Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The location is just what we wanted. The cottage was so well stocked that we really just needed clothes and food for ourselves. The hosts couldn't have made things easier for us. They also communicated extremely well. Definitely would recommend a stay. We'll try and be back!

My mom and I agree, we couldn't have chosen a more relaxing place to be. The cottage was immaculate and even better than described. Our stay was very special as it was just the two of us and we now had time to pay attention to each other.The cottage was quiet and offered all the luxuries you could want. We especially enjoyed the proximity to the pond. Kayaking was awesome and peaceful. Often I was the only one on the water. We saw turtles, osprey and 2 bald eagles, not to mention the geese and ducks that made the rounds twice a day! We couldn't have been happier-wish we could have stayed longer!

This is a well maintained property situated along a pond where you can sit peacefully by or kayak in. All the amenities that are listed in the description are accurate. The owners are very helpful and informative leading up to and during the stay. I would highly recommend staying here!

Cottage was exactly as described! Bed was comfortable and lake was wonderful. House was well equipped and clean!
Only recommendation I would have is to have a couple lounge chairs to enjoy by the lake!

We truly enjoyed Bella Cottage. It was a great central location for all we wanted to do. It was very clean and well stocked with the neccesary essentials. Very comfortable and easy to figure out how to work all appliances and heating system. The view of Hancock Pond was magnificent from the cottage and had a nice deck from which to enjoy as well! We recommend Bella Cottage completely!

Property was very clean, as shown in pictures. Very close to Ft. Knox and downtown Bucksport. 1 hour drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Great location on Handcock Pond. Would definitely recommend. Owner and local agent are very responsive and great to work with.

Absolutely wonderful to spend a relaxing week on Hancock pond at Bella Cottage. Plenty of space for our family of four (kids 12 and 8). We enjoyed the kayaks, swimming, fire pit, and the comfortable recliners for movie time. Close to lots of great ice cream spots, the Observation Bridge, and Fort Knox. The kitchen was very well stocked for all the cooking we did and we also really enjoyed eating at McLeod’s and Crosby’s. Highly recommend a stop at the Unique Rock Shop!

This property is lovely. Watching the morning fog roll in across the lake is so peaceful. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Our bed was comfy in the master room. The check-in procedure was a little different from other VBROs in that we had to meet the property manager to exchange the key, both for check in and out, but this didn't cause any delays. Nice folks. Nice home. We loved Maine!

We spent a peaceful and relaxing 10 days here. Close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor to visit, but far enough away to get away from the crowds. Bucksport is a neat little town as well. The house was super clean, and everything was well stocked and just like the pictures. If you’re into fishing the lake is some great bass fishing as well. The owners are very responsive and helpful. This one is on our “repeat” list to return! Can’t recommend this one enough!

The location of this house is wonderful. The pond is secluded, quiet and relaxing. There is one neighbor close to the property but they were quiet and respectful.
The house is clean, spacious and fit our needs perfectly. The property manager and owner weee so nice and great to deal with. We had one small problem while there and they dealt with it immediately and worked hard to make our stay enjoyable.
The only recommendation I would have is to change to keyless entry. We had to coordinate with the property manager for check in and check out. She was accommodating but it would be keyless entry would be helpful.
Thank you for allowing us to stay at this wonderful property! My family thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was hard to say “ goodbye”

This is a lovely cottage, immaculately clean in a great location. There are loons on the pond and we saw eagles and osprey fishing there too. Communication with the owners and the property manager was easy and the house is very well supplied. If we come back to this area we would definitely rent this home again.

Loved this property so much from 3 weeks last year, we opted for 10 weeks this time. We consider the owners friends and kept in contact. Was sooo tough to give the keys back yesterday. Felt so much like home. Thank you Cathy and Bob.

What a beautiful place. The pictures don’t do it justice. We had such a great time. The owner has a detailed folder with things to do, places to eat etc. The place was stocked with everything you need. Very relaxing and peaceful view. I would definitely stay here again .

Great property! Would definitely consider this as a return rental. Would have liked kayaks at the property & keyless entry. Fishing was great. It's a bitting pond! Saw osprey, eagles & ducks at various times on the pond. Had baby salamanders make their home in our kayaks. House was well stocked with kitchen, bathroom and linen supplies. About 40 minutes to Arcadia. Bucksport was a 10 minute drive to grocery store. Visit the friar house brewery for their lobster roll. Would recommend this property for a 5 people or less family gathering.

Beautiful, newly remodeled home is located on a quiet lake. Property has a kitchen with everything imaginable. The only draw back is the milweed in lake. Water shoes are a must and a raft or float for the water would make time in the water more enjoyable

This Cottage is absolutely beautiful! Had the most relaxing stay and there wasn’t one thing I didn’t enjoy. Fishing was great, water clear and warm. Loved jacuzzi tub. Stocked with everything you will ever need. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful Cottage with our family!

We had a wonderful 2 week vacation at Bella Cottage. The cottage was extremely well stocked and had everything we needed, plus the air conditioning was an added bonus! I do recommend water shoes as it makes it easier to get in and out of the water. The table and chairs on the deck are extremely comfortable we were able to see some amazing sunsets! It was tough to leave and we will be back soon. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Want to relax, sit near or on a pond, and have plenty of what you need to whip up a dinner for the family? THIS IS IT. Everything was wonderful; we particularly appreciated: a very well stocked kitchen (dishes, silverware, cooking items and appliances), comfortable porch chairs on a spacious deck, and two very clean bathrooms. We rented a canoe (The Activity Shop in Blue Hill, recommended) and enjoyed both paddling and swimming in the lake (bring water shoes). We cooked several meals and had plenty of space and the needed equipment. The double reclining couches are comfy and the Wi-Fi was a nice bonus (for when you need to re-plug into the world). Absolutely great stay!
