Coastal Maine contemporary cottage
This place was a truly a gem. Great yard to relax and get away from everything. Place had a comfortable and homie feel! It was clean and stocked with amenities. The location was perfect for me to explore the mid-coast area which is near and dear to me. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit the area. I throughly enjoyed my stay and would book again!

Tree Dwelling with Water Views & Cedar Hot Tub (2)
We had the most wonderful staying here! A peaceful and relaxing getaway is exactly what we needed, and exactly what we received. The hot tub was the perfect touch. We couldn’t recommend this place more! Can’t wait to go back!

Spruce Nest
JC’s Place was clean, cozy, and ideally located for exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. Quiet, comfortable, and surrounded by nature—it was the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Mount Desert Island!

Rustic, cozy cabin on Sebago Lake. A hidden gem.
Came for the Fall colors; left in love with the place! Small but delightful. Cluttered in the most fantastical way. Nestled in paradise. Bonnie is so nice and friendly! Pay attention to the fact that the toilet is not attached to house. Short walk to privet and very clean!

Stream-side mountain retreat
Hope and Lloyd's place is a gem. It is peaceful and beautiful. It rained and was a bit chilly during part of our stay but it made for great weather to have a fire in the woodstove and relax. The cabin is very cozy and well appointed. There are plenty of hiking trails nearby and rivers that are fishable. We had a restorative and relaxing stay. We would not hesitate to stay again should we have an opportunity. Thank you Hope and Lloyd!

Cozy Lakefront Cabin in Freedom, ME
This was a last minute booking after a cancellation elsewhere due to the bad weather. We arrived in the afternoon after a short hike in another town. The place was as described - very cozy and clean. We had fun kayaking and fishing off the dock. Great spot for bird watching and wildlife watching, too. Very peaceful and relaxing. Can't wait to come back for a longer stay!

Cutest Cottage on Downeast Coast
The place is, as advertised, the cutest. It's equipped as well, having every tool or utensil you might need to enjoy your seafood. This was our first trip Downeast and we found it to be as charming and naturally beautiful as we hoped it would be. The cherry on top was our hosts. Bonnie and Chubba are especially friendly and are true stewards of this grand corner of America.

Birch Ledge Guesthouse--Four Season Maine Getaway
Sari and Saul's place was exceptional! The atmosphere is gorgeous, tasteful and shines with creativity and generosity. They provided the makings for a healthy, homegrown breakfast including homemade bread, jams and eggs from their chickens. We felt exquisitely cared for and welcomed. They have gone above and offer a truly unique experience.

Luxury Year-round Treehouse with private hot tub
This is a really special spot! Close to town and all kinds of necessities but also very secluded and quiet! It was so private and peaceful and such special accommodations! We stayed in a tree house that had everything we needed yet not cluttered or crowded!

Kate-Ah-Den Cabin, a soul soothing escape.
A fantastic + wonderful place to relax! Absolutely beautiful + cozy cabin surrounded by the peace of nature! Fantastic host with warm touches to make this an unforgettable trip for us and our pups :]

Beachfront Guest Cottage - Year-round Hot Tub!
We had an awesome stay here!! The views are beautiful, the hot tub is awesome and the house was clean! It was also really fun to see the chickens and goats! Would definitely stay here again!

Secluded Waterfront Cabin
This is our 3rd visit to this cabin. It’s everything my family could ever want in a getaway. I love the rustic nature of it, but appreciate its modern conveniences. It’s also peaceful and the fishing is great. It’s close enough to Lincoln to grab stuff, but far enough to feel completely remote. Also within range of Baxter state park. It’s truly a special place I will continue to visit.

LUX Designer Private Waterfront
We came here for a private getaway on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The price was a bit much, but for such a special time I felt it was worth it at the time I booked, and worth it it certainly was. beautiful, quiet, serene, it was perfect for a getaway. I would absolutely recommend, and I already have, this stay. 10/10

Cozy Private Luxury Yurt Mt View/HOT TUB / Wi-Fi
This was the first time we’ve ever rented a yurt. We would definitely go back to see Shari. She did not miss a beat. It was everything that we needed right there. Even bathrobes. I highly recommend going to stay here. We will definitely be back. If I could give 100 stars I would.

Driftwood Cottage
Colleen is a wonderful host who was kind enough to bring us a lovely breakfast, local and even treats for our pup. The view from this seaside cottage is nothing short of spectacular and you’re right on the doorstep of some of the most scenic coastlines of Acadia National Park. The cottage is rustic but we felt right at home and were so touched by all of the thoughtful extra touches like snacks, fresh cut flowers, and a fridge stocked with water, sports drinks, and cheeses. It really was a treat and we hope to return soon!

Mad Moose Lodge• Secluded Cabin w/ Mountain View’s

Cove House
We have been going to this area of Maine for over fifty years. I found this gem several years ago and haven’t stayed anywhere since. I find it to be peaceful, walkable to the center via footbridge, it’s all that we want. Kathy is a great host, quickly responds to any questions or needs you may have. We always know we will have a great experience staying here.

Rising Tide Times - quintessential Maine cottage
Stayed at Bethany's place for a long weekend at the end of the season. The location is unbeatable, the house is situated on its own little peninsula in a stunning cove; it feels very private and has amazing views of the water. There's tons of outdoor space and seating, along with several kayaks. The house itself is clean, quiet, and peaceful, although it's definitely small--probably best for one or two people, or a couple with a small child. Access is down an unpaved road but Bethany's very clear instructions made it easy to find, and she was responsive to any questions we had. Harpswell abounds with areas to hike and explore, lots of good places to eat (though you will definitely need a car) and is less than an hour from Portland and only half an hour from Freeport.

