Family-friendly holiday rentals in Waterville

Nicole’s home is a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful retreat. The home itself was clean, extremely comfortable, and a perfect place to relax with the family. Our toddler named it “the pretty house” and we couldn’t agree more! Nicole was an awesome host - responsive and helpful when we requested to open the hot tub early. The area around the house is private and quiet, perfect for people seeking solitude. We will definitely be going back if the opportunity come again!

Lori’s is exactly what we need while visiting family over a holiday. She is very gracious to host us over Thanksgiving as the last occupants of the year. Even during a snow storm, her place is cosy and beautiful. This is our second year coming, and we love it every time. We would recommend it for those looking for a charming getaway from busy life. Thanks 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 really enjoyed our stay at Woolwich. There is a peaceful nature vibe to the house and a beautiful view and location. The Bald Eagles live in a tree right on the edge of the backyard and were visible numerous times during our stay. The location to various towns and locations in Maine is convenient.

We had the most amazing stay at Madawaska! Amazing views from the bedroom and hot tub in a beautiful, peaceful, and private location overlooking the water. And such a wonderful design of the cabin. We will definitely be back!

Just returned from the most fantastic 2 weeks exploring the US which included a weeks stay at Kiwi Lodge. Where to start? This was exactly as described and the perfect base for exploring Maine. The property was spotless and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. 3 beautiful bedrooms, 2 great sized bathrooms, wonderful living area and kitchen and fantastic games room. Hot tub was brilliant. The location on the lake is just perfect, we had the lake to ourselves and took the canoe out. Nearest town of Farmington has all the shops and cafes you’d need. The communication from Kay was great from the day we booked, and recommendations we took her up on were all absolutely spot on. Thank you Kay and thank you Kiwi Lodge for a holiday to remember!

Great place. The bed was really comfortable. Hot tub was nice and private and relaxing.

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.

We had the absolute best time at MJ’s place, highly recommend !! The house is spatious yet very cozy and quiet, with a nice back porch to sit and enjoy the surrounding woods! Home is also very close to town and to Poryland/coastline, and the cleanest lake to swim in that we’ve ever been to! MJ was very helpful and quick to respond. Stay here! We hope to return sometime soon!!

My boyfriend and I had a great stay with our dog. It is a short walk to the shops. It was great having access to a backyard area where I could take my dog out to use the bathroom. The place was cozy with great natural lighting and Jennifer was super approachable and responded promptly to any questions. We forgot a tool for cooking so we reached out to her and she brought it over to us. SO kind!! Highly recommend a stay at Freeport at Jennifers place.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. We booked over Christmas. Jacki reached out to me just after I booked to see if my family celebrated Christmas and if so, would we like some decorations put up. I replied yes. When we arrived there was a decorated tree and some other decorations throughout. It was really nice. It is wonderful that they are dog friendly, they even have dog dishes there. Our Great Dane was with us. My whole family agreed that if the opportunity presents itself, we would definitely go back.

Kent has created an incredible slice of island paradise here. He is generous with his time and knowledge. He made us feel very welcome and met us with exactly what we needed for our weekend. We stayed at the NaughtyDog island and chose to canoe to and from. It was a peaceful and unique adventure that I’d recommend to anyone.

Cozy and comfortable place to stay while exploring the area. Close to most anything you’d want to do in Southern Maine.

I loved this place! Enjoying coffee and meals outside on the deck overlooking the lake and beautiful surroundings of nature. I felt safe there and was a charming neighborhood. I loved that there were boats to use and a dock to watch sunset an autumn harvest moon over lake! Jess was the perfect host and made sure everything was great when I arrived. She was very helpful when I had any questions and I am looking so forward to going back there again! Thank you Jess for sharing this wonderful place!!!

We have rented this adorable log cabin many times and look forward to our next visit! The host is very responsive and friendly and we can not recommend this lovely stay enough.

Beth’s place was the best weekend getaway from the city for my friends and I. The place was great and perfect for what we were looking for. I would highly recommend. Beth was a great host!

Great 2-level apartment with terrific deck and beautiful view overlooking the river. Quiet and pretty. Owners were very responsive and the kitchen is very well stocked. Nice rustic touches and great running/walking trail along the river, just down the road. WiFi works well. Recommend upgrading the beds as they are small and not very comfortable. Otherwise a great property!

Great house and good location, it was warm during our stay. Enough space for our company. Not far away from the city. Overall it was nice staying there.

Highly recommend!!!!! Beautiful Inn, great amenities, peaceful, quiet location but close to the shops. Pool was great for kids. Breakfast was amazing!!

A few times while wandering around midcoast Maine in late March, we were asked if this is when we usually came to vacation here. Yes, we are educators from the Southwest, and this was our spring break, so this is when we came to visit, but honestly, it is so peaceful this time of year. Especially Boothbay Harbor, and what we imagined while walking around the very quiet town would be a very different place in July! Our experience at Abby’s space was absolutely wonderful and serene in the spring. The thoughtful touches (thank you for the bottle of Maine wine and jar of blueberry jelly!) made it even more special. Thank you, we hope to be back one day.

We loved the old building with so much charm and character. The place was clean and well furnished. The surrounding is beautiful and location is convenient. Plenty of beds, but remember, they are all narrow twins. No queen bed in any room. More of a dorm set up in each room. Kitchen has enough utensils, plates and silverware for 20. But carry your own spices and condiments- including oil, salt and sugar. This house is part of Poland Spring Inns and Resorts.

Perfect little spot on Frye Island! Great location, walking distance to our favorite beach on island as well as the general store. House was clean, comfortable, just as described. We enjoyed our stay!

Great spot, would rent again!
