Winter Stay
First time staying in Bar Harbor in the colder months. We were warm and toasty. The kitchenette gave us all we needed to make a hot cuppa. Enjoyed the "touchless" check-in and out.

The unit was modern, extremely clean. Community fire pits stocked with plenty of wood just bring your own marshmallows 😎. We loved the communication. We received a welcome text the day before our visit and a text the day of our visit with the room code so there was no check in required.

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.
