Start your days picking wild blueberries, August and September only, for your very own muffins, cereal or pancakes. Just a quick jaunt off from the deck will land you in the blueberry bushes atop the ledge.

Opportunities are endless, including whale watch trips, boat rentals, fishing, swimming, kayaking, shopping, tennis or make use of the many hiking trails. Ellsworth is only seven minutes away, where you will find a variety of shops and stores. However, country stores are nearby for all your basic needs.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Hancock, Maine

Along with the view you will enjoy board games, cards, puzzles, books, or peaceful moments awaiting the changing of the tide every 6 hours, which offers a new and exciting view every day. Each room is complete with large windows and sliding glass doors opening onto a large, private deck overlooking the bay. The home is located on a private lot offering 600 feet of rugged, bold, ledge frontage where the home sits on a point high above the shore 75 feet from water's edge. A heads up for parents with small children: although the ledge frontage is beautiful, in places it is very steep and drops dramatically into the bay.

Review Submitted: July 4, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We had a wonderful time exploring Acadia National Park and all of Bar Harbor and points one hour north. Our accomodations at Blueberry Ledge were first class and made us feel as if we were home. We loved the exclusivity together with the great view at Frenchman's Bay. We look forward to our first opportunity to visit this idyllic setting very soon. We extend our appreciation to Bill and Wanda for all that you did to make our trip so memeorable. Maine is blessed to have you as their residents and proud citizens.

Hi Wanda:

It is amazing that we got the kids to leave the cottage. They wanted to literally stay forever. Blueberry Ledge is truly a beautiful cottage with outstanding and soothing views of the bay. Our family really had one of our best vacations ever taking in all of Maine's beauty, exploring, boating, climbing, hiking and just relaxing at Blueberry Ledge. We all had a wonderful time and I am sure we will be back to visit again real soon! Thanks for making it such a memorable experience.

Thanks for everything,
Kris, Rob, Matthew and Julia Rutkowski

Thankyou for given us the opportunity to stay in an amazing place.

Thanks again,

Dear Wanda and Bill
What a wonderful time we had visiting Bluberry Ledge. Your personal touch (including the blueberry muffins) much appreciated. We explored all of Acadia National Park hiking and biking our way around. We also kayaked right from your cottage and were lucky enough to see a beautiful bald eagle on the islands nearby. Hope to visit again.

Dear Wanda & Bill,
What a wonderful vacation home. My kids never wanted to leave the house, they just wanted to play on the basement "rock", canoe in the bay, or wait until the tide was out and play in the mud! The home is beautiful and well stocked. I would enjoy my morning coffee in the chairs on the "point" and just relax and enjoy the view.
We enjoyed.........
the sunset on top of Cadillac Mtn.
Bartlett Winery & Bar Harbor Brewery
Great buys at Reny's
A day trip to Moosehead Lake, getting up close and personal with a moose!!
Hiking at Petit Manan NWR
Rt 1 seaside towns along the way to Rockland.
I highly recommmend this home for your vacation anytime of year!
Thanks again,
The Higgins Family
