Autumn Visit to Maine
My husband and I, along with our dog, enjoyed a three day stay at this terrific property in Hancock Maine. The house is ideally situated a short drive to Ellsworth, and a half-hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It is at the end of a long driveway and surrounded by grass and lush forest. Our dog loved the yard! The house itself is very comfortable and well appointed, with everything required to make a stay complete.

Family Trip to Acadia
The Wanderlust was great for our family trip to Acadia. The host was very easy to communicate with, and checkin/checkout were a breeze. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The four bedrooms each had a different layout, which was perfect to accommodate both the adults and kids. The kids also enjoyed playing in the large yard. The house is close to several grocery stores and restaurants and about 30-40 mins from anything in Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was a perfect home base for our trip!

Perfect stay
The house was a great place to stay with a great location . The house sits off the road so it provides a nice retreat and play area for kids. The house would be good for a big family as there were many sleeping options and was well equipped with supplies for your stay.We enjoyed the restaurant Ruth and Wimpy’s that was close. Short drive to Acadia National Park.
