I didn’t want to leave. The home was great and welcoming Very clean. We rented golf cart and enjoyed. You don’t need to rent to enjoy everything. Market,cafe and restaurant we visited were good and the people on the island were kind. The views were amazing. I loved waking up and having the view from bed along with hearing the sounds of the water crashing on the rocks. I would come back

We had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful cottage on Peaks Island. We've been going to Peaks for forty years and this was absolutely the cleanest cottage we've ever been to! I do a lot of cooking for my family and the kitchen was stocked so well which I really appreciated. The owners obviously care that their guests have a wonderful stay from all the little touches of flowers and soaps and linens. The location was amazing and we had a wonderful two weeks! Thank you for sharing this lovely cottage with our family.

The location was fantastic! We were on the backshore yet very close to town. The house had a great layout and fit our family of six adults very comfortably. We also enjoyed the lovely gardens and spacious lawn which were very well-maintained. The hosts were very accessible and pleasant and we loved the personalized touches like fresh flowers and home-baked crumb cake. Ford House is a great rental!

The John Ford House is a wonderful bungalow just a block from the Casco Bay. Every morning I sat on the deck and watched the water, breathed in the clear air and enjoyed the cool breeze. The house is lovely - beautiful wood floors, antique furniture, a wonderful yard, and a great view of the water from the Master Bedroom. If you're a fan of old movies - which I am - then this is the place for you. There are framed posters from John Ford's movies, a DVD collection of his works (and other movies too) and books about him and his career. The house is an easy walk into "town" or to the 2 public beaches. Dan and Mona were great and answered all of my questions. I'd return to Peak's Island just to stay there again!

This lovely cottage was perfect! Extremely clean, with plenty of room for gathering or finding a quiet place to read, and well appointed. We appreciated the little signs throughout with instructions. Very helpful! Waking up with a view of the ocean from the master bedroom was delightful! Had a wonderful time and look forward to staying again!

This was a second time staying at the Ford house. There were six of us and we all had enough space to spread out and enjoy the house. We did a lot of cooking and felt the kitchen could be better stocked with newer pans and serving dishes but made due with what was on hand. We enjoyed the large yard for games and the deck for quiet times sitting and looking at the water.

This house is a lovely home away from home! Beautiful touches of fresh flowers from their garden, towels laid out, everything clearly explained. The house has many areas which can be used as conversation/ reading spots. Plenty of room for a little privacy when you want some. Dishes, utensils, baking and cooking supplies are all available. You can see and hear the ocean right from the house! Beautiful huge lawn with gorgeous flower beds . Chairs are available again to facilitate chats or quiet reading. A terrific deck with a dining table and plenty of chairs with cushions. Worth every penny
