House vacation rentals in Hancock

Me and my friends loved this BNB!! The hot tub was amazing and the pool was an awesome addition. Instructions were clear and even called to walk me through everything. Plenty of places to sleep and loads of places to go!

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

this was the 3rd time our family has stayed,again we had a fantastic time! We chose to return due to the great space, a fabulous indoor pool, great kitchen and an amazing view. Great attention to details, comfortable for large families or groups and peaceful for just 2.

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

Staying at Susan’s felt like a home away from home. The house was incredible and the farm was stunning. Being close to Bar Harbor and Ellsworth was a perfect combination. The handbook when you first walk in was a highlight as Sue takes the time to go through and give ideas of good places and activities to do around the area. Truly a 10/10 stay I would rate higher if I was able to.

10/10 would recommend Dana’s place! Easy to get to, and absolutely spotless! There is a nice walking trail to the lake to enjoy time by the water. We had a great stay, plenty to do within an hour radius of the Airbnb. As a chicken lover, I adored the flock that roamed the property. They’re very friendly :)

Gerald’s place is very clean, comfortable, and homey! Plenty of towels and blankets for everyone, thoughtful personal touches including having books and toys available for children, and some snacks and breakfast items for guests. He kindly allowed us to use the fire pit and even helped get the fire going. The view of the bay can’t be beat! We enjoyed being in such a private location and opening the windows for fresh air and bird sounds. If you need to work remotely or access WiFi during your stay, it is available but not high speed and there were some issues with consistent connectivity. The kitchenette is small but sufficiently appointed for simple cooking like one-pan meals. If you’re planning to mostly spend your time outside exploring Acadia, this shouldn’t be an issue for you! Gerald’s place is rural but conveniently located between the Schoodic Peninsula and the Mount Desert Island areas of Acadia, with very scenic drives to both areas. Thanks for a wonderful stay in Maine!

We felt so at home at Travis’ place. We had a late check in, and I will say he was right when he said it’s tricky to find in the dark! Once we got there and looked around it got easier. Everything was so clean and cozy. We loved having the two bedrooms right next to each other. It made it easy for our young daughter to get us if she needed us at night. The view alone made us feel so at peace that not much could top it. We also appreciated the access to tvs, but not making them stick out in the home. Everywhere we went was between a 30-45 minute drive which we did not mind at all. We actually quite enjoyed it so we weren’t right by all the craziness of some of the tourist towns. I can’t say anything but amazing things about this house. If you’re looking to book and this house ends up on your list.. just book it!! You won’t regret it.

Erica was SO accommodating and helpful. She responded extremely quick anytime we messaged and gave us tips and recommendations. Her home is adorable and we really enjoyed being there. It had everything we needed! Only thing to note is that while her place is 20 minutes from Acadia’s entrance it is a big park so anytime we were going to a hike it did take more like 40 minutes to get to it, just worth a mention! Highly recommend her place!

Best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had! Wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting the area. Perfect location, wonderful place, and extremely accommodating host. A hidden gem in Bar Harbor.

We had a wonderful family stay and created unforgettable memories here. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals to take along to Acadia National Park. The location was peaceful and came with all the amenities needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Peter and Cindi were incredibly kind and went out of their way to assist us early one morning. Their responsiveness and reliability are a true asset to this property.

What a beautiful hidden gem this lake house is! Nestled into the Maine forest on the edge of the peaceful lake, it was a perfect spot for a relaxed reunion for two families. As we have small children, I appreciated that the water isn't too close to the house but still accessible via stairs. Travis and Laura were excellent hosts and had the house stocked with everything we could need for a wonderful stay!

This location was absolutely perfect for our group. It was surrounded by great areas and met the needs of our trip fully. The house was beautiful and comfortable to be in. Rachel gave fantastic directions on how to get to the property and check in was a breeze. If you are looking for a peaceful trip with a beautiful house located perfectly around plenty of sight seeing, this is the place for you! I would not only recommend this location to anyone but our group plans to for sure stay for future trips!

Beautiful place with everything you need for a low key getaway. Not a bad drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia but with better peace and quiet in the mornings and evenings! Definitely would recommend

From the very beginning of our booking process, Stephanie was absolutely incredible! We had a secret wedding elopement and Stephanie made sure that we had the best experience possible for the reception we had at her place. We set up tents outside for the dinner, and spent quality time with friends and family both inside, and outside by the fire. It was a memorable and unforgettable experience thanks to Stephanie and her beautiful home. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a getaway close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and needs some peace and quiet! Her home was absolutely beautiful, we had no complaints, just all great things to say! Cannot wait to come back here again next year! (: Stephanie was very responsive and so kind! Stay at her place, you will not regret it!

We stayed at this place for a weekend! Family of 4! Everything was great! Very peaceful surroundings! Quite, private and gorgeous. We enjoyed kayaking, I managed to cut white perch from the ramp, used grill once. Place looks new and welcoming. I wish we had more time to spend at the house. Bar Harbor/Acadia/Sand Beach is less then an hour away, easy access with no traffic. Meghan was very responsive! Our flight was not until 6pm and she allowed for a late check out. Book this place with no doubt, you will not regret. Will comfortably accommodate a family of 5.

Loved our stay in your beautiful home. The decor and cleanliness made us feel right at home. Perfect place to leave the Acadia crowds behind! Everything was perfect!

This was a beautiful place to enjoy a relaxing and tranquil vacation. Elizabeth was very attentive and helpful when there were questions and answered promptly. There was lots to do in the area with beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful & magical spot! Views of water were gorgeous to wake up to. Being able to walk out onto the beach was wonderful. Cabin was clean, soaring ceilings, very open and bright. Loved it!

Super easy house and nice newer cabin compared to many of the Maine cabins that are old family non updated for similar costs. Katie's place seems to be on ample property but is located beside the road so there is some traffic in case you were looking for absolute quiet.
