About this property

There is a 7 night minimum.

One of the largest and finest cottages on the less populated side of the island, it is a full service, wonderful family cottage with immense yard for children. Large deck with gas grill, umbrella table and lots of chairs, epic inside porch, living room, dining room, ROKU, HULU, WIFI , full kitchen (including all lobster feast needs!), 2 full baths, 4 bedrooms. Yard bordered by stone wall. 5 minute walk to both bay and Hussey Sound. 20 minute walk to Ferry, store and restaurants.

All beds are made and ready for you. LOTS of towels are folded and all set for you to use. No need to bring any linens. GREAT for travelers. Additional photos on my social media website.
I have had many Bride & Groom families stay when getting married on the island. It is so perfect for getting ready and all the festivities that take place. I can also recommend a wedding planner if you need one.....just send me a message.

Perfect July 4th

We booked this place well in advance of July 4th due to covid and Pam couldn't have been more gracious. My wife and friends enjoyed the place very much. We're all long-time Peaks renters and we'd put this place among the top places we've rented.

Overly priced accommodations

My family stayed for 9 days on Peaks Island in this cottage. Pam was accommodating and helpful through the booking process and assisting us before we arrived. However, we did have a bad experience while staying here. We saw mice at the beginning of our stay, but didn’t think anything about it due to being in the “woods.” The problem continued to get worse and on our second to last day, we were greeted with a shocking surprise... a mouse had nested and had her babies in my 4 month old granddaughters suitcase. We then discovered that the mouse had been eating holes through our belongings. Most of the accommodations were up to par, but we did not find the kitchen to be fully stocked, nor the kitchen and bath linens to be adequate. The bath and kitchen towels are basically rags and old. The kitchen has very few baking pans and the ones we did find to use had mice droppings in them and the can opener was rusted. When paying this much money, I would expect the accommodations to be satisfactory.

A Week on Peak's

My family flew in from different parts of the country for a week on Peak's Island. This charming house was perfect for our needs and the owner was very nice and extremely accommodative. Everything we needed for eating, cooking, sleeping, bathing, etc. was available on arrival. We had seven adults and two young children in the house and there was plenty of space for everyone to hang out (especially the large front deck). My two year old loved the big yard and ran around for hours. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect home for us

When our daughter was married at TEIA just down the hill, this was the ideal place for us. We used all 4 bedrooms, and the spacious inside porch and living room provided space for the women in the wedding to have their makeup done and chat. The host has the house very well outfitted and met us with a very thorough welcome; she has made the rental experience simple. We enjoyed the warm, slightly rustic feel and the family history on the walls (ask about the civil war sword). Simply a fun place to enjoy the island

It is a beautiful setting with a rustic feel.

Pam couldn't have been more hospitable. The house has a rustic feel and very clean. We spent our mornings sitting on the screened in porch before we went off to do an activity for the day. We got to truely experience island life and loved every minute of it.
