If you’re planning a trip to the North Atlantic coast, I highly recommend making Acadia National Park your top stop. Often called the crown jewel of the region, Acadia completely blew me away with its rugged beauty. You’ll find the highest rocky headlands along the Eastern seaboard here, and if you love being outdoors like I do, you’ll be thrilled to know there are more than 150 miles of hiking trails to explore. I also loved biking or walking the 45 miles of historic carriage roads—complete with 16 beautiful bridges that feel straight out of a postcard.
If you’re wondering where to stay nearby, I’ve put together a list of my favorite mountain-style hotels, cozy inns, and lodges. Whether you're going for romance, traveling on a budget, or splurging on something special, you’ll find a great match below.
