Judy is an amazing host! She makes personal phone calls to make sure everything is perfect. She also provides great ideas for places see and restaurants. The house was clean and the view off the deck was amazing! Truly recommend staying in this residence.
The view from the house was amazing. Cant beat the location. Mornings and evenings sitting out on the deck were so relaxing. Highly recommend this house if visiting Acadia area.
The cottage was adorable, clean and thoughtfully laid out. It was very roomy for our family of four, so we each had our own bedroom; There are 3 bedrooms but my son, who is small chose to use the extra tv room with the futon as his room. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen as we like to do most of our own cooking. Our favorite thing was the view from almost every room, the ocean was greeting us morning and night. It was a perfect peaceful retreat from our busy days exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. We were close enough to everything we wanted to do, and away from the hustle and bustle, yet grocery stores and restaurants within easy reach too. The host was very attentive to our needs. We did reach out once as we couldn’t figure out how to turn the gas fireplace on, and she sent her handyman out the same day. We also noticed another home next door that could be rented out as well, and thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for a larger family to rent the both of them. If we were to come back to the area, I would definitely look for this cottage again.
Great cottage to stay at. The ability to wake up to experience the cove and comfort of this location was simply amazing. I would recommend this location to anyone who wants to explore Acadia National Park.
My husband and I have always wanted to enjoy Maine in the fall. We couldn’t have been happier with the property and its location. It was perfect for the two of us and the view from the deck was gorgeous!! We would definitely stay again and highly recommend. Judy was a wonderful hostess as well.
The deck has the most gorgeous view of bay. Got to see some wildlife right from the deck. It in a great location not too far from a national park. I got to say it’s one of the best places I’ve stayed in the last three years I’ve been renting.
The cottage was exactly as posted, more beautiful in person. Clean and adequately stocked.
Judy was an Excellent host, she checked in on us to see if we needed anything, very friendly and offered suggestions for our stay.
I definitely recommend this place.
We absolutely loved this home. It was spacious - even bigger than it appears in the photos. The landlord was extremely responsive and helpful. The location is amazing - with several outdoor seating areas. It is so close to the ocean you feel you are aboard a boat when it is high tide. You can walk onto the beach from the house, through the yard, in about 30 seconds. Highly. recommend!
While Hancock is a drive to Bar Harbor, the cottage had an amazing view of the water (and night sky/stars) and all supplies necessary to enjoy our stay. The owner, Judy, recommended a lobsterman that brought fresh lobsters right to our door for a very reasonable price. We hiked, biked and kayaked for a fun, outdoor vacation…and even took in a beautiful sunrise from the deck of the cottage.
My wife and I stayed here for our first stay in Maine. The property is within 45 minutes of so many hikes and things to do that aren't even inside Acadia National Park. The highlight was Judy's friend Bob. We called him up and he was able to hand deliver a couple of Lobsters that he had caught that morning in the dense fog for us to cook up that night. The cottage is old and you can tell but it just adds to the charm of the coastal Maine experience. Judy was great at communicating and making sure we knew that if we needed anything she would be available to fix it. I don't think we could have enjoyed our stay more unless the weather had been a little clearer but can't control that!
We enjoyed staying at the cottage. The location was tough to beat. We watched seals play from the porch, osprey snatching fish from the water, and eagles soaring above the surf.
The kitchen was well stocked. We had all we needed for cooking and cleaning. Our host was responsive to our needs when supplies needed to be replenished. Our host was attentive and lovely.
The cottage is cute, but it needed some deeper cleaning. We may have been the first guests in awhile, for the place needed some airing out. It had a strong odor and there was evidence of mice, especially in the basement bathroom. This may be an uncomfortable place to stay for people with intense allergies.
That said, it met our needs and we enjoyed our stay.
Words cannot accurately describe the beauty of this property. Located right on the ocean, the views are spectacular and we enjoyed every minute we spent here, taking in the sunrises and watching the lobster boats in Frenchman's Bay. We loved staying in Hancock, which is a nice distance from all the places we love to visit when in Maine Chippers Restaurant is right down the road and my husband enjoyed the Lobster Alfredo immensely. We find ourselves in Ellsworth and Bar Harbor often when we visit and this location provides a tranquility away from all the hustle. Judy is a wonderful hostess - very friendly, accommodating, and accessible. We very much appreciate any host who makes their property available to pets as well. While we have a pet sitter at home for our other cats, we were able to travel with our special needs cats. This provided a peace of mind for us and a memorable adventure for them. Thanks, Judy, for a wonderful week! Would highly recommend this house/location to anyone looking for the authentic Maine experience.
The house was clean and comfortable. The views were beautiful and sitting on the porch watching the seals and birds were very relaxing. Overall, great place to stay.
