Nestled in Nature

The house was very clean with a well-stocked kitchen and other amenities such as paper towels, nice quality toilet paper, enough dish soap, shampoo, and extra blankets. Property was also landscaped beautifully and was an easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia as our main attractions, but we also enjoyed the town of Ellsworth to stock up on groceries or for a coffee before heading out. Air conditioning was easy to use so we always felt comfortable. When I booked the trip in March, I regretted not booking sooner since I couldn’t locate anything in Bar Harbor, but now I’m glad I stayed in Hancock and would stay in the house again if we.are in the area. Also, some, perhaps older, reviews mentioned there was not a TV large enough for family view ing, but we did have a large Smart TV in the living room. Very enjoyable!

A great VRBO with a very responsive property manager

Really enjoyed this place. Lots of room and clean. About a 30-40 minute drive to the entrance to Acadia National Park. Susan, the property manager was very responsive. The only thing that prevented a five star rating was that we were expecting three FULL bathrooms, based on the original listing, but there were only two full bathrooms. The third was just a toilet and utility sink connected to one of the bedrooms. Grill also didn’t fire up with enough heat to use—might have a been a propane line problem, so we had to bake fish in the oven instead of grilling. Other than that, it’s a great place.

Close to Acadia but not on the island

This was a nice house to stay in with all the amenities that we needed. The bedrooms were large enough for my family and there were nice gathering spaces including a large deck outside. It's close enough to Acadia that it was a relatively short drive whenever we wanted to hike in the National Park or visit Bar Harbor. Not a ton of things to do in Hancock itself, but it made for a nice relaxing vacation for us. My dad appreciated the Downeast Scenic Roadway (he's a train guy) which is the one (major) thing that is in Hancock. We did take a puffin tour which was a fair distance from Hancock but it was worth it! Puffins, loons, seals and other wildlife.

Wonderful Stay in Beautiful Maine

You could not beat the location of this lovely home. 30 minutes drive to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We loved swimming from one of the local beaches and can also recommend Echo Lake for swimming. Very responsive to any issues and can’t recommend enough.

Nice house in a great setting

The location of the house is wonderful -- surrounded by nature but a short drive to local stores and amenities. The property manager was helpful and responsive. Getting in and out of the house was a breeze. Comfortable furniture and beds. We only had minor complaints. The living room TV was useless because it was not hooked into cable, antenna, wifi, or anything else; the only TV that worked was a tiny one in one of the bedrooms. There could have been a few more pillows and drinking glasses. The propane tank ran out of gas and we had to run to the store to get more. All in all, though, a great place that we recommend.

Great quiet spot ideally located

We wanted to have our own space and this home provided that for the five of us. It was ideally located between the main more frequently visited part of Acadia and the Schoodic peninsula (more low key but equally as beautiful). The manager was wonderful at communicating and responded quickly each time we reached out.

FINALLY

After eight years or so looking for the ideal spot on the Maine coast for a vacation, we have finally found it. This is the perfect location for us to get to restaurants, events and attractions. It is about 30 minutes to Bar Harbor, Winter Harbor and less than that to Blue Hill, if so inclined. If ones turns left out of the driveway, one is in the middle of Ellsworth in a few minutes. If one turns right, Route One in minutes away. But, the house is in an extremely quiet setting. This is ideal for comfort: clean, spacious with three bedrooms, 2 and a half baths on one floor. AND it is 1.1 miles away from the best cheesecake in the universe. (Of course, that is both good news and bad news.) The people in charge are easy to contact, both by message or phone. They are extremely responsive! Early in the rental process we had loads of questions and they patiently helped with the answers. Considering the central location, the price was very reasonable. Stay here again? No brainer, absolutely YES!
