If you’ve ever explored New England, you’re probably familiar with Acadia National Park in Maine. Established in 1916, it’s the oldest American national park east of the Mississippi River and one of the most popular, welcoming more than 4 million visitors each year. And just like the park’s many recreational offerings, there are a wide range of Acadia National Park cabins, hotels, inns, and campsites to suit every stay.

Acadia National Park is a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike, with its woodlands, lakes, mountains, and ocean shoreline. And with just under 50,000 acres of land, there’s more than enough to explore — from more than 2,000 coastal acres on Isle au Haut to beautiful sunrises viewed from Cadillac Mountain. For those who love wildlife, plants, greenery, and adventure, Acadia National Park is unquestionably a great place to check out. And with so many special things to see, there’s no reason your accommodations shouldn’t be, too! For a rustic wilderness experience that’s a step up from camping, here are some of our favorite rental cabins in close proximity to all the hiking, biking, kayaking, and exploring you can imagine.
