Your family's summer tradition starts here. There's something special about summers on Peaks Island, the ferry ride over, salty ocean air, bikes leaning against the cottage, days spent exploring the island and evenings together after the crowds have gone home. This charming seasonal cottage offers the opportunity to make the island lifestyle your family's own. Filled with classic Maine cottage character, the home feels comfortable, casual, and wonderfully nostalgic, the kind of place designed for sandy feet, slow mornings, family dinners, card games and generations of summer memories. One of the unique features is the custom designed Murphy bed created specifically for this home by a craftsman featured on Cabin Masters. Thoughtfully incorporated into the cottage, it provides additional sleeping space when family and friends come to visit. Upstairs, three separate bedrooms offer plenty of room and provide cozy retreats for family and guests, to settle in, unwind, and recharge after sun-filled days spent exploring all that Peaks Island has to offer. A gorgeous updated coastal-inspired bathroom brings a fresh, modern touch to the cottage, featuring a beautiful walk in shower that perfectly compliments the setting. Outside, the spacious yard gives kids enough room to play and families plenty of space to gather, relax, and enjoy Maine summers. And on Peaks Island, the adventure extends well beyond your own backyard.
