Renting a Maine cabin or cottage has the bonus of nature’s solitude and privacy away from fellow vacationers. Cabins and cottages are often located in truly unique and spectacular settings on the coast, on crystal clear lakes and rivers, or near the mountains. You could wake to the sound of a deer or moose ambling through the nearby woods or the call of a loon on an otherwise calm quiet morning lake.
Maine cabins and cottages can be one-room structures in off-the-grid campgrounds and remote resorts with simple amenities like wood-burning fireplaces and nearby ATV trails, snowmobile rentals, fishing spots, or hiking trails. On the other hand, they can be multi-room homes with fully stocked kitchens, utilities, color TVs, and playgrounds.
In fall, a cabin in the Maine woods is magical with the flush colors of leaves. Our selection of cottages and cabins includes lodging near the ocean, along sandy beaches, next to freshwater rivers and lakes, and throughout the mountains.
These recently constructed riverside cabins offer deluxe lodging in the Maine outdoors. Each four season riverside cabin offers private bedrooms, full kitchen, living and dining room area, full bathroom, heat, AC, cable TV and an outside fireplace. Experience dining on-site at our own Patrick’s Restaurant and Pub. In addition to great lodging, we offer White Water Rafting, Kayaking, Moose Safaris and much more, all from our base on the Kennebec River in Bingham.

Your Options With a Maine Cabin or Cottage
What draws many vacationers to find a cabin or cottage in Maine is the peace and solitude from the rest of the world. In the remoteness of Maine’s wilderness or on the coast, you can hear the call of loons, spot moose, or view picturesque vistas of the ocean and lakes or mountains. Vacationing in cabins and cottages often includes both supreme relaxation and adventure.
Lakes & Mountains
Within the vast folds of the mountains or secluded coastal niches, visitors can find an escape from the worries of real life. Many of these off-the-grid locations are prime sites for hunting parties, bird watching, nature walks, or simply a moment of peace. Many resorts offer rafting expeditions, moose safaris, ATV tours, guided snowmobile tours, and snowshoeing during the winter to satisfy those with a taste for adventure.
The Coast
Or, choose from relaxed, secluded settings with private beaches, near arcades and attractions, access to the great outdoors, or even close to the center of town. Maine’s cabins and cottages offer a range of options suitable for couples or families wanting to enjoy a weekend or a week discovering new areas.
The Experience of Cabins & Cottages in Maine
Picture yourself in a secluded cabin in Maine, listening to the cry of the loon on a lake as the sun sets on the crystal clear water. Or, perhaps you envision spending a week in a beachfront cottage with the soft sand and gentle surf a short walk from your front porch. For a truly outdoorsy Maine vacation, a cabin in the wilderness is the ultimate escape from life’s daily hustle.
Maine has many cabins and cottages for rent by the night, week, or season. Staying in a cabin in the mountains, on a lake or river, or along the coast is a special experience — you have a cozy setting and a small home away from home with all the basics while surrounded by the natural beauty of Maine.
Amenities
Most Maine cabins and cottages have a small kitchen, private bath and bedrooms, a deck, a porch or patio, and close parking. They tend to be ideal for small families or couples looking for a peaceful and private getaway.
Cottages and cabins are often clustered in small groups together with enough space in between to be peaceful and private. Some are located within resorts — be them lakeside resorts or oceanfront properties. This has the benefit of additional amenities to enjoy, such as pools; tennis and basketball courts; launch ramps for small boats, kayaks, or canoes; and trails for walking or biking.
Location
You will find beautiful cabins and cottages near the beaches of the Southern Maine Coast in seaside towns like York, Wells, Kennebunkport, and Old Orchard Beach. The inland Lakes Region of Maine has lots of waterfront cabins and cottages on popular Sebago, Pleasant, and Long Lake, as well as many smaller lakes and ponds too numerous to name.
Rangeley Lake has some of the most rustic but relaxing cabins in Maine — they are cozy and campy and look as if plucked from an L.L. Bean catalog. On the Midcoast and toward Downeast Maine, you will find seaside cottages with extraordinary scenery from sunrise to sunset.
Cabins on the Kennebec River and Maine’s Highlands are a great vacation destination during a hiking, whitewater rafting, hunting, or winter snowmobiling trip. Greenville on Moosehead Lake and Jackman near the Canadian border offer remote log cabins ideal to truly get away and go green with nature. You may not have Wi-Fi, so can you imagine truly unplugging for the week? Now that’s getting away from it all!
Find a Cabin or Cottage for Your Maine Getaway
While some Maine cabins are recently refurbished and charmingly decorated, many are very simple with rustic pine interiors and just the basic provisions. Cottages in Maine tend to provide a simplistic, unplugged, outdoorsy vacation without fancy entertainment centers, TV, and internet — “the way life should be” as the Maine state motto goes.
What’s nice about a cabin or cottage rental is that you can usually bring your own bike, kayak, or canoe and keep it handy right on the property. Also, you can usually barbecue or enjoy a campfire in a fire pit at night, if permitted.
You forgot Attean Lake Lodge! Definitely the best in the state!
