Dear Friend:
Renting a camp or cottage is a delightful way to experience the splendors of Maine. As you browse through these pages, imagine yourself relaxing in your own cozy spot after a day full of Maine enchantment.
This guide is a reliable source of camp and cottage rentals. Owners and agents who list properties here are expected to obey The Golden Rule by dealing with others as they would want others to deal with them.
We track any complaints about an owner or agent who fails to live up to standards of honesty and fairness. If a pattern develops concerning a listing, it is removed.
Tens of thousands of people have used this guide to obtain just the spot they wanted. You, too, can use the guide confidently.
Meanwhile, we look forward to welcoming you to Maine. If you wish additional information, write or call the Maine Publicity Bureau. Or visit one of our information centers located in Kittery, Yarmouth, Fryeburg, Hampden, Calais and Houlton.

Most of this region is privately owned pulp and paper company land, although much of it is accessible to the public. Relatively few highways disturb the unspoiled beauty of north and north-central Maine. Outdoor recreation is a major pastime here where lakes, mountains, and rivers rule supreme. Moosehead is the largest lake in the state, some 40 miles long, and Katahdin, in 200,000 acre Baxter State Park the highest mountain, and northern terminus for the Appalachian Trail.
