The rest of the country doesn’t refer to Maine as “Vacationland” for no reason. This is the best place to spend a few nights away from home! And the best part is that you don’t even need to be from away to feel like you’re escaping from the every day. In fact, exploring our own state is one of the best ways to get a little closer to home. And this totally unique Airbnb is a great way to do it.

Welcome to…the middle of nowhere! At least that’s how it will feel when you arrive at this very special restored caboose in Carrabassett Valley.

The caboose is 100 years old and comes from the Maine Central railway. It took a whopping seven years to restore it using its original features.
