A Maine vacation offers something for everyone, from the sandy beaches and rocky coastlines of the Atlantic shore, to quaint New England villages, to inland mountains, lakes and forests.

When you choose a Downeast and Acadia cottage rental, you'll be ideally situated to experience the natural wonders of this area, including Acadia National Park and the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge.

Bar Harbor, located on Mount Desert Island, was once New England’s premier summer resort, with lavish summer estates. Today, Bar Harbor vacation rentals range from waterfront cottages to downtown apartments to large vacation houses. Popular visitor activities include boat excursions, golfing, hiking, and shopping for the work of local artists.

Penobscot Bay is a great home base for your vacation on Maine’s Mid-Coast. Rockport and Camden cottage rentals are perfect for exploring the area, visiting shops and galleries, or taking a cruise on a Maine windjammer.

Boothbay is ideal for enjoying the rustic charm of this fishing and shipbuilding village. Vacationers can take a whale watching cruise or puffin tour, rent a sea kayak or go deep-sea fishing.

On the Southern Maine coast, a Kittery vacation rental makes a great base for shopping at the Kittery Outlets, a mile-long strip of brand name retail outlets. Guests of Ogunquit vacation rentals can stroll along Marginal Way for great bird watching and fabulous views of the rocky coastline. Kennebunkport vacation rentals are convenient to upscale dining and shopping.

In western Maine, a Bethel vacation rental is perfect for skiing at Sunday River or taking driving, cycling, or hiking tours of the area.

In the rugged beauty of Maine’s Highlands, a Moosehead Lake cabin makes a great base for fishing, boating, hiking and other outdoor pursuits.

You’re sure to find the perfect Maine cottage, cabin or vacation rental for a memorable vacation!
