I had a wonderful one-night stay at Hanscom Cottages & Motel! The room was clean, cozy, and surprisingly spacious. It was very pet-friendly, which made traveling with my pups so much easier. Check-in and check-out were quick and seamless, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. It was only a 7-min drive to Acadia NP! I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay!
