House holiday rentals in Penobscot

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

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.

What a wonderful experience! Rebecca was an absolutely outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. My family and I had such a peaceful stay. The home and location were incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house and property were absolutely beautiful, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the amazing balconies with the breathtaking views. There is so much space, and every room in the house is well thought out, functional, and cozy. The pool is even better than we hoped, so big and clean and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time swimming and relaxing by the pool. We also enjoyed playing pool and having so many rooms to gather in with the comfort of plenty of new comfy furniture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind for a vacation away from all the noise and chaos of daily life. Every single area was as described in the listing and better. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

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

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.

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!

My friend & I stayed 3 days. We planned to do some exploring & hiking & antiquing so it was right up our alley. The location is so quiet, peaceful & picturesque. It’s homey & tastefully decorated! And I loved the extra little touches, for example the bathroom toilet paper flower! So cute!! You can tell she takes pride in her home and in her guests comfort and that it is her passion! Also Bob’s place is bigger than it looks in the pictures. Susan is very thoughtful and easy to communicate with. She gave me some dining recommendations and also asked if we were able to see the northern lights. Who does that?! Susan does!! Thanks for an awesome stay!! Will be back for sure!!

The Barn Owl is a truly lovely and comfortable renovated carriage house with rustic charm and contemporary amenities—an architectural delight. The home’s quiet and secluded wooded setting is just minutes away from numerous restaurants, shops and art galleries that Blue Hill is known for. Our one week stay was perfect in every way and Dennis and Kay were definitely the Superhosts that made it happen! Sheila and Art Houston, Texas

One of the cleanest airbnbs I have stayed at!! Comfortable beds and lots of space!! The kitchen had everything we could need to cook for 2 days! Hui went out of her way to make us comfortable.

We loved our three nights at Seabank. The house was comfortable and immaculate, the kitchen well equipped, and the location—overlooking tidal Goose Bay with views toward Mount Desert Island—could not have been more tranquil (plus an easy 20-minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor). Robard was a terrific host, quick to answer our questions, and even lending a hand to ensure that we were able to check in early. We lucked into gorgeous weather and spent lots of time outdoors, reading on the deck, kayaking in the bay at high tide, and relaxing around the fire pit.

Sweet cottage by the river that was a quiet weekend getaway. Our hosts had everything we needed: comfortable beds, plenty of linens, a clean cottage, and all the basic kitchen supplies to use. We appreciate all their recommendations for local hikes and restaurants. Our time in Bucksport Maine was a great and we will visit again.

This is a lovely place to stay: warm, comfortable, clean. Highly recommend staying here.

Great vacation rental. It was our second visit here. Great location. Easy and short drive to Acadia Natl Park and to Bar Harbor. Host's are great. Rental has everything you need and want. Views are stunning. Absolutely recommend. Will stay here again.

My girlfriend and I stayed at this Air BnB while exploring Acadia National Park. The private parking was great due to me having a longer truck. We loved the view from the bed room window, and the living room sliding door. It was also great to have local shops and restaurants acouple minutes down the road. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maine!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb! It is in a nice spot and is very quiet. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and baking (perfect for a longer stay). The driveway was always plowed quickly after snowfall which was very helpful. It’s a pretty drive to Acadia and close to Ellsworth. This is a great place to stay!

This place surpassed our expectations. Waking up every morning to enjoy a coffee on the dock was so peaceful. Everything was very clean and the living room was such a comfy atmosphere. Our German shepherd loved the place too! Thank you so much Steve for making your place dog friendly! It felt like we were coming "home" after every long hiking day at Acadia. We'll definitely return!

We had a great stay it was warm cozy and everything we needed.

Nikki‘s place is amazing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place local to Bucksport or surrounding areas. The house is so well equipped, like walking into my own home. The knives are sharp and the pans are top-notch; house honestly has everything you can imagine from art supplies and coloring books to a pile of board games. The beds are memory foam and some are more firm than others meeting a variety of preferences. Lots of towels and household supplies are provided! Spices, oils, vinegars, and some condiments made it easy to pick up a load of groceries and be good to go for our week long stay. Nikki had bug spray, sunblock, grocery bags… honestly, she has everything! She was also incredibly responsive to every message I sent and helped troubleshoot a minor wifi outage super quick. Everyone we had over complimented how cute the decor was and was so impressed with the house overall. I feel like this place is exactly what Airbnb started as! No wonder why reviews are 5*!

The house was cozy and comfortable with all amenities we could need. The kitchen was huge and had a ton of pots and pans and every implement and accessory we could possibly want. We loved the living room, which was filled with books and music, and an invitation from RIch to listen to/read whatever we liked. We also loved the quiet surroundings. It was lovely and peaceful. I would definitely recommend the property and the owner.

Beautiful, private, cabin in the woods. Thomas was a great host- friendly, responsive, and let us check in early which was helpful. This is a great spot for those traveling with dogs, they’ll have lots to sniff and explore. Highly recommend anyone reading this to go ahead and book! We will definitely be coming back again.

We had an amazing time here! Beth’s place was the perfect spot to head back to and relax after spending our days hiking at Acadia. Such a great location - on Patten pond and right outside of Ellsworth which is the cutest little town! Beth was a very responsive host and her place is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great place to stay. Very cozy, unique and comfortable. My kids loved the upper bedroom as well as the entire space. The backyard is big and private, was wonderful for my dogs. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend this rental.
