What do you guys do for work? Western Maine is nice, Bethel, Farmington, over to Augusta and south if you want inland. Camden and south if you want the coast. Anything much further north...is going to be pretty limited interms of nice towns (jobs) and access to the highway.

You need to come up for a long weekend and check out all 3. All are remote...this is a good time of year to come see them as it will be the "worst" time of year as far as weather goes. Not sure your going to find that "small town" community in any of those locations...
