About this property

Relax & Enjoy Beautiful Views From This 2BR with Loft Cottage On the Sea

Come and enjoy a vacation to remember at The Little Dipper Cottage! This cottage is located on an acre of waterfront land. The cottage sits on a quiet peninsula of the Little River, uniquely positioned at one end of the Little River Dam. Only minutes from Boothbay Harbor -- a fantastic tourist area with whale watching, restaurants, and shopping! This cottage is non-smoking and is perfect for both couples and families with children. East Boothbay, and Glen Cove in particular, is very dog-friendly. Well-behaved dogs are welcome!

The salt water cove, called Glen Cove, was formed in the 1920s by damming the Little River to form the world's largest salt water swimming pool. Swim in the cool water while enjoying the stunning beauty this location offers. Launch your kayaks or canoe from our private dock in the cove side of the dam. Or take a short 10 minute stroll to view the Atlantic ocean. One of the reasons we named this cottage "The Little Dipper" is because of the amazing night views of the Milky Way, unobstructed on a non-cloudy evening when you walk onto the dam at night. (The other is the obvious swim-ability of the cove.)

One of the amazing aspects of this quiet property is the the large, well furnished screened porch with ceiling fan. Sit and enjoy a cool breeze off the water as you watch the sun rise - or enjoy a book as your children play a card game. The screened porch is non-smoking as well.

There are 2 bedrooms, living/dining area, well-appointed kitchen, and 1 full bathroom on the main floor with wide, knotty pine floors throughout. With large windows and skylights, the main room remains sunny and airy throughout the day. The larger of the two bedrooms has a view of the water, a queen bed with new mattress, large closet, and ceiling fan. The second bedroom has sturdy bunk beds. Bathroom has tub/shower combo with great water pressure, large vanity, and a separate toilet room. In addition, there is a large carpeted loft accessible via a "ships ladder." The loft makes for a terrific play area for older kids while adults might find the low ceiling a challenge.

The living room has a comfortable new couch and chairs, flat screen TV with internet access (no cable), Blue Ray/DVD, and stereo. WiFi is available throughout. The kitchen has an electric stove/oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, and ample cooking equipment including a full sized lobster pot! The dining table has seating for six and can expand with two built-in leaves. A full-sized new washer and dryer are available for use in the basement.

There are also french doors that provide easy access to a clearing next to the water where you can watch ducks, geese, and egrets and even spot an eagle. Two Adirondack chairs and a fire pit offers a great spot to enjoy the sounds of the water while making s'mores.

Finally, this cabin is assigned two convenient parking spaces, large enough to accommodate a trailer.

Questionable
The inside of the cabin was clean, well-kept, and well stocked. The outside needed some grooming attention. Our biggest disappointment was the beautiful washer and dryer in the unkept basement, which was only accessible from the outside.

A Charming Retreat
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Little Dipper! The cabin was clean and spacious with a wonderful patio room. We enjoyed the town being so close and the coast right around the corner and a lovely walk. We cooked and ate lobster on the patio. Kayaked off the dock and enjoyed the milky way. The fire pit made for wonderful star gazing and of course smores. We enjoyed games and puzzles the hostess had for our use. We all slept wonderfully the beds are comfy. The pictures do not do this cabin justice it was a lovely retreat. Quiet and away from the hustle and bustle but so close to restaurants, downtown and the ocean.

A gorgeous and well cared for refuge in a spectacular setting
We loved being surrounded by water and in an area that was so very tranquil. Leslie was more than gracious and accommodating and went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. It is really a retreat to be there yet at the same time not far from many restaurants and Maine activities. A wonderful vacation!

Serenity and comfort
Everything about our stay was perfect - the comfortable and bright cottage and tranquil yard overlooking the water. Leslie was responsive (and friendly) from booking through check out. Located on a private cul-de-sac, the property is close to the harbor, shopping, restaurants. A lovely, restorative vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Dietiker

Host profile image
We are former Californians who went to graduate school in Michigan and then settled with jobs at Boston University! Making Maine our second home only makes sense - it reminds us of the nature plentiful in Northern CA and the New England feel of our new Massachusetts home. We have two boys , and 2 dogs (Eugene and Pepper). We also rent a cabin in Boothbay Harbor with sandy beach access! If the week you want is not available, check out Deer Creek Cabin in Sprucewold (#2692441).

Why they chose this property

The dam is the first place I have seen so many stars in the sky at night - all at once! It lets the sea water from the Little River pass in and out for tides - which offers a wonderful walkway with the sound of rushing water. Our trees shade the buildings but yet allow ample views of the water to catch lovely birds and the jumping fish!

What makes this property unique

This location is on a cudesac off of a country road - it is rare to see or hear a car nearby. We love kayaking on the cove - on a warm day, it feels 10° cooler on the water. However, when you want to explore away from home, there is plenty of entertainment and shops nearby as well - Boothbay Harbor (about 15 minutes drive) is a lovely seaport village with craft fairs, whale watching, and wonderful restaurants. Closer to home, in East Boothbay, the General Store has a surprising selection of wonderful sandwiches, along with all the vacation staples (i.e., ice cream and beer). One of the best aspects we love is the ability to talk long walks and see amazing views of water in all directions!
