Hodgkins House is beautiful! If you want a “home away from home,” convenient to everything including a fabulous beach 4 min away, then this is the house for you. The patio, lawn and view are perfect for relaxing outside. Inside you will find the most well-stocked house you can imagine. Everything anyone could want is here - every kitchen gadget, lots of plates, silverware and glasses, spices, many nice fluffy towels in the well stocked bathrooms, very comfy living room furniture and a beautiful screen porch where you can sit and look out at the gorgeous backyard, water and hills in the distance. And the owners, Lucy and Paul, are so responsive. The perfect home for relaxing or for exploring the area.

Our family of five enjoyed our stay--the launchpad to day trips spent hiking in the park (and beyond--including Tunk Mountain and Schoodic Point) and paddle boarding at Blunt Pond (5 minute drive). House is spacious and the firepit is EVERYTHING. Was also really nice to be close to Elsworth for many convenient dining options!

My family (including my children: ages 5 and 7) had a wonderful stay here, and I highly recommend the property! It will be our go-to spot for any future vacations to Maine. The spot is gorgeous and there is plenty of privacy. One of my favorite things was my morning coffee with a book in the sunroom looking out at the water through the greenery. The kitchen has every tool and item you could possibly want - more than most home kitchens. Take a look before you plan meals for the week because it expands what you can do. It’s convenient to the grocery and some restaurants and activities, and not too far from Bar Harbor and Acadia. It’s also close to the beach, which my kids loved (you could walk it but we preferred the very quick drive). We loved having the separate room for the kids to play, and it was lovely that there was a packed beach bag with chairs. Other things I didn’t even realize I wanted were thoughtfully there for our use. This was our perfect home base!

Property and owners were awesome. House was clean and well stocked. Owners were very responsive to questions. Great location, as well. Close enough to a town and to Bar Harbor and Acadia, but off the beaten path, which was perfect.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is equipped with everything you could want, the beds are super comfortable and the location is excellent. Thank you Lucy and Paul!

My family and I throughly enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed at the house; it seemed like every detail was addressed. Lots to do nearby or only a short drive away. Highly recommend!

Our stay was wonderful! The best part besides the view was that Lucy had essentials there like vegetable oil, and Italian seasoning. I know this seems silly but it’s so frustrating to have to buy additional things just to use them for a week and then find a way to transport it back. Another thing was the beds were very comfortable. Lucy was very responsive to any question I had. We had a great time!

My family of four including two teenagers spent a wonderful week at the lovely Hodgkin’s House. This was the perfect place to return to after our adventures exploring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The house is beautifully decorated, has a well stocked kitchen for home cooked meals and has stunning views from the living room, sun porch and spacious backyard. There are many restaurants and shops nearby to pick up groceries or anything else that you may need. The hosts were very welcoming and easy to communicate with. We would love to return again in the future!

This home was everything my husband and I had hoped for when planning our 20th anniversary. The amenities were fabulous, with a kitchen that had more than just the basics-a treasure for sure!
The outdoor space was plentiful and extremely well maintained with gorgeous gardens, a hammock, an outdoor cooking area, and the VIEW!! Stunning.
The house itself was so well thought out, from the kitchen, to the wall of windows in the living room and dining room, to the adorable telephone lamps!
The location was everything! Easy access to the main part of Acadia, Schoodic Peninsula, Bar Harbor, Ellsworth, and more.
Last and certainly not least, Lucy and Paul were amazing hosts. From early communication with Lucy, to Paul greeting us and giving us a quick tour of the property, to the sweetest anniversary touch.
Thank you for such an amazing experience. We cannot wait to return!

We loved our week long stay at this beautiful home. We truly were comfortable and relaxed, as if staying at the home of a family member. The house is a perfect base to explore Acadia, Bar Harbor, Camden and more. The kitchen has every possible utensil and cookware to prepare a meal, to be enjoyed seated at the dining table with a view of the Bay.

We enjoyed our stay for one week at the end of August to the beginning of September. The weather was perfect. I never got tired of the view! It had everything that we wanted. The house was roomy, the view is spectacular, the location was peaceful and quiet, it had a fireplace and a fabulous outside grill. We couldn’t have asked for more. Lucy and Paul or fantastic hosts. We hope to come back year after year, but stay longer than one week.

Just like many reviews mention… wish we’d stayed longer!
Too bad that there are so many outstanding places to visit and explore in the area! Hodgkins’ House was always a welcome respite after long days of hiking, shopping, kayaking and feasting on seafood (and ice cream)!
Easy communication with owners, well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms, spacious indoor/outdoor areas - the view is for real!

The Hodgkins’ House is a welcoming and well-maintained home. The beautiful views and outdoor patio were perfect for reading and relaxing outside, while the bedrooms were all well proportioned and had ceiling fans for warm summer nights. We enjoyed our stay and you will too.

We had a wonderful time and the hosts were great!! The property was so clean and had everything we could imagine needing for a week's stay in Maine. We cooked lobsters and they had a wonderful outdoor kitchen and everything we needed for that as well. I plan on going back again with my grandkids. Highly recommend!

