Vacationland, Maine’s nickname, makes it clear that this is the type of place that’s perfect for a getaway. Whether you live here and have your go-to spots for a vacation or if you’re from away and make plans months in advance, there’s a spot for everyone to enjoy. Once the summer is over, though, crowds thin out with the expectation that the best of visiting is over. But those who love Maine know that in autumn things are just getting good! If you believe the same, this is a great place to spend a few beautiful days.

Flood’s Cove in Friendship is one of those places that people return to year after year.

And by “year-after-year” we mean 90 of them! This family-friendly, family-owned cottage resort has been in business for that long so they must be doing something right.

There are seven cottages all sitting on the coast, with water views and plenty of room.

While they’re all historic, the insides are contemporary, updated, and full of light.

The insides are lovely, but it’s the outside that we love best. Overlooking the water, this is a great place to enjoy coffee or tea with a Maine breeze.

There’s no denying that this place is a beauty in the summer, but it’s a stay during autumn that truly sets it apart.

The foliage here is stunning and it seemingly comes out all at once.

Every view is another spectacular reminder that Maine is spectacular year-round.

And if updated cottages overlooking the ocean aren’t your style, consider taking advantage of one of their oceanside campgrounds.
