We had an incredible stay at this property. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The location was perfect—quiet yet close to all the main attractions. The host was exceptionally helpful, responsive, and provided great local recommendations. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone!

This is a wonderful property. It was so nice and clean. The home is very comfortable and stocked with anything you might need. Cathy was very helpful in helping us plan our trip. It is even nicer than the pictures on the site. It is away from all of the congested areas and the view of the lake is so relaxing. Checking in and out was so easy. Anytime we had a questions Cathy would reply. I would highly recommend this home for your stay. When I return to Maine I will be booking with Cathy again.

My wife and I stayed at this cottage for a week in July. The cottage is easily accessible, convenient, is packed with amenities, and has a beautiful lakefront view. Just relaxing on the deck while watching the hummingbirds play and seeing the occasional visit of an eagle makes the stay enjoyable. The owners go out of their way to make your stay a good experience. We highly recommend this cottage.

Have stayed here twice before doing another six week stay again. Feels like a second home. Excellent communication with owner, who helped us deal with some minor issues. Kayaking on the pond almost everyday. Love the new larger King size bed in the primary bathroom. Wonderful to have everything on one floor, very accessible.

Lovely lake side cottage in a Prime Maine suburb

Cottage was exactly as described! Bed was comfortable and lake was wonderful. House was well equipped and clean! Only recommendation I would have is to have a couple lounge chairs to enjoy by the lake!

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The location is just what we wanted. The cottage was so well stocked that we really just needed clothes and food for ourselves. The hosts couldn't have made things easier for us. They also communicated extremely well. Definitely would recommend a stay. We'll try and be back!

Property was very clean, as shown in pictures. Very close to Ft. Knox and downtown Bucksport. 1 hour drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Great location on Handcock Pond. Would definitely recommend. Owner and local agent are very responsive and great to work with.

Lovely rental!

This is a lovely cottage, immaculately clean in a great location. There are loons on the pond and we saw eagles and osprey fishing there too. Communication with the owners and the property manager was easy and the house is very well supplied. If we come back to this area we would definitely rent this home again.

A relaxing and peaceful getaway

We truly enjoyed Bella Cottage. It was a great central location for all we wanted to do. It was very clean and well stocked with the neccesary essentials. Very comfortable and easy to figure out how to work all appliances and heating system. The view of Hancock Pond was magnificent from the cottage and had a nice deck from which to enjoy as well! We recommend Bella Cottage completely!

Excellent relaxing vacation!

Absolutely wonderful to spend a relaxing week on Hancock pond at Bella Cottage. Plenty of space for our family of four (kids 12 and 8). We enjoyed the kayaks, swimming, fire pit, and the comfortable recliners for movie time. Close to lots of great ice cream spots, the Observation Bridge, and Fort Knox. The kitchen was very well stocked for all the cooking we did and we also really enjoyed eating at McLeod’s and Crosby’s. Highly recommend a stop at the Unique Rock Shop!

Absolutely awesome place!

We spent a peaceful and relaxing 10 days here. Close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor to visit, but far enough away to get away from the crowds. Bucksport is a neat little town as well. The house was super clean, and everything was well stocked and just like the pictures. If you’re into fishing the lake is some great bass fishing as well. The owners are very responsive and helpful. This one is on our “repeat” list to return! Can’t recommend this one enough!

Loved it!!

We rented five different homes, in five different areas through VRBO during our summer stay in Maine. This one was our favorite. Sad to leave! Had everything you could want, one level easy living, clean and modern. Cable TV and WIFI worked great. Love our 3 week stay so much, we have rented again for next year. Miss it already!

Wonderful Vacation!

We had a wonderful 2 week vacation at Bella Cottage. The cottage was extremely well stocked and had everything we needed, plus the air conditioning was an added bonus! I do recommend water shoes as it makes it easier to get in and out of the water. The table and chairs on the deck are extremely comfortable we were able to see some amazing sunsets! It was tough to leave and we will be back soon. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Summer Maine Retreat

This property is lovely. Watching the morning fog roll in across the lake is so peaceful. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Our bed was comfy in the master room. The check-in procedure was a little different from other VBROs in that we had to meet the property manager to exchange the key, both for check in and out, but this didn't cause any delays. Nice folks. Nice home. We loved Maine!
