Wiggleswick Cottage;Voted BEST Pet Friendly rental in Maine! 2024 Holidays!

Come experience the magic of Midcoast Maine at Wiggleswick Cottage on the island of Georgetown (accessible by car) owned and managed locally by Little White Dog Properties.

Wake up to gorgeous long water views and morning coffee on the deck overlooking your own private waterfront in this spectacular, family friendly, no matter what your family looks like, 3 BR and 2 BA newly renovated and well-appointed log home that comfortably sleeps 6 (six is the max occupancy on this property).

Set on 2+ acres at the end of a private road, this beautiful retreat offers 75' of protected waterfront with a huge 200 sq. ft. dock and 2 kayaks. *Please note: We cannot guarantee that the dock will be in the water anytime before Memorial Day or after Labor Day; It is 100% weather dependent.

Spend your salty, Maine days sunbathing on the dock and watching the Osprey and Bald Eagles fish. Flag down one of the many lobster boats that operate right in front of the cottage to purchase a fresh lobster right off of the boat!

The fishing in front of the house is FANTASTIC so if you enjoy the sport bring your poles and enjoy catching some Maine sea bass during your stay. I supply the fishing license!

Children of all ages will enjoy playing disc golf, cornhole, croquet, badminton or some ping pong with the family in the Cottage's large grassy yard and adventure over to the local Five Islands neighborhood for a Lobster Roll at Five Islands Lobster Company.

Evenings around the portable Solo Stove fire pit on the deck, or on the dock, making smores, and looking at the dazzling clear Maine night sky is what Maine vacation dreams are made of.

Please note: The water currents in front of the property are very strong and therefore not safe for swimming during high tide. There are steps to get to the dock.

Rainy days at Wiggleswick Cottage will be a treat with a selection of board games or a game of darts for the family while enjoying a crackling wood fire in the cottage's two story, show stopping, stone fireplace.

Maine vacations aren't just for the humans, Little White Dog Properties, LLC. has been voted BEST pet friendly lodging in the state of Maine and are a Dogs Welcome Certified Property. The property welcomes dogs (up to four) and we do not charge a pet fee!

In addition, I am the admin/creator of the wildly popular Facebook group, Dogs Welcome, that helps connect hosts who welcome dogs with travelers traveling with their four legged best friends.


Midcoast Maine is known for its numerous, excellent hiking trails and has plenty of local wildlife including deer, osprey, bald eagles, and the occasional moose. Visit Reid State Park which is less than 5 miles away and has trails, and an excellent beach for long seaside walks or spending a carefree afternoon in the sun and surf.

Looking for different types of adventures? Try one of the area's whale watching cruises and see the magnificent creatures up close. You'll have to visit charming historic downtown Bath, home to Bath Iron Works and Maine Maritime Museum, which only 20 minutes away where you can browse a variety of quality shops on Main Street and discover wonderful eateries and sweet treats. Don't forget Freeport, because what's a visit to Maine without visiting the LL Bean Flagship store (open 24 hours).

The Cottage has a 2-story wall of view-filled windows with full pane French doors and features oak plank hardwoods floors throughout for a flowing light and bright feel. The kitchen is fully equipped and has brand new appliances, a breakfast bar and plenty of counter space overlooking a comfortable dining area for fun family meals, evening snacks or board game challenges. There is also Wi-Fi and a smart TV in the living room to keep up with the outside world or to have a movie night.

All of the rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished with 1 BD and 1 BA (with a full-sized washer and dryer in it) on the main floor and 2 BD 1 BA upstairs. The downstairs full BA has a shower tub combo, and the 2nd floor BA features a walk-in shower.

Boasting two single beds, the upstairs nautical bedroom is perfect for the kids and their imaginations or the adults who are kids at heart, and the upstairs ensuite bedroom boasts a hanging hammock bed (Hangout Pod) for curling up with a book or taking a cozy nap.

The property also has it's safety certification through Breezeway so you can relax knowing your family's safety and security are a top priority. Wiggleswick Cottage was also featured on a vacation rental safety segment that aired on Good Morning America.

