A slice of heaven...

Submitted: September 2, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
The Little Dipper cottage exceeded our expectations...spectacular views, perfectly located, beautifully appointed...our family of 5 (with children ranging ages 5-15) plus some additional friends (we had up to 8 stay with plenty of room and comfort) made memories to last a lifetime..exploring Boothbay Harbor, sailing, beach combing...but we especially enjoyed sitting on the screened porch relaxing and taking in the picture perfect scenery...we are looking forward to our return for many more summers to come!

Gorgeous Home

5 of 5
Submitted: July 21, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
I'm always nervous that rental properties won't live up to the pictures on the internet, but this one certainly did. It is a beautiful home, quiet location, great view, and very clean. The whole house is full of light, and the colors used made for a very restful atmosphere. There are great views from nearly every window. Even the dishes were pretty! You can tell the owners paid attention to every detail during the renovation. The screened porch was heavenly, as was the sunroom and upstairs living area. It is a quick and scenic drive into the town of Boothbay Harbor, where there is plenty to do. However, the home is so beautiful it was tempting to just stay there the whole time. The lawn in back is a great play area for kids. Besides some activities in Boothbay, we made day trips to Pemaquid Point and Reid State Park, which were wonderful. The owners were very responsive and helpful during the whole rental process. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Dream Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: May 5, 2009 Stayed: July 2008
When I arrived at the Little Dipper Cottage, I was amazed at the pure beauty of the craftsmanship. The photos of the cottage do not do it justice, it's truly the most amazing place. I actually got married in the front yard of this cottage. It was everything I had ever dreamed my wedding could be. I felt like the decor was straight out of a Martha Stewart guide book.

The Little Dipper Cottage is a slice of Heaven!

5 of 5
Submitted: June 30, 2008 Stayed: June 2008
My family just got back from a one-week vacation. It was the first time we've been to Maine, and we can't wait to get back! There were six of us with 4 children ranging in ages from 2 - 18. The house was perfect for us and just so beautiful and welcoming. The decor is so appealing and the outside setting for the home is perfect. We rented kayaks and went out many days and kayaked with seals! Ocean Point was beautiful; we even took a day trip to Acadia National Park. We ate at the house almost every night - the kitchen is fully equipped. we highly recommend the Little Dipper Cottage; George and Kathy -- thank you for letting us create incredible memories!
