CAMP IN NATURE WITH A BIT OF STYLE Vinalhaven is an unabridged island off the coast of Maine brimming with beautiful views, magical hiking trails (literally everywhere!), fresh water quarries to swim, lobsters right off the boat and a peaceful quiet that settles any restless soul.

HIKING: You can discover many of the trails owned and managed by the Vinalhaven Land Trust on their app. Search 'VHtrails' in app store. After you book, I'll send you everything you'll want to know about your stay on the island. BIKING: The island is bike friendly. It is approximately 23 square miles. *I do recommend experienced bike riders only, as there are no biking lanes on the island. You are sharing a rural, winding road with cars. DOGS: We are dog-friendly. Please know, the property is not gated. If you bring a dog, please know it will need to be on a leash and tied up when outside. If you leave the dog in the tent when you go out, it will need to be placed in its crate. Thank you.