It is no secret that I am a dog lover! I also value my community and like to give back when I can...
Little White Dog Properties has a sponsorship program with Maine Senior Dog rescue Old Dogs New Digs and with each stay, I sponsor a dog that they have in foster care, including yours!
Old Dogs New Digs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (all-volunteer) organization dedicated to helping homeless and displaced senior dogs and cats. They focus on getting senior animals into loving homes and raise funds to support their health and well-being. They assist with foster or forever home placement, make financial contributions toward vet care or special food/medications, and raise awareness about seniors in-need.


Now is your chance to book your magical Maine vacation and stay at Wiggleswick Cottage. I look forward to hosting, and spoiling, you and your family!

What we all needed
We love our yearly October trips to Maine but we all needed a vacation more than other years. We are so grateful to come across this location. The owner was immediately responsive before and while we were there to any questions. This place checks all of the boxes and the owner thinks of things that I would have never thought of. My family, friend, and dogs truly felt at home. My dogs were extra spoiled by their goodie bag. We didn’t even have to think out what was in each of the kitchen cabinets or what light switch turned on what because everything was labeled in such a thoughtful way. It had ever toy or relaxation item that any human or dog would need. Can’t thank you enough.

Loved the cottage and attention to detail
We all had a wonderful time at the cottage! The owner added many extra touches to welcome us and the dog. Everything was clean and well stocked. We were there for a wedding and spent a lot of time just relaxing on the deck enjoying family time together. Little disappointed that the dock was already up for the season but understandable due to weather issues. That just makes us want to come back earlier in the season to enjoy the water more! Thank you for the great memories!

Staying at Wiggleswick Cottage was a Maine dream! The location, home, dock, yard…everything was PERFECT! And Sara goes above and beyond with her extras and personal touches. We were greeted with a wooden sign displaying our family name! Then opened the fridge to a beautiful charcuterie tray for snacks! In addition, Sara had a lobster keychain, and personal card to welcome us. Her communication throughout the process of booking and staying was top notch! She is so attentive and helpful. Probably the most helpful host we’ve ever encountered. Any little question I had, she would respond within minutes. In addition, she gave us so many great ideas for exploring the area, from a blueberry farm to pick our own berries, to a great grocery store with gluten free items, to a fantastic river cruise with River Run Tours! The dock and yard make for a magical stay. Our family played yard games, used the kayaks, and loved sitting down on Belvedere (the dock) to watch the boats go by. A truly magical vacation, and we hope to come back to Maine and Wiggleswick Cottage soon!

Perfect Getaway - 10+
I would give Sara 10++ Stars for being an excellent host and the property was enchanting from the moment we saw it! The meticulous attention to details, from the welcoming book/treats for our dog Cody, a charcuterie board perfect for our glass of wine and sunset watching when we arrived to the most beautiful decor inside and out. It was difficult to decide if we should just rest and relax or explore the beauty the local town has to offer. Most of all I loved our morning coffee on the porch and our sunsets on down by the water. There was attention to detail in every room of the home, dog bed out, blankets, a guidebook and flowers all along the deck. It was one of the most relaxing and re-energizing long weekends we've had. We unplugged and enjoyed all the property had to offer. She has so many outdoor games, the firepit and the stunning fireplace inside. She kept in touch and make sure we had everything we needed. My only problem was we didn't want to leave this beautiful home and property. Definitely recommend this and home to come again! Barb, Reed and Cody

