Come and enjoy a vacation to remember at The Little Dipper Cottage! This cottage is located on an acre of waterfront land. The cottage sits on a quiet peninsula of the Little River, uniquely positioned at one end of the Little River Dam. Only minutes from Boothbay Harbor -- a fantastic tourist area with whale watching, restaurants, and shopping! This cottage is non-smoking and is perfect for both couples and families with children. East Boothbay, and Glen Cove in particular, is very dog-friendly. Well-behaved dogs are welcome!

The salt water cove, called Glen Cove, was formed in the 1920s by damming the Little River to form the world's largest salt water swimming pool. Swim in the cool water while enjoying the stunning beauty this location offers. Launch your kayaks or canoe from our private dock in the cove side of the dam. Or take a short 10 minute stroll to view the Atlantic ocean. One of the reasons we named this cottage "The Little Dipper" is because of the amazing night views of the Milky Way, unobstructed on a non-cloudy evening when you walk onto the dam at night. (The other is the obvious swim-ability of the cove.)

One of the amazing aspects of this quiet property is the the large, well furnished screened porch with ceiling fan. Sit and enjoy a cool breeze off the water as you watch the sun rise - or enjoy a book as your children play a card game. The screened porch is non-smoking as well.

There is 1 bedroom, 1 den/hangout room with a pinball machine, living/dining area, well-appointed kitchen, and 1 full bathroom on the main floor with wide, knotty pine floors throughout. With large windows and skylights, the main room remains sunny and airy throughout the day. The bedroom has a view of the water, a queen bed with new mattress, large closet, and ceiling fan. The bathroom has tub/shower combo with great water pressure, large vanity, and a separate toilet room. In addition, there is a large carpeted loft accessible via a "ships ladder."

In addition, there is a loft that has 2 twin beds plus extra twin mattresses for extra guests. The loft makes for a terrific space for older kids while adults might find the low ceiling a challenge.

The living room has a comfortable new couch and chairs, flat screen TV with internet access (no cable), Blue Ray/DVD, and stereo. Excellent fiberoptic WiFi (1Gb) is available throughout. The kitchen has an electric stove/oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, and ample cooking equipment including a full sized lobster pot! The dining table has seating for six and can expand with two built-in leaves. A brand new washer/dryer tower is now available for free in the unit - and laundry pods and dryer sheets are provided..

There are also french doors that provide easy access to a clearing next to the water where you can watch ducks, geese, and egrets and even spot an eagle. Adirondack chairs and a fire pit offers a great spot to enjoy the sounds of the water while making s'mores.

Finally, this cabin is assigned two convenient parking spaces, large enough to accommodate a trailer.
