it.

David and Valle’s house is welcoming, and it was just right for our family get-together. The kitchen is very well set up for cooking, and the counter is both beautiful and a great place for gathering and conversation. There are many lovely touches in the house. We appreciated the yard and gardens, and our dog loved the walking trail. The location is peaceful but just a few minutes from Portland. David communicated well and offered helpful ideas for our visit.

We love staying at the Brownie. It’s a great home for any active family that appreciates a quiet surrounding. Great home and so close to SR. It can’t be beat.

Just returned from the most fantastic 2 weeks exploring the US which included a weeks stay at Kiwi Lodge. Where to start? This was exactly as described and the perfect base for exploring Maine. The property was spotless and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. 3 beautiful bedrooms, 2 great sized bathrooms, wonderful living area and kitchen and fantastic games room. Hot tub was brilliant. The location on the lake is just perfect, we had the lake to ourselves and took the canoe out. Nearest town of Farmington has all the shops and cafes you’d need. The communication from Kay was great from the day we booked, and recommendations we took her up on were all absolutely spot on. Thank you Kay and thank you Kiwi Lodge for a holiday to remember!

I was happy to return to stay at Deb's, this time around in the studio loft. It was very spacious and comfortable and included anything that you might want or need. It was a perfect spot for me to rest while watching ski races at Black Mountain for the weekend. Thanks for being a wonderful host once again, Deb!

Very nice stay! Cozy & felt like home. Lovely private hot tub space. Beautiful!!

If you like the outdoors, seasonal activities and have several guest, then this is the place for you! The kitchen is restaurant quality and well stocked with spices and cooking utensils. The property has plenty of amenities, games and the fire place and hot tub gives you a resort vibe - overall a great experience.

Possibly the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. This house was in spotless condition and looks even better than it does in the pictures. There’s a beautiful view from the back deck. It is the perfect place for a ski getaway and has so much character inside. From the hot tub to the pool table to the pinball machine, we were constantly having fun. Also didn’t have a single issue for the entire stay. 10/10.

Thoughtfully designed and appointed place - has all the things you need and Marcia makes it very easy to get in and check out. Easy to get to Lewiston, Brunswick, Portland and everywhere in between!

Colby’s cabin was everything I expected and more. The location was fantastic so private and quiet, even during Memorial Day weekend I didn’t see or hear anyone. The cabin is two miles up a dirt road, nestled into the woods on the side of a hill it’s the perfect weekend hideaway. My camping car (2012 crv, 250k miles) made it up no problem in May even with heavy rain the day before. The cabin has everything you could need just pack food and clothes. This could easily be more rustic but a lot of work was put into the little touches that take this place to the next level like wood stove, well pump, refrigerator and stove, and clean comfortable furniture. Lots to do in the area check out mt blue, tumbledown and Webb lake. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Super cute cottage! I really enjoyed a few peaceful days there on my own, it was exactly what I was looking for. It's very charming and has everything you need. Like others have mentioned, you can definitely hear the road noise so it doesn't feel totally secluded but that didn't detract from my stay. Emily was a great host, provided lots of helpful information, and very quick to respond.

The Strawberry house was such an amazing place for my wife and I to spend our first anniversary. We go to midcoast Maine every year and this was certainly a special one for us. Comfortable, thoughtfully designed and accessible to town. Highly recommend!

The lakeside cabin was just what I needed. Quiet, private, and right on the water. My dog loved running in the yard and swimming in the lake. The cabin was comfortable with all the basics, and sitting on the porch watching the water was so relaxing. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Third year in a row staying at Hannah’s beautiful 48Main St AirBnB in downtown Belfast. Centrally located within walking distance to great restaurants, coffeehouses, markets and beautiful waterfront scenery. Great communication with Hannah throughout our visit. Awesome stay, again!

This was a great experience for us, the artist cottage was outfitted like home with everything we needed. We cooked on an amazing stove, fridge was large and works well for food storage. Tanja was gracious and helpful. We enjoyed meeting her. I would love to stay here again. Highly recommend. You must do stairs as all bedrooms are upstairs. One room has en-suite bath with tub. The other shower and bathroom is downstairs and both have great water pressure and temp. Enjoy this jewel which is close to everything but still super private.

Beautiful setting on the lake with a modern, updated home complete with so many thoughtful amenities and touches - would love to return!! Spectacular sunsets and a private dock, too - did some late summer fishing on the Kennebago and the Magalloway - spectacular!

Beautiful and peaceful place! Just admiring the surroundings let the peace and tranquility set in and consume you. Highly recommend! Teresa is a wonderful host and flexible to your needs. Will definitely visit again, thank you Teresa!

Great place to stay with an awesome view of white heat!

Jonathan and Lisa were wonderful hosts! We stayed 3 nights to enjoy some Spring skiing at Saddleback. The home was close to town and a quick drive to Saddleback mountain. The house is perched high on a hill overlooking Rangeley lake. The downside is that the driveway is steep and icy (this time of year due to the recent March thaws) but the view and sunsets are breathtaking!! For an additional fee, you can enjoy their newly built sauna and whirlpool. So relaxing after a day of skiing that we booked it twice. The house has all the comforts of home. Being culinary masters, we had a bit of a struggle in the small kitchen. But certainly most everything you need to prepare great meals. Communication with the hosts was excellent and timely.

The home was beautiful and exactly as pictured. We especially loved the hot tub and the outdoor fire pit, such great touches for a relaxing stay. The space had everything we needed, and we felt right at home. We’d absolutely stay again in the future if welcomed back!

Great on mountain accommodation. Clean and well appointed for all the basic things you will need. Bethel has some nice dining and museum options for when the weather doesn't cooperate.

Great spot, would rent again!

We had such an enjoyable stay we didnt want to leave! All agreed we would stay here again - such a beautiful quiet retreat. Steve was a responsive host with detailed instructions for checkin/checkout. It made everything perfect for my family.

We had a lovely time at the cabin. Close to skiing yet peaceful and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay ! Thank you!
