A spacious three bedroom summer cottage on Hancock Point in open woods, just 100 yards from the beach, with private beach access. From the beach there is a beautiful view of Frenchman Bay and Mt. Desert Island. The screened sun porch at the front of the house is a wonderful place for a quiet breakfast or lunch, reading, games, or drinks in the evening. The cottage has wooden floors, one double bedroom, 2 twin bedrooms, a large living room with wood stove and cable television, a study and a full bathroom with shower in addition to a half bathroom. There is Wifi internet access. The cottage is easy walking distance from the famous Crocker House Country Inn/Restaurant, the Hancock Point library, chapel, Post Office and Village Green, tennis courts (lessons available, July and August), and the wharf, where you can fish and swim. Sailing lessons are available for children in July and August. Horseback riding and kayaking expeditions are also available locally.

Why Jane Giles chose Hancock
My grandfather had this cottage built and it is the cottage we have returned to for almost every summer since I was born.
What makes this cottage unique
The cottage is very peaceful and private, and yet it's well connected to the rest of Hancock Point with its library, tennis courts and wharf as well as the Crocker House Inn. There are woods for children to play in and space in the yard for croquet games. The cottage also has its own access to the shore, with a two-seater Adirondack chair just above the beach (with great views of the mountains of Acadia National Park) and then wooden stairs down to the beach. On the beach to the left, our family's main beach, there's a big rock that becomes an island or a ship when the tide is in, and there's also a reef full of tide pools with crabs, snails and starfish in them, so it's great fun for children. There is a sandy area great for sand building sand castles and cities. We love it.

Inviting cabin in the woods
This cabin in the woods was remarkably inviting for our family reunion. Light, bright interior in pine wood, clean, tastefully decorated with comfort in mind, complete kitchen, and a screened porch fronting on pine woods that we especially enjoyed. Within walking distance are tennis courts, beach, town wharf and supurb dining at country inn. We enjoyed biking, kayaking, beach combing, berry picking along quiet country roads and all that Acadia National Park has to offer. Owner was most helpful and pleasant to work with. A great private getaway or base for exploring the Maine coast. We did both.
Cozy and has everything you need. A little tight on space for 5 people.
Beautiful setting. Private and quiet.
A perfect scenic and comfortable cabin in the Maine woods with easy access to the shore as well.
My return to Hancock Point where I spent so many summers in the home of my grandparents was enhanced by the comfort and attractiveness of this cabin. Hancock Point is a gem of a place which has happily stood still over time. It was wonderful to enjoy the wild life ( saw a wild turkey and her brood of about 10 chicks ) , deer, and lots of beach life where I spent many hours as a child. We enjoyed a sail, kayaking, and visiting Schoodic, Acadia, and the special places at Hancock Point, library, the Crocker House. The cabin is well equipped and kept, and I would return many times if I could.
Just fabulous! Sooo relaxing! Private and neighbors are so friendly! We will be back!
**PERFECT**
It was an enchanting cottage in the woods with a private access to a gorgeous beach.
The cottage was a perfect vacation spot for a family. I loved the sunroom and we spent a lot of time at the beach collecting sea glass. I was very impressed with the property!
very relaxed week
We loved everyhting about this cottage. very well equipped, clean and quite comfortable. as others have noted - the beds were super comfy! Best sleep i have had in a long time. The beach was fun and found so much sea glass. Enjoyed morning runs in the early a.m. and was surprised many times by deer.....
I would come back here in a minute!
