Hanscom's Cottages are delightful, right-sized, modern and clean. Obviously recentlyremodeled. We've stayed in much more expensive motels, and none of them can match this. It is pet friendly, and apparantly, all pet owners pick up after their pets. It is clean inside and out. It is about 4 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor and priced right.. We are delighted we... more

Finding bugs in your sheets is not the way to start a vacation. 3 couples stayed here overnight. We were catching an early morning ferry to Nova Scotia. The rooms themselves were basically OK, appearing renovated in the recent past. The location was good for catching the ferry. But when one couple pulled back the bedding to jump into bed... more

After reading a couple of the other reviews, I'm glad we decided to go here anyway. We stayed in Cottage 1 and while a review stated that this was the most undesired of the rooms, we found it to be the best. The layout was just right and the space fantastic. Perhaps it was because of the time of the... more

We traveled to Bar Harbor for one night and booked with Hanscoms because it was the cheaper of the available places to stay. Upon arrival, it took us several hours to get our internet connected and when we did, it only gave us a couple of bars. The bed was very uncomfortable...and when I went to try to fix it,... more

The bed was so hard and uncomfortable that we had to ask for extra blankets to try and pad the bed, and when all they gave us were these warn out old blankets, I... more

We stayed at Hanscom's for three nights. There were several positives and a couple of negatives. The location was excellent. We were two miles from the entrance to Acadia and four from Bar Harbor. The cabin was a nice size and decorated in a cute and cozy way. It was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The cabins were set... more

This is family-run, and what a great family - very friendly and helpful to us in planning activities. They went way “above and beyond” in service! We had a cottage with a full kitchen, and it was everything we could ask for - spotlessly clean, comfortable bed with beautiful quilt, and very close to Acadia National Park. If you want... more

My husband and I hadn't taken a real vacation in about 8 years, so we both wanted our trip to Mt. Pleasant Island/Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor to be special. We planned late, had trouble finding reservations, so I was relieved when Hanscom's was able to accommodate us. At first, we were told that we had to move from cottage to... more
