The house is located on a beautiful bay with gorgeous sunrises and moonrises. The outside firepit and chairs were lovely. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and pots to enjoy fresh steamed lobsters at a great price.

We had an incredible stay in Hancock. The views of the bay were amazing. The kids had the whole beach to themselves, and had a blast rock hunting and splashing in the ocean. Judy made the entire check-in process easy, and was so helpful when booking. Our first visit to Maine was a memorable one!

Good location for trips to Mount Desert and Acadia, Penobscot Bay towns or farther Downeast to Lubec and West Quoddy Head Lighthouse (eastern most point of USA). The hostess, Judy, was very friendly and responsive to any issue. Beautiful sunrise views of the cove from MBR and Living Room bay windows. Our dogs loved running on the rocky beach and swimming in the cove.

Family vac for ANP

The house sat right on Frenchman’s bay. A beautiful view each day. The location was perfect for us to access both parts of ANP. Lots of great food choices in the area. We went to Tracy’s 2x.

Beautiful place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hancock House! Can't beat the views. We enjoyed sitting outside around the fire while looking over the water. There are some tasty restaurants a short drive away. We also enjoyed the schoodic side of Acadia which was much less busy.

Enjoyable stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Hancock Point. Cabin was spacious, clean, comfortable and had a great view. Judy was accessible and readily answered questions/concerns both before & during our stay. While it is a drive to get to Acadia, it is still easy to get to the park and also close to restaurants. We appreciated being someplace where it was peaceful and quiet. We'd definitely stay here again should we visit the area.

Mother/Son vacation

Beautiful location overlooking the bay. Sun rises were beautiful each morning with a seal visitor one day! 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor, Acadia park-a must see and about 10 from Schoodic point (also Acadia park) and also a must see! Judy was super nice and had everything ready including fresh flowers upon our arrival!

Great trip

We enjoyed our stay at Judy’s place. Judy is very attentive. House is great, view is wonderful. Recommend renting/bringing kayaks as it’s a wonderful place for them. Close enough to all the real popular tourist stuff, but far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle. Was perfect for us.
