Great place, very peaceful. One of the cleanest Airbnbs I have stayed in. They had everything we needed, and the place was beautiful. The provided guide was very helpful. We hope to be back soon.

This was a beautiful cottage and bigger than expected. There were great amenities to make our stay enjoyable. Nicole thought of everything to make us comfortable, happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend their cottage to anyone that wants to have a relaxing, upscale stay in a cottage on the water.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Gem, which truly lives up to its name. Every detail felt intentional, from the inviting color scheme of the cottage to the thoughtful touches that made our dog feel welcome, along with items we wouldn’t have thought to bring—or had forgotten.

Little Gem
Ocean Cottage Near Schoodic & Acadia
Little Gem, our guests always say, is EXACTLY that. A simple but well-appointed dog-friendly cottage that has the most surprising and delightful views from almost anywhere you look. Our prior guests describe it better than we can - so have a look at our great reviews. This spot is a feast for your senses, from the deep blue water that sparkles like diamonds under sunny skies, to the intoxicating ocean breeze and the many sounds that come with sea birds. The sky and sea will not cease to amaze you as they put on a new show every single day. Unplug from the world while you recharge your batteries by the shore.
Meet Your Hosts
We used to be the kind of travelers who never vacationed in the same place twice, until serendipity landed us in Milbridge, Maine. One unforgettable week turned into a years-long love affair with the Downeast coast, eventually inspiring us to buy a sweet little A-frame and dive headfirst into hosting. Now, we're proud full-time locals managing two beautiful Gouldsboro cottages.
