Sitting atop York County, you just might have a hard time finding Cornish when looking at a road map of the state of Maine. Tucked midway between the coastal town of Portland and the picturesque Mt. Washington Valley of New Hampshire, you'll see it's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. At this point, you might look at your traveling buddy and say, "Let's go along the coast instead." Well, that doesn't bother us much. It helps keep our town quaint and very accessible to those who know better! After all, there's a very good reason why Cornish was rated second best small town in Maine*!!

Our quaint and very accessible little town has so much to offer. Come sample our great food, visit our unique crafts and antique shops, or simply take a leisurely stroll along our nearby rivers, lakes and hillsides. And don't forget to attend our annual fall apple festival & other exciting areawide events, including our summer concerts by world-renowned chamber musicians.

More and more people journey out this way...perhaps it's because they appreciate the relaxed comfort of our 3-diamond rated motel, or the spacious RV campground along the Saco River, or the exquisite rooms of our 19th century country inn. For whatever reason they come, people seem to like it enough to even move their home or business here! Now isn't that something!!! So, come and visit Cornish. You'll be glad you did!
