My wife and I are arriving in Portland, Maine mid June for a 5 night getaway. We're looking to stay on the coast and try 2-3 cities, eat delicious food, relax, do a few activities (museums, history, downtown exploring, hikes). We're pretty set on Cliff House for two nights, any recommendations for the other three? We've ruled out Bar Harbor as a bit too far and while I wouldn't rule out a day trip for hiking it's not a priority vs dealing with crowds or a 4 hour round trip driving.

I appreciate any recommendations, even if not quite Chubby if it's a great place with a fantastic view.

$1000/night or target, but flexible.
