Our family of 5 adults, one child and two teens thoroughly enjoyed our recent week at this iconic and historic home. Greeted with floral bouquets, a welcome basket, and every imaginable aspect of true Maine hospitality, each family member immediately sought out a "nook of their own" -and there are plenty! Breakfast in the "morning room", quiet book reads in the "secret porch" downstairs, naps in the upstairs indoor porch, dinners on the front porch, and yes, even meteor showers on the top deck while sipping wine, were all part of the daily routine. When cousins came over to visit one evening, the ample living room found us all playing Charades, then Trivia, and as the youngsters tired and took to their rooms with laptops, the adults had spirited discussions about how to solve world issues. A kitchen/pantry made with "foodies" in mind, every need anticipated, every convenience, every minute detail already planned for, made our stay by far the most pleasurable of any in our half dozen years of leasing on Peak's. The decorating here is a labor of love: straight from a Victoria or Country Living magazine, only more practical, more personal. With bikes provided, we all got a daily dose of exercise while walking and biking to the nearby beaches and events held on the island. A truly idyllic vacation we hope to repeat in years to come!
