Beautiful setting!
My husband and I had an enjoyable week at The Little House despite the rain and cold weather. The location for our vacation was perfect - a 15 minute walk to Southwest Harbor dining and shops and access to many trailheads via a short car ride. Lots to do and never enough time. Elena's property is beautiful and tranquil. We were able to enjoy the blooming lilacs and our dogs enjoyed romping in the yard. All around a wonderful visit!
We loved staying at the little house and hope to go back.
The owners were very helpful with suggesting where to eat and things to do.
We loved having you visit the Little House too. You were the perfect guests, and we really appreciate the care and consideration you gave to our guest house - thank you. And you are always welcome to visit.
Best regards,
Elena, Terry + Pip
Another great stay at Little House
We have stayed at Little House during our annual trip to Maine for almost ten years. The house is a gem. It is very quiet and tranquil. One of the many reasons that we return each year is that the home is always very well maintained. We look forward to returning next year.
We love that you both enjoy the Little House and return every year. It is a special treat to welcome you back, and we look forward to seeing you next summer!
Warm regards,
Elena, Terry and Pip
Great stay in Southwest Harbor
Had a great time at the Little House! It was a perfect home base for our week in Acadia.
Thanks so much for visiting The Little House, and for the nice review. Both, much appreciated. We are happy that you liked our home base!
All best,
Elena, Terry and Pip
Charming and Cozy
This was our first visit to Little House and we were very comfortable from the moment we arrived. A welcome basket on the kitchen table was an unexpected surprise, but truly appreciated. We loved the exposed wood beams in the cottage, the ample windows and the amazing perennial garden out back. Also loved being so close to the village of Southwest Harbor but still far enough away to be in a setting of fields, trees and gardens. The master bedroom was very comfortable as was the bathroom, provided you are able to carefully navigate getting in and out of the shower in the porcelin tub. The kitchen storage and prep spaces are quite tight but adequate, and some of the pots and pans have reached the end of their "sell by" date, but we still made several delicious meals at the cottage with all that was provided, plus some wonderful fresh produce provided by Elena straight from her veggie garden. A very special place and we hope we'll be back soon!
Thanks very much for visiting the Little House and for your lovely thank you card - much appreciated. I did a full-inventory based on your comment about worn pots/pan and replaced one that was in poor condition with an All-Clad stainless steel pan from William Sonoma which should stand up to all cooks needs. P.S. Glad you enjoyed the veggies - happy to share!
All best,
Elena, Terry and Pip
Lovely, relaxing cottage
My family of four had a wonderful two weeks at the Little House. It's a lovely place to be - the photos don't quite do it justice. The house is charming, comfortable and filled with light. Great location for access to everything on MDI. The owners were helpful whenever we had a question but otherwise respected our privacy. Yard is a great place for a picnic dinner. Everything we needed for a relaxing getaway! We'd love to come back.
Thanks very much for the great review of the Little House. Anna - you and your family are always welcome here!
Regards,
Elena, Terry and Pip
Location
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!
