A relaxing and peaceful getaway
We truly enjoyed Bella Cottage. It was a great central location for all we wanted to do. It was very clean and well stocked with the neccesary essentials. Very comfortable and easy to figure out how to work all appliances and heating system. The view of Hancock Pond was magnificent from the cottage and had a nice deck from which to enjoy as well! We recommend Bella Cottage completely!

Bucksport Cabin
Property was very clean, as shown in pictures. Very close to Ft. Knox and downtown Bucksport. 1 hour drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Great location on Handcock Pond. Would definitely recommend. Owner and local agent are very responsive and great to work with.

Excellent relaxing vacation!
Absolutely wonderful to spend a relaxing week on Hancock pond at Bella Cottage. Plenty of space for our family of four (kids 12 and 8). We enjoyed the kayaks, swimming, fire pit, and the comfortable recliners for movie time. Close to lots of great ice cream spots, the Observation Bridge, and Fort Knox. The kitchen was very well stocked for all the cooking we did and we also really enjoyed eating at McLeod’s and Crosby’s. Highly recommend a stop at the Unique Rock Shop!

Summer Maine Retreat
This property is lovely. Watching the morning fog roll in across the lake is so peaceful. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Our bed was comfy in the master room. The check-in procedure was a little different from other VBROs in that we had to meet the property manager to exchange the key, both for check in and out, but this didn't cause any delays. Nice folks. Nice home. We loved Maine!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Bella, owner; Sandy Robshaw Property Manager

Host profile image
We grew up in Southern California. My husband spent his summers in Bucksport as a kid working on his uncle's dairy farm. I've been a city girl my whole life with a passion for animals and fell in love with Bucksport the first time I saw it when I was 22 years old. We purchased the un-winterized 'camp' to vacation in summer before we purchased our first home! We built the new Cottage in 2005 in the same spot the old camp was located and plan to spend retirement years in the summer here.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the beauty of the lake, the wild life, close to town as well as close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, Deer Isle, Ellsworth, Bangor, Castine and Camden. We love the small town atmosphere and the closeness to larger cities for convenience.

What makes this property unique

Fantastic views from the living room of the lake to see the loons, ducks, deer, turkeys, chipmunks, butterflies, birds, turtles, squirrels, an Eagle once in awhile. The setting is so peaceful by the lake, hearing the water, birds, and the sounds of nature. The view is breath taking and sitting outdoors on the deck to enjoy it is a favorite past time. Yet it is convenient to town for groceries and restaurants and so easy to get to Bar Harbor, Searsport, Belfast, Trenton and Blue Hill, my favorites. The house is a cottage, but with all the modern conveniences, modern kitchen, AIR CONDITIONING in living room and Master Bedroom, reclining leather couch and chairs, great master suite, front load oversize washer and dryer, internet, central vacuum, and a 65'' HDTV very private and peaceful -- a slice of heaven!
