We rent every year with Vacation Cottages and always receive great service that is why this is our 3rd year back (Onshore Cottage). The Blue Hill area is just beautiful especially the views from the top of Blue Hill Mountain. We stay in Brooklin near the Wooden Boat School where the views from our cottage are just as wonderful ~Sanders Family ...read more

Vacation Cottages 1888-291-3525 www.vacationcottages.com rentals@vacationcottages.com Why rent in Maine? Let us show you! Natural wonders, lighthouses, shopping, whale watching, horseback riding, wildlife, wild maine blueberries and a medley of lodging and dining choices await you in the Downeast&Acadia; region. And did you say lobster? It’s fresh off the boat and prepared to your liking. The coast of Maine offers whale watching, puffin watching and seakayaking, while on many lakes you will find exceptional canoeing, fishing and hunting opportunities. Hike, bike, climb, relax by the water’s edge or explore the nooks and crannies. It's a region filled with possibilities. Discover Downeast&Acadia anytime of the year for the memories of a lifetime. Acadia National Park, home to 1,532-foot Mount Cadillac. Its summit is the first spot in the United States where the sunrise can be seen. Acadia’s stunning mountains, lakes, and sea cliffs can be viewed from a number of vantage points—an auto loop, carriage roads closed to car traffic, and 125 miles of trails exclusively for hiking. The Bar Harbor area possesses a great selection of family activities, including a family nature camp, an oceanarium, a zoo, and a lumberjack show. The recently expanded Abbe Museum showcases the Wabenaki Indians, some of Maine’s earliest residents. Visitors can also indulge in rock climbing, sailing, paddling, brewery tours, boat excursions, and golf. For shoppers, Bar Harbor features a number of top-notch boutiques, many of which showcase the works of Maine artists and sculptors. Why rent a private home vs hotel? Economics is one of the primary reasons. A vacation home can replace 2-4 hotel rooms at a fraction of the cost. Why squish the whole family in one room when each person can have their own bed in their own private bedroom for less? Save on high dining bills Vacationers can eat their meals at home or even cook up their favorite meals on the barbecue. Privacy is another major consideration when choosing a vacation rental home over a hotel. Who wants to listen to new guests arriving all hours of the night through the thin walls in hotels? Outside Space Many vacation homes include large back yards or large lawns for space to explore or play. This is hard to do at a hotels when all they offer is a paved parking lot! Pool Many vacation homes have private heated pools and/or spas. Why share with others when you don't have to! Family & Friends Guest can enjoy their gathering of friends and family without interruption. Who wants to eat in a noisy crowded restuarant every day? Amenities are probably the main reason vacationers continue to rent vacation homes year after year. Many vacation rentals offer amenities that are superior to many upscale hotels and resorts. Pillow top mattresses, plasma TVs, wireless Internet, pool or game tables, fully stocked gourmet kitchens, private heated pools and spas and some of the most spectacular waterfront views. ...read more
