Nice cozy place
4.5
Room so small that it felt cramped with our suitcases. On the plus side the shower was wonderful. Great water pressure, nice shower head and ultra hot water. Convenient location to Acadia. Not many outlets or lighting. Overall too small for me but otherwise it worked.

We had an amazing stay at the cottages and the staff were so friendly and welcoming! We cannot wait to come back in the near future!

Loved the place!

We enjoyed our stay at Hanscom’s Cottages. It was comfy, cozy, and a little outdoorsy. We took advantage of their well supplied campfire sites. I just wish they had small s’mores kits to purchase.

everything about this place was perfect!

They did a really good job with the cottages, and great easy check in and communications via 24 hour text if needed- convenient! Also pet friendly :)
4.5
Great hotel, we would stay there again.
The only suggestion would be to add a light at the entrance of the driveway - it's hard to see at night and the way the driveway is made there is a risk to hit the curb.
Other than that it was great! Not right in Bar Harbor, so you have to pay for parking when you go to town, but it makes the hotel quieter :)

What a cozy place! It was very clean and had all the basic things you need.

Lovely stay, we were very happy about everything here!
4.5
First time in Maine and road tripping from Ontario. We chose to stay here in a whim and have absolutely no regrets. The check-in process was very quick and the cottage was so beautiful. Lots of amenities on the property, including picnic areas and fire pits/firewood for private use. Easy to find and very close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We would definitely return if ever in Maine again… this place deserves nothing less than 5 stars!

Quiet cabins! Helpful staff
4.5
What a charming place!!! We rented 7 of their 12 Cottages and Motel Units and had a wonderful week! They provide everything you'd expect PLUS more like Wood/Lighters and Fire starters - or a propane gas firepit if you prefer. Plenty of outdoor space!! The motel units are JUST as spacious and charming as the stand alone cottages - each is well
Appointed and remodeled so nicely! Comfy beds, luxurious bedding and well stocked kitchen - we cooked all week! Location is perfect just between Bar Harbor and Acadia's Hull Cove entrance. Access to local beach is great but involves climbing on 5 ft cliff ledge/boulders to get down so only for the younger or fitter crowd. Nice grills and space for Cornhole that they provide! Plus lots of outdoor seating. Great spaces for walking your dogs too! We loved all 7 cottages! Sparkling clean and cleaned upon request.

Liked the outdoor seating options. The
Location was a short drive into town.

Hot water was a bit slow to get. It’d take about 5 minutes for the hot water to even start when using the shower. Other than that, this property was very nice. Cute little cottages with everything you’d need for a hiking vacation. The owner was very responsive and nice. Great amenities on the property too which you don’t see in many other places. Will certainly book here again in the future if we return to Acadia.
4.5
The cottage was very cute and included all necessities that we needed in the kitchen. It was a 15-20 minute drive to the downtown area. There is a post office and gas station nearby. The property was very quiet. There was firewood, fire pits, and patio chairs for communal use. On the negative side, the shower and really low water pressure and the water didn’t get hot. After it ran for a long time, it ramped up to lukewarm and that’s as far as it got. While the bed was comfortable, it was super squeaky. Every time I rolled over, it protested.

Hanscom’s was a wonderful, clean and charming high-end motel right outside downtown Bar Harbor. The room was new and clean, and we really enjoyed our stay!!
4.5
Wonderful stay. Everything was clean and we were well taken care of. Communication was great and check in and out was easy. Great place to stay for visiting Acadia park.
4.5
The unit was wonderful!
Wasn’t given the door code so I had to call a number on the door at the office.
However…it was handled quickly & professionally. A 60 second inconvenience.
I will recommend this place!!

Great experience
4.5
The cottage is very cute and cozy and easy to find. Close to downtown Bar Harbor. Nice self check in process.
Only concerns: bathroom fan is very loud and disconcerting. Bathroom did not have a window covering and there are neighbors outside that window. Our solution was to steam up the mirrors in order to fog up the window!
4.5
We loved our cottage! We are on an extended vacation, Bar Harbor was one of our stops. Hanscom’s was just what we needed. Just perfect!

This place was absolutely beautiful I recommend you bring your own pan if your going to be cooking though!
4.5
This property was super adorable and cozy. It feels like your in the middle of the forest with campfires for the guests to enjoy. You're close to the water and Acadia National Park. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short 1 day cause of Hurricane Lee and the hotel was super understanding and were willing to give us a refund the night we had to leave.
