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.

Great Location - Very Rustic

The location was ideal for us on the water. We enjoyed our daily strolls along the shore. We saw seals, porpoises, eagles, loons and ospreys. It was fun watching the lobstermen tend their traps right out back. The only drawback was the very rustic nature of the building.
