Holiday rentals with a kayak in Penobscot River

We walked in and the Christmas tree lights were on and Christmas music was playing. It was lovely. It's a beautiful home and very cozy. Having a bedroom and full bath downstairs makes a difference for many of us (young and older) who may have trouble navigating the stairs to the second floor. This location is nice and quiet yet close to all the essentials. I spoke with Dottie before our stay and she was very nice, helpful, and informative. Thank you again Dottie! We look forward to staying again in the summer. Highly recommended!! Thank you Dave and Dottie!

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 must be one of the best air bnb’s that we stayed at. Lovely home , beautiful surroundings,close to Acadia national park and bar harbor. We would definitely be back next year and would recommend this to our family and friends.

Nice lake front property. We would stay here again.

LOVED Tj's place! Wish I were staying there for vacation purposes, instead it was just while I was moving and movers had already taken all my furniture. But, right when you walk in, there's the water... The interior felt like home. Was able to walk down to a restaurant and there's a park across the street and a smaller one right next to the house. Didn't get to use the kayak since it was snowing... :-) Highly recommend Tj's home for whatever purpose. I will definitely try to get this home when I make it back up there!

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.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the location. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We never wanted to leave. It had everything we needed and was perfect for our family of 5.

Our group of friends and family really enjoyed staying at this peaceful winter getaway house! We are already talking about coming back up in the summertime. The toys and games made my kids so happy and kept them well-entertained. Perfect amount of space for our big group! Lori was flexible and responsive, a wonderful host! Thank you again 🛷

We only stayed a few days but it was a great few days! The house is cute and cozy with beautiful views of the lake. If we didn’t come on such a rainy week we would’ve grilled outside and had a few bonfires! The best part of the house is the spa tub! The host is quick to respond with any concerns and they make you feel welcomed. We would definitely come back!

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.

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!

Great person, she really went over and above what she would have been expected. The dock with boats were great, my boys love the lake. The place was clean and very well decorated. Lots of extra appliances. Washer and dryer is very nice when you are on a lake. Nothing to complain about. If you stay here and especially if you have kids you will be very happy.

This place was amazing!!! The sunrise and sunset were breathtaking. The house was just perfect we had everything we needed and more. The beds were so comfortable my husband said he had no more back pain. Everything was easy to get to. To finish the lake was just so beautiful I am looking forward to stay again sometime. 10/10 best Airbnb stay every.

This was our second stay at Brian's place, and it was just as beautiful and peaceful as we remembered. The serene atmosphere and stunning views made it the perfect getaway. Brian was a fantastic host, and we truly felt at home. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at the lake house for a month and had an absolutely wonderful time! The host was very friendly and helpful. We especially loved the log furniture—it added such a cozy touch. The house was well-stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Truly a home away from home. Thank you!

I loved the place, very clean everything and very welcome I loved the view in summer to be very beautiful I hope one day to return I loved it, she is a very kind person and was attentive to everything I loved everything

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!

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!!!

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

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.

I've stayed in a lot of AirBnBs over the years, and I have my favorites, but I can confidently say that David's cabin has skyrocketed up to the top two in my list after just one stay! The cabin is easy to find, close enough to town to pick up good groceries or access shopping/restaurants, yet private enough to feel like you're getting away. David is super responsive and provided lots of helpful info at checkin and in the guide binder. The cabin and property are GORGEOUS! Beautiful waterfront views and access, super peaceful and relaxing. The cabin is well supplied with everything you could need: cooking supplies, games, karaoke, TV, books, zero gravity chairs, the works! Very thoughtfully appointed and well maintained. Cabin was also spotless and very easy to settle into, and easy to keep clean myself throughout my stay (something that is very important to me). Truly, this property is a gem -- I will definitely book again!

Lovely location, and cozy little cabin, close to Damariscotta. My boyfriend and I took a weekend away and I told him I just wanted to be in the middle of the woods for a night. Enjoyed the hammock chairs and home cooked breakfast on the porch, despite the rain. Only regret was not meeting Sherri and/or Joel since I opted for self-check-in. Hope to return!

Comfy little cabin in the woods! We enjoyed having a fire in the fire place as it got pretty chilly at night. Relaxed in the screen room and played games one afternoon. The bed was comfortable and the view waking up in the morning was wonderful! Loved the LED mirror! Close to Belfast…we went to the indoor farmers market there on Saturday. Lots of goodies, and a nice view of the bay. We parked down at the mill one day and visited The Lost Kitchen venue. Then walked down to the Hills to Sea trail entrance and enjoyed a lovely walk thru the woods. Never did get to use the kayaks. The walk up and back to the lake might be a bit steep for some so just a heads up on that. Dan and Julia were very communicative and they provided binders with lots of local information. Nice and peaceful escape! Thanks so much!

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!
