Blessed with an abundance of rugged, unspoiled coastline and easy-to-climb mountains, Maine is a vibrant patchwork of classic villages, colorful forests, serene lakes, and pristine beaches. Add sweet ripe blueberries and succulent lobster, charming inns and the state's top rated hikes, and you have the best of New England pure and simple.
Inn Highlights: In the Maine woods, the Big Moose Inn is a 200-year-old rustic but classic inn. The Bayview Hotel is down a winding drive away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Bar Harbor, Maine yet close enough to walk downtown. Relax while you savor the salty ocean breezes, incredible sunsets, walks on the shore and unsurpassed views of the Atlantic.
