Holiday rentals with lake access in Penobscot River

Great location. Woke up to the sounds of birds. very responsive. I would have given it a 5 star all the way, David was amazing and responded in a very timely manner. But, the turn over service could have been much better. The previous guest left a wine bottle in the automatic fridge ice dispenser and it was unfounded until my family found a large peice of glass in their drink, serious hazard to drink glass. Should have been spotted by the turn over service but, who would check the ice maker for a bottle a wine? I understand that. Very uncommon and unfortunate for us. David responded in a very fast manner and gave us options to accommodate the situation. I would have left a 5 star if this was the only thing but everything was so unorganized in the kitchen, they had everything but nothing made sense to why it was there. Sink didn't drain. There were also stains on the sheets and a pizza box left by the fridge that wasn't ours. Little things but the turn over service was a let down.

Sydney’s house was perfect for our family! It was clean, with beautiful views on a quiet, private street. The house had plenty of toiletries, we didn’t need to buy any household items while there. The hot tub was clean and perfect for a breezy afternoon looking out at the water. Sydney was a great host, providing tons of recommendations on places to dine and sites to see. Perfect location to visit both the Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor! Would love to stay here again.

Very pleasant place to stay and the owners were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Very responsive. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Highly recommend.

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.

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!

LOVED Tj's place! Wish I were staying there for vacation purposes, instead it was just while I was moving and movers had already taken all my furniture. But, right when you walk in, there's the water... The interior felt like home. Was able to walk down to a restaurant and there's a park across the street and a smaller one right next to the house. Didn't get to use the kayak since it was snowing... :-) Highly recommend Tj's home for whatever purpose. I will definitely try to get this home when I make it back up there!

Great long weekend - the perfect “staycation” for relaxation. The walk down to the water was beautiful, the views are truly wonderful, location was awesome. Easy ride to the state park. Always nice to find a home where we can bring the dog, and have it be clean and well cared for! Hot tub did not disappoint.

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.

The place was very beautiful. Its a perfect location for stay if you are planning to visit Acadia National Park. The place itself was very clean and well maintained. Kathleen was very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. They also have access to the shore at a 2 min walk which is a good spot to hangout during sunrise and sunset.

Very clean and easy to get in and out! Being from Sebec and knowing what those units used to look like, I was pleasantly surprised! Awesome place to stay.

Had a great weekend staying at Naomi’s Airbnb while visiting Acadia! The apartment has a very modern finish to it and has all the amenities you might need while spending a cozy weekend in nature. The drive to Acadia is close to an hour but the location of the property is quite peaceful and right next to a lake.

This is a great place to stay, even better than it appears in the photos. It was not just clean, it was immaculate - and for an extremely observant nurse - that was awesome. The unit had easy access with a slight gradient path and only two steps - which was very helpful for us as seniors. The firm bed was very comfortable. Barbara was responsive and thought of everything, including having delicious specialty coffee for us - Thanks. She even had a cooler in the closet for us to use when we went to Acadia National Park. Like I said, she truly thought of everything. If we return to this area of Maine, we would love to stay again. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved our week long stay! The cabin is awesome and location is perfect. We spent time at Bar Harbor and Acadia. The lake is beautiful and so peaceful. John and Maria were great.

Had a great time. The house was clean and orderly. We had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, they were only 30-40 minutes away. We also enjoyed the very short walk to the water front to enjoy the views and the cool breeze off the water we even saw a lobster boat one evening! Definitely would recommend and stay here again!

Robert’s place is amazing! If you’re looking for a place to feel at home, while away from home, then this is it! My brother & I are here for work & have stayed several different places so far we enjoyed staying with Robert so much, that we booked for another month.

What a beautiful, comfortable and welcoming stay!! "Pleasant" is a total understatement and we highly recommend staying at this lovely, beautifully updated, and spotlessly clean home. The hosts could not have been more welcoming, responsive, accommodating and hospitable. Monson, Maine is a gem too - we felt particularly grateful to be there over Memorial Day weekend to recognize that solemn and meaningful day. The General Store truly had everything - delicious deli food, fresh tasty coffee, local products (maple syrup & other tasty souvenirs), household supplies -- and the lake is stunning! Ten stars!

You can stop searching for a place to stay because this is THE ONE. As a frequent traveler used to very nice accommodations, I have high expectations and it's rare that a place exceeds them, but Bay Meadow Cottages did just that. The cottages are extremely clean and obviously well-cared-for. The host communication was above and beyond. The pie and the coffee were really good. It was quiet and peaceful (tiny bit of road noise but not distracting). I would absolutely stay again and recommend highly to my friends and family. Also... the sheets were amazing. I slept so well. Definitely enjoyed the paddleboards and the Adirondack chairs for some down time in between hikes. It was the perfect getaway.

My family of three had a great time at this camp. It’s a lovely remote getaway and nice spot for swimming, BBQing, camp fires and has a beautiful view of Borestone Mountain.

The cabin was breathtaking, with a history painted and photographed among her walls. Perfect amount of space to accommodate a family should you have one. The morning sunrise was spiritual, and humbling. Host was incredibly friendly and accommodating for our dog. Arjuna. Will absolutely be returning. Thank you for an amazing and beautiful experience.

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.

I had a wonderful stay here! The inside is clean and cozy! Plus we enjoyed being able to cook over the fire and hang out by the lake. The location is private and peaceful. 35 minutes to the entrance of Acadia but depending on what part of the park you are headed to it can be up to an hour drive. I would stay again!

If I could only use one word to describe our stay in this wonderful cottage it would be: magnificent! We came from NYC and needed a tranquil place to decompress which this cozy cottage was perfect for - the scenery and view over the lake is simply stunning and the cottage has all amenities needed to either enjoy an amazing stay inside (when the weather is not too great and rainy) or simply envelop yourself in nature. K was also an amazing hostess and super responsive to all my questions and a wonderful person to be in touch with! All I can say is book this place, it is worth every penny, you will not be let down!! Hopefully we can one day come back again, and I’ll definitely recommend this place to my family and friends if they ever need a place in Sebec. Thanks so much again to both K and her husband

Such an absolutely magical place to stay! My pup and I stayed for a month while I worked and played. Gorgeous views of the Beech Hill Pond and close enough to various towns for hiking, sightseeing and enjoying local food. Spent time on Deer Isle, MDI at Bar Harbour & Acadia, and even made the trek to Lubec. if you want to experience a wee bit of winter and early spring, mid to late March into April was the perfect time. We had a few inches of snow fall within the first few days of the trip. Don't hesitate to book this cottage!

I cannot begin to explain how incredible this cottage is! My only regret is not booking it longer! Beautiful, spotless and you cannot beat the view. Pictures are exact and don’t do this cottage justice. Beds were very comfy and I will be looking to return as soon as I can. Perfect space to celebrate a U Maine graduation.
