Holiday rentals with a kayak in Hancock County

Super nice, private place, pictures do it justice. We loved the open space and cleanliness. The hot tub was the ultimate great experience. Easy day trips into Acadia. Would highly recommend this place!

Tim has an incredible home and beautiful views. The waterfront property is so serene and the space had everything my group of friends needed. Tim was also very responsive and accommodating to us and we very much appreciated that. Wish we could have stayed longer, would recommend!

Seven stars out of five! We have stayed in numerous places in Maine over the years, and given a lot of five star reviews. This one surpasses them all, hence the off the charts grade. It is incredibly well provisioned, spotless, spacious, inviting, and has an enormous porch with a view so lovely it looks fake. You can't even hear your neighbors, let alone see them. We heard loons, crows, and one very belligerent owl, but not once did we hear our neighbors. The only way you will know the tenant is home, is that a car will park opposite on the side of the house from you. The fire pit makes it easy and convenient to host a fire, even if it is only for 45 minutes or so. Kayaks are provided along with life jackets. At night you can see millions of stars. Place is so peaceful and comfortable, we almost didn't make it into the park haha. We will definitely be back!

A great stay at this lovely, cozy home—yet again! Already looking forward to returning in July. You’ll find it all here: It’s quiet, with all the amenities you need (and nothing you don’t), the pretty water views, and a location that provides access to good restaurants and the beautiful Acadia National Park.

This welcoming home is spotless and cozy. Situated on the bank of a picturesque lake, we were greeted by the peaceful sounds of nature and lovely shades of fall colors. The thoughtful hosts had left tasty treats on the table for us, along with local suggestions. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were clean. It was an easy drive to Acadia and the coast as well as into the north Maine woods. If you are looking for a house that instantly feels like home, stay here. Jerry and Kristi, thank you for being great hosts. We had a wonderful stay!

Right from the beginning of the booking, the experience was exceptional. Communication was great, house was perfectly set-up, clean and peaceful! All of the amenities, furniture, and furnishings in the home were perfect for a lake house! Little details were thought of by the hosts —even a bouquet of flowers. Highly recommend this space for families who want a peaceful and spread out home for their family but also great spaces to bring everyone together. Truly an exceptional experience in all areas.

Beautiful and cozy place. Had a great stay. Since we visited during Fall season, the place was peaceful and full of Fall colors. Acadia national park is nearby and has some great places to visit during leaf peeping time.

This home could not have been more perfect. It did not feel like a rental - it felt like we were guests in someone’s beloved home. The views are amazing, the decor couldn’t be more cozy, yet impeccable, and the house was stocked well beyond what you’d normally find with rental. We were there 6 nights and did not want to leave. We enjoyed 5 of the nearby restaurants (including take out pizza from the bakery.) Planning ahead with reservations or getting on wait lists early helps during busy season to minimize wait times, but that’d be the case anywhere. We also stopped at a large grocery store in Ellsworth on the way in to make sure we had all our essentials. The hiking nearby is really hard to beat. We’ve stayed in Bar Harbor several times, and much prefer this location. We will definitely return. Thank you so much to the host/owners for allowing us the pleasure of spending time in your special home.

Camp Chickadee was a beautiful and peaceful retreat. Greatly enjoyed the scenery and wildlife of Molasses Pond. Instructions and information for the stay, check-in and check-out were very clear and Ron was proactive in reaching out prior to stay. Appreciated the local recommendations for the area, as well as the kayaks for exploring the pond. Was a great base for exploring Acadia National Park while having a scenic and private retreat to come back to at the end of the day. Looking forward to visiting Eastbrook again in the future!

Really enjoyed our stay here. The views were lovely, the lake was refreshing, the beds were comfortable, lots of kitchen stuff, and the showers were hot. The house mostly has what you need. It could use a few more dish towels and bath towels. The long drive to Acadia got tiresome.

Wonderful stay in an incredible location. Cute, clean, and cozy cottage with everything you could need to feel at home while tucked away in a magical spot.

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 could not overstate the beauty and peacefulness of this location. Good proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia but private with stunning views. The description and photos are accurate, we found the host responsive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

Robert was very attentive making sure everything was as expected, also checked in during my stay to see if I needed anything else.

One of the most beautiful and peaceful places we have stayed at. It was perfect for our honeymoon. The cabin was clean, quiet, and comfortable. You felt right at home and there were some personal touches with fresh flowers and a carved Jack-o-lantern . The cabin is located around 45 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Maureen was very responsive and helpful in her communication. We would definitely recommend this and definitely will be back!

Great location right on the lake! Great for a small group of family. 2 privated bedrooms and an open loft with 2 twin beds.

It was a great place to stay, we come during the winter and can only imagine how amazing it must be in the summer! Hope to be back.

Our stay at Patty’s place was great. The cabin is very cozy and extremely comfortable. The place has a great hot water heater which allowed our group to shower after visiting the park while others made dinner. It’s definitely a bit of a drive from Acadia, but Patty definitely makes this clear in the description. Overall, a fantastic stay. Could not recommend this place enough.

A wonderfully charming spot to stay while exploring Acadia national Park and the surrounding areas. Rita was a delight, with fantastic instructions on how to find the place, recommendations for current happenings around town, and she was very responsive for any and all questions I may have had. The pictures don’t do this property justice, I highly recommend!

Jennifer is a great responsive host, and our stay exceeded all expectations. The location was secluded and gorgeous with wonderful water views, hiking nearby, and the camp had everything we needed. Highly recommend Jennifer’s spot

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.

Steven’s cabin and land were the perfect spot for camping. The place was clean and beautiful with so much space on their property. The space was perfect for two people and a dog, although if you had two more people it would be fine too. They have everything you need to cook, clean, shower, make fires, kayak, and grill. He provided clear instructions on how to get there and it was very easy to find with those. If I ever were to go back to Acadia National Park, I would definitely look to book here again - it was a great peaceful stay!

Our stay was very enjoyable and peaceful. Zack and Breezy were very friendly and helpful and very accommodating for our week long stay. We will definitely be back!!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The location was fantastic, the cleanliness was impeccable, and the comfort of the house exceeded my expectations. The view was stunning, and I loved how the house was fully equipped with everything I needed. It truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again in the future. Thank you so much Lindsay!
