Great location and view!

Gorgeous views of the cove! Many eagles to see. Only down side is kayaking is at the mercy of tides. Loved the property, amenities, and area.

We had a great time and this wonderful property. Stan was very responsive and helpful. The house is beautiful and the location and view on the water can’t be beat. We had 12 and had plenty of room to not be on top of each other. The kayaks were a great bonus.

Great family vacation home

Nice, large home perfect for our family consisting of six adults and five young men ages 14-20. Nicely furnished and kitchen equipped with everything we needed, including all the equipment we needed for our lobster dinner. Another bathroom would have been nice for the 11 of us, but we managed. We didn’t get to use the kayaks much because of the tide situation, which we’re not used to. A lot of wildlife was seen including the eagle whose nest was close to the house. Great, central location away from the crowds. Enjoyed quiet Schoodic Peninsula and the SW Harbor area, Ellsworth, as well as crowded Bar Harbor, Loop Road, Cadillac Mtn.

This is our 5th family (8-10 total) vacation and this was the best. House was awesome with activities for everyone in our group. The furniture was very comfortable with plenty of options. The kitchen was equipped with more than normal accessories and supplies. Beds were comfortable with multiple king size beds. Numerous outside activities for all ages. Location was perfect for Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Nice selection of restaurants and great lobster. If you are coming to Maine give this location a try!

Roomy, family friendly

Lots of room, very comfortable for a family. Absolutely enchanting to watch the birds as the tide changes. Wonderful outdoor area, but The cable railing on the deck wasn’t safe for our toddler. The cables were loose and spaced very far apart.

Beautiful setting!

We came for a week with our adult children. The setting is gorgeous, right on the water and surrounded by beautiful trees. Waking up in the morning and looking out at that view was just heavenly! The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed using the grill and the fire pit outside. The deck was a beautiful place to sit and have coffee. We liked that there were enough king beds for everyone. The owner was very responsive to whatever questions we had. Check in and out was easy. This house is a great spot for being with family and going into Acadia and Bar Harbor!

Year #2, going for#3

We had as good a time this year as we did last year in this wonderful home. The location, amenities, layout and price were perfect for out multi generational family. This year we discovered Marlborough Beach, a lovely and secluded alternative to Lamoine Beach, also very nice. We re-enjoyed Blunts Pond with pool floats this time. Thirsty Whale in BH and Jordan's up the road. We are booked for next year and can't wait! Thanks Stan and Theresa!!!

Wonderful House/Great Hosts!

This was our family's second time staying in this wonderful house. Very comfortable and VERY clean. Plenty of towels. Two kitchens! Which was a blessing for our family as we have two family members with celiac disease and we were able to maintain one of the kitchens completely safe and gluten free. Everything you could need for cooking is available in the kitchens. Two laundry areas. Plenty of kayaks and life jackets. The hot tub is awesome! Hosts have also provided many games and activities for guests. Hosts are local and quick to respond to any guest needs or questions. As we were leaving, 5 year old said, "I want to come back to this house!" We'll be back! Thanks Stan and Theresa! 😊

An Amazing House for a large family vacation!

This house blew us away when we pulled up. The house is located in such a private area; it was very relaxing. My husband and I along with my 2 boys (ages 2-6) stayed along with my in-laws, 2 sister-in-laws and their husbands along with their 4 kids (ages 9-4-4-9mos) and my grandmother-in-law and uncle. That's a lot of ppl. 10 adults and 6 kids are we fit perfectly. Not cramped at all. The huge game room downstairs was great for the kids. Its large enough for the to run around and be silly. There is plenty of sleeping areas, but the downstairs is large enough if u want to throw a few air mattresses down. The 5 bedrooms were amazing; 4 with king beds and plenty of storage. My boys slept in the large king bed with us just fine but there are futons in the downstairs game room for kids as well. The 3 full bathrooms were great and worked out perfectly. The kitchen was awesome and large enough to have a few adults in there at once preparing meals. We cooked almost every night there and all the appliances and kitchen utensils were great. The owners really do provide everything. The family room was a big surprise with soo many nice large leather recliners which made watching a movie very relaxing. The deck was peaceful and enjoyable all hours of the day. We enjoyed the firepit several nights and the hot tub was a fantastic feature that we all enjoyed. All the beds were very comfy and had a tv in each bedroom (I believe). Our bedroom in particular had a Blu-ray dvd player as well. The extra kitchen and living room downstairs worked great for the kids. They could watch their kid movies down there and we can watch the adult movies upstairs. The owners even provided a baby grate for the downstairs steps which helped a lot of the two youngest kids. The lake was peaceful and although I personally did not go on the kayak, my husband and son did (along with others) and they said it was an enjoyable time. Everything about this house was just sooo perfect. Loved the location too with bar harbor and Acadia National park not far at all. We also enjoyed a nice family night out at the lumberjack show. I hope to stay here again!!! Thank you!!

Great to have the hot tub on windy cold nights. Plenty of room for the 8 of us, Easy access to Acadia, Bar Harbor and Ellsworth. If you love the outdoors and want to come home to a nice cozy house with lots of games, and activities or just to relax, this is the spot.

We had a great stay. Thank you for allowing us to rent your place. The weather was perfect. We had plenty of space and the game room downstairs was great. The only change I would suggest is removing the photo and description of the dock leading out to the water. There is no dock/platform any longer and getting the boats out when the tide is receding is a bit of a challenge without a dock to walk on. Other than that everything was perfect and we had a great time. Thank you.

Huge Hancock House for Large Groups

This was the perfect property for our family trip. With 12 in our group there was something for everyone (kayaks, hot tub, fire pit, pool table, ping pong, and arcade games), and two kitchens and laundry rooms were very handy. Maine is gorgeous and Acadia National Park is stunning. Get there early to beat the crowds. Take the half hour drive to the Schoodic Peninsula (part of Acadia NP) but away from the crowds. Of course, the fresh lobster and seafood were delicious as expected. Thank you, Stan, for communicating so timely and helping us with several activity decisions.

Did everything we wanted!

Great house, perfect for 4 couples and 1 adult child. Everyone had their own space. The yard is the star: took advantage of the ocean front, kayak/canoes, fire pit, and view from the porch. Internet was great, we had 1 person working from the home's office on zoom meetings. Perfect location, far enough from the busyness of Bar Harbor, but easy to get in when needed. Half way between Schoodic and main Acadia. Downtown Ellsworth is so close for small downtown strolling and eating.
