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.

From the fragrant lilac flowers viewed out every window to the toasty propane “woodstove” in the kitchen to the quiet night sleeps on very comfortable beds, the cottage was simply wonderful. I loved the kitchen area best! I even did some cooking using the well supplied kitchen. The island people are friendly. I would recommend the one-hour golf cart tour to get acquainted with the island early in your stay. And the process of getting our car to and from the island was not stressful at all. I would highly recommend the cottage.

We enjoyed the peaceful and friendly neighborhood. It was a close walk from the ferry.

We were here to escape black flies back in NH. A couple of notes: listing doesn’t expressly say bed linens are not included, and by the time you get the welcome letter, you’ve already booked. Also, having to wash, dry, and put away towels prior to departure, was awkward for me, so i added towels to the bed linens bag. Coffee maker is a regular drip style, not a “drop and press” (French press) We love this beautiful, well kept cottage, it’s roomy, well laid out, plenty of amenities, lots of old charm, but very convenient living! Faves: front porch, street lights on the path to town, slate kitchen sink, gas heat (stove) in kitchen - we had a couple of very cold/windy days. We even closed living room and unused bedroom door to keep heat in kitchen area. Bikes were a must for us. We brought a vehicle to carry all our bins, bags, bikes, and cooler. Well worth it. Would we come back? You betcha! Thank you for sharing your antique cottage!

So clean, peaceful, beautiful and family friendly! We stayed with our 3 year old and 4 month old and the house was very friendly to babies and toddlers. The location is great, and hosts are very accommodating and responsive! Definitely will return!

Enjoyed our first ever visit to Peaks Island. Staying at this property only enhanced our visit.

Older house so the wind was blowing and making the house creak and groan, but stayed nice and warm. We were close to all the restaurants and shops. Unfortunately the majority of the restaurants were closed due to the season. We did get some awesome hiking and biking done.

We loved staying at this lovely house, which was peaceful, beautifully decorated and a wonderful island retreat!

Adorable 1895 cottage just a short walk to the general store and ferry dock using the paper trail in front. Sunny deck out back with a gas grill & a very nicely equipped kitchen. We were very comfortable there and the owners were very pleasant and easy to work with.

The cottage was very comfortable. The owner was very helpful with answering questions.

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.

Great week. House was great. Tim was so responsive when we lost power. He may want to re charge the flashlights and grab some more candles😜after the storm. Thanks Tim.

My family stayed at Tim’s beautiful house for a week and had such a wonderful, relaxing time. It’s easy to get to the house from the ferry (just up the road by foot and a very short drive by car) and so super easy to walk to the handful of restaurants, the coffee shop, and the store, and the beach from the house by way of the lovely footpath. 
The house itself is charming— super old while also feeling modern and clean. We had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, the shower was hot, the front porch was a perfect place to read, and the back porch was great for dinner. 
The house is set somewhat closely amongst other houses,— the layout in that area is kind of a jumble— so there’s not a lot of seclusion (the other side of the island seems more suited for that) but we liked being in the cute, friendly, and bustling little community there. 
We had a couple minor hiccups and Tim was extremely responsive, communicative and kind— he really was an excellent host! We hope to be able to spend another week there someday.

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.

Wonderful time in a beautiful home.

The house and location was just what we were looking for! Very charming and relaxing.

A fantastic location that was everything it was said to be plus a whole lot more. The owner took great care in the home as well as making sure we had everything we needed. Great time in a great place.

This cottage is nestled on a hilltop overlooking the harbor. It is a beautiful home and reminded me of my grandparents beach house; it was like stepping back in time. The home is perfectly appointed and we had a relaxing time there, connecting with each other. We will definitely return!

Great spot with a lot of heart.

We were looking to try out island living at least for a couple of nights and the cottage totally met our needs. Loved the quaintness and historical nature of it. Walked around quite a bit and also had fun renting a golf cart for a couple of hours. Our next goal: a longer stay or stays.

The cottage is in a great location! It is well furnished, clean, the beds are super comfortable, neighbors are extremely friendly and the light is gorgeous. We love Peaks and would recommend for anyone to stay here!

Wonderful trip. Cottage is a New England classic. Beautiful and comfortable. Slept soundly on comfortable beds! Location is perfect, great access to everything. can't wait to return again.

Exactly what we were looking for for a couple of days to get away. Quaint island village, not commercialized. Cottage was as described, fun place to stay with lots of character.

Just the right amount of rustic, the house was charming and comfortable. The location is great—easy walk to market and beaches. Peak's Island is a treasure.

Loved the cottage, has great character, very clean and convenient location to ferries, restaurants. Best part of the island was Sandy Beach for the kids and riding the golf cart around the beautiful island!

This was our first time staying on the island and this cottage is well located within walking distance to shops & restaurants. The beaches are also walking distance. The cottage is spacious and the kitchen is well-stocked. Tim was very attentive and easy to communicate with. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us!

We loved the island and the property. We traveled during peak season so the shuttle was expensive, ($120 for 6 of us), but that turned out to be fun too. The property has a few restrictions, so it’s not totally care free. But it’s certainly as charming as the island.

We loved our long weekend stay here. The house was so charming and spacious and the backyard and deck were great for dinners. The house has everything you could need and is a short walk to the beach and to the Main Street and the ferry. This house is one of the very few rentals we’ve stayed in where the actual house exceeded our expectations based on the listing. The owner was super responsive and helpful. We’d love to stay here again!

This house is a contradiction. It is old and creaky- you can see through the floorboards to the rooms below. But it's perfect for a family getaway . The house was meticulously clean, most of the appliances were brand new, and the plumbing was modern. The floor plan is perfect too, with a cozy living room off the huge one room dining room and kitchen. The long wooden dining room was a perfect place for a family puzzle. Porches off the front, sides snd back complete the picture. We had all the things we needed to make a fabulous dinner or grilll, but it's a 5 minute walk to town.. wifi worked well and there were both heaters and fans for the changes in weather. Highly recommend this place.

Just a nice place to sit back and relax. Nice old house.
