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, 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!

Classic Island Cottage on the Hill

My husband and I rented the cottage for our 36th wedding anniversay and were joined by our 2 kids and their partners and our baby granddaughter. We all loved the sunny deck in the morning and the sunny front porch in the afternoon where we could catch the sunset, or at least know when it was time to head down to the beach! In this part of Peaks, there are paths everywhere and we loved the one that went right down from the house directly to the grocery store. The neighbors were friendly and the area is magical! The house is really well-appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. We cooked at home most of the 4 night stay. The beds are really comfy and the duvets were wonderful as it cooled down later in the week. It was great to have a grill so we could have a BBQ. All in all a great house in a primo spot!

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.

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!

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.
