My husband and I just stayed for about week in this wonderful property right on the beach of Jellison Cove as our home base for exploring Acadia NP, Schoodic Peninsula, and Petit Manan. We could not have imagined a better place to stay! The home itself is charming and comfortable, and the beach access to the cove/bay is absolutely amazing. As an amateur naturalist and photographer, I spent the early morning and late afternoon/evening hours before/after our day trips to Acadia and environs happily photographing the shells, rocks, jellyfish, and birds brought by the ocean to the shore, which is only a few steps from the yard. Wild lupine was beautifully in bloom, too. We had easy drives under 20-30 minutes to the entrance to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, Schoodic Peninsula, Corea, Ellsworth/Trenton. The peninsula with Hancock itself that the house is on also had wonderful preserves we explored (Tidal Falls, Salt Pond). We got dinner to go from Ironbound several nights and it was great. Judy is a wonderful hostess who provided great recommendations for things to see and do, was always immediately responsive for any questions we had, and truly made sure we felt welcomed and encouraged to have a great stay and trip. We had booked a hotel room in Bar Harbor for our last night of our trip, and I ended up hating that decision because I just wanted to stay at Judy’s house on the cove one more night. I’m already wanting to return! Highly recommend this listing!
