Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Hancock County

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb! It is in a nice spot and is very quiet. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and baking (perfect for a longer stay). The driveway was always plowed quickly after snowfall which was very helpful. It’s a pretty drive to Acadia and close to Ellsworth. This is a great place to stay!

Beautiful place! Great view of the lake and quiet location driving distance to Acadia.

We lived the coziness and homeyness of the house. It felt like grandmas house but more up to date. The location was amazing- quiet neighborhood but close to many towns and easy driving to Acadia and Bay Harbor and Portland! The host was very responsive and we loved the sunroom (and so did our pups!)

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!

We stayed at this place for a weekend! Family of 4! Everything was great! Very peaceful surroundings! Quite, private and gorgeous. We enjoyed kayaking, I managed to cut white perch from the ramp, used grill once. Place looks new and welcoming. I wish we had more time to spend at the house. Bar Harbor/Acadia/Sand Beach is less then an hour away, easy access with no traffic. Meghan was very responsive! Our flight was not until 6pm and she allowed for a late check out. Book this place with no doubt, you will not regret. Will comfortably accommodate a family of 5.

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 was a wonderful host! We had an amazing stay at her cottage. It was less than a 10 min drive from her place to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. Lauren was attentive and fair when handling any issues we ran into during the stay. We will definitely be back!

The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. in the listing. Check In was easy & the host was very responsive when sent a message. The location was peaceful yet close to surrounding Cities. Highly Recommend!

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!

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

Cannot imagine a better spot to relax with our family. A lucky spot for the owners and luckier for us that they share the rental with strangers.

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.

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.

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!

This place was perfect for me! Right in the center of town with easy access to all my favorite bar harbor shops and restaurants. Instructions were super clear on check in and I loved having the parking at balance rock inn. This is also the only Airbnb that I’ve stayed in that had an excess towels which was amazing after long days of hiking and multiple showers.

Valerie's home was clean and in a quiet neighborhood peaceful stay

This Airbnb is perfect for any getaway, especially for families with kids! Within an hour of Acadia, beautiful blueberry field, and close to Bar Harbor! The apartment is spotless and has everything you could need from kitchen utensils down to the dryer sheets! Ashtyn was extremely responsive and even made sure to bring down some toys for my niece! Highly recommend!

The place is beautiful and private; exactly as described and perfect for visiting Blue Hill and surroundings. John provided supplies to use the firepit and BBQ, as well as some lovely Maine-themed food items to enjoy. Great stay!

Great place. Exactly as described. Julie and Rich went above and beyond with recommendations and itineraries. Would stay there again!

Great stay! Located on Flanders pond (5 min walk; boat launch / public beach to fish / kayak / SUP). Caught over 10 fish in one boating trip. We’ve been to Acadia before so while we did visit the park, it was awesome to have the option to hang out at the ponds/ lakes / public land nearby and go hiking / swimming / fishing. Schoodic Mountain hike (Donnell’s Pond - 10 min drive) with a 1000ft ascent has stunning 360 views and rivals (if not surpasses) main Acadia hikes. We also went to the quiet Schoodic Peninsula side of Acadia, stopped at the beaches and then hiked Schoodic Head (500 ft ascent) / Buck Cove Mountain Trail (25 minutes away). The new modern cabins have great kitchen set ups with high-end appliances, deep set sink and cuisanart pans which made cooking easy. Super comfortable beds and every amenity needed for teenagers (Multiple TVs, WiFi) etc. Fire pit, grill and screen porch also made for a comfortable stay. Owned by a super nice local family. We will be back!

We loved staying in the yurt - everything was clean and comfortable and our stay was very relaxing. Definitely hoping to stay here again in the future!

We had a wonderful stay and this location was perfect for our all of exploring around the area/Acadia. Pamela was so thoughtful and we appreciated the hospitality and kindness. Would definitely recommend staying here if you want a unique experience that offers relaxation, charm, and peace. :)

Beautiful cabin, in a very nice area if you’re interested in going to Bangor and Bar Harbor. The town nearby, Ellsworth, offers the necessities! The road was rough, but I can’t really complain in the off-season, and my truck isn’t suited for roads like that, which is no fault of the Airbnb itself! Would gladly stay here again

The cottage is amazing! Great little getaway. Pay attention to the host’s instructions, and make sure you bring your provisions. Recommend biking/hiking to Fine Sand Beach. Could have spent an entire day there. Fresh lobster sold at the co-op. Don’t expect Tim’s (the market) to have much in way of food drink. Also, the transfer station isn’t open every day, so you might need to bring it back to Bar Harbor transfer station. Again, LOVED it and will definitely come back.
