Room was big, clean and comfortable. We didn’t really use the kitchen but it was nice to have the option. The property is very silent and peaceful despite being close to the road. It was nice to sit under the trees after a long day. Check in and out was easy and smooth. This is not in downtown Bar Harbor but we didn’t mind as it was a short ride and we weren’t in the middle of the hustle downtown. This place is actually more convenient than hotels downtown for accessing Acadia National Park - it is closer to the Hulls cove visitor center where all the shuttles leave from, which is nice to have given how quickly the parking lots fill up at the trailheads. Lots of dining options and coffee shops within 5min by car. Would recommend!

Overall no major concerns. We wish there was tea available in the room for the price we paid. There was a kettle and coffee but no tea bags. I’m sure we could have gone ask but when we noticed it was after hours and we were there during a holiday so we didn’t get the chance. The shower was a bit small but I guess once the place is built that’s hard to change. Also the wifi worked better in certain spots inside the room but not all - best wifi connection was actually outside in the courtyard.

You all have done a wonderful job turning a roadside cottage-style motel into a solid property. We appreciated the light-nature of the rooms and small touches including things like a fresh sponge, travel-size dish soap, as well as the obvious attenion to detail when it came to things like the retro refrigerator look, fluffy towels, etc. And, the outdoor grill / fire pit / corn hole etc area was great to spend some family time together. All in all, we really enjoyed your property.

Over the course of traveling on a 3-week road trip this was the most expensive property we stayed in. It's somewhat understandable given the proximity to Acadia, yet simultaneously a negative.

Hanscom's was a DELIGHT! We had never been to Bar Harbor & our stay at Hanscom's helped us have the perfect visit. The rooms have been recently & expertly decorated. Their interior designer is a genius because everything fit perfectly. There is a purpose behind every single detail, yet the furnishings are beautiful. It's minimalist decor because of the size, but it doesn't feel minimalist. We had 2 different types of rooms. One for us & one for our 3 kids. Our room had a queen bed, 2 bedside tables, a full size comfortably chair, a bench at the foot of the bed, a full-size chest for the TV & a collapsible leather folding chair PLUS a bar height mini island with 2 stools. That mini island served as both a table for quick meals & a workstation for my husband. Our kids' room also had a queen bed, but instead of the 2 chairs, there was a full size 3 cushion sofa that pulled out to a queen sofa bed. 2 bedside tables for the queen bed & 2 end tables for the sofa. This room had a little dining table with a few chairs that tucked perfectly against the wall. Both rooms had full bathrooms with showers, no tub. We don't use tubs & don't require them while traveling, so not an issue for us. Both rooms were furnished with efficiency kitchens that we put to use! They were perfect for making light meals. The small fridge/freezers were also extremely helpful. Each room had a keurig & came with 4 regular coffee pods & 2 decaf. Creamer & sugar/sugar substitute provided. Each kitchen had literally everything you need to cook a light meal. Decent knives, a few pots & pans, cutting board, utensils. Microwaves & electric cooking ranges in the rooms, no ovens. The towels were wonderful!!!!! Bed linens were good. Mattresses could use a refresh in terms of comfort, but we made do & it didn't keep up from thoroughly enjoying our stay! We also loved having the fire pit & corn hole.

When I hear motel and cottages, my expectations are on the lower end. I was presently surprised when we opened the door to our cottage, however! The room was great and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, etc. While we didn't use the outdoor amenities, it was nice to see there were grills and fire-pits along with corn hole boards. Very lovely accommodations!

Would have been nice if they were a bit closer to downtown Bar Harbor but I'm sure the price would have gone up if that were the case!

Beautiful studio room in a gorgeous tree filled location. Quiet and quaint and great price for the area. Dedicated parking per room was a great perk. Very comfortable beds with soft linens throughout. I loved the outdoor extras (hammock, fire place with wood provided, BBQ, yard games, etc). In room Keurig with decent coffee as well. My in laws room had the cutest retro fridge!

People can’t smoke in the rooms but they can on the property. A smoker was anchored to their gorgeous outdoor space during a portion of our stay, so we couldn’t use it (thanks awful allergies). The room was so, so beautiful and comfortable but the shower was itty bitty! I felt like a jerk for the folks next to us from hitting the walls with my elbows. I don’t doubt I woke up our neighbors. I couldn’t bend over to shave my legs, which was annoying but I have to admit, I did laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.

The cottage was so cute and comfortable. The cleaners do not clean under sofa or bed.....large dust bunnies....many of them. Everything for a nice stay was provided...such as coffee, microwave, cornhole game, firepits with outside chairs, and more. Two downfalls were the excessive diet/dust under bed and the fact that we did not receive a text with check in information. We arrived and office was closed, so we called and staff said we should have had a text with our cottage number and door code. Because we did not get such a text, she was kind enough to provide us the information needed.

Clean under bed and be sure to send check in information.

Everything about the property was fantastic. The location is perfect but also quiet and was quick and easy to get to downtown Bar Harbor. The room was big enough to fit two adults and two dogs easy along with everything inside being modern! The staff was also amazing since we had an emergency overnight package that was getting delivered the next morning. They made sure to be available to receive the package and assured us to feel free to grab breakfast since they will contact us once it was received. The team went above and beyond, would easily stay again! :)

Absolutely nothing. :)

The location in relation to the national park and downtown bar harbor was great! It was just far enough away from everything that was super busy, while still being close enough that it was not a long drive to get to where we wanted to be!

There was not much we did not like about our stay! Our only point of feedback would be that in the event that the hotel ever does any renovations to the rooms/cottages, that there is some focus on the size of the bathroom, specifically the showers! Everything was great, the water pressure and temperature were fantastic, however, it felt as if we were showering in a phone booth.

Loved the location and ease of check in! Love that there is a fire pit and grills. Overall we LOVED our stay and will absolutely be back!! Very dog friendly and that was a huge plus!!

I checked under the bed before we left to make sure I didn’t drop anything under there… yikes! Lots of dust and spider webs under the chair. The window in the bathroom was also broken (the mechanism to open the window). Nothing was a deal breaker though - it still was a really great stay!

1. Location, location, location! It is just around the corner from Acadia NP entrance. And only a few miles from in-town Bar Harbor. 2. So clean! 3. Very comfortable accommodations 4. Although we never saw a staff member, they were accessible and responsive via text. 5. Outside community areas lead us to getting to know other travelers as we visited around the fire pit in the evening.
