Cottage holiday rentals in Owls Head

Spent quite a while here for work and saw winter turn to spring. What an amazing place to stay! Right on the water, great views, and it’s so peaceful. Thanks Craig for being so flexible! Everything was up to par and then some. I hope to come back in the summer sometime and enjoy it again!

The most beautiful place, exceeding all expectations. The views are spectacular. We breathed in peace and tranquility. A fabulous place to celebrate my 80th birthday with the whole family -- 16 of us. Everyone was comfortable in the space. In addition to being the perfect host, Samantha provided surprise extras which was such fun! Just a few of the highlights: S'mores at the firepit, lobster dinners, seals, bald eagles and fireworks. She made our stay truly memorable. My family gives the place the highest recommendation.

This house has a beautiful view of the lake!! The complementary water activity’s are worth booking!! We enjoyed our stay and will come back!! Make sure to walk out on the dock at night and look at the stars!!

Our stay at the Great Pond Airbnb was incredible! The house was beautiful, cozy, and fully stocked with all the amenities we needed. We especially loved the paddle boat—it was magical to take it out on the lake early in the morning and watch the sunrise. Truly a dream! Finding the place initially was a bit tricky (we missed some details in the instructions), and cell service in the area is spotty, so definitely screenshot directions beforehand. Once settled, though, it was perfect. Being just over an hour from Acadia National Park was a huge bonus! We had a blast hiking, especially on Precipice Trail (challenging but amazing!) and Beehive Trail for a slightly easier, but still fun option. This spot offered the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway!

Was a great place for a weekend get together with our family. Right on the water and a great throwback feel but with all the amenities.

We stayed here our last night while visiting Acadia. Super cute little cabin! We loved that they had a common space in the main house that was full of supplies and very welcoming. Would stay here again!

We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Eddie’s house. It was so clean and inviting. The house has so much character. The view of the lake was great. We would definitely book again.

Eric is a super friendly host and he knows the local recommendations. His cabin is easy to check-in, clean and very peaceful. One sidenote is this listing doesn't provide wifi, making it ideal for people looking for an unplugged getaway. We truly enjoyed our time on the beautiful Maine coast!

Anna was incredibly communicative and her place was clean, quiet, and exactly what we were looking for. We especially loved her two little greeter cats!

We had a great stay! The house is very nice with a view of the bay and the screened in porch was an great place to be outside but away from the bugs. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet and the house had everything we needed with appropriate notes in all the right places.

Cute little cabin in the woods!! Super clean, check in was very easy. Nichole was very easy to communicate with. The cabin was perfect for a quick weekend. We would definitely stay again!

We had an amazing stay at Jason’s place despite a (mostly) rainy Memorial Day weekend! We still found plenty to do including inside the Airbnb, outside at the pond, and locally at all of the great restaurants/breweries/nature around. We also made it out to Acadia two of our days. I will say, the trip took longer than advertised (about an hour to get to the edge of the park), but was a pleasant enough ride. We also had our two dogs staying with us and we all felt right at home! Jason was a very responsive and helpful host as well - you can’t go wrong with this peaceful retreat on the pond!

Barbara place is awesome for a couple plus I child nice quiet area very clean and it private. Barbara is a great host you will love this spot it feels like home we will be back

We loved staying at Ann's place! It was exactly what we wanted, close to town and to lots of activities but also felt remote and in a really gorgeous location. Great, rustic spot.

Beautiful home! Bed was great! Other things we loved were: having a well stocked kitchen (and coffee), and a washer/dryer. We did struggle to sleep the 1st night with the road noise, but we got ear plugs for the 2nd night and had no issue. Also, the sun does come in early, it would be nice to have an option of blackout curtains. Overall, a beautiful place and we would definitely stay again!

Mark was awesome. The place was just what I needed to get away from the grind of life. I recommend him to any and everyone.

Being at Carole's place was a total pleasure. If I could, I'd spend a lot of time living on a boat, and this was about as close as possible to that experience, only much more comfortable. I loved being able to see all that was going on in the bay - a lobster boat with a happy dog aboard, a kayak - but mostly birds, including a few visits from a couple of Bald Eagles. For anyone who enjoys nature and privacy, this place is heaven.

Dianne’s place was a quintessential Maine cabin with all the right feels that worked great for our family (kids ages 9, 7, & 4). The walk to the private beach became part of our morning and evening daily routine. We loved climbing the rocks, exploring the shore, listening to the quiet, trying to spot wildlife, and wondering at the stars. The location was great, with plenty of family friendly activities- The Happy Clam restaurant was awesome for kids with a playground outside, Marshall Pt. Lighthouse to explore, Camden to walk around, Mt. Battie to hike, fresh water lake swimming at Barrett’s Cove, American Flatbread for dinner with outside kids games, Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse with a mile long jetty walk out, Owls Head Lighthouse to explore, Owls Head General Store for lunch outside (burger rated #1 in Maine - worth it) & Crescent Beach for ocean swimming. We had a beautiful time here- breathing in nature and experiencing the beauty of coastal Maine.

The cottage was very charming and my husband and I really enjoyed the location right on the ocean. It was great to have the outdoor fire pit, separate iron grill, picnic table and the plastic adirondack chairs. Inside, just a few minor things would have helped - a small glass measuring cup, more wall hooks in the bathroom, bedroom and open entry way closet, and a wall mirror in the bedroom. Perhaps a couple of steak knives would have helped, but I had my Swiss army knife. Also a corkscrew and cheap, even plastic wine glasses. Nevertheless, we would stay her again in an instant. It is very close to stores in Rockland, with 2 supermarkets 5-10 minutes away. It is convenient to exploring Camden to the North as well as Owls Head to the South and Rockport and Rockland in between. The cottage is small and simple but wonderfully updated with excellent small appliances. All eating utensils are new. We only had to use the heating unit one morning, and it quickly heated the main room.

I have zero complaints about Gordon's home. Everything was accurately described and the property was beautiful! it is right on the pond and the pictures do it justice. Yes, it's a little small and gets cold in the winter but it's worth it if you want to stay somewhere pretty without breaking the bank. Also, he has 3 heaters. We didn't leave them on because we were gone a lot of the time but it probably would have stayed warm if we did. This is really a great property for a couple! Highly recommended.

I wish we could rate Chelsea’s place more than 5 stars! Chelsea and her family were beyond welcoming and made sure we had an incredible time. Truly the best Airbnb experience we’ve had and hope to be back soon! Chelsea’s place is in a beautiful setting and was perfect for my children (ages 1 year and 3 years). We would highly recommend!!! Thank you, Chelsea and family!

Centrally located in a laid back portion of Maine’s central coast there is plenty to enjoy in a short drive yet the neighborhood is private and peacefully silent at night. Marianne (host) is available for local knowledge and went beyond expectations to make my wife and I comfortable and welcome. Cozy cottage is perfect for a couple and a pup with everything we needed. We’ll be back.
