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!
