When the warm weather officially arrives, there is one place I love to be — on the water. There is nothing quite like spending the days swimming, fishing, paddling, and enjoying the views. Fortunately, here in Maine, several waterfront retreats are perfect for warm-weather adventures. From cottages to cabins, there are options for the entire family. Below are just seven waterfront Airbnbs in Maine to consider for time on the water this year.
How would you like to wake up with friendly waves right at your cabin door? That’s what you can experience when you stay at this unique vacation rental in Maine. This Airbnb is perfect for a couple's getaway or a solo adventure. There is one bedroom and one bathroom, but it can comfortably accommodate up to four guests. And while the inside is lovely, I recommend you spend plenty of time outdoors on the floating front porch or playing in the water.
You will never want to leave this gorgeous cottage in Hampden. Here, you will enjoy panoramic views of the Penobscot River. The inside of the home is packed with amenities to ensure a cozy and delightful stay, including one bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms. The large windows let in ample natural light and ensure you enjoy the views at all times of the day.
You will never forget your stay at this lake house on Three Mile Pond in China. This private cottage rental sleeps six and boasts an incredible spiral staircase to the loft. There is plenty of space in the home to spread out and enjoy a little privacy, or head outside and enjoy some fresh air and remarkable views. Admire the scenery from the second-floor deck, prepare your meals on the outdoor grill or fire pit, and even head onto the water with the available kayaks. It's perfect for some time away.
If you are looking for a waterfront Airbnb in Maine that is a bit unique, this vacation rental is it. This beautiful Scandinavian cottage was built in 2020, so not only will you enjoy gorgeous water views, there are also many newer amenities. Inside, you’ll find two bedrooms and one full bathroom, as well as a gorgeous top-floor kitchen, living room, and dining room. Outside, sit on the private lawn along the ocean or hang out on the second-floor deck for sunrise views.
End a perfect day by watching a sunset over Brewer Lake at this Maine Airbnb. This is a great romantic getaway, as it features one large bedroom and one bathroom, and the entire space feels large with its open-concept design. This home faces west and features a private balcony so you will enjoy fiery skies each night of your stay.
Relax, unwind, and play at this beautiful lakefront cabin in Norway, Maine. This delightful cabin provides full privacy on the Crystal Clear Sand Pond. Up to seven guests can comfortably sleep at this home. Inside, you can snuggle up next to the fireplace with a good book or head downstairs and play a game of pool. Head outside and relax in the hot tub or sit by the water and enjoy the natural wonder in front of you. Hop in a kayak or canoe from the private dock and spend some time on the water — it’s pure bliss.
You will have a hard time leaving the Boathouse in Greenville. This beautiful cabin Airbnb is ideal for a family getaway. It comfortably sleeps six guests and offers countless amenities, including a full kitchen and a bunk room for kids. This former boathouse is located on 32 private acres along the shore of Moosehead Lake. During the summer, enjoy access to the water via a private dock, and in the winter, you’ll have direct snowmobile access right onto the lake.
