Description

For a cozy escape you'll never forget, fly away to the Feathered Nest



The Feathered Nest is a tranquil hideaway on Peaks Island, Maine, with a view of Diamond Passage. It's just an 8-minute walk from the Casco Bay ferry to/from Portland, and a hop, skip and a jump to Centennial Beach on the island.  For children, the elementary school playground is right across the street.



YOUR CHOICE: 



  • You can stay at the Feathered Nest a full week during the off season (November 1-May 16th), OR

  • You can stay at the Feathered Nest ANY 3 nights during the mid season (May 17-June 21). 


What to do while you're there:  You can buy your own groceries or go out to eat at one of the island restaurants. Depending on the season, you can cross-country ski, kayak, ride bikes, or explore the beaches and shops.



What's the house like:
Wraparound porch! If you're like us, you'll spend most of your waking
hours on the spacious front deck - at the picnic table or in the
spacious hot tub - watching the birds (birders, ask for a list), the
deer, and the boats go by.

The living room has windows galore. Even when you're indoors you'll
feel as if you're outdoors. If it gets chilly there's a wood stove to
keep you cozy (oil heat, too). The dining room has sliders to the deck - so you won't miss any of the action.

The renovated kitchen is well-equipped, including a convection oven  and a dishwasher ...plus, there's a Weber grill on the porch.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is spacious with great windows and views. It has a queen size bed. The guest bedroom has a double bed. Both beds have high quality mattresses so you can count on waking up refreshed. Plus, for overflow guests, the sofa is mattress quality.

The sumptuous upstairs bathroom has a double shower to die for! It's made of beautiful hand-painted Talavera tile from Mexico. And, for
those chilly mornings, the tiled floor has built-in heat! A half bath
is conveniently located on the main floor, and a washer and dryer in
the cellar.
