About this property

Stunning house and setting! Spectacular views!

Welcome to historic Cedar Point, Hancock, Maine located on over three waterfront acres between Acadia National Park and its sister park Schoodic. The sun rises through the pines and sets over Taunton Bay ablaze with color. Cross the bluestone patio that surrounds the house and enter to view a towering granite fireplace. The house is all on one floor and is furnished comfortably and imaginatively with collectibles and antiques.

An oversized island provides relaxed seating around a chef’s kitchen. A table for six with water views on three sides is great for eating or gaming. The media center looks over the indoor fireplace (gas logs) and features a 65” television.

Enjoy the large hot tub with ocean views, and sun on the patio in Zero-Gravity chaises and rockers.

The house has a king suite with private bathroom. Two queen bedrooms share a bathroom. Both tile baths have glass showers with granite seats, rain showers and steam. Sleep comfortably on Casper, Purple and Magniflex matresses with premium pillows and linens. Each bedroom opens out to its own patio and water view. Enjoy sleeping with windows wide open for the ocean breeze.

The patio fire pit supplied with wood will warm you as you star gaze.

Hancock has offered hospitality since the early 1800’s when a railway brought guests to the Downeast Maine Coast and its famed hotels. Come explore our natural beauty in Acadia National Park and the Islands. Enjoy the cultural richness of music, the arts and outstanding seafood.

Hike Acadia, bike Schoodic, kayak, sail, lobster and whale watch. Enjoy concerts in Hancock at the Monteux School for Conductors and Orchestra Musicians, and on Mount Dessert Island at the Bar Harbor Bach Festival, Kneisel Hall Chamber Concerts, and performances at the Criterion Theatre. Eat out at the many fabulous local restaurants (several favorites just down the road).

Perfect, again
This was our 2nd stay at the House on Cedar Point. We again enjoyed the serene location, as quiet and private as we remembered from October 2022. The kitchen is truly designed for cooks, and we took full advantage. Enjoying sunset through the many beautiful trees on the property while lounging in the hot tub was a great way to wind down after busy days of sightseeing The master bed is THE most comfortable one we've ever slept in in any hotel or vacation rental. The built-in Sonos sound system was easy to pair with our iPhone's Spotify app, so we enjoyed having "our" music providing a relaxing soundtrack to evenings reading in front of the fire . It's an easy 30-40 min drive to so many fine restaurants (Havana in Bar Harbor, Copita in Northeast Harbor, Red Sky in Southwest Harbor), and such a pleasure to return to such an elegant, inviting home away from the tourist crowds at the end of the day. Joy and David were perfect hosts--friendly, responsive, and clearly eager to do anything they could to make our stay as relaxing and satisfying as possible. We cannot wait to go back.

Pics doesn’t do justice to how nice this home is
The house was spotless! We came up during a hurricane weekend but owners had everything covered as home has a full home generator. The home is beautiful, private and warmly decorated. One of the best amenities is a closet where you get to select the type of pillows for your bed (jell, down, firm, soft). This was amazing! Property is stunning and truly waterfront at end of expansive lush back yard. Views of the sunrise and sunset from your private beach are spectacular. Kitchen is stocked with all the cookware needed and we cooked at home several nights. Host are delightful, on the property in another structure which allows for privacy. They had a great list of suggestions for food, etc. We will be back! This place is very special.

Wonderful Stay in Hancock, Maine
Our stay in Hancock was superb!!!! Joy was a gracious host and gave us many ideas on explorations around the area. The home was immaculate and even better than the pictures show!! Our location was just a little over half an hour drive to Bar Harbor and next to many restaurants and attractions that we might not have seen if we had stayed down on the island. Acadia national park on the mainland was just a few minutes drive from the house!! We definitely plan to return soon!!! Many Thanks to the hosts at the Hancock House!!
