Photos and Description of this Peaks Island holiday cottage Well equipped 2+ bedrooms, 1.5 baths, sleeps 6

Located on Peaks Island, Maine, the Treehouse is the perfect place to get away from it all. Hop (or drive) on the Casco Bay Line Ferry from the famed Old Port of Portland, Maine and minutes later you will be stepping onto Peaks Island. The Treehouse is a short walk from the ferry dock, located in a quiet part of town. It is close to everything, but offers a place of restful solitude where the breezes blow through the maples & oaks the house was named for. The Treehouse is a fun and informal house with two plus bedrooms, two additional futon sofas, a bath and a half, and all the amenities you could wish for: VCR, DVD, TV, Wireless Internet, phone, W&D, DW, charcoal grill, an outside deck and fenced in yard. We invite you to bring your well behaved dog (with deposit), but must regretfully ask that you leave your cats at home. Available by the week during summer, by the day( 2-day min.) or week fall & spring, winter by special arrangement.

Home Sweet Home

Review Submitted: November 1, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
This house was an excellent choice for me. It was in a great location for walking down front to the shops & ferry, but tucked back in a private, wooded lot. The house is well maintained & is a nice layout--cozy but not cramped. There is definitely enough space to spread out & not feel on top of one another. It is a great choice for families &/or friends. I Love Peaks & had a hard time leaving Susan & Tony's lovely home. They are extremely accomodating & gracious. You will feel at home the minute you walk through the door.

Review Submitted: June 30, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Susan and Tony, your cottage was perfect for total relaxation and cozy comfort. It provided a very special gathering place for good friends who needed catch-up time.
The house was fully equipped and very clean. Great location in the woods near trails to hike over to the back shore and a close to "town" for groceries, the ferry and bike rental. The people of Peaks Island are so warm and friendly. Thank you!!!!!!