Plovers Cottage, Waterfront
This is a beautiful hidden little gem. The cottage is right on the water facing west, perfect to catch the sunsets every night. The place is comfortable and homey. The local store (Dunbar’s) had everything we needed and more, including a deli and hot food. We enjoyed some time in Acadia, which is about an hour drive, but trust me it was worth the drive to stay at Plover’s Cottage. I would definitely stay again. Mark, the host, was available for questions and even brought more firewood to make sure we got to enjoy the fireplace.

Cute Midcoast Cottage w Hot Tub
This was a gorgeous place. Belfast was a cute little town not far away. We enjoyed eating at Rollies Bar and Grilland walking around town. Hannaford grocery store was close with average prices. We had approximately 1 1/2 hour drive when we visited Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor which were exceptional. We enjoyed the food at Geddys and Bar Harbor Inn. We also traveled to Owls head lighthouse and hiked through Camden State Park. This was a nice location we enjoyed our stay.

Hilltop Retreat with Hot Tub & Sauna near Downtown
My friend and I spent our momcation here and it was perfect! The sauna and hot tub felt relaxing. The lilacs were in bloom and smelled heavenly. The birds sang for us every morning while we enjoyed our coffee on the deck. I love to cook and the kitchen had what I needed. The house was clean and was the sweetest little set-up.

Water's Edge-Oceanfront with Stellar View
Gorgeous ocean views right on the water! Every room has gorgeous photography on the walls, the house was extremely clean, everything clearly laid out in the house manual. Sunrises and moonrises over the ocean were stunning and unbelievable. Amazing location, super close to Tidal Falls. Drive to Acadia was easy and it is a great spot in between the Schoodic peninsula part of Acadia and the Bar Harbor part.

Waterfront Farmhouse with Modern Flair!
We stayed for eight days and loved it! It surpassed our expectations and the open floor plan allowed our three generation family to spend great time just talking and spending quality time together. We were met with some great snacks when we arrived which came into handy after a long day of traveling from the west coast. We were captivated by the beautiful landscape including amazing eagles plunging into the waters and catching fish. The changing tides meant the landscape and natural activities were always providing a new show to enjoy. We loved everything about this stay and would highly recommend it!

New build with hot tub in Old Orchard Beach
An absolutely charming property that is close to the beach, the boardwalk and close to shops and restaurants. The property is very well designed for function, is very appealing and had a lot of features and the amenities that we were looking. Plus, the overall style was clean and appealing. The host is amazing and I highly recommend staying at this property. I will definitely go back.
Your guide to Maine
All About Maine
Located on the northeastern tip of the Atlantic Coast, the state of Maine is the epitome of New England charm, with rugged coastlines giving way to an endless expanse of ocean and lighthouses and lobster boats dotting the horizon. For the outdoor adventurer, Maine’s wilderness is nothing short of breathtaking: Trek through the rocky red cliffs of Acadia National Park, cool off in year-round ice caves in Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area, and take a dip in the alpine pond on Tumbledown Mountain.
You can spend endless hours breathing in the fresh sea air here. For those more inclined to a city break, Maine has some of the most charming coastal towns around, starting with its biggest city, Portland. Stock up on local artisan wares, sample an up-and-coming restaurant scene, and peruse vintage and antiques shops brimming with treasures. However you choose to spend your time here, one thing is non-negotiable: Make sure to save space in your itinerary to sample Maine lobster in all its freshly-caught glory.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Maine
Maine’s full four seasons are part of what makes this state so beautiful. When to visit depends entirely on what you’re coming here to do. Maine rentals on the beach fill up fast in the summer (so book ahead), but with good reason: the weather is typically warm, the beaches are beautiful, and there is no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy. Late spring and early autumn are good choices if you want to skip some of the crowds but still take advantage of nice weather for walking, hiking, and boating. Fall is possibly the most beautiful time to visit, as the forests break out in shades of reds, orange, and gold, though you risk the chance of rain or even snow in later months. In the winter, temperatures drop and blankets of snow turn the mountains into a skier or snowboarder’s paradise.
Top things to do in Maine
Lighthouses
Maine’s lighthouses have been important navigational points and welcoming safe havens to seafaring folk for 200 years. Many of these 65 landmark lighthouses are open to the public for tours — some house quaint museums, others can be climbed for panoramic coastal views. As you make your way throughout the state, keep your eye out for them; even if just from afar, they’re postcard-perfect sights to see.
Eat lobster
From inventive farm-to-table fare in Portland’s best restaurants, to piping hot bowls of clam chowder, bean suppers, clambakes, and craft beers, Maine’s local culinary scene is nothing short of drool-worthy. Still, there is one food that rules them all: lobster. Lobster rolls, steamed lobster, boiled lobster, grilled lobster — no matter the preparation, nothing beats eating it here, straight from the sea.
Acadia National Park
Maine is beautiful any which way you look, but Acadia National Park is perhaps the most beautiful corner of the state. From the heritage-protected Merchant Row islands famous for their granite, to learning about the homeland of the Wabanaki indigenous people, to lush forests painted in all the colors of fall, there are endless trails and treks to discover.
