Holiday rentals with a kayak in Penobscot County

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Holden, ME! This Airbnb was so nice and clean and pretty close to Acadia National Park. I needed to stay close to work in the park and this spot was the perfect distance away. It was quiet, peaceful, and away from tourist traffic. Also close to gas stations and a grocery store. The hosts were so friendly and nice and we would highly recommend anyone stay here! Thank you Dana + family!

The location of the house was perfect for our visit to Acadia. It was very quiet and serene with beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and the fire pit at night. We highly recommended this hidden little gem.

I live nearby but had friends visiting from Germany and wanted them to have the "camp" experience. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. My friends loved it as well as being right on the lake. The place was exactly as described and we felt right at home. I'm hoping this place is available whenever we have friends visit because I would definitely book it again.

Took a family trip to Acadia and this was a great place to stay. The house was very comfortable and enjoyed the on-site hiking trails and sitting down at the lake and having a wine. Appreciate the quick response from the owner when I had a question. Great getaway!!! Thank you for a memorable stay!

Kevin and Cathy's place is spotlessly clean and in a pristine and serene setting. Great location on the lake with views of sunsets and sunrises. The kitchen and baths appear to be renovated and are in spotless condition with lots of supplies. We really didn't need a thing. There was never a need to reach out because instructions and pre-checkin in communications had already answered everything. We didn't use any of the many kayaks (a bit too chilly) but we did enjoy the firepit. We like the layout, with bedrooms on the top floor and living space downstairs - adults could sleep in while kids were free to have breakfast and play downstairs. I can't think of anything to add or change about this lodging. It was a wonderful visit.

I couldn't ask for a better, home location and host. Thanks for everything.

Beautiful location, accommodating host and very responsive and flexible. The place is a hidden gem right next to the lake. It is in a very secluded setting, definitely worth it.

We had a wonderful time in Dedham and the Narrows Lake House was a great home base. The lake is absolutely beautiful, and the house is relatively close to Ellsworth and Bangor, as well as Acadia. Really nice place to wake up every morning (with the added plus of a very friendly dog named Miss Aspen who will definitely say hi!). The house is pretty far back on a long and narrow gravel road, so it's not particularly walkable and you'll want to have a car that's at least a little bit suited for it. Our rented minivan was just fine but an older vehicle or one with dim headlights might make it a little tricky. The floors are also quite thin and sound travels downward, so if you have kids or louder members of your group, you'll want to have them stay in the basement if possible. Finally, Colleen was a kind and attentive host! She reached out before the stay, which was very appreciated, and is delightful to talk to. You'll be very well taken care of if anything does happen.

We absolutely loved our stay! Kevin and Michelle were excellent hosts exceptionally friendly, responsive, and helpful. Although gps was undependable, they gave excellent driving directions from an easily found spot with dependable gps coverage. Kevin and Michelle truly have a slice of paradise. Their cabin was beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained. Yards surrounding cabin were so tastefully landscaped with beautiful flowers everywhere. Just imagine a spot in the mountains with snow on mountain tops, a nice sandy beach, free kayaks and canoes, big lake with fish, loons and all kinds of wildlife. Follow this with a spectacular sunset and you have Windy Point!

A little slice of heaven! The Nest was everything we hoped for and more. The sunsets over the crystal-clear lake were stunning, but what really struck us was how long the colors linger in the sky up here, creating the most peaceful and relaxing mood to close out each day. The cabin itself was cozy, thoughtfully designed, and the perfect size for our getaway. We left feeling refreshed and grateful, already looking forward to a return visit.

Janice's place was a beautiful getaway. Very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the view and our stay there. Janice was a great hostess and gave us all the information we needed and more. Would definitely stay there again when visiting family in the area.

Can’t say enough about Craig’s beautiful lakeside cottage. If you like remote, peaceful and being close to nature this is for you. The house and contents seemed brand new and they had thought of everything we could want, right down to pancake mix, maple syrup and Maine blueberries for our breakfasts. An easy drive to Acadia. Craig was communicative, friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic stay and hope we’ll be back.

