We enjoyed long walks in the neighborhood and near by forests. The Kitchen was easy to use, the beds so comfortable and we enjoyed the views from the house.. Such a cozy and clearly loved home.

This property is exactly as described except for the views. They are undescribable! Loved it.

When my wife was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer at the end of January 2019, our family thought this would be the first summer in 10 years that we wouldn’t make it to Maine. Kathy loved Little Dipper when we rented it years ago, so we booked it right away so that our family would have something to look forward to. Kathy wanted to spend one last vacation with us in Maine and she wanted to spend it at Little Dipper - the nicest house of all the ones we’ve rented over the years we’ve been coming to Maine. George and Kathleen made our stay a dream coming true, even bringing by a bouquet of flowers to brighten our day. Kathy, our son, and I made new memories while making peace with our impending loss. We grieved together with visiting friends and family, all the while feeling like we’d been wrapped in a giant hug by Little Dipper and by extension, by George and Kathleen. The home is bright, cheerful, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything a family could possibly need or want. The location is quiet and the views are breathtaking. There’s nowhere we’d rather be as a family — if you’re looking for a rental you’ll never forget, Little Dipper is it! ♥️

Our family truly enjoyed our stay in the cottage in Boothbay. It was the start of our Maine vacation and we felt at home and relaxed from the first day there. The house is exactly as it is described on HomeAway and the owners were gracious with answers to questions and always prompt. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

Five years ago we stayed at the cottage next door, Morning Star, and I have always wanted to come back, not only because the location is incredible, but because the house was so clean, light, and well-appointed. Morning Star was not available so we rented Little Dipper for my daughter's after-graduation vacation week. It was absolutely gorgeous and was the perfect space for a group of family and friends that ranged anywhere from ten people to five people during the week. There was plenty of room, comfortable beds, great views from every room, and the dock was a great place to watch the sunset. Since it was late May / early June, many of the days were cold and/or rainy, but the house was so open and light, we never felt confined or bothered that we couldn't be outside all the time. The house brings the outside in. Kathy and George also have impeccable taste and have thought of everything for your comfort in terms of cooking and comfort. Also, although it is not in Boothbay Harbor proper, it is within walking distance to the beautiful Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and Trevett's General Store. There are also many lovely trails on Barter's Island and right down the road at Gregory Preserve. The town is an easy drive from the house, but you really have no reasno to leave. This was a great stay, and I hope we will be back again.

We had a terrific time with our two young children at Little Dipper! The house and views are breathtaking. Some of our favorite things included hiking, kayaking, watching sunsets, sea glass hunting, swimming in the lake (nearby), day trip to Monhegan island, Reid State Park, farmer's market, and terrific picnic lunches from Southport and East Boothbay General Stores. We had dinner in several times because it was hard to be away from the view! Our kids loved the lobster boat tour with Captain Clive Perrin and we had a delicious dinner out at the Lobster Dock. We also ate a ton of ice cream at Sarah's Scoops and Downeast Ice Cream Factory. My husband enjoyed the beer from the Boothbay Brewing Company. Kids also liked the railway village. We look forward to being able to return to LDC one day!

Little Dipper Cottage is a magical place -- filled with beauty and light, and featuring the most extraordinary ocean views you can imagine. My husband, daughter, and I have been vacationing in the Boothbay Harbor area for more than 20 years, and all of us agree that this lovely house, with its addictive screened porch, is our new favorite.

This is a beautiful cottage in a prime location in Sawyers Island. The owners have done a wonderful job at renovating and maintaining this cottage in impeccable condition. It is tastefully decorated with plenty of room and a very comfortable porch overlooking the water. We are very grateful we found this gem and look forward to returning with our family.

The Little Dipper cottage exceeded our expectations...spectacular views, perfectly located, beautifully appointed...our family of 5 (with children ranging ages 5-15) plus some additional friends (we had up to 8 stay with plenty of room and comfort) made memories to last a lifetime..exploring Boothbay Harbor, sailing, beach combing...but we especially enjoyed sitting on the screened porch relaxing and taking in the picture perfect scenery...we are looking forward to our return for many more summers to come!

I'm always nervous that rental properties won't live up to the pictures on the internet, but this one certainly did. It is a beautiful home, quiet location, great view, and very clean. The whole house is full of light, and the colors used made for a very restful atmosphere. There are great views from nearly every window. Even the dishes were pretty! You can tell the owners paid attention to every detail during the renovation. The screened porch was heavenly, as was the sunroom and upstairs living area. It is a quick and scenic drive into the town of Boothbay Harbor, where there is plenty to do. However, the home is so beautiful it was tempting to just stay there the whole time. The lawn in back is a great play area for kids. Besides some activities in Boothbay, we made day trips to Pemaquid Point and Reid State Park, which were wonderful. The owners were very responsive and helpful during the whole rental process. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

When I arrived at the Little Dipper Cottage, I was amazed at the pure beauty of the craftsmanship. The photos of the cottage do not do it justice, it's truly the most amazing place. I actually got married in the front yard of this cottage. It was everything I had ever dreamed my wedding could be. I felt like the decor was straight out of a Martha Stewart guide book.

My family rented both homes for our daughters wedding. Both houses were beautiful and we had the best time. My daughters wedding had a great setting and the week was very relaxing and enjoyable. Looking forward to returning some day.

My family just got back from a one-week vacation. It was the first time we've been to Maine, and we can't wait to get back! There were six of us with 4 children ranging in ages from 2 - 18. The house was perfect for us and just so beautiful and welcoming. The decor is so appealing and the outside setting for the home is perfect. We rented kayaks and went out many days and kayaked with seals! Ocean Point was beautiful; we even took a day trip to Acadia National Park. We ate at the house almost every night - the kitchen is fully equipped. we highly recommend the Little Dipper Cottage; George and Kathy -- thank you for letting us create incredible memories!

Ten members of my family ranging in age from 2 to 87 rented Little Dipper Cottage in August, 2007. The warm and friendly correspondence and pictures from George and Kathy assured us we made the right decision to rent Little Dipper for our family's Maine vacation. The cottage was so much more than we could have hoped for. It was spotless from top to bottom, had plenty of comfortable seating, a well stocked kitchen including a lobster pot for our Maine lobster dinner, but best of all was the large screened in porch. The view from any room in the house was great but from the porch it was spectacular. The kids played in the yard while we relaxed on the porch swing and enjoyed a piece of heaven. We visited Booth Bay Harbor's restaurants and shops daily. We enjoyed the Puffin tour cruise and our time spent at the Railroad Village with the kids.I would highly recommend Little Dipper Cottage to anyone planning on making family memories!
