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 a pleasant 2 night stay at Hanscom's. Property is clean and the kitchen was great for preparing our lunches for the day before heading out to Acadia. Parking was convenient, wifi was adequate, and the AC worked well. At night, we were able to hear the noise of cars from the main road and a little bit of noise from our neighbors, but it wasn't bad and it didn't interfere with our sleep. Overall, this was a great stay. Totally recommended.

Acadia motel with down home comfort
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.
