Acadia motel with down home comfort

We enjoyed our stay at Hanscom’s Cottages. It was comfy, cozy, and a little outdoorsy. We took advantage of their well supplied campfire sites. I just wish they had small s’mores kits to purchase.

Great little cabin has everything you need for a short stay. We walked around the area and found a great sunset spot on the water. There are outdoor activities, grills and tables for dining. We loved our experience.

This property is fantastic. The adorable efficient and scrupulously clean cottage was located just far enough from Acadia to be quiet, yet convenient. Great communication from property manager - before, during, and after stay. We especially appreciated the ability to stay only one night. Highly recommend!

Such a comfy bed and pillows! Comfy couch! Stylish and clean place. Ample towels. Had everything you could need in the little kitchenette. Only improvement would be a Roku hookup for the TV for Netflix. We loved our stay!

Enjoyable stay

This property was super adorable and cozy. It feels like your in the middle of the forest with campfires for the guests to enjoy. You're close to the water and Acadia National Park. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short 1 day cause of Hurricane Lee and the hotel was super understanding and were willing to give us a refund the night we had to leave.

Absolutely Stunning!!

First time in Maine and road tripping from Ontario. We chose to stay here in a whim and have absolutely no regrets. The check-in process was very quick and the cottage was so beautiful. Lots of amenities on the property, including picnic areas and fire pits/firewood for private use. Easy to find and very close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We would definitely return if ever in Maine again… this place deserves nothing less than 5 stars!
