Great place to stay

We enjoyed our first trip to Peaks. The cottage is great for 2 people. It isn’t fancy if that’s what you’re looking for. If you want cozy, comfortable and close to everything, then it will be perfect. Super quiet at night. Has a super comfy bed. Living space is spacious for 2 people. Great location in general. We have requested a rebook for next year. That’s how much we enjoyed our stay. Thank you again!

Cute Cottage

The cottage was cute/peaceful/ thoughtful. Our only concern/disappointment was the shower. The shower curtain and corners of the shower were filthy - looked like black mold (we did NOT use the shower during our stay). We were not provided the door key code (we made do) and we’re not provided the purple bag for trashagsin, we found one in drawer

Lovely small cottage. Perfect for my quick stay. However there a few things I didn’t understand inside the house and neighbors were a bit noisy…but it was the weekend and I understood.

An Oasis

We were trying to salvage our Maine vacation, which had started off badly. We decided to try to find a place on Peaks Island because we love it there. Due to our absolute panic, we screwed up a few times trying to book and booked several different days (and even years). The owner, Jane, was very patient and, at the end of the process, we were able to enjoy the last 4 nights of our vacation in comfort and peace. This sweet little house was perfect for two people. Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful front porch for sipping tea, reading and waving to the neighbors. Lovely dining area on the back porch. There are close neighbors, but their outdoor spaces faced away from ours so, although we occasionally saw them, none of us were in each others personal vacation space. Lovely neighborhood, a short walk from both the town and the ocean. We were really impressed with this house and will book it again! Thank you, Jane.

Island Home

This cottage was perfect for us. The heat wave was not unpleasant as the ac cooled wonderfully. Two old bikes took us around the island after air was added to the tires. The bed and home were comfortable.

Kudos to the owner for accommodating us, thanks! We loved the island, enjoyed the hikes and beach scrambling. Cottage is nothing fancy but we aren’t fancy people.

The Little Cottage

This little cottage is such a comfy place to unwind from every day life!! It is compact and easy to get around in. The back porch is so private and quiet. At night it is so quiet and restful that you get the best night’s sleep.

Too short!

With 4 of us it was tight, but the perfect house for 2 (or maybe even 3). Owner was responsive, and Peaks is always a great time. Thank you to the owner for letting us stay in your house!
