In the early spring, “Southern Maine” was one of the most-searched home destinations on Airbnb when it wasn’t fairly clear which international locations can be opening their borders. And with good reason—this is cabin nation par excellence, with low-key townships dotting the craggy shoreline all the means in which up to Canada. Skip the Hamptons this summer and head upstate the place a panoply of recent motels continues to breathe new life into the Catskills, Hudson Valley, and beyond. My favorite place to visit in Augusta is the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area. You can take a ride along the canal and youngsters can get a taste of what life was like for teenagers in the factories by seeing how briskly they will replace the spools on the manufacturing line.
