Cottage holiday rentals in Hancock County

This house has a beautiful view of the lake!! The complementary water activity’s are worth booking!! We enjoyed our stay and will come back!! Make sure to walk out on the dock at night and look at the stars!!

Our stay at the Great Pond Airbnb was incredible! The house was beautiful, cozy, and fully stocked with all the amenities we needed. We especially loved the paddle boat—it was magical to take it out on the lake early in the morning and watch the sunrise. Truly a dream! Finding the place initially was a bit tricky (we missed some details in the instructions), and cell service in the area is spotty, so definitely screenshot directions beforehand. Once settled, though, it was perfect. Being just over an hour from Acadia National Park was a huge bonus! We had a blast hiking, especially on Precipice Trail (challenging but amazing!) and Beehive Trail for a slightly easier, but still fun option. This spot offered the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway!

We stayed here our last night while visiting Acadia. Super cute little cabin! We loved that they had a common space in the main house that was full of supplies and very welcoming. Would stay here again!

Awesome spot located between all of the mt. Desert island/acadia national park stuff and the Ellsworth stores and convenience. Well kept cute line of cabins. Felt private even next to other cabins. Very pleasant experience!

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

Perfect stay for visiting Acadia national park. The cottage was super cozy and the shared areas were a huge bonus and super clean! We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. The host has thought of everything you could want including little kits to make s’mores. We will definitely stay again and highly recommend!

A great stay! It is close to the Acadia NP. The place is quiet and clean.

Great location above Acadia, if you are going. Easy acess to go down either side. Also close to Bar Harbor. We took some snacks from the general area that came in handy while we were at the park.

Excellent place to relax . Host is friendly and responsive. Plenty of activities and amenities.

Absolutely loved our stay here! If you're someone who enjoys being close to nature and traveling with your dog, this place is perfect. The surroundings are peaceful and green. Fabiola was super friendly and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. The house rules were clear and straightforward, which made the whole experience stress-free. We felt really welcomed and comfortable the entire time. All in all, a great stay—we’d definitely come back!

Great place. Exactly as described. Julie and Rich went above and beyond with recommendations and itineraries. Would stay there again!

The cabin was breathtaking, with a history painted and photographed among her walls. Perfect amount of space to accommodate a family should you have one. The morning sunrise was spiritual, and humbling. Host was incredibly friendly and accommodating for our dog. Arjuna. Will absolutely be returning. Thank you for an amazing and beautiful experience.

Cozy little cabin right by the road that goes to Acadia national park, which makes it very convenient for people planning to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor. It had everything we needed: comfy bed, coffee maker, little fridge, functional bathroom, television. Communication with Maria was great, as she was always friendly and responded quickly to questions.

Can’t say enough about Craig’s beautiful lakeside cottage. If you like remote, peaceful and being close to nature this is for you. The house and contents seemed brand new and they had thought of everything we could want, right down to pancake mix, maple syrup and Maine blueberries for our breakfasts. An easy drive to Acadia. Craig was communicative, friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic stay and hope we’ll be back.

What a perfect spot for our 32nd anniversary getaway. The house felt tailor made for us with all the comforts of home plus a serene environment that was cozy on the cool, rainy days. And when the sun came out….spectacular! We were super impressed with the digital guidebook that Nicole and Russ provided - it covered every question we could come up with! Little Gem is just that ✨ next time - a longer stay!!

The cottage is amazing! Great little getaway. Pay attention to the host’s instructions, and make sure you bring your provisions. Recommend biking/hiking to Fine Sand Beach. Could have spent an entire day there. Fresh lobster sold at the co-op. Don’t expect Tim’s (the market) to have much in way of food drink. Also, the transfer station isn’t open every day, so you might need to bring it back to Bar Harbor transfer station. Again, LOVED it and will definitely come back.

What a great place for a peaceful, quiet vacation! As described and very cozy. When we arrived, there was a beautiful basket waiting for us with goodies from our host Emily. Lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful sunset. A surprise engagement of our daughter and her boyfriend made it extra special! Would recommend this place and definitely would stay again. Thank you!

Had everything we needed for a brief visit to the beautiful Blue Hill area and very much enjoyed getting to know a little bit about Yan and her place when we arrived.

After days of hiking and exploring in Acadia, the cottage was a quiet, cozy place to spend our evenings. It had everything we needed, was in a quiet, peaceful location, and had lots of recommendations for restaurants and area attractions in the welcome binder and guestbook. Audrey and Scott were responsive and kind hosts. Thanks so much!

Beautiful, serene location and a great cabin. We enjoyed the view, kayaking, and the thoughtful welcome. The cabin is very cute and had everything we needed. Easy to get to local attractions. Would definitely stay here again. Be sure to check out the Williams Family Farm store at the main road.

I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen. It felt like home! I brought my food for my three day stay because I didn't want to worry about finding a restaurant/diner every day. The kitchen had everything I needed, including sharp knives, cutting boards, and oh yeah, the cutest Le Creuset tea kettle. I enjoyed returning to Fern Hollow after hiking all day and being able to prepare my meal. Eating and relaxing by the firepit was exceptional - with s'mores for dessert!

Ann's place was a great stay, especially because my wife and I are more into hiking than walking around Bar Harbor. Not that doing the latter was at all difficult. Bar Harbor is a focal point for those into restaurants and shopping, and it isn't a difficult drive from the cottage (maybe 15 min or so). Ann's place is centrally located in Mt. Desert near several trailheads. The Parkman Mountain trailhead and access point for the carriage road is only about a mile down the road. The start of a scenic drive along Some Sound that leads to Northeast Harbor is even closer. The central location of the cottage also makes it easy to get to the "Quiet Side" of Mt. Desert. Our 7-night stay wasn't enough to see everything we wanted, so we may come back someday. If we do, we would love to stay here again.

Absolutely loved our stay! Private and peaceful. Very cozy and had everything we needed!

The place is, as advertised, the cutest. It's equipped as well, having every tool or utensil you might need to enjoy your seafood. This was our first trip Downeast and we found it to be as charming and naturally beautiful as we hoped it would be. The cherry on top was our hosts. Bonnie and Chubba are especially friendly and are true stewards of this grand corner of America.
