Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Ellsworth

What a dream it was to stay in this beautiful, dog-friendly spot! Being able to let my pups run, play, and explore the woods was such a gift. The loft, with its high ceilings, was warm and inviting, and the bed was so comfortable I didn’t want to get up! Tony was a kind and welcoming host—I’m already looking forward to my next stay.

Great stay for our family of 5 adults and 3 toddlers! Lots to do and great proximity to Acadia/Bar Harbor. House was well supplied with clear instructions. Brady also connected with us before the stay and kept in touch for anything that came up as a concern. Thank you!

The place is beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. We were able to bring our Gracey Girl who had an amazing time with all of the smells in the secluded location. We were able to explore areas in town and Bar Harbor. Yes, it was a 45 minute ride to Bar Harbor but it didn't feel like it and to be able to come back to the beautiful home in the peace and quite was amazing. I was paranoid about the electricity, being off the grid, but there were no issues even though we had a couple of cloudy days. The wifi worked well too, both streaming TV and for the little bit of work I did while there.

Took a family trip to Acadia and this was a great place to stay. The house was very comfortable and enjoyed the on-site hiking trails and sitting down at the lake and having a wine. Appreciate the quick response from the owner when I had a question. Great getaway!!! Thank you for a memorable stay!

Lauren’s cottage was fantastic! Warm and cozy. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The weather was unfortunately chilly and wet during part of our stay and the cottage was perfect to relax.

A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Beth was wonderful to deal with and very communicative. She kept in touch with us prior to our trip, and she patiently answered any questions we had during the trip. The views from the patio and living room are fantastic, and the area is very quiet. Both the Park and Bar Harbor are a short drive a way. This is a great place to stay on a trip to Bar Harbor.

Really cool little house in a great location for exploring Acadia NP/Blue Hill/Deer Isle region. The house is small, but it’s set up to really use the space wisely. It’s really nicely decorated also. Had everything we needed. Union River Bay is just down the road where you can watch the seals frolicking. Had a great stay! Ice cream store is only a 2 minute walk. Bonus!!

A perfect spot just outside of Acadia. Nestled on a private road that is beautiful also! Immaculately clean and very responsive host. My only issues was the beds- for me they were not comfortable but I prefer a firm bed. I definitely would come back here when visiting Acadia again.

Nice place! I had a great time here with my dog. The host gave us instructions when we arrived, and he response very quickly and friendly. Highly recommend

this was the 3rd time our family has stayed,again we had a fantastic time! We chose to return due to the great space, a fabulous indoor pool, great kitchen and an amazing view. Great attention to details, comfortable for large families or groups and peaceful for just 2.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

The cabin was extremely clean and felt like a home away from home. My husband and I highly recommend staying at Wild Acadia. It is an easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

We got a very rainy week in Maine but still enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable and well stocked house, views, decks and incredible garden. Beautiful restaurants, bookstores and wine and antique shops near by. Hope to return to very soon.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

Ami was a great host, she left us some snacks and treats special to Maine for our arrival. We loved staying here, it was a short distance into town where we enjoyed Pat’s Pizza, the ice cream shop across the street, the lumberjack show and Momo’s cheesecakes (open 24/7 and absolutely adorable and fun space). We also drove the 25 minutes or so into Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, it was all beautiful and the stay was very nice.

Great stay; were very accommodating about our repeated, rather last-minute extensions of our stay. All I would say is that if you’re visiting in winter , you’ll definitely need 4 wheel drive to get to the house! But other than that, it was perfect for our needs and we really appreciated how accommodating Hui, Roger, and Cindy were of our changing plans. Very well stocked with cleaning supplies and kitchen things as well. Tub was really nice for my little one and we enjoyed the wood stove. Also very clear instructions and ultra quick response times. Very private. I’m sure in warmer months the fire pit outside area are really nice; as wintertime guests, once we got the car in, we appreciated being able to park so close and the absence of stairs or steps to navigate and the covered porch in front of the entry for loading and unloading.

Michelle and I stayed here and we both loved it! Great house in a quiet and peaceful location. Perfect spot to open the doors in the morning as well as sit outside for breakfast and in the evenings. House is set back from a seldom used private road that goes to only a few more houses. A few cars passed each day, so quite private. Easy drive into Bar Harbor and good location for Schoodic Peninsula and Southwest Harbor/Bass Harbor. Everything in the house was spotless with much of the items being new. House description and pictures were accurate. The carport was a nice touch to keep the car out of the sun and cool. Nearby grocery store (10 mins from house) was convenient as we passed by on the way out and back each day. Host (Dylan) was responsive throughout the stay and flexible when we asked to extend a few more days. Very pleased to have selected this house and location for our visit to Acadia! Would book again without hesitation.

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.

Beautiful place! Pamela and Marc were so kind and brought me warm water when I was feeling unwell. The geese and chickens were very charming. Highly recommend to anyone in the area for Acadia.

This Airbnb was amazing! So quiet and right on the water. Stunning views (an amazing sunrise every day). Inside is a little rustic but very comfortable. Cute little fire pit area next to the water in the yard. The lake is so clear and looked amazing, it was just a bit cold for an October swim. The layout is great and was very spacious for two but I could see sharing it with a couple. The drive to Arcadia and Bar Harbor was manageable and easy, lots of cute quaint Maine small town charm from Ellsworth to Bar Harbor. We’ll be returning for another visit.

Such a great stay! We had lots of fun and Chelsea was great! We were early and she was accommodating with an early check in. The place was beautiful. Would recommend again and again!

This house was amazing—hosts really have thought of everything when it comes to guest experience! Kayaking out to the tiny islands in the bay a couple times allowed us to see horseshoe crabs and bald eagles up close. The fire pit was great and the “s’mores station” with supplies in the kitchen upon arrival was so cute and thoughtful. Our three kids loved this place and didn’t want to leave at the end of the week. Our boys especially loved the lower level game room with ping-pong, arcade games, and pop-a-shot. The kids also loved reading on the sofa in the upstairs loft overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner there a couple times during the week. The hosts gave great local recommendations as well—the craft beer at Fogtown Brewing in Ellsworth (less than 15-min. drive) is excellent, and it is very kid-friendly with a large outdoor eating area and wood-fired pizza. We’d love to return to this house! Mosquitoes are fierce so bring bug repellent.
