We absolutely loved our stay at Hannah’s in Vinalhaven, what a special place. The cottage is situated in a private cove right on the water - the view can’t be beat! You definitely need a car to access it and get around the island easily - nothing is more than a 15 min drive away. We had a great time taking hikes around the island, swimming in freshwater quarries, taking out the canoe on the water (we loved spotting seals!) and relaxing at the cottage playing board games and reading. We had to sneak in a couple work calls and wifi was strong enough to facilitate that. It was perfect for a couple but could comfortably sleep 4 people. Hannah was super responsive, welcoming and helpful. We so appreciate her sharing her home with us!
