Mount Desert Island, Maine vacation rentals nestle in the shadow of Acadia National Park, one of New England's most extraordinary natural attractions. Vacation rentals on the island, including wonderfully rustic cabin rentals and up-to-the-minute vacation homes, make a perfect home base for exploring rounded mountain tops, sparkling lakes, and Somes Sound, the only fjord on the East Coast. When you're ready to spend time off-island, choose from a wonderful selection of schooners and sailboats, whale watches and fishing trips, as well as dinner and casino cruises. When you're back on land, but don't feel like walking, you can rent something with wheels or something with hooves. And when it's time to grab a bite, you can feast casually dockside on freshly caught seafood or enjoy fine dining and cool jazz in a more formal setting. For a special Mount Desert Island treat, visit the gardens and forests of Jordan Pond and enjoy homemade popovers and strawberry jam on the lawn from 3-5PM. This is a New England getaway where the vacation rentals fit for a king and queen, but priced so that everyone can afford them.
