Family-friendly holiday rentals in Penobscot River

A beautiful rustic cabin in an amazing spot. Lori is a great host and is always near in her farmhouse to communicate and get you what you need. Appleton is not far from Camden / Rockland but has that rustic getaway feel. The option of adding a wonderful soak in the hot tub, wood fired sauna, massage and breakfast are available as well. I’ll be back next year! Thank you for everything, Lori!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay at Latham blueberry farm. Doug and Brenda were incredibly helpful and friendly- they introduced us to the house and farm as soon as we checked in and were always available if needed. The beds were comfy, the kitchenette stocked, and the grounds were gorgeous. Their beautiful 1826 farm house was an authentic experience of staying on a farm- our kids loved feeding the animals (especially Ernie the pig and Moses the horse); picking fresh blueberries; and swimming and paddleboating in the private pond. Our hosts had great recommendations for local outings, and we loved chatting with them and playing with their puppy Jackie. Our family made lifetime memories.

We loved our time at Dwayne and Patti’s place! It definitely felt like a home rather than a hotel, which is exactly what we want when we book an Airbnb over a hotel. The musical instruments and hot tub were a hit with our group :) The location is amazing, close to both Bar Harbor (Acadia) and Bangor. We got to go to a concert and hiking during our stay, and we loved returning to our home base. I can’t want to be back!!

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

This place is so lovely and peaceful. We loved the water view from the loft and roaming the beach. It is a great spot.

What an awesome place to stay! Lori was incredibly gracious and accommodating with out late arrival. The cabin towards the back of the property was so cozy. Fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

Beautiful home with a great view, deer and turkeys in the front yard. Very quiet and peaceful. The home is well equipped and spacious.

We had an amazing time at Kim's place. They were very responsive to some questions we had about getting into the place given it was snowing. The house was cozy and amazing, and had spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

We come every year. It’s a great quiet place.

We loved our stay. We visited mostly for our trip to Acadia, so we did a lot of back and forth driving, but our stay at Treetop was peaceful and perfect for our needs. We love the quiet and the beautiful view. The trail connected to the property was a huge bonus—our pup loved it! Suzanne was very helpful, detailed, and responsive. We appreciated her guidance!

Great stay for our family of 5 adults and 3 toddlers! Lots to do and great proximity to Acadia/Bar Harbor. House was well supplied with clear instructions. Brady also connected with us before the stay and kept in touch for anything that came up as a concern. Thank you!

We liked the privacy and seclusion of the house, as well as, having good wifi and space for our dog. The windows around the house let in so much light and we could see wild turkeys in the field one night. The house is close enough to what Acadia, Ellsworth, and Bar Harbor has to offer, but is away from the congestion. Having a washer/ dryer is a plus. We had a great stay of 5 days.

Thank you! We had a wonderful stay, and the views were beautiful!

This was a perfect location for hiking Acadia! The cabin had everything we needed and felt very private and comfortable. We would definitely book again if we find ourselves back in the area.

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!

A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Beth was wonderful to deal with and very communicative. She kept in touch with us prior to our trip, and she patiently answered any questions we had during the trip. The views from the patio and living room are fantastic, and the area is very quiet. Both the Park and Bar Harbor are a short drive a way. This is a great place to stay on a trip to Bar Harbor.

Wow. This is a beautiful peaceful place to stay when visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor. Just 5-10 minutes from the park and plenty of restaurants and shopping. We loved the blueberry pie and ice cream you could get at any time day or night. The hosts are so helpful and friendly The bed is super comfy great water pressure in the shower and the cottage is creatively stocked and organized for a small space. It was perfect!

We loved staying at the Little Lodge! Patty was very helpful throughout our stay and the provided maps and recommendations were really nice for navigating the area. The cabin was also so cute and cozily decorated throughout! We went to Acadia national park and it was definitely worth the slightly longer drive. Overall this was a great experience for our group and we would definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting Downeast Maine!!

Our stay at the Captain Bennis House was fantastic. This house is conveniently located between Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor which was ideal for our trip. Dave and Carol were so friendly and gracious. The Captain Bennis House is chocked full of charm and is absolutely beautiful and the view to Frenchman's Bay was stunning. We would certainly stay here again and would also recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Carol and Andy

Our stay was very nice, comfortable and the cottage well supplied. The cottage was very cozy with plenty of room. We liked how quiet the place is and could sit outside and enjoy the nice day. Close to town and restaurants and all that Acadia has to offer. We hope to be back again. Thanks Robin & Dirk.

The pictures don’t do it justice! This cabin has it all, and Bethany was a great host. I would recommend this place to anyone, and I would stay here again.

This is a great find! Very good value for Bar Harbor and super close to Acadia Park entrance and town of Bar Harbor. Plenty of room for us with all amenities you would need. Very, very clean and private. Friendly hosts and a really nice environment around the house with trees, flowers, and birds as well as the chickens and ducks which are fun to watch. Can't recommend this enough. We hope to be back.

The place is, as advertised, the cutest. It's equipped as well, having every tool or utensil you might need to enjoy your seafood. This was our first trip Downeast and we found it to be as charming and naturally beautiful as we hoped it would be. The cherry on top was our hosts. Bonnie and Chubba are especially friendly and are true stewards of this grand corner of America.

Great stay! Loved the cabin! Loved the record player and listening to some oldies. Would definitely stay here again!
