THE COUNTY | 2018
© Inn of Acadia
A LONGSTANDING TRADITION OF HOSPITALITY in every corner of the region goes back to the generations of visitors who have cherished the unmatched beauty of The County .
Today , we welcome visitors with a broad array of lodging options that cater to your level of comfort — whether it ’ s an upscale hotel with luxury amenities or a rustic cabin or campground far from paved roads and Wi-Fi signals , a historic cottage nestled into a rolling hillside and overlooking miles of wild river or farmlands , or a budget motel that serves as a launch point for your adventure .
You can stay in a turn-of-the-century inn like The Old Iron Inn located in Caribou , where an incredible collection of antique pressing irons and local artwork are on display . The Inn of Acadia , in the St . John Valley , offers a stylish option as the former Mary of Mediatrix Convent of the Daughters of Wisdom . Now it ’ s a family-run business operated by the descendants of French-Canadians .
You ’ ll find rustic log cabins set among the evergreens in our remote regions , complete with pine furnishings , wood-burning heat , and hand-carried water . Some are more isolated than others . Your neighbors might include deer , bald eagles , raccoons , and moose . Rent a cabin or pitch a tent by a lake , and wake up in the morning to pastoral scenery and perhaps a swim , then head off for a paddle or a hike .
You can find fully furnished in-town or rural cottages to your taste , with all the comforts of home like full kitchens and hot showers . Cottage rentals are cost-effective for groups or families . Enjoy meals together as you plan your day ’ s adventure . Cabins and cottages can easily be found near lakes and on hillsides , providing wonderful views every day .
Sporting camps abound . These are a perfect way to enjoy the region ’ s outdoor and recreational appeal since they usually offer full services like guides , great home cooking , and the gear to get you going . Given our winter recreational opportunities , many of our lodgings are open year-round .
UPTA CAMP
You ’ ll hear Mainers say they ’ re going “ upta camp .” That means they ’ re heading to their cabin or cottage , often set by a lake — a getaway for relaxation .
