Maine’s incredible landscape and tourist attractions make it a popular destination. While the charming seaside town Boothbay Harbor offers amazing seafaring experiences, you can spend relatively undisturbed beach time at Roque Bluffs. Else, consider heading to Rangeley, Waldoboro, Sebec, Skowhegan or Moscow to enjoy fishing and other outdoor activities. History buffs can visit Augusta’s Maine State Museum to learn more about the region. A trip to the quaint Newry will be no less interesting as there are Sunday River Ski Resort, Sunday River Bridge and Grafton Notch State Park worth exploring here. Additionally, the popular college town Farmington, home to the famous University of Maine Farmington campus, is worth a visit. Regardless of the destinations you choose to visit, pick a neat budget accommodation to keep it a pocket-friendly affair. Scroll over to book the top cheap cabin rentals in Maine, USA.
