We had a wonderful stay in Tiffany's house in Hancock! The entire house was immaculately clean, and it was the perfect size for us. We enjoyed the backyard fire pit and playing yard Yahtzee when not out exploring Maine. We would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved staying here. It was convenient to Acadia National Park. We loved the lightening bugs that lit up the back yard every evening something we don’t see in Florida.