Truly a 5-Star Property & Experience
It is hard to know where to start when reviewing this property and expressing our gratitude for our hostess because everything aspect of the cottage and our stay was truly 5-Star++! When I booked our family getaway, it had to be special because this would be the last time (for a while) all of us would be together as our kids turn into young adults and move on with their schooling and careers. I felt I was paying a premium for Wiggleswick Cottage (because we have stayed on Georgetown Island in other rentals over the years for less money) but no other stay compares. It was worth EVERY penny and more. Seriously, I would have paid more!! If you have stayed at a five-diamond resort, you will know what I mean. The difference can be felt in every single touch and appointment in the home. Sara's attention to detail, thoughtfulness, safety, quality, communication, and hospitality is beyond compare. The home flows so well. The location and view from the home are fantastic. Quiet, peaceful, and full of great energy. The waterfront is stunning. The sunrises and sunsets from the amazing porch and huge yard were gorgeous. The furnishings, linens, homewares, etc. are high-end. The stay was authentic Maine, comfortable, cozy, yet current, fresh, and well-equipped. The only surprises were incredible, fun, and inspiring ones. From the stunning fireplace to the gorgeous windows flowing with light, to the spare phone chargers to the dryer sheets, and everything in between, Sara (the owner) has thought of everything. She is a world-class "homemaker" which made us feel right at home. I have a dog, but she could not join us for our trip. I wondered if it would smell like other dogs or if I would find fur from prior guests. I can honestly say I would never know Sara allowed for dogs if it were not for the amazing equipment and accessories she had for her dog guests! I have thought back on other stays we've had in Maine and beyond and how they have paled in comparison. It's so nice in this day and age to not only get what you paid for but to feel like you received an incredible value and true benefit. That's how I feel!! Sara and Wiggleswick Cottage set the standard, the GOLD standard, for vacation rentals. We are grateful for our time there :-)

Authentic Maine Seacoast Vacation
Our family of 5 (all adults) loved our stay at Wiggleswick Cottage with it’s open comfortable layout. It was super clean and Sara has thought of everything! We loved that it is very close to the harbor at Five Islands, but not in the village itself. Reid State Park is within a 10 minute drive and we spent time at each of the three beautiful beaches. Our group was interested in hiking and Sara provided lots of information about the many trails on the island! She’s a very receptive host and responds very quickly to any questions. She even brought over a charcoal grill since we were inexperienced with the gas grill. Belvedere (the dock) was a huge highlight and we kayaked from there several times. So many places to explore. We highly recommend Wiggleswick!

Much needed weekend away!
My husband and I really needed a few days away to just relax and decompress. We found Wiggleswick Cottage and thought it looked amazing. I have to say the pictures are great, but this home is much better in person. It is so cozy and inviting. We felt at home right away, Our two dogs settled in right away too, The host, Sara, was fantastic. Her attention to detail was out of this world. She was such a thoughtful host. She left a gift bag with goodies for our dogs, Moose and Harley! She also left goodies in the fridge for my husband and I which worked out amazing since we checked in late. Everything in the house has cute i.d. tags so you can easily find things. She provides her guests with so many extras around the house. It was so easy having the dogs there. She has blankets for them to relax on, runners (leash) outside and toys for them to enjoy. Best of all was the incredible fireplace. We lit a fire each night and sat and enjoyed a glass of wine. It was so cozy. The walk down to the ocean is a lot of fun and the view was stunning. There is nothing like the Maine Coast. We can't wait to come back. Thanks Sara!

A perfect getaway
Wiggleswick Cottage is in a lovely, private spot by the water. The cottage is beautful inside and out and very well maintained. Everything was made so easy for us. All drawers and light switches were labeled making finding things a snap. We felt very welcomed there; everything about the cottage was comfortable and inviting. We only used rhe downstairs but could easily have accommodated our daughter and her family with a petfect set up upstairs of a large bedroom with full bath next to a room with bunk beds with thick mattresses! And for our 2 dogs, there were beds, dishes and even blankets to cover furniture so they could vacation in luxury. The waterfront had a gorgeous view; we were too late in the season to enjoy the water so maybe next time. Nonetheless, we appreciated the lovely back porch as well as two well placed chairs on the property (with a stove to keep warm had we needed to), all facing the water view. There was not much open in the immediate area in November but Reid State Park has a great beach to enjoy and Bath isn't far. Finally, thank you so much to Sara who reached out to us, when it was looking like our stay would feature gale force winds and inches of rain, and offered for us to delay our trip for a few days in hopes of better weather. We were so taken with her kindness and did end up having glorious weather by moving our stay to the next week.

We had a great stay at Wiggleswick cottage! Our 3yo son enjoyed the cottage and running outside. We also played fun games outside which are provided by the owners. We enjoyed campfire, seeing boats on the water and hearing ocean waves at night. Sara was great with responding to our questions and enjoyed seeing our pictures of us enjoying her cottage and our daily trips to pumpkin farm, wild animal kingdom, Bath, Boothbay harbor and Rockland, all of which are short drive from the house.
