Vacation rentals with lake access in Hancock County

We had a small reunion with our kids and grandkids and this home was PERFECT! We had lots of room for the kids to run, we did some fishing, we enjoyed the fire pit and the fireplace inside was fabulous! Lucy was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We have decided this will become a family tradition and Lucy’s home is the perfect place in a gorgeous state to meet every year. We will be back!

This is great place to stay. House is Clean , modern, beautiful view and it’s very quiet. Owners is very friendly . I definitely recommend this place .

A nice spot to recharge your batteries. Beautiful lake, cozy cabin and private. Had everything we were looking for when we booked. We had one utilities issue that was resolved very quickly after contacting the host who showed quick responsiveness.

Jackie's place was just perfect for me and my friend and was exactly as described. There are new windows so it was nice and warm even when strong winds were blowing. Jackie was so gracious and provided a lovely snack basket. The kitchen items were top quality and she thought of everything one might need. She even provides multiple steaming services if you want to chill and watch a movie or tv show. Bedding was comfy, clean and warm. Bathroom was clean with thick towels and hreat water pressure. Absolutely nothing bad to say here. I would move right in if it was for sale! :)

We were a group of 7 seniors, college buddies coming together from different parts of the world, and this property in the heart of Bar Harbor was perfect. It was spacious, clean, well appointed and comfortable. Shops, restaurants, walking trails and a grocery store were within walking distance. Cooking in the well-appointed kitchen was a joy, with the functioning washer and dryer nearby. The bedrooms were nicely furnished and the two bathrooms, stocked with lots of neatly folded towels, more than met our needs. We enjoyed lounging in the family room couches in front of the large screen TV and we gathered around the long dining room table late into the nights to chat and play games. It felt like our home away from home and honestly, we all hated to go.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the location. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We never wanted to leave. It had everything we needed and was perfect for our family of 5.

Ohhhh my goodness. What a hidden slice of heaven! Yes…there is a 5 mile trek down a bumpy dirt road, but don’t let that deter you, once you pull in the driveway…you’ll understand it was well worth it. The main house and two tiny houses were completely stocked. There wasn’t anything that wasn’t there. Everything was cleaned and well maintained and in great working order. There was plenty of space for our three families to spread out. If you’re looking for a peaceful get away…this is it. We would definitely look into this place again!!!!!!

This place was a great location, we stayed here for a concert at Bangor Waterfront. We loved the amenities and the fire place. The beds were extremely comfortable. Would recommend!!

I enjoyed a recent 2 night stay at Naomi’s place, and there was much to love about it! While it was definitely a hike to and from Bar Harbor, returning back to the privacy & peacefulness of this property in the evening made it absolutely worth while. Above all we greatly appreciated how clean the unit was upon arrival. The beautiful sunset views and access to kayaks to enjoy the pond were a major plus. The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for, and we’d definitely stay with Naomi again next time we visit the area!

We loved our week long stay! The cabin is awesome and location is perfect. We spent time at Bar Harbor and Acadia. The lake is beautiful and so peaceful. John and Maria were great.

Alan is very welcoming and helpful. The lights and electronics are all very efficient and eco-friendly. And what an amazing bonus, to have top-class music fifty steps from our door! Gorgeous views of Cadillac Mountain, all lovely. Acadia is an hour away, Blue Hill Peninsula has lots going on, and Bucksport and Deer Isle are a short drive away. We will visit again. Thank you, Alan!

Had a great time. The house was clean and orderly. We had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, they were only 30-40 minutes away. We also enjoyed the very short walk to the water front to enjoy the views and the cool breeze off the water we even saw a lobster boat one evening! Definitely would recommend and stay here again!

The stay was great! Drove up from Ohio and after a very long day of driving, the place was relaxing and ready. The amenities were accurately described in the listing and reflected within. We enjoyed the unique aspects such as the frog decor and Orland decorations. Being in mid October, the heat inside was plenty to keep us warm. We had no issues whatsoever but it appeared that Vacasa was very responsive if any did arise. The highlight had to be the dock access to Heart Pond in the backyard. Caught many sunsets and sunrises there and it was beautiful. Great for stargazing too! Ellsworth is only a short drive for food/supplies. This was a great jumping off point to explore Acadia National Park!

Josh was an outstanding host, quick to reply and quick to give advice to make the most of the area. The apartment is close to town and is on the edge of Field’s Pond with some short trails and small beach for swimming

We wanted a relaxing and peaceful place to stay and Ferncrest was all of that! We enjoyed staying on the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island. Yet it was close enough to Bar Harbor and the activities it offered. Coming back to Ferncrest in the evening was like coming home!

Mark was a generous, responsive, and all-around lovely host! He offered us use of all the lakeside amenities during our stay and shared his extensive knowledge and love of Maine and its natural wonders with us. He is the most hospitable host we ever encountered at an Airbnb. The space itself was comfortable, airy, clean, and well-appointed. We would stay in one of his properties again in a heartbeat!

Thank you Matt & Carmen for sharing your beautiful home. Brittany did an awesome job cleaning and setting us up for a perfect stay. We didn't get to eat outside as much with the damp, cooler weather but the kitchen table was plenty big enough. It was the perfect place to catch up with out of state friends. Cadillac Mountain was beautiful and Acadia Loop is always my favorite. We explored Winter Harbor and Schoodic Point this trip and we were not disappointed. Stock up on groceries for the cabin or be prepared to wait in line for an hour or more depending on what restaurants are open. They seem to close early compared to places in PA. I was not expecting single use plastic being prohibited in all of Maine. Good thing bags are cheap 😊. Maybe next time we can come in warmer weather and can enjoy the lake more. Camp Tranquility was a wonderful choice for us. Thank you again!

Excellent vibes at this place. Genuinely stunning views, especially at sunrise/sunset, and the house was perfect for hanging out after a day of hiking at Acadia. The place was slightly farther from the hikes we wanted to do than we thought, but the drive was beautiful so who cares. I would definitely recommend downloading your directions to the house before you lose service. The beds were super comfy and the place was clean. Thanks so much for such a great stay!

This was a beautiful property and perfect for access to Acadia National Park but also out of town for peace and quiet. Ryan and Chris always responded quickly and clearly care about providing a quality service for their guests. I would highly recommend this property, and we will hopefully be staying here again in the future.

This place is a gem that you won’t regret staying at! Great host, that is great with communication. The house is adorable, has everything you need and then some. We had such a great time and would love to stay again. Thank you Jesse & Mya!

We had the best most perfect stay at Cyndi’s lake cottage. Everything was perfect, peaceful, comfortable and wonderful!! We explored Acadia during our stay and were so grateful to escape the crowds and return to this lovely cottage. One day it rained and that might have been our favorite day, because we had a perfectly relaxing day at the Lazy Loon!!! Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful property. However long your stay is, you’ll wish it was longer!

10/10 place. So tranquil, serene, beautiful, and lots of nice touches. If you’re considering this property for your upcoming trip, book it now! The hosts were pleasant to chat with and made sure we felt right at home. I wish we can come back in the summer some time to leverage the lake a little better:) PS We even got to see the northern lights from here on Oct 10, 2024!

Beautiful place! Went mid October with son and daughter in law and the best time for peak fall foliage!!! Cold nights, gorgeous days!! Enjoyed the kayaks, wood for the fire pit and had fun with the legless fox we named “Forest.” The home is as described in the listing. Very clean, smelled great, and cozy. Thank you Gus!

Beautiful little cottage near acadia. Host is very polite and really appreciated the labeling around the place. Would definitely consider staying here again!
