Review

The location of this little cabin was great, centrally located, and a beautiful view!!!! Bathroom was tiny and not for large people. I don't mean just heavy, but tall. Cabin was clean, but all the towels smelled sour. The bed was very comfy!! The fro...

Beautiful place, well kept—but

The view was panoramic and breathtaking, the place was well kept and comfortable, economical for a joint vacation, and suitably isolated. Communication with the landlord and clarity of written instructions left a bit to be desired. The main number gi...

Lovely home on a gorgeous lake

We are a group of 7 friends who gather from all over to spend a week together. This year we chose this lakeside property because we felt we didn’t have to travel to see surrounding sites. It offered peaceful and beautiful views, comfortable outdoor c...

Great place to stay

We aren't very fond of having loads of people around and this place fit right in with what we wanted. On bad weather days or days when we didn't feel like going out, it was amazing to be able to sit and taking in the scenery and play with the kids on...

Great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Maine coast

My husband and I loved every minute of our time at the house at the point. It is as presented - not fancy but homey and comfortable and relaxing. Perfect for a getaway vacation. Lobsters were 5$ at the point and the coffee and treats at 44 North a lo...

The property is beautifully appointed and beautiful. The garden is gorgeous as are the views

All of the communication with DRR was courteous professional, although it would have been helpful to know in advance that the master room shower was not usable. It left only 2 showers for a group of 9. We found everything we needed for preparing meal...

Experience the charm of Maine from vacation home rentals

Maine is as scenic as coastal regions come. There are few things as pleasing as gorging on the state's famously good lobster, on a sunny afternoon, in one the charming seaside villages. Once you've had your fill of crustaceans, you could explore the other historic villages, hike along the trails in Acadia National Park, or kayak along the bays passing noisy seals. Whether you nab a Maine vacation rental along the shore, or in the pine-forested interior, this is a place to leave your cellphone at home and get on with the job of living.

Things to do

Tourist attractions near Maine vacation rentals

With such a long coastline and maritime heritage, it's hardly surprising that Maine is often called "The Lighthouse State". More than 60 beacons still dot the coast and while most have retired from warding passing ships away from the jagged cliffs, they have new jobs as popular historical attractions. If you're lucky enough to have nabbed a coastal Maine vacation rental, you're not going to want to miss the state's beaches, some of the prettiest in North America. Nor should you skip a visit to the 270-acre Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, or the Maine Maritime Museum.

Activities

Things to do near Maine vacation homes

You'd need a long time to list everything there is to do when you stay in a Maine vacation rental, but there are a few standouts that sit high on most peoples' bucket list. Maine is seriously kid-friendly and there are few places as good to bring them on vacation. With the young ones in tow, you can spend your days white-water rafting down the rapids, cycling along the glorious coastline, or enjoying a night under the stars. If you've brought your rod, consider chartering a fishing boat and heading out to sea to hook in a big one.

Weather

Local weather for your stay in Maine vacation homes

When you choose to stay in a Maine vacation rental completely depends on what you plan to do while you're there. It's true that the most gorgeous New England weather is seen during the summer, between June and October, but this is also the busiest season. Those in the know are visiting in the shoulder months of spring and fall, when the climate is more comfortable, the prices lower and the crowds have yet to come or have left already. Don't discount winter. It may be cold, but with rock-bottom vacation rental prices and plenty of snowy fun to be had, some people swear it's the best season.

Natural features

Wild moose and fluking whales in Maine

The state might not be known for its wildlife, but those who come to stay in Maine's vacation rentals are usually pleasantly surprised. The northern interior is thought to have almost 30,000 wild moose, gentle giants best seen on one of the year-round guided safaris. Along Maine's marine-rich coastline, whales annually migrate through. While they're in the bays, they often leap out and crash back into the sea, resulting in much oohing and aahing from eager spectators. Sitting on the crossroads, between the colder lands of North America and the more temperate forests of the south, means that creatures from both reside in the state.

How to get there

Transportation options to and around Maine

Fly into Bangor Intl. Airport (BGR), the closest airport, located 43.5 mi (70 km) from the city center. If you can't find a flight that's convenient for your trip, you could also fly into Millinocket, ME (MLT-Millinocket Municipal), which is 45.5 mi (73.2 km) away.

If you're traveling by train, Belfast Station, Brunswick Station and Freeport Station are the main stations that serve the city.

Food and drink

Sample New England cuisine in Maine

The culinary culture in Maine is heavily influenced by English cuisine and the abundance of seafood and dairy farms in the inland regions. Two prominent foods are maple syrup and cranberries, though lobster and potato crops are also common. You can also find a range of other New England and ethnic cuisine in Maine restaurants near your vacation rental, especially in the cities.

Good for couples
