Adventures at Minnow Cottage.

Minnow Cottage was the perfect spot for our getaway to Kennebunkport. We stayed for five nights and really enjoyed the peaceful setting and easy access to town. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We loved exploring the local shops and restaurants, and everyone we met was so welcoming. Great place to relax and take in the charm of the area—we’d absolutely come back!

Minnow Cottage is fabulous! It is sparklingly clean and thoughtfully appointed. It has lovely views from all rooms. Host Brian is without doubt the best, most attentive (without being obtrusive), host we have ever had. The cottage is within easy walking distance to the many shops and restaurants in and around Dock Square. My husband and I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this property. LMN

Amazing cottage with lots of character

We really enjoyed our stay - the home was very clean, nice New England feel right on the water with boats, and the house was stocked with everything we needed for a short getaway. Brian was also a great host with quick responsiveness and helpful with all our questions. Highly recommend this place! We’d love to come back!

Minnow Cottage is truly a very special property! The water views are beautifully breathtaking and the home itself is truly magical. The location is close to town and an easy walk to restaurants and shopping. The beaches are nearby and the town itself is so fun! We had a very comfortable stay. The cottage really felt like a home.

Repeat customers again and again!

We love this cute little home by the water. It's a perfect spot for downtown access and a short drive to the beaches. It's got a great set up and generous kitchen, dining area, etc. We've been several times and in different seasons and it's always lovely. Meticulously kept up and wonderful correspondence with Brian the property manager.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Glaser

Host profile image
My husband and I are the former owners of this little cottage. When we sold it, the new owner asked if I would stay on as the property manager. I eagerly said yes. I enjoy introducing visitors from near and far to this amazing spot in my favorite little town.

I am a native New Englander and live outside of the Boston area. I have my own seasonal cottage in Cape Porpoise (Homeaway #3535073) and have a five star rating after ten seasons of rentals. I strive to provide that great Maine coastal experience for visitors to Minnow Cottage.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like it in Kennebunkport!

What makes this property unique

Unique on the water and in-town location. You just can't beat the experience. Just steps from the front door you'll find great restaurants, lobster rolls, fried clams, coffee shops, galleries and the beautiful quintessential Maine essence that is Kennebunkport!
