Home Away from Home

We appreciated the roomy space for the four of us and our dog. The location served us well for going to Acadia/Bar Harbor and the Schoodic Peninsula. Pickled Wrinkle was a great lunch spot. Hancock Point was lovely for short and long walks as well as bike rides.
Fourth of July view from the point (short walk from the house)

Nice, other than: no view to speak of, musty towels, tv incapable of showing programs or movies without constantly reloading, just not viewable. House needs wall and ceiling repairs. Grand piano is missing several keys which was an important factor in choosing this house.

Property is not as pictured online. Lots of old and worn furniture and many personal items remain in the home. We felt like we broke into a house when a family was away instead of renting a VRBO. There is a very small view around the trees of Frenchmen’s Bay instead of what the listing showed. Freezer would hardly open. Beds were comfortable. We did appreciate the helpful hints on traveling backroads to Acadia Natl Park.

Lovely stay!

This was a nice quiet place to stay during our trip. It provided us good access to both parts of Acadia and some hidden gems we hadn’t previously know about, like Tidal Falls Preserve. The house was very spacious, clean, and well-appointed. We had a lovely stay!

Spacious and Comfortable

We really enjoyed our stay in Hancock. The location is very central close to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park and Schoodic. We slept comfortably for a party of 7. Note the last bed is actually the sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen is a main draw it's very well stocked and appointed. Everything you need to cook meals. The owners also provided a binder of great tips and recommendations.The house doesn't have AC but it's cool at night with the windows open.The owner is very attentive and responds right away.

We loved our stay at this lovely home! Short walk to the ocean. We got to enjoy many beautiful sunrises. The dogs enjoyed playing in the yard. Was the perfect location, not far from Acadia, but far enough away from all the traffic and tourists!
