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.

Quiet side retreat

Beautiful property in a fantastic location! We loved being able to walk to town for breakfast and easy access to all of the sections of Acadia. Elena was a wonderful host, we loved the insider tips. We will definitely be back!

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.
