Four day stay

Property is a little close to major traffic. Hot water for showers needs major maintenance. It’s time to change out two chairs for something comfortable. The staff was amazing. The outside seating areas were great (just had too much traffic noise.

A gem near Acadia

This is a great place to stay. It is close to the entrance to Acadia National Park. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and are decorated nicely, with a very cute retro mini fridge and microwave. I loved the wallpaper. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, and the shelves in the bathroom were an unexpected plus. Our only suggestion would be to add a shade on the bathroom window. It was very convenient to be able to park right outside of the room. The grounds are beautiful. We loved the outside sitting areas, the picnic table, thé grill, and the fire pit, even though we didn't have time to use them all. The entire property is exceptionally well organized. We highly recommend it.

Great base for exploring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Parking outside the room. Fridge and coffee making facilities in the room. We appreciated the outdoor grill and picnic tables. We had no problem finding all day parking in Bar Harbor when we went on a couple of cruises but we were there early in the morning.

We really liked this cottage. It was only a couple miles from the park entrance but away from crowded Bar Harbor. Communications with the property manager was easy and all done by text. I would highly recommend staying here.

This is my third time staying here and I’ve never been disappointed. I’ve stayed here twice during the summer and once during the fall. The rooms are super cozy. The room is always so clean and smells great. It’s close enough to downtown and Arcadia National Park. When in the room you can’t hear the traffic. Hanscom’s is definitely a diamond in the rough. I also have to say Isis who works at the property is always super nice and fast with responding if you email her.

Charming decor, fresh, clean and comfortable. Nice kitchenette so we were able to cook our breakfasts and grill outside after our days out and about if we wanted on one of the convenient gas grills a very short walk from our front door. Nice fire pit and chairs for relaxing with a cocktail and maybe meet someone new if someone is around. Adjacent to a nice quiet road for a morning or evening walk if you like to do that. Short drive to the welcome center for Acadia too!
