Welcome to Whitegate! This charming, dog friendly, 1860's antique home located on Peaks Island, Maine is perched atop an acre of rolling lawn overlooking the sailboats and ferries gliding across the picturesque blue waters of Casco Bay. Getting married? What an idyllic setting for you and your loved ones to celebrate your vows and new life.
Come to this classic Maine Greek Revival home to experience all the comforts of a luxury island getaway. The Antique Cottage, the original home, offers exceptional views of Casco Bay, and a stroll down the lawn to the private deeded right of way gets you to the longest beach on the island, and the best for seaglass hunting or a stroll with your pup.
The home was featured twice in Traditional Home magazine. Once for being a romantic island holiday getaway, and again for the inspiration of AngusWeare, a high-end apparel company for dogs. Needless to say, Whitegate is the place for pampered dogs and their owners.
Come for a week, or a month, and delight in having your own enchanting island home. At Whitegate, you will experience the best of island living, a place where the birds sing, the seagulls soar and the salt air brings to life the romance and tranquility of life by the sea.
