Holiday rentals with a kayak in Hancock County

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.

Our recent stay at Gran Den was fantastic! Brady was super helpful, and communication was quick and clear. The cabin had all the amenities we could ask for and more. It's rustic and full of character yet incredibly comfortable and clean. The spacious layout made it very user-friendly. (The pictures are great but it’s eve better in-person.) The location in Surry is ideal, with Bucksport to the west and Ellsworth to the east, making it a perfect spot to explore the area. Highly recommend this for your next trip.

Water's Edge was the perfect cozy reset from the hustle & bustle of NYC. Calmingly quiet with the most awe inspiring views. Peaceful, clean and convenient! We felt right at home and look forward to returning in the future.

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.

My group and I had the most wonderful trip to Maine due to such a fabulous air b and b experience! Sean and Carra were so thoughtful in every element, from the decor and rooms to leaving us a pie and flowers. They clearly take great pride in their home and it showed in all elements. A group of 8 of us fit so comfortably in their home. I hope we get the chance to go back because it was such a great experience. Thanks again!!!!

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!

LOVED this little cottage steps from the lake! Robert was super responsive and had the place all lit up and warmed up for us when we arrived. He has thought of everything that a vistor might need (and then some). We were there to visit the university and it was a dreary rainy weekend, but the lake was still beautiful. Despite the weather, we were able to get a campfire going on our first night. Thank you Robert for the dry wood, the pre-set starter fire pit and the decks of cards! The setting and house were charming, and the proximity to the university and Bar Harbor served us well.

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.

Walking and sun rises were wonderful. The cabin was clean and welcoming! Very quiet and peaceful. The only detail that would enhance the stay and departure is not having your guest do house keeping ( putting dishes away, stripping beds and starting laundry) though house keeping charges were included.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The lake and surrounding forest were beautiful, and the hot tub was perfect for the chilly spring weather. The location is great, 20 minutes to Ellsworth and 45 to Acadia or Blue Hill. Shelby was a great and communicative host!

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.

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

A great private place to stay when visiting Acadia! Only about 40 minutes away from Bar Harbor.

The cabin was very nice. It has a lot of games for entertainment and has great views of the lake. There is only one heater for the entire cabin and the place was cold when we arrived. However, it warmed up very quickly. Location is amazing: 50min away from Acadia NP. The only problem that we found is that there was no body wash available. I am sure Dan would have brought some if we had asked, since he provided a hair dryer when requested. Our stay was very positive, we would come again! P.D.: the cabin does not have a microwave, but has all the other things you might need for cooking, even grilling.

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.

We enjoyed fishing and kayaking on the lake on property! Very nice and relaxing place!

Beautiful and peaceful setting. We took advantage and had lobster on the picnic table overlooking the beautiful cove. Enjoyed swimming and watching sunsets. Ended up having a great dinner at Blaze. Host was so responsive with any questions we had. Would definitely stay again.
