About Mainehaus

Mainehaus is a guide to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and the coast and islands north of them. We write for people who want to see this place well and leave it better than they found it.

Preservation

Acadia sees more than 4 million visits a year. We point people toward trails, timing, and habits that ease that pressure, and we're honest when a spot is already overloaded.

Community

The towns around the park are year-round homes, not a backdrop. We cover the local businesses, ferry islands, and quieter villages with respect for the people who live there.

Natural beauty

Granite peaks, cobble beaches, and dark night skies are why you come. Our job is to help you find the moments worth the trip.

Giving back

We support the local groups that care for this land. Read about them on our Give Back page.
