Find hotels near Tidal Falls, Hancock from SAR 339

"There aren’t enough good words to describe this house: amazing, beautiful, stunning, perfection, spotless… and more. It started walking in and finding a basket of freshly made popovers, a jar of Maine blueberry jam, and a card with our names on it with a handwritten note from the host welcoming us.There is a 12-14 page binder with everything about the house such as how to operate appliances, the weekly generator test time, local grocery stores, restaurants, and any other detail you could think of.I’m former military; the dishes, pots, pans, Tupperware containers, closets and everything else is perfectly aligned as if the inspector general is coming in. Not one speck of dirt was to be found anywhere. The interior decorum is as if HGTV recorded a show there. Not a mark on the walls and the color coordination is great. The balcony has an amazing view of Cadillac mountain across the water. The sky was so dark and clear one night that the Milky Way galaxy looked like cotton balls in the sky.The host was amazing in providing extensive details about hiking in Acadia National Park as well as promptly answering my numerous questions prior to our visit.I’ve been in all 50 states and about 20 countries and due to decades of work travel (plus personal travel) I’ve stayed in hotels or VRBO type places over 2,500 nights. My wife and I have stayed in some nice places, some of them REALLY great places to stay. This house is clearly on our short list of “the best of the best.”"

"This was a beautiful home with a view. We decided to take a trip up the east coast and we couldn’t be happier with this place! "

"We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and very comfortable. A great place to explore Acadia National Park."

"We will tell you the pictures didn’t do the place justice. We enjoyed it so much. If there is anything that was a negative it would be the road noise was noticeable at times and no place to hang anything except a couple hooks on the door not one closet"

"I would give this property 100 stars if I could! Best VRBO I have ever stayed. It is immaculate, private, well appointed with floor to ceiling windows looking over the tidal basin. The tidal water changes are a show in themselves and the wildlife adds to its splendor. The gas fireplace warmed the rooms when the air cooled in the evening. Full kitchen to eat-in and use. A perfect size home for a couple or two. Bar Harbor and Acadia NP are a short drive, and Hancock has many hiking options. But the best part was sitting by the water's edge in the Adirondack chairs and watching the tide roll in, pause for a bit and roll out. Can't beat it. Tracey was fantastic - start to finish. I wish we could have stayed longer. We'll be back! Thanks Tracey! :)"

"My family of 4 and dog enjoyed staying here. The house was a bit dated but that added to the charm. The scenery is gorgeous from most of the rooms (if you are exploring the neighborhood please stay off the land across the street -it's private property!) The location was ~45 minutes from Acadia National Park and 10-15 minutes from Ellsworth. Check-in was easy and Jamie was a great host. "

" We absolutely loved our time at Escape lake house in Maine! The setting was gorgeous and cannot be beat. The view is never the same and we loved watching the changing light on the water. The house is as described in the listing and the primary bedroom and bathroom are great. Note that one of the “bathrooms” is actually in a side entry room with the washer/dryer and extra stove, and is not super private. Also, 2 of the showers are very small stand-up showers. But, that said, for just 2 of us, this was not an issue and the location and views are worth it! Mark sent lots of good info prior to our trip and we contacted him after arrival to report a potential issue that turned out to be nothing. Communication with him was fast and efficient. Overall, we really loved our stay at Escape and we found it to be a great location for exploring Acadia and the Schoodic peninsula. It was also great to just hang at the house and enjoy the wonderful, ever-changing views. Thanks to Mark for sharing Escape with us! We hope to return again soon!"

"Absolutely beautiful home with everything we needed. Clean and quiet, and great communication with host. A short drive out of Ellsworth so convenient to everything in the area."

"This house was a great home base for our time in the Acadia Region. We found it just as described in the listing: comfortable, cozy, in a quiet location, well appointed. Would not hesitate to recommend to a friend."
