Guest house holiday rentals in Penobscot River

This place is such a gem, there’s a creek and the bay right next door as well as a well used hiking trail! Lucie was very kind and very helpful during our stay when a storm caused the power to go out. The home is cute and one of a kind, but as she says it is country living. We had quite a few creepy crawlers (big ones) and a few other funny visitors but all in all we loved our stay and Lucies place just feels so special

I absolutely loved this place! Very easy to find, great location on the lake and very peaceful! Leon has boats, kayaks and canoes to rent, firewood to purchase on site and was so helpful with everything. The home has everything I needed for my week stay, and was grateful to be able to bring my dog. I will definitely be returning to this little piece of heaven!!

We had a wonderful stay and could not have been happier with the accommodations. We appreciated the flexibility with letting us have day time visitors. Thank you!!!

My daughters and I traveled to the area for my son's wedding in Acadia NP. The Shackteau is lovely, clean and just as described. I would book again.

Jon was very proactive and kind! Gave us lots of good recommendations and told us the story of his cabin. The cabin was very clean and cozy, we had great mornings having coffee outside. Highly recommend!

What an awesome place to stay! Lori was incredibly gracious and accommodating with out late arrival. The cabin towards the back of the property was so cozy. Fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

Great quiet location. We enjoyed the plentiful wildlife such as eagles, hawks, loons, ducks, beaver, many other small birds. We fished off the dock and from kayaks. Convenient location to nearby grocery and retail shopping. We frequently relaxed by the water and firepit for sunsets. Hosts were very quick to respond to all communication. Would definitely stay again.

Karen was terrific, always responding quickly to our questions. The setting and house were beautiful with all the comforts of home. The house was conveniently located for a variety of destinations in DownEast Maine.

Had a great stay. Amenities were fantastic and felt like we had plenty of privacy. Good location to get to Bangor and Bar Harbor easily. Would gladly stay again.

A comfy and cozy place, 2 blocks to downtown Belfast. Very nice amenities.

Hands down one of the best places I have ever been. Linda and Jay were so warm and welcoming. Homemade cookies, breakfast items, tea, coffee and snacks. Everything we could ever need. The home is beautifully decorated and immaculate! Linda and Jay were very proactive and thoughtful! They even left information books about the area, gave us some recommendations and answered all our questions. I wish we could have stayed longer! It was truly magical!

We highly recommend this place! Rob and Cassie were great, very responsive. The home was more beautiful in person than in the pictures and the view was wonderful!

This is a little slice of paradise. I came here to do nothing, essentially--read & swim for a few days in beautiful, quiet surroundings. Diane was immediately welcoming with a warm greeting and quick tour. You have privacy here, but if you need anything, she is right next door. I couldn't recommend staying here more highly! Thanks, Diane! Andrew

A perfect spot in every way!! We had the most peaceful and cozy getaway. Everything was clean, comfortable, and renovated (beautiful bathroom). We felt spoiled by the view right outside of the spot as well as the proximity to Acadia! What a wonderful space!!

This was an amazing place to stay while we visited Acadia National park!! The space was cozy and relaxing after hiking all day. The grill on the patio was awesome!! The outhouse and outdoor shower is as described and very comfortable, clean, and easy to use. Pamela and Marc set everything up perfectly and were very responsive throughout our stay when we had questions. We really enjoyed our stay here, would absolutely stay here again!

This Airbnb was amazing in every way! We especially enjoyed the views of the mountains, the decor, how clean it was, the trees decorated with lights outside, and all the personal touches. It was inviting, comfortable, and had everything we could think of including sleds! (There was a privacy screen to put between the beds which was an added bonus). The Moody Mt. Cottage was the perfect location for a cozy winter getaway to hike and relax. We highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed. Cait was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was special. We are so grateful!

Extremely nice BnB for staying in the area with a relatively cheap budget for lodging. Only an hour and a half away from Bar Harbor/Acadia, 30 minutes from Camden, and multiple other cuter small towns around the area with plenty to do, hike, bike, etc. I loved that they gave recommendations of their own favorite places around the area! Very detailed check-in, check-out, and directions which were greatly appreciated! Overall, our stay here was a 10/10 (except when we accidentally broke something - but they were super understanding❤️) and we would love to stay here again!

Clicking my heels trying to go back. I had a wonderful, relaxing getaway at The Appleton Retreat. Braeburn was cozy, clean, and had beautiful outdoor surroundings, including quick access to the pond trail. Super comfy bed and nap daybed. The hot tub was private and lovely and Peter set up a wonderful evening sauna session for me. Hosts were responsive while respecting my alone time, and the homemade pumpkin muffins were icing on the cake.

After a verrrry long four days on amtrak, being able to unwind in the tub was an amazing reward for sticking it out in a coach seat. Everything about this place was intentional and functional. Loved the suncatcher window in the bathroom and all of the other windows. Location is great and private, not very far from other pretty coastal towns and Acadia Ntl Park. I kept wanting to add on more days to my stay - there’s just so much to enjoy and not enough time! Already planning for a trip back here :)

Bruce and Liane have a lovely peaceful cottage. It’s private from the road but close enough to walk to town. Really appreciated the washer/dryer and dish washer. This was the perfect spot for our nearly two weeks in Belfast. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great few days at the cottage! My husband and I were there for our mini-moon and loved how close it was to Bar Harbor and all the amazing hikes Acadia has to offer. Peggy left some great food recommendations—we went to Sweet Pea Cafe (just down the road) three nights in a row. They are now currently closed for the season but visiting when they are open again is a must!

We enjoyed staying in this airbnb. Although it was tiny, the space was well thought out and I liked the unique and careful touches to make the space feel warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend staying here!

Aimee and David's place is new and beautifully done. We enjoyed meeting them both. Loved the place: The view, ease of access (once you find it the first time!), cleanliness, and the general layout. The kitchen has everything you need and there's plenty of storage available in the rooms and bathrooms. The bedrooms and bathrooms are identical so there was no discussion as to who gets the better view, etc.! Everything from the layout to the conveniences is well thought out. I loved having my morning coffee on the deck overlooking the Taunton bay. Thank you Aimee and David. I hope to go there again.
