Gorgeous view
The deck has the most gorgeous view of bay. Got to see some wildlife right from the deck. It in a great location not too far from a national park. I got to say it’s one of the best places I’ve stayed in the last three years I’ve been renting.

Good Times in Maine
The property was as advertised - a beautiful place on the bay near Acadia National Park. The views were amazing, and sitting on the deck overlooking it all was fabulous. We made good use of the kitchen and laundry facilities while we were there, and the beds were comfortable. Judy was very communicative and easy to work with. We would stay here again!

Best cottage
We absolutely loved the cottage. It was in a great location and easy to get to Bar Harbor and Schoodic Point! The wrap around deck was fantastic and we saw so much wildlife right there at the cottage every day. The eagles and the harbor seals were some of our favorites! Judy had flowers in every room which just added to the charm. She was a gem!

Cottage on the water in Hancock
While Hancock is a drive to Bar Harbor, the cottage had an amazing view of the water (and night sky/stars) and all supplies necessary to enjoy our stay. The owner, Judy, recommended a lobsterman that brought fresh lobsters right to our door for a very reasonable price. We hiked, biked and kayaked for a fun, outdoor vacation…and even took in a beautiful sunrise from the deck of the cottage.

Beautiful location
Hancock cottage was quiet, serene, and lovely. It is a special place to truly unwind. The water views are breathtaking. We loved watching the birds and the sparkly water and the seal that visits at high tide. The beds are very comfortable and kitchen is adequately stocked. The home is actually quite spacious and open and very bright. We plan on booking next year !

A Grand Estuary
This lovely cottage was the perfect location for a pair of old romantics interested in the natural world. The secluded estuary was teeming with life from the roses surrounding the cottage to beautiful fresh bouquets inside. We were entertained daily by a pair of eagles flying within 6 feet of the deck, a few seals at low tide, and schools of Menhaden dancing atop the water. We enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to return in the Springtime.

Perfect location for relaxation
Location was private but with easy access to multiple points of interest. The deck was perfect for sitting and rocking on the rocking chairs enjoying the beautiful view including gorgeous sunrises. The house was designed so three couples could easily stay together. The maintenance person, Rob, was excellent and responded quickly to our minor requests. The owner went out of her way to make sure we were satisfied with our stay. Highly recommended.

Nice launching point away from the hustle and bustle
We very much enjoyed our time at Judy’s cottage! It had everything we needed and was a great launching point to activities in the area, but away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed kayaking from the beach, getting lobsters from Babe the lobsterman, visiting Schoodic, Acadia, and Bar Harbor, and lunch on the dock in Corea. It takes only ~30 minutes to kayak from the beach to Bean island, a cute uninhabited island. We enjoyed dinners at the Pickle Wrinkle (which was a little far) and at Ironbound (which was really close), and were able to cook the rest of the evenings and enjoy the view from the deck.

Beautiful, serene setting
This is a quiet location about an hour to bar harbor and Acadia. This home has a lovely deck and fire pit area overlooking a great bay view. That is what you are paying for. The home is roomy and simple. You would not describe it as luxurious or upscale. Stay at a b & b if you are looking for that type of accommodation. Stay here if you are looking for a quiet retreat with a dreamy view.

Decent spot with promise
Pros- great host, full kitchen, two full bathrooms, incredible view, direct access to the shoreline, great deck, fire pit, washer/dryer, great grill! Cons- leaky toilets, low water pressure, visibly dirty floors, showers had hair on walls from previous guests! My mom was with us and checked in several hours before we arrived. She did a bunch of cleaning and that made things much better. Overall a great spot and would have been excellent if it was clean.

Enjoyed everything.
We enjoyed the “ cottage “ feel of the house. Sitting on the deck and watching nature was a very calming pleasure. The house is equipped with everything you need. We called Bob and had lobsters delivered. Couldn’t get any fresher than that. The flowering bushes and the pots of flowers added to the charm. We would recommend this property and the owner to all. Thanks Judy.

A Slice of Paradise
We just had an amazing week at Judy's property. I can't say enough about the exceptional location of her cottage. Serene, peaceful, a slice of heaven. Sunrises that we experienced from the deck overlooking Frenchman's Bay were simply spectacular and rival those seen in Acadia! A bald eagle has a home at the top of one of the highest pine trees not too far from the cottage and he treat us on occasion to a fly-by. We even saw seals in the water directly in front of the cottage Judy was very responsive to our every request and was an excellent host. The property had everything we needed for a fabulous vacation!

Peaceful and Relaxing
This was a great property for our family of 7. Very clean and amazing views. The kids had fun along the shore at low tide. If you are looking for “5 stars” like the Ritz, this is not the place for you...but if you want a clean, fuss-free rental with fantastic outdoor spaces in a great location, then this could be your ticket. Judy, the owner, was easily to communicate with and made sure our stay was lovely. I would definitely recommend to friends! (I’d suggest bringing some books or toys for the youngest set...our 4 year old could have used more to do during downtime.)

Absolutely Gorgeous and Memorable Experience
My wife and I stayed here for our first stay in Maine. The property is within 45 minutes of so many hikes and things to do that aren't even inside Acadia National Park. The highlight was Judy's friend Bob. We called him up and he was able to hand deliver a couple of Lobsters that he had caught that morning in the dense fog for us to cook up that night. The cottage is old and you can tell but it just adds to the charm of the coastal Maine experience. Judy was great at communicating and making sure we knew that if we needed anything she would be available to fix it. I don't think we could have enjoyed our stay more unless the weather had been a little clearer but can't control that!

A June week In Maine.
We had an awesome time at your cottage! It was so cute and kudos to your housekeeper! Loved the fact that we actually got to meet & your suggestions for eating out was greatly appreciated!! The restaurant in Ellsworth was well worth the trip! Also your housekeepers advice on jams & jellies & pies was pure joy! Bought an awesome blueberry pie was eaten before we had enough!! Thank you once again for sharing with folks from S Georgia & Tallahassee!! Hope we left everything to your satisfaction! Oh we went to Bunkers Wharf at Birch Harbor & Jordan Pond restaurants! All were well worth the trip! Hope to return!

beautiful house with beautiful views
We loved this house and its beautiful location with lovely views. We were a family with two couples and an additional adult daughter. The set up was excellent for two couples, with a very private bedroom area in the basement. The location was also excellent for us, since the younger folk wanted to mountain climb in Acadia National Park on the Island, while we oldsters wanted to visit parts east at a slower pace. We noticed quite a few people kayaking nearby, though we did not. WiFi was great, and the house had an abundance of television where you could stream what you wished to see. But if you just wanted to stay put and enjoy the Maine coast, this was a good place to do it! Can't say enough good things about this house and very cooperative owner!

Quiet, relaxing and pretty refuge
We have been vacationing in Maine for many years. This is the first time we stayed in this cottage, and hope to return in the future. It is everything described in the listing and more. It is alongside another rental property, but private. The location is quiet and pretty. It is a very relaxing spot to sit on the deck, or on the lawn in the fire pit area and take a nap or read a book. Although it is away from it all, it is only a 20 minute drive to Ellsworth for groceries at the Hannaford or Shaws. This is the first time that we never actually went to Acadia Park. There are a number of nice hiking trails a short distance (check the Frenchman's Bay Conservancy website ). Overall, one of our best times in Maine
