    Could not have asked for a more beautiful location or gracious host. The home had everything we needed, is beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. We hope to stay again in the future.

    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

    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 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!

    I became enchanted with Kennebunkport when I visited briefly in 2001 for a wedding. I've always wanted my mom and sisters to experience it, too. Mom and I have researched places to stay in Maine for years, and we fell in love with this cottage and favorited it a few years ago. It was more of a dream than reality that we'd ever get to stay here. Well, after a horrible year medically for me, and the sudden loss of my mom's twin sister, I had to make it happen. I booked our dream home on a whim, and we made it happen. It was truly magical. The house is as cute as the pictures. It is perfectly located. It is SO clean. The whole process was super easy. And Brian was so wonderful to deal with. He even left a book of recommended restaurants and things to do! Right down to the frozen beer mugs in the freezer - something my dad always insisted on when he was with us - they thought of everything! It really was the perfect trip! We loved every minute. I can't explain how much my family needed this and how much we loved this home. We hope to do it again someday. THANK YOU!
