About this house rental
The house, nestled amongst the trees and sitting very close to the shore creates privacy while providing stunning views of the special reversing tidal falls - an ever-changing landscape to enjoy. A great place to stay all day or come back to after Acadian adventures.
This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath year round home has views from every room. Downstairs has a master suite with queen bed and full bath. Complete kitchen opens up to a dining and living area. Half bath is downstairs. Upstairs are the other two bedrooms -both with a queen bed and one single bed. One bedroom also has a large desk for writing or other projects. Also on the second floor is the cathedral ceilinged artist studio, and full bath. Hardwood floors in the large studio make for a great room to dance, create, read, play music or listen to a great assortment of Classical, jazz, and rock vinyl records.
It's a great set-up for a multigenerational family with the older generation downstairs and the younger upstairs..
The large deck off the downstairs makes for outdoor dining and socializing all while listening to and watching the rush and ever-changing landscape of the tidal falls. Many marine mammal and bird (including eagles, osprey and loons) sightings await.
The walk down to the shore has paths amongst a mature, landscaped garden. Sit in an Adirondack chair by the fire pit and practically be on the Falls.
Enjoy the best of Downeast Maine with trips to Mount Desert and Acadia, or to Acadia's Schoodic Peninsula. Hancock has many fine restaurants to enjoy. Ellsworth is just 15 minutes away for shopping.

Tidy Maine home in a beautiful location overlooking tidal falls. We loved waking up to the bay in front with eiders and loons, a bald eagle, then returning to the "falls" at low tide after spending the day exploring Acadia and visiting family. The record player was an added bonus, with excellent classical music selection! The kids loved the upstairs living area with plenty of light to draw, play games (and watch TV of course) - we all appreciated the gorgeous stained glass windows in that space as well as panels throughout the house. We hope to make this an annual spot for our little family to return to!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tidal Falls house a few weeks ago. It was the perfect location to have as a “home base” while visiting Acadia National Park and other areas on the coast.The home is spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. It was almost as if you were walking into someone’s home that you were house-sitting for the week. Unless you need something specific or unique, there was no need to pick up spices or condiments for the stay. There were plenty of linens, pillows, towels, etc.Every bedroom has a view of the bay…such a treat! There were nearly always ducks paddling by, and twice we saw otters, which I didn’t realize at the time was a little unusual for the time we were there. We didn’t see any eagles, but I’m sure they were around.You can see the reversing falls at the Tidal Falls Preserve from the back deck…it’s just one road up. Be sure to stop in there and enjoy that area! It took us about 45 minutes to get from the house in Hancock to Acadia National Park, but the drive was nice. There are larger shops and numerous restaurants in Ellsworth, which is not too far away. We tended to fix our own breakfast at the house, and then be out and about for lunch, often bringing leftovers home for supper. Although there were neighboring houses on either side of us, it still felt private. Lydia, the host, is very responsive. I had a couple questions just prior to our check in, and she was quick to respond. Highly recommend!

The view was spectacular!!! The beds where comfortable! When we arrived it was like walking into a fish market. The people before us must of cooked a lot of fish. Heads up if you cook fish set out a bowl of vinegar to absorb the smell. There also was a musty smell I’m sure being in the humid and close to water area that’s difficult to control. The place could definitely use some TLC. Just bring candles to mask smell.
