With Maine’s varying landscapes and terrain, our state makes for a stunning place to get away and experience the most unique Airbnbs and areas to explore. Whether you’re from the state or visiting from away, there are many options to get a taste of different parts of Pine Tree State.

When planning a trip in Maine, there are various experiences and scenes to choose from; you have the option of living the lake life, being in the mountains, staying in a treehouse in our dense forest, taking in the salty breeze on the coast of the Atlantic, or spending time in the middle of nature on a farm.

A Barnhouse on a Horse Farm in Scarborough, Maine

A beautiful example of this is a barnhouse listed on Airbnb by Chelsea, welcoming you into a fully-equipped cottage on 5 acres of secluded, serene farmland.

What’s special about this listing is that it’s on gorgeous farmland with grazing horses while being a short drive away from the city of Portland, sandy beaches, quaint coastal towns, historic parks, and must-visit spots in the state.

Large windows throughout the open-concept space welcome in beautiful light and views of grazing horses and 5 acres of space give you privacy within nature.

This provides a unique stay in Maine where you can experience farm life while still being within a short distance from other incredible and drastically different experiences that our state has to offer.
