Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Mount Desert

We had a beautiful stay with views of the sound. We saw all kinds of wildlife including hawks, heron, seal, eagles, ducks and more. While the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to enjoy lots of time outside, the windows and view kept us entertained in between hikes in Acadia. Amenities were lovely and the space was everything we needed and more.

Wonderful house fully equipped with everything we needed for a week with our grown children and grandbaby. Southwest Harbor is a beautiful little town and we enjoyed the coffee shops and restaurants. Great location to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

While it might seem a tad bit pricey it's right in line with all of this desirable area particularly in that you have the whole place, not just an apartment. The setting is beautiful and you could stay for a month and not run out of new experiences. We loved being on the "quiet side" of MDI in SW Harbor. Hosts were great to work with and I also appreciate we were able book on short notice after another reservation mysteriously disappeared from the app.

We loved our stay. It was just what we needed at the end of the day after exploring Acadia and the small towns scattered throughout the area. It was so cozy and we would definitely come back.

We had a great stay! Surrounded by beautiful nature. Very private but close 15 min drive into bar harbor. Trail head in the backyard was an added bonus. Very comfortable and large space to hang out! Loved our stay and would come back!

We had a wonderful week stay celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Samuel and Isabel and were wonderful hosts! The icing on the cake was being greeted by their sweet labs, Enzo and Stella. Our two year old daughter always had a smile on her face every time she got to see them. She poured all her love (and many hugs) to the two of them. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Mount Desert area look no further! Their guest home was beautiful, quiet, and serene. We hope to come back next year!

A cozy cabin deep in the woods right next to the water and Acadia. What more could you ask for?

Excellent location on the quiet side. My wife and three children had a great time

Great place to stay for a few days and explore the area! The space was beautiful and cozy.

Our stay was amazing! We actually thought that the place looked even better than the photos! It was in the middle of downtown Southwest Harbor, walkable distance to local places to eat and drink, very quiet and worth it. We loved how it was about a 20 min - scenic route - to Bar Harbor, 8 min from the Lighthouse, and a quick drive to Acadia. Very scenic area and right above the local ice cream shop. Kristina was a great host and was very responsive. We had everything we needed for our stay and it was the perfect getaway for a weekend away! Parking was easy and the place was coastal and cute! Would stay there again!

Such a cute place to stay near Bar Harbor and Acadia! The dogs were adorable! Perfect place to stay after a long day of exploring.

A quiet bungalow away from the tourist dense center of Bar Harbor and easily accessible to great food, hikes, and the park. The kitchen was well stocked and the whole place was thoughtfully decorated and appealing to all of us!

We had a wonderful stay at Ruddy's place. Ruddy and the caretaker were both very responsive and helpful. The home was comfortable, neighborhood quiet, and the location was perfect. Many restaurants, some shopping, and parks were a short walk away. Bar Harbor is absolutely beautiful, and we had a wonderful week there hiking, exploring, and enjoying the gorgeous views.

Great place for visiting Acadia. I usually try to book inside National Parks or as close as I can. Her place was 18 minutes to the visitor center and the drive was a nice drive. The breakfast food she left was awesome. Her kitchen was stacked with everything needed to cook dinner. 4 deer and 8 wild turkeys crossed over her front yard. It was a peaceful place to come back to after the crowds in the park.

Kevin and Donna's charming space is a hidden gem in Bar Harbor! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful yard with the multitude of birds, chickens, and ducks and the close proximity to Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbor area. Their home was the perfect space for us! It was clean and offered everything we needed while visiting the area. Kevin even checked in with us to make sure that we were warm enough when the weather took a turn and got chilly. We will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your home with us, Kevin and Donna!

This was the perfect space for our family of 4. We spent the day in Acadia which was an easy 30 minute drive. The house had everything that we needed and was very clean! We would definitely stay again. Having baby items at the house was very helpful - pack n’ play and high chair!

Love this Condo. Superb location in Blue Hill Village, easily walkable to everything downtown. Modern and updated making it very comfortable. Well equipped with cleaning/cooking supplies so you can "live normally". The hosts are super responsive and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

We were very happy start to finish. The location was just so unique and incredible. Right on a working marina, but very quiet. Plenty to see and do nearby. Walk across the pier and buy live lobsters. Christie was extremely helpful and quick to respond when asked. Condo was very well done with plenty of touches to make it homey. A good value! If we come back to Maine, we’ll call her first.

The place in Brooklin was delightful. We arrived at the edge of the season so got to enjoy the surrounding area mostly to ourselves. Our hosts were kind and welcoming and not overly attentive. They got a kayak out of storage and took it to the dock for me which gave me a lovely morning on the nearby cove. They also gave us a later checkout which was really helpful to not have to jump up and get things cleaned and packed. My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The location of the condo is perfect if you are looking to stay in Maine to explore Acadia. The condo itself is minimalist but completely adequate. The indoor swimming pool and amenities at the clubhouse are perfect for anyone with kids and/or rainy days! The views were beautiful off the deck. I would definitely stay again!

Pretty solid place, was on a discount but was clean, relatively near acadia, but only qualm was that it was a little hard to find. Not reallly host’s fault, we got confused. Overall solid place

Enjoyed our stay. Brian provided many great recommendations regarding Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park.

The condo was so convenient, it had minimal furniture, so it was open, gave a lot of space to my kid to run around and play without the risk of getting hurt. the place had everything you could need plus the added benefit of Netflix and HBO accounts provided by the host. Kitchen had all the utensils and pots and pans needed . They have a lovely patio , we couldn't use it because it was too cold but it'll be awesome to use in summer. Derek was super friendly. He responds within minutes and always has something to help and offer. The place also came with a pack and play which was really nice

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave! Everything about the cabin was well thought out. We loved having a fire and looking at the stars from the dock! Mark and Laurie were fantastic, friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. We would love to come back someday!
