Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Mount Desert Island

So many great things to stay about this fantastic Airbnb: amazing location, gorgeous backyard, everything was clean and neat. The hosts had excellent communication and were responsive as questions came up. They had great recommendations for supermarkets, hikes, local restaurants. There were so many little things that showed attention to detail: sound machines in every room, jewelry bowls on nightstands, good quality cosmetics, detergent for the washing machine, etc. The house has 3 bedrooms: all the linens were clean and neat. The one thing to keep in mind is that the third bedroom was smaller and had less space than the other two with no furniture - this would be perfect for a family with kids but was not ideal for 3 friends traveling since not all the bedrooms were exactly equitable. Overall, we had an amazing experience - it was such a pleasure to stay there.

Our family had the best, most relaxing vacation at Evergreen Hill! Everything was fresh, clean, and comfortable. Our dogs loved the fenced backyard but their parents loved that feature even more! We enjoyed being close to Southwest Harbor, Seawall, and Bass Harbor Head Light. Our hosts thought of everything for tourists with dogs, and our family was so appreciative. The neighborhood is private and quiet. We opened windows and listened to the birds every morning. We wholeheartedly recommend Evergreen Hill!!

James’ place was absolutely amazing! The views of the lake are stunning and he graciously accepts dogs in his home. We had access to the canoe and kayaks and fire pit, which could easily be enough for a stay in the house. The house was clean and in a private area. I would recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a quiet retreat. If I were to stay here again, the only thing I would do is probably bring my own pans to cook with.

A great place to stay in such a great area. Feels so in the middle of nowhere but in a good way. The stars are beautiful at night, the house was gorgeous, and they have plenty of games to play since there is no TV. But we didn’t miss the TV at all! Whoever sleeps upstairs will be forced to wake up with the sun because of the lack of curtains but also not a bad problem to have :) And the bathroom floors are heated, which is such a nice amenity!

We are a family of five with three teens. The space was perfect for us to all hang out together and play a board game at the dining table, as well as spread out and have plenty of down time in our own rooms. I thought it was a nice touch that the front door was open and the keys were in the kitchen. Great to have bathrooms in each of the rooms. When we were planning our trip, we weren't 100 percent sure if our pet care person was going to be available, and Sarah was very responsive and flexible with us asking if we could add our dogs at the last minute. We didn't need to bring them, but it was so helpful to know that we could. We bot a huge box of pastries from Clark Point Cafe, and we would have gone back and sat down for a full breakfast if they had been open on our second morning. I guess that gives us an excuse to come back! The back yard view is private and beautiful. So much to like about our stay. Hard to fit it all in here. Thanks to Sarah and her family for everything.

The best airbnb we ever rented. Brain is a very good host. Def a 5

Great communications and arrival instructions. The home was well prepared and clean. Everything was as described. There was plenty of room for our party of seven, and we loved the location: bike rental, coffee shop, restaurants on the same block, and the Bar Harbor businesses a short walk away. Also, a quick drive to all our favorite trails and sites in Acadia National Park. Would definitely stay here again!

This house is remarkably beautiful and welcoming. The walls of windows welcome sunshine throughout and the private views of the water are unmatched. Artistic details abound in the interior - like Anthro and West Elm had a baby. We vacationed with our toddler and my in-laws and we all had ample space to gather, as well as disperse. Highly recommend! Local recs: The Activity Shop for kayak rental delivery, pizza from Blaze, coffee from Bucklyn, brunch at Humblebee Cafe, sundries from Blue Hill Co-op, blueberry pie from Mount Desserts (on way to Acadia).

Nice place! I had a great time here with my dog. The host gave us instructions when we arrived, and he response very quickly and friendly. Highly recommend

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

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

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.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

The location was perfect - you didn’t need your car to get around. We were right at the main square or park with lots of interesting shops and restaurants close by. We were 10 minutes from Acadia National Park. Highly recommend spending the extra $6 to drive up Cadillac Mountain. The unit was well appointed, clean, and had games for the kids to play. I did’t care for the shower but I am not used to a claw-foot tub shower. Overall really enjoyed our stay!

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!

Amazing place to stay if looking to explore Bar Harbor and Acadia! Lots to do around. Place was as described and pictured. A lot of space! Beautiful views from the balcony. Wish we stayed longer. When we come back, will definitely stay again!

Cozy little cabin right by the road that goes to Acadia national park, which makes it very convenient for people planning to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor. It had everything we needed: comfy bed, coffee maker, little fridge, functional bathroom, television. Communication with Maria was great, as she was always friendly and responded quickly to questions.

We had a great experience at this Airbnb. Both the main house and the outhouse were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was responsive and made check-in effortless. The location was quiet and peaceful — perfect for a short getaway. Everything matched the listing description, and the little details really made a difference. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-maintained and hassle-free stay!

We really enjoyed our time here with our two dogs. We came in their off season so locally most things were closed but Bar Harbor was a short drive and we were still able to enjoy the park even in the rainy weather. House was spotless and the hot tub was a nice surprise.

Hall Quarry is a gem in and of itself within the greater Acadia area. The Sound behind the property is pristine in the early morning, even with some rain (which we learned happens on and off, in April-May at least). The home was a place to lay our heads after traversing as many as we could have the Park’s trails, islands, mountains, carriage roads, beaches, and downtown Bar Harbor streets. Our pup felt safe and relaxed when we finished our day. It was clean, stocked with essentials, and met all of our needs. The deck at night and early morning with the sounds bugs and the birds is a nice touch with coffee. Joe was accessible, communicative, and had GREAT recommendations for hikes, food, and other activities. 10 out of 10, would stay again.

Assuming you read through the listing and know what to expect the place is exactly as described! Very unique property! Although the price is a bit steep for little to no amenities, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Very relaxing place. Forces you to slow down, talk to your partner or read a book. The hot water in the outdoor shower was more than sufficient even with temps in the 30/40s. Comfortable bed and warm blankets. Lots of deer and wild turkey sightings. About 30 mins drive to most Acadia attractions. Perfect place for a step up from camping!

If you are looking for a vacation that is quiet, relaxing and with stunning views then this is the place! Only 10 minutes from downtown bar harbor and quick easy access to Acadia. Honestly, my wife and I made less trips to Acadia because the views from the property were better! The hosts are fantastic and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend.

Wonderland was wonderful! Not only was the place immaculate and adorable but the location was perfect for privacy and peace! We felt right at home at Aarons and appreciated all the amenities including a delicious breakfast with THE BEST PASTRY EVER!!! Aaron knows the area very well and provided us with detailed maps and instructions to great sights that we would have never known of! Honestly this was the best airbnb we have ever stayed in.
