Exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet, relaxing and beautiful. We fell in love with Maine and this house was the perfect location to explore. Easy to get to Acadia National Park and plenty of fun local places to eat.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. The location was fantastic—peaceful, quiet, and with beautiful views and easy access to the Cove, which made for some great outdoor time. The house itself was spacious and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably.The host was very responsive and easy to contact, which we appreciated.There were a couple of drawbacks worth noting: we had some trouble with fruit flies during our stay, likely due to the season, and the living room furniture wasn’t the most comfortable. There was also a noticeable dog odor on the furniture Overall, the positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and with a few small updates, this place could be truly outstanding.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
