Only giving 5 stars because 6 isn't an option!! Exceeded our expectations as we may have found the only quiet stay on the entire island! Our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. While we didn't use them, there were many cute, enjoyable outdoor spaces on the property, too! 12/10. Highly recommend!!

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!
