This place exceeded our expectations, close to the park and close to Bar Harbor but far enough out to not be covered with tourists. Would absolutely stay here again!!
Very nice cabin. Just right for two people. Ideal location close to anything you might be looking for. Acadia National Park is just minutes away.
We had a very enjoyable time.
Very cozy place with a well stocked room. Love the fire pit and hammock. Just a short drive into town, but away from the hustle and bustle. The host was very attentive to our needs.
Adorable cottage with convenience of small kitchen. Good location outside of busy town. Bed and pillows could be improved. Owner was nice and made check in so easy.

I had a wonderful one-night stay at Hanscom Cottages & Motel! The room was clean, cozy, and surprisingly spacious. It was very pet-friendly, which made traveling with my pups so much easier. Check-in and check-out were quick and seamless, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. It was only a 7-min drive to Acadia NP!
I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay!
This was the second time we stayed here and it was just as wonderful this time around. It’s so clean and cute!! There’s a great fire pit outside - you’d be hard pressed to find a better place to stay in the area!
