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!

Fall in Maine

Excellent stay! Cozy house in beautiful surroundings. Whole family loved having a fire pit near the water!! Host had fresh flowers in every room. This was an unexpected delight! I would happily book this house again. Our family included myself, 4 grandkids in their twenties and a two year old.

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.

Perfect for a family trip

House is right off the rocky beach with low tides that allow for scavenger hunts in the shallows. House is kid friendly, didn’t feel like our 6 year old would break stuff. Brought kayaks and could access the coastline. Didn’t see many other folks during our stay. Easy drive to Acadia and other fun spots. Small cottage next door would make a good larger group stay easy since the properties share the outdoor space and beach access.

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.

This property had everything we needed. It was very Clean, and well stocked with items you would not think of (aluminum foil,etc). I would recommend this to everyone, and if we go to Maine again, we will definitely reserved this house.

Wonderful Stay

When we arrived we were greeted by Judy , the owner. She was very pleasant & made us feel very welcomed. The is situated on Frenchman’s Bay. What a view from the living room & bedroom. The sunrise each morning was just beautiful. The house was very comfortable & had everything you needed to have an enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

This is a great property and place to vacation in Maine. Great owner, extremely clean, all the amenities you would want and a view to die for .Close to restaurants and less than an hour to Bar Harbor and Acadia .Great to sit back , relax and enjoy the view. Would highly recommend this to family and friends.

Our favorite place in Maine

We have tried to vacation in Maine every year for a while. After staying in beautiful Belfast several times, we decided we wanted to be closer to Acadia and Bar Harbor. My wife found this place in Hancock, and it's our very favorite. We have been here three times, and are already thinking about the fourth, in 2020! You can't beat it for comfort, views and location.

Incredible view

The view is incredible. We watched harbor seals, Eagles and loons each morning in front of the property. Bar Harbor is approximately 40 min drive and the same to the much quieter schoodic part of acadia. We had a few small issues on arrival but Judy was quick to work with us and did here best to resolve the issues. The beach is rocky as noted in the discription but full of shells and sea glass. A peaceful place to walk in the morning. If looking for a quiet place this is a good one.

Excellent location with gorgeous view

Nice three bedroom with incredible views from the living room and master bedroom! A beautiful 45 minute drive to Arcadia National Park. During low tide you can walk down by the water. Lots of colors on the trees and the reflection off the water was amazing. Great communication with owner! She responded quickly and it was all taken care of.

Great view and quiet out of the way property.

I loved the experience We had in Maine. Beautiful house and view. The owner is very thoughtful. The only thing that would make it better it to have a king size bed in the master and they should absolutely build a deck on the second level. It would make the outside space more enjoyable. Overall a great place!

Peaceful Rest

Nice area about 8 miles from Ellsworth. The property has all of the standard amenities. Deck outside has a good size propane grill. The views all look out onto the cove. It’s about 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park out on Mount Desert Island. Southwest Harbor is another place to visit with our favorite coffee shop Milagro. Call ahead and try to get a seat at Harbor Table SW. Helen’s in Ellsworth very tasty with a selection of eats for everyone.

Beautiful place with plenty of room

We had a great stay at this beautiful house. Fresh flowers cut for us in every room! Loved walking the beach and kayaking in the cove. I do have a 4 year old and it wasn't the most kid friendly house. Lots of breakable objects around, no lock on the basement door, and no kid dishes. Other than that, it was a perfect place for us!

Beautiful and relaxing!

We stayed here for 4th of July week and it was just perfect! Clean, comfortable, and with views to die for. If you can wake up early enough, don’t miss the sunrise. You can see it from the comfort of the living room or the master bedroom. Close enough to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and the Schoodic Peninsula to enjoy activities for the day but then get away from the crowds and enjoy some peace and quiet. Our 2 teens with diverse interests both had a great time. We biked, kayaked, fished, hiked, and ate some great food. Our little terrier mix enjoyed herself, too! The property owner gave us great tips for local activities and eateries and even provided us with a contact to bring fresh lobster from the boat right to our door! Such a great place to stay, would gladly go back!

Absolutely wonderful home

We could not have been happier with the home and its location. This home is right on the water and you can sit and watch the tide come in and go out. Almost every night we had a fire in the fire pit and listened to the waves hit the rocks. Amazing! We also collected many shells when walking the beach. The views are great from the home, too. We had a stormy day and were able to relax and watch out of the windows. Kitchen is large and has all the amenities for cooking. There is a local fisherman that will bring you fresh lobster. All the beds were comfortable and the master bedroom upstairs has a wonderful sitting area and huge windows all around. Overall, I highly recommend this home. We were extremely pleased.

Beautiful house, beautiful location!

My family had a wonderful time during our stay. The house was in a great location. It was right on the water with access very close for us to walk down and drop in our kayaks. The veiw of the bay was amazing and could be seen from several large windows! The house was very inviting, especially the master bedroom! The house is along the road but it is a quiet road, everyone in the area we encountered was very friendly. It took about 45 minutes to get to Bar Harbor and 1 hour to the tails we hiked in Acadia (MDI) and about 20 minutes to get to Schoodic part of Acadia. The ride is really easy though and we knew this when we booked! There are a number of things to do locally too! Look up the Frenchman Bay Conservancy! The owner was amazing and was always available! It was great to be able to reach her when we had questions. I would definitely recommend!
