Adorable Peaceful Cottage

This little cottage is adorable and in a great location. Although it's off a well-traveled road, it's tucked away in nature. Sitting on the porch and watching the wildlife every morning and evening was a highlight. The kitchen was easy to work in and the bathroom had great water pressure. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great setting close to town

Comfortable, light and airy in nice setting with everything you need to cook in or close enough to walk to SW Harbor restaurants. Nice outdoor space and easy walk up to Main St to catch the Island explorer bus. Great hiking nearby. Hosts very responsive will definitely stay again.

A cozy, comfortable place with an incredibly well-stocked kitchen in terms of supplies for cooking. A great home base for exploring Mt. Desert Island. We loved it.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY

Elena, Terry and Pip were great hosts and the Little House is a wonderful place to stay. Easy access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. After a day spent outdoors, it was nice to come back and be able to relax. The Little house is very peaceful and well kept. We really enjoyed sitting out in the garden area and reading or talking about the day. Wonderful place, great vacation. Jay & Christie Provo 6/24

Great location and house!

We loved our time at The Little House. The location is stunning, it is right by Acadia but also close to the shops and restaurants in Southwest Harbor. We were here for the MDI Marathon and really enjoyed the stay. The house is clean and very cute with everything you'd need.

Perfect Cottage and Location!

We had a great stay in a perfect place and fantastic location. We had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped with all the kitchen tools you could possibly need. I brought my popover pans to make popovers and had access to all the necessary kitchen gadgets. The location is close to hiking, biking, restaurants, shopping and really anywhere you want to go on MDI. So nice to come back to a quiet, peaceful place after days filled with adventure. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing Stay at Little House

Very convenient location in close proximity to Acadia Nat'l Park sites, Southwest Harbor Main Street and to all of Mount Desert Island. Lovely garden to relax and read after time spent hiking or biking. Pip, the owner's dog, is a friendly added value benefit.

Southwest Harbor, ME

The Little House was a wonderful place to stay while we were visiting Acadia National Park. It had every amenity that we could possibly need in a beautiful, peaceful setting, while being close enough to the park to hike each day. Elena was a wonderful host. We loved having coffee and watching the deer in the field every morning and sitting on the porch in the late afternoon.

Little Cottage

Great location for SW Harbor events. Not that far away from Bar Harbor and its activities. Milagro coffee shop within walking distance. The cottage could be improved with a firmer sofa for lounging or tv watching. Great color scheme in rooms. Great size for two guests, and while there is another bedroom, it might be a stretch to have more than 2 guests.

We loved our stay at the Little House!

The pictures really don't do the space justice. It's so bright and cozy. Location was perfect with easy access to the shops and restaurants in Southwest Harbor (~15 minute walk) and a short drive to numerous hikes on the quiet side of MDI. Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable place to retreat to after exploring the island!

A Perfect Acadia Home Base

We loved our time at the Little House—located in an off the beaten path village. Elena was great with knowing what was open/closed due to COVID and providing tips for local hikes and bites. The Little House was the perfect place to get a lot of relaxing and recharging done!

Nice quiet stay

We enjoyed staying on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island. It was easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. The property itself was comfortable and quiet, and it was wonderful being in a place that not only tolerated our dog, but had a dog bed for her!
