About this property

Perfect Vacation Cottage, Filled with Sunshine and Laughter.

We are already dreaming about SUMMER 2023 and will begin accepting reservations after JANUARY 1, 2023. We look forward to hearing from you at the beginning of the new year.

We would like to welcome you to our traditional Maine cottage. A cottage with contemporary comforts within the heritage and charm of our much loved family cottage, which is over 100 years young.
Within this charming cottage we have added WiFi, cable, new mattresses and painted beadboard downstairs and upstairs.
This is a home for vacation living in comfort. We are truly on the peak of Peaks Is.
Morning coffee is best enjoyed on the sunny front porch where you can welcome the day and say hello to the neighbors. However end of day wine should be savored on the screened porch in the late afternoon watching the sunset It is from the screened porch, as well as the house that one has breath taking views of Portland, Portland Harbor, other islands and on a clear day Mt. Washington.
The cottage faces west so the view each evening is of the sunset, sometimes turning the land and water to rose sometimes to gold.
We have a large eat in kitchen, a dining room and a living room, with lots of book shelves filled with choices to meet everyone's interest. The first floor bathroom has a claw foot tub and is off the kitchen.
Up-stairs are three bedrooms, one king bed one queen bed and third with twin beds.The full bath with a shower and separate tub.
Our cottage is a ten minute walk from the ferry and the island shops and library. It is a few houses from the school yard, which has a playground and basketball court. It is also only a short walk, or bike ride, to the island clubhouse for children's camp, tennis or sailing.
We also have a good sized yard for playing ball.
This is the perfect family vacation spot.

Heaven on Peaks
We had the most spectacular stay at the cottage! There are such beautiful views and the cottage is so convenient to the ferry and restaurants. Jean was so lovely and helpful. The house was clean and spacious. We can’t thank the family enough for such a wonderful time and hope to be back next year for a longer stay.

Lovely Stay on Peaks
Lovely cottage with plenty of room for 6 adults. It was a bit chilly over our Late Sept stay, but there were a couple heaters that kept the place cozy. Hope to be back to visit the island soon!

Comfey Cottage
Peaks Island is a wonderful respite from what ever ails ya. Wonderful cottage in the true “Mainah” style. Well maintained rustic cottage with a true feeling of the Peaks experience. Located on a lovey street that offers the best sun sets of any season. Nicely appointed with typical cottage furnishing, which is something from everyone in my experience. All fitting nicely together for a very comfortable well kept place to call home for a few days. Would come back again.

Adorable and quaint cottage on Peaks Island
Such a quaint place. Perfect location… about 1/2 mile from the ferry landing. Beautiful view of the water from the back porch of the house. House is from the 1800’s and has so many old features that make it such a “cottage” feeling. Beds were comfortable and hosts were great to communicate with. Would definitely return here for a future stay and would recommend.
