About this property

Spacious, charming 1896 cottage at the top of quiet, magical footpath. Has a secluded, peaceful feel but is only a 2-3 min. walk to island grocery store, restaurants, coffee shop, ice cream, 5 min. to ferry and 8 min. walk to Sandy Beach. Also convenient for weddings at the Inn. Relax on the sun or open-air porches, read a book by the gas fireplace at night, grill your dinner on the back deck or pop in to Portland for a day trip on the ferry. The cottage retains a rustic feel, but various updates (e.g., comfortable beds) make this a delightful home-away-from-home for your relaxed island holiday. (Please note that guests bring their own sheets, but we provide blankets, pillows. duvets and bath towels) Welcome to the Coast of Maine! STHR-000215-2018

Magpie’s Nest

This rustic, spacious cottage was very comfortable and centered close to the shore, town and nestled privately. The kitchen/dining room is lovely and nostalgic. The living area is pretty, simple and comfortable as are both front and back decks. The master bed is very comfortable and upstairs overall quite pleasant. We had a lovely stay!

Loved Peak’s Island!

We truly just used property for the one queen bedroom, as we spent most of our time at a friend’s house, but it is a clean old Victorian camp cottage, just as described in listing! Comfy bed and plenty of fans for nice sleeping. Good location and easy communication with owner Tim!

nice house & location

The front porch and rear deck meant that as the sun progressed across the house, there was always a place to soak it in or avoid direct rays. The charming house suited us very well. And the location was ideal, a short walk along the path to 'down front', the town around the ferry landing, or a nice bicycle ride around the island and along the seashore.

Peaks Haven

We booked the cottage for our honeymoon. We experienced a variety of weather conditions, but found the cottage cozy and comfortable in the cool rain or the warm, fine days. The island pace of life is magical. The cottage felt well loved with lots of different spots to read/relax. Owners are readily reachable and extremely pleasant.

Charming Island Cottage

We stayed 5 nights at this cottage on Peaks Island and we loved it! There was plenty of space for my family (myself, husband, and 3 kids) to relax, sleep, and eat. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and plenty of dishes. Tim was excellent at reaching out to make sure everything was ok and ask if we had any questions. We had delicious pastries at Baba's and Unruly Girl's Cafe, wood fired pizza at Il Leone, ice cream at Down Front. We took day trips to Acadia National Park and Portland and the ferry was easy to navigate for both taking our car and just riding as passengers. We loved this house and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cottage getaway

FANTASTIC. LOVED the island pace. Beautiful cottage with charm in every room. Takes you back in time. Had everything we needed and soooo enjoyed our walks. Super easy to catch the ferry for a day in Portland. GREAT restaurants too. The nicest folks. Our host was amazing and communicated with us consistently. If you go once you will want to go back.

Short but Wonderful Stay

Very nice layout with modern conveniences while retaining a rustic feel. Great location. Very walkable. In fact, we did not have a car at all. Ubered from airport to ferry, then walked less than 1/2 mile to cottage. Walked or biked everywhere on island. Timothy was extremely accessible host.

Beautiful and light filled space

My sisters and I stayed here the night before my wedding (they stayed the night of the wedding also) and I couldn’t have dreamt of a better space. The house is beautifully and simply designed, so comfortable, and has amazing natural light. I loved the art especially the Andrew Wyeth prints. Getting ready in the morning with my bridesmaids there was plenty of space for us all and it was such a calm peaceful morning.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

My wife and I teach at a college in the Midwest but are from New England. We have two kids.

Why they chose this property

We bought this place to set down roots on the East Coast again, to reconnect our family with family and friends in the summer time and because we love Maine. We hope you will love this cottage and your time on Peaks.

What makes this property unique

Some of our favourite things about this cottage are its spaciousness and character, the quiet and friendliness of the neighborhood, and the closeness to the ferry, stores and Sandy Beach. Peaks Island itself is just so lovely and peaceful and close to the awesome city of Portland.
