House holiday rentals in Gouldsboro

Me and my friends loved this BNB!! The hot tub was amazing and the pool was an awesome addition. Instructions were clear and even called to walk me through everything. Plenty of places to sleep and loads of places to go!

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

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

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

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.

If you’re looking to stay in Bar Harbor, this is the place! We felt very at home during our 1 week stay and walking to and from downtown Bar Harbor was easy and accessible. The house is also a 8 minute walk to the nearest grocery store so cooking your own home made meal was simple. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family and would stay here again!

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!

We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of beds for everyone. Convenient to get to Acadia and bar harbor with a short drive!

We enjoyed our stay at Ashleys's home. It is a beautiful, peaceful and lovely location, with great proximity to Acadia National Park, Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Institute. Our family enjoyed watching the lobster boats in the morning and noodling around the peninsula. It was a very comfortable space, with a well stocked kitchen and dining area.

Great place to stay. House was great and would stay again. Would recommend it to everyone

The house has everything you need but can be a bit tight navigating around furniture. Location was perfect for us as we explored the quiet part of Acadia and drove north for lobster rolls at River View Takeout and a seafood casserole from Chapmans (highly recommend both!). The latter we heated up at the house - oven worked great! We just missed the (seasonal) ferry service to Bar Harbor, but in the end that was fine. The hour drive to the main part of Acadia goes quickly as Maine drivers drive fast! I would stay again if I ever make it back to Acadia. Quiet, few people (granted, we were there off season, but the park still had a lot of folks!), essential items provided or can easily be purchased at the shop down the road.

Loved our stay in your beautiful home. The decor and cleanliness made us feel right at home. Perfect place to leave the Acadia crowds behind! Everything was perfect!

My husband and I rented this house so our nephew and his young son could visit with us. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed. Danielle was always responsive to questions and we were close to beautiful outdoor spaces.

We had a wonderful time in Wes’ Winter Harbor home. It was beautifully furnished, had nice amenities, and was very clean. The quietness of the area was extraordinary. We went into Bar Harbor which is about an hour away and was great, but absolutely check out Shoodic Point for the incredible waves when you stay here!

Such a peaceful and charming getaway! Loved the private backyard space and all of the cute design details. Plenty of fans to keep us cool and lots of supplies/activities. The little radio speaker was great and loved that there were some guidebooks to read and games to play. The first aid kit was fully stocked too which was so handy. SO glad that we had this spot to come back to after long days in bar harbor, nice to be away from the touristy area and to have such a cozy space to unwind. The neighboring town of Ellsworth was super cute and definitely worth a visit if you stay here. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to visit the area.

What a beautiful house in a lovely setting! The historic details with modern kitchen and baths made this a perfect home base for exploring this lesser known part of the Maine coast. Proximity to Schoodic Peninsula (part of Acadia National Park) allowed for great hiking and incredible views. Some great restaurants are close by. We particularly liked the Tree House in Winter Harbor and the “Pickled Wrinkle” in Birch Harbor. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. We especially loved the backyard fire pit. Having dogs in tow, we REALLY appreciated the fenced yard. Views of the sunset from the front yard were just stunning. We will definitely be back!

10/10 would recommend Dana’s place! Easy to get to, and absolutely spotless! There is a nice walking trail to the lake to enjoy time by the water. We had a great stay, plenty to do within an hour radius of the Airbnb. As a chicken lover, I adored the flock that roamed the property. They’re very friendly :)

Beautiful, clean, fully-stocked home in quiet, peaceful area. Outdoor amenities (seating, fire pit, etc.) are perfect for gathering. Hosts are very responsive, friendly. This is the nicest airbnb I've ever stayed in.

We felt so at home at Travis’ place. We had a late check in, and I will say he was right when he said it’s tricky to find in the dark! Once we got there and looked around it got easier. Everything was so clean and cozy. We loved having the two bedrooms right next to each other. It made it easy for our young daughter to get us if she needed us at night. The view alone made us feel so at peace that not much could top it. We also appreciated the access to tvs, but not making them stick out in the home. Everywhere we went was between a 30-45 minute drive which we did not mind at all. We actually quite enjoyed it so we weren’t right by all the craziness of some of the tourist towns. I can’t say anything but amazing things about this house. If you’re looking to book and this house ends up on your list.. just book it!! You won’t regret it.

Jolette’s airbnb was perfect for our trip. The place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. It’s in a quiet spot, about an hour from Acadia National Park, which made it easy to explore during the day and unwind in the evenings. Highly recommend

This was a perfect location, short walk to town. The bed was extremely comfortable. All of Anne’s suggestions for food and hikes were excellent. Anne was very responsive.

We spent four days in the Park. Great location relative to the Park. The last ferry had stopped for the season, but that was OK as we used the car to see the entire park. The house was extremely well stocked: cooking utensils, appliances, dish soap, laundry detergent, EXCELLENT wash/dryer, plenty of necessities that we usually travel with “just in case” ie. toilet paper, etc., firepit. The windows/doors looked to be brand new, as did the LR furniture-and it was extremely comfortable!! We had a small issue with the TV, but Michaela was over immediately the next morning to fix it. She even offered to talk us through cooking a lobster 🦞 😆👏. The beds were very comfortable and the towels were top notch! The furnace warmed the house very quickly in the morning ! Our stay was great. The leaf season is very peaceful in Winter Harbor. Michaela was wonderful.

Aaron's place was super cute and cozy,was one of the best places we have ever rented, Amazing and very private super close to Bar Harbor and attractions in the Area,like Cadillac mountain and the Arcadia national Park surroundings etc,the bed is comfortable and hot water was Amazing,the Grill is super easy to use and super efficient,the view of the lake is a Dream come true when you wake up in the morning or sunset to look out into the lake as you have either breakfast or dinner,it is especial when you can enjoy your stay in such amazing environment and gorgeous home, shopping at Hannaford and then cooking it at the home grill was the best dinner ever, thanks to Aaron for attention to detail at this property,I definitely recommend renting this home for privacy and comfort of the mind,is truly a great home and location to the attractions are superb,is far enough for privacy and close enough to all attractions without a Doubt is a Gem,I will Definitely come back without thinking about it

Beautiful place! Can't wait to visit again. Very comfortable and access to nature right in your backyard.
