Summary:

Wake up to the sounds of the ocean, and watch the sun rise over the water! Catch the local lobster fisherman hauling traps in front of the house, or the occasional seals swimming up to the rocks. There are eagles, osprey, and other wildlife alive on the coast of this waterfront home!! Kayak, fish, or take a sailing lesson! Walk Carters beach and seaglass hunt!! Its all within walking distance of this family cottage on historic Hancock Point overlooking Frenchman Bay!



The Space:

This charming summer cottage is on beautiful Hancock Point. It is located on the water overlooking Frenchman Bay, and close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

There are two buildings on the property (a total of 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), as described below. PRICES ARE FOR THE MAIN HOUSE ONLY, but the guest house may be ADDED as well. Please read below!

**Our property is also dog friendly, with a signed pet agreement and a $150 pet fee per stay for your one dog.

The main house "cottage" is the original building on our property and has been a family camp for many years. There is a lot of history for the family here, it is a camp, in good condition, not a luxury home. THIS SLEEPS 7 TOTAL (MAX# of GUESTS).

The first floor bedroom has one full bed, and a bathroom with a shower, toilet and washer/dryer.

The second floor has 3 additional bedrooms that sleep 6 (one queen and twin in bedroom 1, two twins in bedroom 2, one twin in bedroom 3) and a bathroom with toilet and a clawfoot tub!

The house is equipped with WiFi, smart TV, a full kitchen, and a gas stove in living room is the only heat.

There is a popular sunny 3 season room, and also a large front porch with a hammock overlooking Frenchman Bay with amazing sunrises and sunsets!



The additional Guest House is a newer addition to our property, and can be added for an extra fee, if a large family cannot quite fit everyone in the Main House. Our Guest House is a small building with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom. It sleeps 5 people in Bedroom 1:queen bed and Bedroom 2:three twin beds, with a sofa bed in living room for that extra guest.

The Guest House has a gas stove for heat in the living room on the first floor.

There is a washer/dryer, hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, but does not have a range/oven (not a full kitchen).



Hancock Point has a local Library, Non-Denominational Chapel, sailing lessons, Kayaking, fishing, tennis,Carters beach, the famous Crocker House Inn and Restaurant, and is close to groceries, restaurants, shopping, and more!!

Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and Schoodic Point are about 18 miles drive.

Ellsworth is a 5 mile drive for Hannafords, Shaws, Walmart, restaurants and shopping.

We look forward to your stay in this home with amazing views!! Please feel free to ask any additional questions you may have.

The property is absolutely breathtaking. The photos of the location on the listing do it no justice. The house was clean and well stocked for long stays. One floor living for those with mobility issues was a big reason we chose this place and it delivered over and above expectations. I will definitely be recommending this rental home and will likely return!

Fabulous location. View of the bay from almost every room in the house. Sunsets ate amazing. Plan to relax and enjoy quiet time, the way Maine should be. This place is not fancy, but has everything thing you need to enjoy family time and family meals. We hope to return again soon. About 45 mins from Acadia.

This property was beautiful and had everything we needed for our first family trip to Maine. We especially loved fishing! It was super clean and the extra house added extra space for our family so we could all have beds. We cannot wait to come back! We felt like we were living in the 1950's with the rustic cottage that was so charming.

A true summer cottage home in Maine. Once we got past the initial shock of what that means, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage has stunning views of Frenchman’s bay with lots of wildlife and the best sunsets of our trip. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. If you don’t see it, keep looking. It’s there!

We enjoyed our stay & appreciated the historic nature of the property & would like to know more. Some of our group of 6 have mobility issues & the stairs in the house presented difficulties! The view of water & trees & eagles was priceless. This is a summer cottage & we were not prepared for the suddenly cool fall temps with only first floor fireplace heat. The supply of blankets did help.

If you are dreaming of a quiet cottage right on the water, this is the place. Quaint and comfortable, it's the perfect place to spend time with the family - watching sunrises, taking walks, and playing games around the dinner table. We had a wonderful time!

This is a very special place that deserves more than 5 stars. It feels loved and enjoyed by generations of a family (there's even a stick in the dining room marking the heights of the growing kids). Every room in the house is comfortable and most have new windows to open and let in the ocean breezes and sounds. The kitchen is well-stocked (seasonings, oils, etc), equipped and is a pleasure to work in. Unlike many places we have stayed, the well water tastes good and doesn't need a filter.It was quiet and peaceful when we were there the week before Labor Day and early mornings were spent with coffee on the porch watching seals, harbor porpoises and the many birds.If you have fond memories of visiting your grandparents cottage with the banging screen door, this is the place for you.Susan, the host, was so helpful and answered our questions very quickly. We will definitely be back!
