Honeymooner approved!
We had a fantastic stay at Elena's property! We were recently married and wanted to visit the Bar Harbor area with our labrador retriever for a quick getaway. We were so happy when Elena accepted our stay as traveling with a pet can be tough. This home is maintained, clean as a whistle and extremely comfortable as well as private - exactly what we needed after the chaos following a wedding. We took advantage of the near by trails as well as the well known hikes in Acadia. We did something active every day! We biked, hiked, and even took the paddle boards out in the harbor. While town was adorable, we cooked a lot of meals at home and enjoyed spending time at the property as an official family. We made a lot of memories and cannot be more thankful for the hospitality shared. This cottage is perfect for pets, honey mooners and trail blazers alike. We will be back!
Thank you for the rave review, and we are so happy that you chose to spend your special honeymoon time at the Little House! Come back any time.
Regards,
Elena
Perfect location to experience Acadia away from the crowds
This is a wonderful property for 2 adults and our 2 dogs. With Southwest Harbor only a mile away and Bar Harbor only 20 minutes away, there were plenty of dining options after a long day of hiking but the property is set back on a beautiful private road for peace and quiet. Elena made sure we had everything we needed and the house was spotless when we arrived. We had a fantastic time in this house and on Mt. Desert Island. Highly recommend.
Thank you both for the great review and for being such good guests. Come back any time.
Regards,
Elena, Terry and Pip
Charming, cozy cottage - great location!
We have stayed at Little House during our annual trip to Maine for ten years running and plan to stay there again in 2019. The cottage is cozy, in a great location, and well-maintained. We especially enjoy watching the butterflies and hummingbirds in the garden and being able to walk into Southwest Harbor for breakfast and dinner.
Terry and Elena are excellent owners. They make sure that the cottage is well maintained. The cottage is also very clean when we arrive each year. No unpleasant surprises!
We look forward to returning in 2019.
Thank you both so much for the wonderful review and for being the best guests imaginable! We will be honored to have you both visit again next summer!
Warm regards,
Elena, Terry and Pip
We will definitely come back to the Little House
This is a charming, well equipped, well situated and very clean house for a beautiful MDI get-away. The owners are terrific and responsive. A unique treat here is to sit in the well tended flower garden - it's a restorative, pastoral setting. We are going back next year for a third time.
Thank you very much, and it is always nice to have guests who really "get" the simple joys of The Little House, and it's unique setting in Southwest Harbor! Look forward to having you back next summer!!!
Peaceful, convenient, and the perfect size for our family of four.
This is our third visit to Acadia, but our first time staying at The Little House. We have two young boys, so the house was the perfect size for us. The boys loved coming “home” at the end of each day to play in the yard with the beautiful garden. It was extremely hot most of the week we were visiting, but the house always had a nice breeze that came through the windows. It was so nice to have the grill to make our own dinners at night and just relax at the end of a busy day. The bed is a full size, which for us felt a bit small since we are used to a king sized bed. The boys slept great in their little room and loved the stars on their bedspreads. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Close in charming cottage
Our second stay at the Little House and we’ll look forward to returning. Easy walk to town, comfortable rooms and a well equipped kitchen. Only wish we had arrived earlier in the season to be able to see the lupines in the meadow.
Map
Close to all Acadia National Park activities, and the free Island Explorer bus which will pick you and your bike up for easy travel to the park carriage roads, trails, and Bar Harbor. Southwest Harbor's village center, Beal's Lobster Pound, and the town dock are just a short distance away. Bike and kayak rentals are available in the village. Echo Lake and Long Pond are close by for swimming and kayaking. Excellent hiking trails for all levels of ability.
Other Activities: hiking, kayaking, and more hiking and kayaking!
