Cottage holiday rentals in Mount Desert Island

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.

This house was very convenient - the owners seem to have thought of everything! I enjoyed the clear labels all around the house so we weren’t guessing about light switches; the robes & slippers provided for the hot tub; and the thoughtful extras like mouth wash, extra toothbrushes, plastic wrap, coffee, and a lot of other things that are handy to have but you might not bring along. Even headlamps with a label, “to look for crabs on the beach at night!” The guest house is very close to the main house but we didn’t run into anyone. The hot tub was great, and unfortunately we didn’t get to explore the waterfront on our overnight but the location was easy to get to. We went to Stonecutters for breakfast and got to see some local towns on the way. A fun place to visit.

place was perfect size for 2 people. the communal kitchen was super useful for packing lunches for our hikes. Easy drive to bar harbor and acadia.

This place is a gem! The pictures don't do it justice. Perfect getaway for a couple, the cedar hot tub is so nice and has views of the ocean! Great hiking nearby and fun food/drinks in downtown Camden (the Vintage Room has a great happy hour).

We enjoyed our weekend away at Mayya’s guest house! It was the perfect size for the two of us and we felt there were more than enough amenities to ensure our stay was cozy and peaceful! The add on of the hot tub was much needed and appreciated as well as it was getting chillier at night and it was the perfect addition! I would have liked to take advantage of the walking trail but the weather was rainy so we didn’t get to. We would definitely stay here again for a couple days and thank you Mayya for being a great host!

We had an amazing time at your cabin. Thank you so much for opening it up to guests. Loved waking up to the sunrises.

This was our second time staying here, my family and I love the tranquility of this little piece of heaven. Christopher’s home was beautiful, clean and well maintained.

Cozy cabin with nice amenities. The space was small but perfect for two people looking for a place to sleep after a day of hiking. Comfy bed and clean space too. We loved the common spaces in the main home as well!

Great location. the hosts were communicative. Thanks for letting us stay at your place. They also have a beach right in their backyard.

Fantastic spot. The cabin is so well equipped and squeaky clean. Maggie has thought of everything! Walkable to town in minutes and private. There are even glimpses of the sparkling ocean. 5 stars!

This cottage is delightfully cozy in the winter and very charmingly decorated. It’s not just run of the mill decor. The lighting setup is especially great and was put together very thoughtfully. I really enjoyed being IN the spaces that have been created in the cottage - there are several different seating areas for reading a book or sharing a meal or hanging out. The location of the cottage is spectacular with beautiful views from the windows as well as the private garden, private porch overlooking the bay, and more. Fabiola leaves many helpful instructions (often amusing!) and also gives lots of recommendations about the area. In addition to that she is super welcoming, always available, and clearly wants her guests to enjoy themselves. She also lets the guests have privacy. I’m sure the cottage and garden are even better in summer simply because one can spend more time outdoors, but winter has its own beauty in Maine and the cottage is a wonderful place to experience it from.

This was a lovely stay with easy and convenient access to all of the main island's adventures. We had an unpredictable schedule and Jay and Lisa were very helpful and facilitated self checkin and checkout so we could hike and not worry about arriving/leaving at a precise time.

We love this little spot! It’s beautiful and private.

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!

We loved our experience at our cozy, stand alone cabin. The room is spacious and has everything you need. We would stay again for sure!

Cute little cabin in the woods!! Super clean, check in was very easy. Nichole was very easy to communicate with. The cabin was perfect for a quick weekend. We would definitely stay again!

Host was very friendly and informative but allowed us privacy as well. The cabin was charming, very clean and had more than what we needed for our stay. It was quiet and serene with beautiful views but close to shopping and dining establishments. We would highly recommend staying in this rental... it has it all!

Jon’s place is beautiful and conveniently located. Would come back again!

Basha’s cottage was sweet and inviting, upon entry we were greeted with lovely flowers and a note welcoming us. The view out to the ocean was enchanting and the cottage was very peaceful. All of Basha’s restaurant recommendations were on point! We would definitely come back, October was surprisingly warmer than expected and we only needed sweaters. The grocery store that Basha recommended in Blue Hill was perfect, there were farm fresh yogurts in Ball jars that I’ll never forget, how I wish we had yogurt like that back home in NY, also a homemade chicken pot pie and so many other delicious food items, fresh fruit etc. If you’re a shell fish lover as we are every restaurant has the very best! Thank you Basha for the lovely stay at your sweet cottage! Karen

We had a wonderful time at Darthia Farm! We enjoyed sunrise down by the water and loved the short, but beautiful trail that led us right down to the water. We thoroughly enjoyed visits from the farm dogs and cat! The simple amenities really helped us to slow down and be intentional, even the way we washed the dishes. It was all very peaceful and what we needed. Even in the brisk weather of October, we enjoyed the outdoor shower! We cooked a delicious dinner one evening with yummy pesto and other goodies from the farm store (goat milk gelato was 🔥). Shepsi recommended some local hikes and on our last day ,we ventured over to Petit Manan wildlife refuge and hiked the Hollingsworth trail... absolutely stunning, and easy trail. Our stay here away from the busy tourist places of Maine was perfect!

Our family had a lovely stay at the Lupine Cottage. Such a peaceful spot. We enjoyed getting out on the water in the kayaks and sitting out in the Adirondack chairs listening to the loons and barred owls call. Nice central location for exploring Acadia and the mid coast. Thanks Kim & Stacy for the precious memories!

Believe the reviews! If you get a chance to rent here in the fall (or any time) you won’t regret it. I wish I could’ve stayed and read all of the cool books. Perfect space to gather but also have your own little corner if needed. Plus - the views are unlike any I’ve experienced at an AirBNB. Truly beautiful at any time of day. Plus our dog loved running around in the fenced in yard. We can’t wait to go back!

This cabin is exactly what we were looking for. It’s a decent sized space with a nicely equipped kitchen, full bath and a king-sized bed (Along with a separate bedroom that we never used). The couch/futon is also quite comfy. The cabin has everything you need and possibly a little more. The location is fantastic as you’re just 10 minutes to downtown Ellsworth, which is full of nice shops and plenty of places to eat. It’s a little less than an hour to Bar Harbor, which is also very convenient. Don’t ignore the nearby rocky beach that is a short walk away and beautiful, especially in the evening. We had quite a haul of seaglass too! This is a great place with great hosts that were responsive and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

The location of this cozy, rustic cabin allowed us to view the ocean from every window. Absolutely stunning views!! The cabin had all the amenities and features we needed for a perfect weekend family get together. Make sure to check out Fine Sand Trail and Beach. Kyle was extremely easy to reach when we had any questions.
