Hanscom's Motel & Cottages has been a favorite destination for families vacationing in the Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park region since the early 1950's.
The Cottages & Motel Units were built by Elwood "Hap" Hanscom and have been operated by three generations of Hanscoms. We are year round residents of Mt. Desert Island and have a great knowledge of all the activities this beautiful island has to offer. You will always be able to find a Hanscom family member on the grounds to help you with your questions.
We offer 12 cottages / motel units on a large piece of property with attractively landscaped grounds which provide guests with both privacy and beauty. We have a shaded picnic area with tables and gas grills for your enjoyment.
An outdoor heated swimming pool with sundeck is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. You'll enjoy our flower gardens and the many giant red oak trees that dominate our property .
We are centrally located and only a short distance from all the things you'll want to do and see on your vacation. Only 1 ½ miles to the main entrance to Acadia National Park, 2 ½ miles to the Bluenose Ferry Terminal, and 3 miles to the village of Bar Harbor.
