Maine is one of the coldest states in spring and summer. If you have the means to keep warm in luxury lodgings, then spend an extraordinary holiday among pine trees while feasting on the best lobster catch in America. The rugged shores and frigid waters are only one aspect of Maine’s geography. There are fertile farmlands and homesteads, and the local food scene is always worth checking out. You can come home with good quality honey and health products sold in bee farms. The Acadia National Park, Baxter State Park, and other protected swathes of wilderness are brimming with family-friendly outdoor pursuits. New England’s largest state also has remote trails for the fearless adventurer. Check out the best luxury rentals in Maine, USA.

3. Crescent Lake, Standish (from USD 1058)
Two master suites and two additional bedrooms with views of the lake offer a restful space a few miles from Rattlesnake Mountain. The canoe and kayaks should keep you occupied for a day or two, but remember that fishing at Tenny River and going shopping in Portland, only a 30-minute drive to the east, are also in your itinerary.
The Sebago Lakes Region has varied recreational opportunities, but you can opt to stay put in this gorgeous Vrbo with a spa whirlpool, a private beach, swimming pool, and games room. Linen, beddings, and towels provided are of the highest quality. The view from all sides of the property alone will make you want to stay back.

4. Sunset, Bar Harbor (from USD 1107)
From this seacoast home, you can take a stroll to the heart of Bar Harbor for groceries and walk over a land bridge to catch crabs. But better than its location is the Vrbo itself–a historic property from the early 20th century with 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
There is enough space for 16 guests to spread around–the deck, back porch, patio, and lawn are readily accessible. The dining table seats ten, and the rest can partake the home-cooked feast on two additional tables for eight more.
