Fabulous Rental

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!

Gorgeous view

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.

Good Times in Maine

The property was as advertised - a beautiful place on the bay near Acadia National Park. The views were amazing, and sitting on the deck overlooking it all was fabulous. We made good use of the kitchen and laundry facilities while we were there, and the beds were comfortable. Judy was very communicative and easy to work with. We would stay here again!

Best cottage

We absolutely loved the cottage. It was in a great location and easy to get to Bar Harbor and Schoodic Point! The wrap around deck was fantastic and we saw so much wildlife right there at the cottage every day. The eagles and the harbor seals were some of our favorites! Judy had flowers in every room which just added to the charm. She was a gem!

Beautiful location

Hancock cottage was quiet, serene, and lovely. It is a special place to truly unwind. The water views are breathtaking. We loved watching the birds and the sparkly water and the seal that visits at high tide. The beds are very comfortable and kitchen is adequately stocked. The home is actually quite spacious and open and very bright. We plan on booking next year !

Cottage on the water in Hancock

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.

A Grand Estuary

This lovely cottage was the perfect location for a pair of old romantics interested in the natural world. The secluded estuary was teeming with life from the roses surrounding the cottage to beautiful fresh bouquets inside. We were entertained daily by a pair of eagles flying within 6 feet of the deck, a few seals at low tide, and schools of Menhaden dancing atop the water. We enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to return in the Springtime.
