There is nothing like sitting just watching the ocean on a clear Maine day. Ideal spot for that. The cottage is very clean and well appointed but there were end of season maintenance issues such as a leaky kitchen drain and bathroom faucet. Maine Stay customer service is excellent as always. Iris Eats Maine up the road is a fantastic lunch place.

We have been frequent summer guests at The Little House for many years and this gem at the end of the road has felt like home each time we visit. Views of the water from most every window of the house and a large yard for our dog to play. The sense of peace and calm we feel staying here can't be beat.

I can’t imagine a more private, beautiful place! Spent lots of time just sitting on the porch watching the tides and the sea ducks.

The Little House is situated in a great spot which provides for a lovely view of the water. It was very clean and I really appreciate the hosts using a professional laundering service for sheets and towels - provides reassurance of sanitary conditions during this unfortunate time of Covid. The home is well maintained. Three things which impacted our stay adversely: the queen bed is quite hard, like a brick; very uncomfortable. The living room has a small couch. Unfortunately it could really benefit from an ottoman so that two adults could put their feet up. We had terrible weather during our stay, so we were indoors more than anticipated and used the couch often. There is a propane faux wood stove that would have been great to use, but we could not get it to work and the hosts did not answer my text asking for guidance. There is an instruction manual for it in the kitchen. However, despite following the instructions it didn't work. The property is down a drive/road with other homes. Most of those homes that are nearby are quite unkept. Despite those three things, this is a lovingly well-maintained little cottage with a beautiful view.

My parents were coming over to Boston from the UK and we wanted to visit Maine (our first time, too). We were looking for somewhere between a few different spots such as Portland and some of the smaller towns further north and this was perfect! The house is in an incredible location with stunning views throughout the day (and gave us a nice peek at the Milky Way at night). Everything was as described and the check-in was simple and straight forward. Property managers Marcy and Darcie were easy to communicate with and prompt to reply to messages. Everything was clean and neatly tidied for our visit. The fire pit late at night with the sea breeze and sounds of water was magical! We definitely plan to come back someday in the future! Thank you for having us!

The “little house” was a quaint and charming place, with most everything one could need for a coast vacation. We loved watching the changing tides, occasional visits from a harp seal, and the sunrises over the pine trees. Mainestay was very nice to work with.
One minor issue is that the house seems to be encircled by another property, and that tended to reduce our sense of privacy. We enjoyed visits from their dogs though.

This Little House was everything my mom and I had dreamed of when we pictured staying in Harpswell. The house was so cozy, the views were to die for, it was so peaceful, and the response when I had questions was immediate. I would recommend The Little House to everyone! We will definitely be going back. We had our two little dogs and it was perfect for them. We absolutely loves our stay! There is also plenty to do right in the area if you want. Thank you for the wonderful place to stay!
