The state of Maine is a premier vacation rental site. Between its 6,000+ freshwater lakes and its over 32,000 miles of river, there are always some fun outdoor activities to be had in this great state. From the Quoddy Head Light, the easternmost point in the continental United States, to Mount Katahdin, the highest point and the official end of the Appalachian Trail, Mainers is always living life in the Great Outdoors.
 
Maine, which is both the only state comprised of just one syllable and the only state to border just one other state, has over 60 lighthouses! Over 50 of these historical gems are still active and people flock to see them year-round. Maine also has more surviving battle forts than any other state. But these man-made wonders have got nothing on Maine’s simply natural beauty!
 
Imagine your next vacation rental on the beautiful 3 mile stretch of famous beach in Ogunquit. This year-round destination brags that it does, indeed, have four distinct seasons and has festivals and parties to celebrate them all! Community theatres are everywhere in the summer; OgunquitFest occurs every fall; and Christmas by the Sea is a winter ritual. And, weather depending, you can sometimes talk a seasoned lobster trapper into taking you out and showing you how he catches the world-renowned Maine lobsters firsthand.
 
Mainers also have many, many ways to get around their great state, but not all of them are in cars. In Portland you can take a ferry on over to Nova Scotia for the day and Winter Harbor has a ferry back and forth to Bar Harbor. Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor has a carriage road designated off-limits for cars. And although it won’t get them to work in the morning, Mainers love rafting down the Penobscot River and all the other countless raging rivers in the Pine Tree State. Just make sure you don’t get caught in the Old Sow, the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere – or you won’t be going anywhere!
 
So whether you’re standing atop Mount Cadillac, the highest point in Maine, to see America’s first visible sunrise, touring Bangor for a quick glimpse of Stephen King’s house, or checking out the Antique Snowmobile Museum in Millinocket, Maine a vacation rental in this coastal state will provide you with a lifetime of memories.