Our family of 6 had an amazing, comfortable and inspired visit to Hodgkins House. The view from the backyard is gorgeous and we all enjoyed the expansive yard for many games of croquet and frisbee! The house was very clean and extremely well-stocked! We enjoyed home cooked meals from the lovely kitchen and outdoor grilling station. Our evenings often ended with a cozy fire pit. Lucy was very responsive to questions. We would rent again! Thank you for a lovely stay.

The Hodgkins' House was the perfect getaway for our family!
The house was well stocked, and our children thoroughly enjoyed the playroom and outdoor toys. The views were breathtaking, and the sunroom provided a peaceful oasis for morning coffee. The fire pit was perfect for nighttime
smores. We were close enough to Acadia that we made daily visits, but were far enough away that we felt like we had a quiet and relaxing spot to come back to. Lucy and Paul were wonderful hosts, and you can tell how much they love their home through how well they have cared for it. Thank you again Paul and Lucy!

My family had a wonderful vacation and this was perfect spot to explore Acadia. We also enjoyed seeing seals at the beach on Lamoine State Park. The view can’t be beat!

We loved our stay at the Hodgkins' house in Lamoine, the house, yard, location and area helped us really relax. The house and kitchen are well appointed for a family to enjoy their stay. The location is close enough to get to Bar Harbor and Schoodic peninsula and enjoy them yet far enough away to be away from the crowds also, for a true get away.

Peace and quiet
Our family needed a relaxing quiet getaway and this place was just the spot! The kids enjoyed the yard, games, firepit (S’mores several nights!) and watching the stars, as well as lazy mornings playing with the toys in the kids room with their own tv/dvd player. The views from the backyard are simply gorgeous. Easy trips to Bar Harbour/Acadia. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and the house was stocked well in the kitchen and with outdoor supplies (beach chairs, towels, corn hole …). An unforgettable vacation

Beautiful with the comforts of home
Lucy and Paul are great hosts and their home is beautiful. It was perfect for me and my family. It was 5 minutes from a state park and beach and only 30 to Acadia National Park, which we visited quite a bit. The two rooms upstairs were clean and nicely decorated. The beds were really comfortable. I don't think my children have ever slept in so late, even at home. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The kitchen was stocked with everything someone who loves to cook could ever want. We used the professional grade mixer to make my husband a birthday cake. My favorite part of the house was the sunroom and back yard. The pictures online don't do it justice. The firepit and summer kitchen were amazing. Last, but certainly not least were the fresh flowers they left for our arrival. The flowers were the same as our wedding flowers. We loved every second of our stay, even when we had to do a bit of remote work using the high speed wifi.

Perfect place!
Hodgkins House was the perfect house for our family. It's on a beautiful piece of property and the view of the ocean is stunning. Paul and Lucy were the most attentive hosts, and the house, specifically the kitchen, was very well stocked. It felt like I was staying with family. I would absolutely stay here again.

Delightful stay
Our VRBO rental was wonderful and we were comfortable and relaxed as soon as we a
walked in the door of this lovely home. We were pleasantly surprised and delighted to find a well stocked kitchen since at least 2 of us love to cook. The surrounding property and the bay view, as well as the proximity to places of interest were added bonuses.

The pictures don’t do The Hodgkins House justice. The property is beautiful. The homeowners welcomed us and we wanted for nothing. We enjoyed seeing Acadia National Park, kayaking in Frenchman’s Bay, and nights by the fire pit! 5 stars!!

Phenomenal home away from home
Hodgkins House was just perfect for our vacation. The only complaint I have is that we did not stay long enough. It was very clean upon arrival, and Lucy and Paul are phenomenal hosts. The location is convenient to anything you’d want to do in Down East Maine, but it’s still private so you feel like you have a retreat. The views of Cadillac Mountain and Mont Desert Island by the fire pit made out evenings. Just perfect for our multigenerational group, with room to spread out or to be together! Highly recommend.

Tranquil, cozy and convenient
We very much enjoyed our time in this home. The home was well stocked and the layout was perfect for our family of 6. The backyard with the view and the space to play and relax was ideal. The sun porch was a particular favorite. The house is convenient to most things you would want to do, including groceries. Down the road is a small beach that was not crowded and easy to access. We went into Acadia three days of the week and the distance was perfectly fine for day trips to shop, hike and sit on sand beach. The owners communicated well with us. We left with very happy memories.

Peaceful Getaway
The property is exactly as described in the listing, everything was absolutely perfect. The location is close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia to enjoy both of them, but far enough away that you can get away from the crowds. The view from the backyard will make you have second thoughts about ever leaving. We are already starting to plan our next trip and hope to stay here again.

Perfect getaway
The owner was more than accommodating, the house is wonderful. It was a dream to even stay here for a week. I couldn't even imagine how nice it would be to live in a place like this. Perfect weather. Perfect driving distance to everything but very quiet.
