What Guests Are Saying About Their Maine Stay
“We had a wonderful stay on a snowy weekend. The space is super relaxing and the nearby lighthouse is beautiful!”
“This space is SO beautiful and I loved the property—it was very serene and peaceful with lots of critters! It was very quiet and relaxing. I loved the design and the mini split heating system was so warm! The space was easy to find, and we had a really nice time in Belfast and Searsport which is nearby. I absolutely recommend this space!”
“The Stone House was a beautiful retreat for a work weekend up in Maine. We did not get to explore too much around the area but the state park nearby was beautiful. We loved the attention to detail with the quality of linens, the delicious coffee, high end appliances and minimal but warm and noteworthy decor. Very peaceful and enjoyable to be there!”
“Had such a lovely stay at the Salt House! The property is stunning, and was perfect for a quick solo trip. Red Cottage was very quick to respond to my questions, and went above and beyond with really clear check in instructions and guidelines. The photos don’t do the house justice – I can’t wait to come back in the warmer weather to take advantage of everything the area has to offer.”
“Our cabin was immaculate and so cozy. We were a short drive to Portsmouth, York, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport. There were so many places to hike and walk our dogs! We would love to go back again!”
“Such a beautiful cabin nestled in a lovely community. Neighbors were friendly and the cabin had a perfect location nestled close to the woods. We enjoyed walking down to the dock and watching the sunset on the river. We spent our evenings by the firepit watching fireflies appear. A perfect escape for the summer!”
Discover Maine
Maine blends rugged Atlantic coastline with some of New England’s most beloved towns. It’s a place where lobster rolls taste better eaten at a picnic table by the water, hiking trails end with ocean views, and every season feels like a reason to come back.
Maine’s shoreline is best experienced on foot. The Marginal Way in Ogunquit is a must, a paved cliff-top path with sweeping Atlantic views from start to finish. Further north, the Ocean Path in Acadia National Park follows the rocky shore past Thunder Hole and Sand Beach, while the Rockland Breakwater offers a unique mile-long walk out over the water with views of Penobscot Bay.
Ogunquit Beach is one of the finest on the East Coast, with a wide stretch of sand backed by a gentle tidal river. Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport draws those looking for a quieter afternoon, and Popham Beach State Park further up the coast is worth the drive for its dramatic sandbars and setting.
The waters around Maine reward exploration. Kayak the Kennebunk River estuary or paddle through the salt marshes of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. Whale watching tours depart seasonally from Kennebunkport and Bar Harbor, and sailing charters out of Rockland and Camden offer a classic Maine experience on Penobscot Bay.
Portland is one of the best food cities in the country for its size. Fore Street and Eventide Oyster Co. are must visit spots, Duckfat is beloved for its casual lunches, and Hunt + Alpine Club is the go-to for a refined cocktail. Outside the city, Earth at Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport sets the bar for a special dinner, while Arrows in Ogunquit and Primo in Rockland are favorites among food-minded visitors.
Each of Maine’s coastal towns has its own character. Kennebunkport and Ogunquit are ideal bases for first-time visitors, with galleries, boutiques, and excellent restaurants within easy walking distance. Camden and Rockport offer a quieter, more intimate feel with stunning harbor views. Bar Harbor serves as the gateway to Acadia and has a lively summer energy all its own.