This cabin is the perfect location for a peaceful retreat. When we showed up, we were amazed at how quiet and serene the atmosphere was. The pictures from the listing are what drew us in but even they don’t hold up to seeing it in person. We had a great night out by the fire pit and the Traeger was easy to use for grilling up food. The cabin is very clean and updated. The nights were clear while we were there, and it is amazing how many stars are up in the sky when you’re away from the lights of big cities. If you are looking for a quiet place to get away, look no further. This cabin is perfect for a couple looking to escape and enjoy the peace of nature surrounding them.

We loved our one week stay at the cabin! It was really wonderful living right at the lake, having breakfast outside, kayaking, going swimming almost every day and just enjoying the time doing nothing or reading. We also went hiking in the nearby State Park which was great. The cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed. Communication with Kim was really easy-going. We definitely recommend the cabin to anyone who wants to get away from everything for a while.

This was our second stay at Brian's place, and it was just as beautiful and peaceful as we remembered. The serene atmosphere and stunning views made it the perfect getaway. Brian was a fantastic host, and we truly felt at home. We will definitely be back!

Loved this place! Small but just enough space for quick trip! Had everything I needed and more! Anna helped me with questions and concerns - it was my first time staying at a camper. Although the owners live on location, I found it private and also felt safer knowing they were around! Amazing experience and hoping to come back again.

After getting things clean we enjoyed 28 days was not good weather went back to take care of our mothers things was good to have this place to come relax in would rent again even tho it wasn’t cleaned they tried to make things right loved the cabin

We had such a great time kayaking and exploring the gorgeous Mountains! The house is in good location to both NEOC and Baxter state park and the host responds in a timely manner! Overall great location in Millinocket.

The cabin was awesome. Lindsey was great and extremely quick with responses. My only suggestion would be to have some written directions for the road as are our GPS was struggling to locate the place at night, but still not difficult. Place had everything we needed, great water activities, and neighbors were awesome too. Would 100% rebook.

The cabin was very comfortable, quiet, and just as described. Everything you need for cooking is already there. The bed was comfortable, everything was clean, wifi was amazing. We went kayaking one day and it was beautiful. There are tons of rocks just below the surface of the water near the islands but you can see them because the water is so clear. The drive to the cabin is a long gravel road and thankfully we have 4WD because it might have been harder to get up the driveway from the cabin if we didn’t. There were loons on the pond every day and night but they were fun to see and hear. We also had some hummingbirds visit the feeder at the cabin and loved watching them our whole stay. The water from the faucet is from the lake but it’s so clear you almost wouldn’t know it. I would highly recommend staying here if you want a quiet, natural place to relax.

An amazing little sanctuary! It was peaceful and relaxing. It was so nice to sit on the deck and listen to the River running and birds chirping. Fish weren’t biting but we still had an amazing time! Highly recommend.

Mark and Julie’s house had everything one could ask for! Right on the water with an amazing view; within walkable distance to the best brewery and restaurant in town; and close enough the NEOC rafting outfitter to make an early check-in feel rather seamless. Our group traveled with 8 individuals and the house fit us all comfortably. Mark was also very responsive and expressed an authentic care for our trip. All in all, we would certainly recommend his house to anyone else interested in visiting the pastoral town of Millinocket!

Great location right on the lake. Close to hiking spots. Wished there was a closet or larger dresser to unpack our cloths. We did stay for eight nights, so we had more than normal. I asked Zack about camp fires and wood for this, he went out of his way to get us a couple bags of wood to burn within the fire pit. This was an awesome touch!!!!

Olivia was very responsive and always helpful. We used their home as a base to go to Acadia and Bar Harbor which is an easy drive. It was perfect for our father son retreat. The views from the home over the lake are beautiful and we even got to watch a sea plane land on the lake a couple of times. I would highly recommend! Thanks for the hospitality!
