Hotels near Knox County Regional Airport - RKD, Rockland

The cottage was private considering it was right on the main road. Very convenient to everything in the area. Beautiful sunrises and the evening deck was pleasant with the ocean views. Very light and airy with all the windows. Very comfortable furnishings. We’d definitely rent it again!

Lobster Fest , the location of shopping and the Coast Guard station were great experiences. Home Kitchen for breakfast was awesome, the only bad part it is really the only good breakfast place. The Views were very nice.

A lovely town with very friendly people. Most things are within easy walking distance - eateries, galleries, museums, and shopping are on the block near the waterfront. It's a short drive to the lighthouses. Due to delays in my flights, I really only was able to eat and shop one full day in the area. I enjoyed Ruckus Donuts and coffee and went to Rustica for dinner. The Dowling Walsh Gallery is a lovely visit. A visit to the Owl Head and Breakwater Lighthouses are musts! I drove to Camden as well and enjoyed a few hours on the Schooner Appledore.

Rockland is a great spot as a base to see other mid coast areas. Prices are modest and there's a nice harbor, nice downtown, and a few museums to visit. We enjoyed many of the local restaurants such as Claws, Archer's on the Pier, Home Kitchen Cafe, and Landings Seafood. In South Thomaston McLoon's Lobster Shack is a great stop. There are a couple of nearby lighthouses to see such as Owls Head and Rockland Breakwater Light.

Rockland area was great - lots to do but best to go before oct 1st as lots of shops and attractions and restaurants are closed for the season or open for reduced hours after that - if you go for a long weekend after that choose late week rather than early as many shops and restaurants close on Monday and Tuesday. Many downtown streets are 1-way including Main St and most side streets - get your bearings during daylight hours and pick up a town map in the lobby of your hotel

Rockland is a beautiful little town, The Rock Harbor Pub and Brewery is a good place to stop for some great food. My visit was mainly for The Maine Lighthouse Museum which i was not disappointed in, i spent over 3 hours in there, so if you are as interested in Lighthouses and their histories like i am then it is the Lighthouse version of Disneyland. I will return to Rockland as i unfortunately missed out on visiting The Matinicus Rock Light. It also has many restaurants.
