Local channels. Better air conditioner. It was a bit loud. Cushions on the chairs at the round table. My butt was sore after sitting in them. These are things that are not a big deal because it was a beautiful place and had everything we needed. Leslie was on point with everything. Thank you for making it great.

As first-time visitors to Maine, this was an excellent location for exploring the Boothbay area and a great place to stay. Watching the tidal changes was fascinating and kayaking in the calm waters was very enjoyable. The cottage was very comfortable and accommodating and we were glad to have found it available. On top of that, our hosts were perfect!

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!

Perfect Getaway

Little Dipper was quiet, clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location. Walks across the damn were a daily, sometimes twice daily, occurrence, that the dog loved. The cabin is far away enough for peace and quiet but close enough to many shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our time there, and Leslie was the perfect hostess!!

Fabulous stay at the Little Dipper

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The Little Dipper was clean and comfortable and the perfect location. We were conveniently located between Portland and Bar Harbor with easy access to Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset, Camden and more. The home is peaceful and quiet with beautiful views of the water. Leslie was a great host and very responsive. We would highly recommend and hope to come back some day.

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.

We had a wonderful time it was just the right size for 2 adults. The main bedroom has a queen size bed and there is a loft with 2 twin beds for kids. The kitchen has everything you need to cook if you don’t want to eat out. We spent 10 days and didn’t want to eat out all the time. It had a nice screened in porch and a fire pit next to the water. The camp was fairly close to downtown and Hannfords grocery store. The owners Leslie and Laura were very helpful with any questions we had and responded positively and quickly. If your looking for a place for 2 and on the water this is the place for you.

Cute property on a cove for our two-week stay. Owners house is attached to screen porch, but owners were away most of the time. Very thoughtful and responsive to any questions we had. Clean, quiet perfect for us.

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.

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.

Dreamy Maine Vacation

We stayed at the Little Dipper for two glorious weeks with our two dogs. The dogs loved going almost everywhere with us! The cabin was perfect, the views were lovely and the water in the cove was breathtaking! The quiet woods were restorative. The King Phillip road loop is a beautiful 2.5 mile walk with sweeping views of the inlet and the ocean. All the local restaurants we ate at offered delicious seafood. We ate at Takas, Mine Oyster, Robinson's Wharf and Lobsterman's Wharf. Our very favorite was Mine Oyster in Boothbay. We took a few days trips as the cabin is close to many other great places. We went to Bar Harbor to Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain. The summit loop offers stunning views and Jordan's Pond was beautiful. In Bar Harbor, we ate at the Chart Room and it was very good. We went to Freeport to shop and LL Bean is huge there. We ate at Jameson's Tavern there and the amount and quality of food there is incredible! Another day we went to Damariscotta and did some shopping downtown, went to North Country Wind Bells and got a Boothbay Harbor bell to remember the sounds of the buoy that sounded in the water on our walks every day. We then headed to Pemaquid Point lighthouse and ate at the Seagull Restaurant. Wonderful food and a great gift shop. The lighthouse tour and museum were fun, but the views of the rocks and ocean behind the lighthouse were absolutely beautiful! The Coastal Maine Botanical Garden was wonderful with amazing gardens like the children's garden, the sensory garden, meditation garden and the fairy garden and beautiful trails to walk. The tour was very informative and the gift shop there has unique and fun items. We visited the Maine Aquarium and had lots of fun. It's a very small aquarium, but has lots to offer. We touched everything in the touch tanks, dissected a squid in the discovery center and had a wonderful tour of the downstairs and history of the aquarium. We ate lunch at the picnic tables there and then went fishing off the pier. We caught five mackerels and they took them in to the aquarium for the tanks. Cap'n Fishes whale watching tour and the Puffin tour were great. We didn't see any large whales, but there were a few Minke whales and lots of other sea creatures. If you want a truly relaxing and fun vacation in Maine you must stay at the Little Dipper! The hosts are wonderful and the cabin had everything we needed. Kayaking in the cove was so relaxing and peaceful. Overall a GREAT vacation!

This was one of the best rental experiences I have ever had. The location is quiet and gorgeous, yet easy to get to other places in the region. We loved using the kayaks to explore the calm cove, the screened porch for dinners, the many outdoor spots to relax and take in the views, and the beautiful short walk to the shore along King Phillips Trail. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating, and left a very thoughtful welcome gift. This is a truly special place that I hope we can return to again soon!

Quiet serenity

The Little Dipper cottage was exactly what we (me, my husband, our 9 yo daughter and our 13 yo cockapoo) needed to relax and unwind for a week! The cottage was spacious and comfortable and had everything we could ask for. All the little extras did not go unnoticed as well. The setting was pure magic....the view of the beautiful seagreen water from the living room, screened porch or the Adirondack chairs was mesmerizing. We spent a lot of time on the dock relaxing, fishing, kayaking and watching the birds. It is a nature lovers dream. It's easy to see that Leslie and Laura put a lot of time, effort and money into creating this peaceful, beautiful and well-appointed cottage. We loved our stay, thank you!

Perfect Two-Week Vacation

In years past, my wife, daughter and I have taken 1-week summer vacations at various waterfront properties in New England. This year, we decided to go for 2-weeks and we couldn’t have had a more wonderful vacation than at the Little Dipper. Nested in a woodsy cul-de-sac, right on Little River Dam, we enjoyed the private fire pit, patio, and dock daily. We frequently paddled boarded, kayaked, and had cocktails at dusk on the dock. Some evenings, we relaxed by the fire pit while our daughter roasted marshmallows. The cottage itself was incredibly well-stocked, clean, and comfortable. The location, too, was just wonderful. Little Dipper is just 10 minutes from Boothbay Harbor and close to many other amazing attractions in the area. We enjoyed the Botanical Gardens, Pemaquid Point, the Railway Village Museum, and a Puffin Cruise on Cap’n Fish’s, to name a few. My wife and I also celebrated our 20th anniversary with amazing water views at the Boathouse Bistro. Leslie, the owner, checked in with us before and throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we need. She even left us a handwritten note with a gift for our family and our dogs. We did need to contact her during our stay due to a lost remote for the air conditioner on a day with a heat advisory. Leslie was immediately responsive and brought us a remote that same day. She clearly goes to great lengths to make sure her guests enjoy their stay. We highly recommend the Little Dipper and hope to stay there again!

Beautiful retreat on the cove

We loved our stay at the Little Dipper. The kids enjoyed swimming, kayaking, exploring, and watching the changing tides- all right on the property. Leslie was super responsive and the cottage was well stocked with everything we needed. It’s even cuter than the photos and the screen porch was the perfect place to relax and enjoy family meals. We hope to be back someday!

We had a wonderful two week stay at the Little Dipper, highly recommend! The water views and surrounding area are beautiful, quintessential ME. Quick drive into Boothbay Harbor and nearby restaurants, and an easy launching ground to explore the midcoast area. The cottage was comfortable for our family and had everything we needed. Leslie was super easy to communicate with. Thank you for the welcoming, warm space!
