Maine > State > Specialty Lodging > Cottages

A family or romantic vacation at a cottage in Maine is a dreamy getaway that will call you back year after year. Cottages for vacation rentals are found on the ocean, along Maine’s inland lakes, and in the deep forests and mountains. Cottages offer privacy for romance and plenty of space to spread out for families, groups, reunions and celebrations. Many cottages are upscale and luxurious, and they offer easy access to outdoor fun like rafting, fishing, hiking and snowmobiling. Cottage owners may offer guides and sports equipment to enhance your outdoor Maine cottage vacation.
