I also hate Maine. It's a popular vacation get-away destination but:
1. Most of it is too damn flat and boring. Driving to Acadia National Forest is a six hour drive through the exact same boring-ass, flat slightly windy, heavily treed, completely flat ****ing highway. It's like what I imagine the worst parts of Iowa or Kansas are like but instead of corn, it's just ****ing endless trees.
2. It's boring. Sure, if you want to go somewhere and do literally NOTHING, it's great. But if you want to do ANYTHING, you're pretty well ****ed.
You want relaxing and slow, but with some options, go to freaking New Hampshire. Maine is Portland (great for a 3 day weekend, like once, but then you're out of things to do), with a desert wasteland around it, but instead of sand, it's just flat, boring ass trees.
Bah Hahbah (Bar Harbor) isn't bad -- for like an extended weekend -- but the six hour drive through TreeHell is a pretty high price for a New England town atmosphere with extra tourist trap fixings. I can go nearly anywhere along the shore to get that, without driving so far and without the side order of massive tourist trap.
