Take the Scenic Route: The best drives in Maine
Pagett Farm, Palermo
At Pagett Farm, you can choose to stay in either a cozy tent or a yurt within nature. The 63-acre working organic farm has lots of farm animals and wild birds, making this a great place to keep your children entertained. While staying here, you can also enjoy delicious farm breakfasts made of locally grown and organic ingredients.
Norumbega Inn, Camden
When you picture castles, you don’t typically envision them in Maine. However, the Norumbega Inn is known as the “stone castle by the sea.” Each room here is elegant and different from the rest, though to experience the true lap of luxury, you have to stay in the Library or Penthouse Suite.
Timberstone Adventures, Stoneham
Spend a peaceful night in the trees at Timberstone Adventures. Here, you can lounge in one of three treehouses near the White Mountain National Forest. For some family fun, you can also enjoy playing the 18-hole Disc Golf Course.
Seaside Inn, Kennebunk Beach
It’s difficult to find a sound more relaxing than waves crashing against the shore. If beaches are your destination of choice, you stay directly on Kennebunk Beach at the Seaside Inn. Not only does this inn have a beachfront location, but it is also the oldest inn run by a family in the U.S.
