This overnight stay in one of the most adorable little villages in the state is worth checking out. And the accommodations might just be the most unique you've experienced.
The building that now houses the Owls Head Post Office was originally a barn in the 1800s on an island nearby. And it's been the Owls Head working post office since 1931! Today, it's completely renovated and upstairs you'll find the most adorable vacation rental.
While the downstairs is an actual working post office, upstairs is completely insulated from any noise. The loft space has been completely renovated and exudes exactly the kind of Maine charm you're looking for.
And the bunk beds in the lookout tower above will make you feel like you're spending the night in a treehouse. Kids love this feature and, ahem, so do some adults.
Your stay comes with two kayaks to explore the waters around Owls Head. You'll also be within minutes of Camden and Rockland offering great food and even more outdoor activities.
But our favorite outdoor activity might just be enjoying the terraced gardens behind the post office. There are chairs, decks, and lots of chances to enjoy the breeze right here. Make yourself dinner, head to the deck and take in the flowers and sunset during this exceptionally unique stay in Maine!
The Owls Head Village Post Office is between $250 and $180 per night depending on the time of year. Summer will be more expensive, but the price drops as soon as the summer season ends.

In The Trees is a wonderful collection of treehouses of many shapes and sizes in western Maine which is not just a great vacation stay, but there's an 18-hole mountainside disc golf course that will make your stay a fun adventure.
The biggest treehouse available here is called The Grand Oak and it has intriguing cordwood construction and spans 1,200 square feet and two stories. It can accommodate eight people and has a full kitchen, a wraparound deck, a wood stove, and even a jacuzzi. With heating and A/C, you can bring the whole family here any time of the year.
The next biggest stay is The Spruce Suite which can sleep four people. It’s 15 feet off the ground and is a nice romantic option with a private deck, a loft with a comfy queen bed, a small kitchen, a fire pit and grill, and a couple of futons for extra guests.
Next up is The Birdie which is an adorable little treehouse that’s as cute as its name. This is a more primitive, off-grid experience that sleeps four people. It doesn’t have its own running water but there is 12v power available and an outhouse just steps away. It’s more secluded than the other spots so it makes for a wonderfully secluded getaway.
If you’re looking for something closer to the ground, there are two A-frame small cabins named The Bogey and The Beech. These offer a rustic and primitive stay that’s kind of like a wooden tent. The Bogey has two twin-size cots inside and The Beech has one queen size bed. Each has 12v solar-powered electricity and an outhouse as well as a fire pit, and a patio with chairs and a small table.
The mountainside disc golf course is a rugged and adventurous course with 18 holes and is free if you are staying at In The Trees. It spans 26 acres and you’ll be playing among old-growth birch and oak trees and quartz boulders. There are trailheads and overlooks along the course and hewn-log benches to rest on.
You’ll truly love the scenic vistas here and the misty sunrises and serene sunsets are absolutely splendid. You’re sure to have a great time staying here whether in a treetop lap of luxury or a rustic A-frame getaway.
