MAINE - The Pine Tree State



 
Maine is the largest and most northerly state in New England.  It has vast, pristine national parks and a magnificent rugged coastline; it is an outdoor enthusiast's nirvana.

With forested landscapes, interspersed with many lakes and rivers, it is home to a huge quantity of wildlife including deer, black bear and moose.

And for those seeking extra excitement, there is seemingly endless scope for canoeing and whitewater rafting, mixed with good fishing in the summer and well equipped ski resorts for winter pastimes.

Superb restaurants offer wonderful fresh Maine lobsters and seafood.

Outlet stores in Freeport, Kittery and Ellsworth offer discounted famous designer labels and draw shoppers from throughout the country.

There is also a plethora of concert halls, theatres and galleries featuring some of the best American artists and performers.
 
We have accommodation on offer in three different areas in Maine, to suit every interest, and a range of B & Bs right across the state.
 
Backwoods - the area around Moosehead Lake for a wide variety of outdoor pursuits and skiing.  We have a wonderful resort on Moosehead Lake and an outdoor and rafting centre at Caratunk.
 
Bethel - beautiful rural area with excellent skiing in the winter, many other outdoor pursuits available and much wildlife.  We have a delightful home at Greenwood, about 8 miles south east of Bethel, overlooking Twitchell Pond.
 
The coastal area - known as 'Vacationland', this area provides boundless scope for all types of holiday.  It has a coastline for all, stretching from the golden sands of Ogunquit and York, in southern Maine, to the rocky peninsula of Cape Elizabeth, the island filled Casco Bay and the fjord landscape between Freeport and Rockland.  Boothbay Harbor and Camden are famous for windjammers, the stunning beauty of the rugged coastline around Mt Desert and the Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and beyond.  We have a selection of properties at Ogunquit, Portland, York Beach, Boothbay Harbor, Wells and Bath.
