About this house rental

Heron's Perch on Peaks' Island has space to hold everyone and cozy spots to curl up on your own. Just steps to the market and ice cream shop and a short bike ride to the open ocean on the back shore. Beautiful porch to enjoy morning coffee and light filled rooms. There are four bedrooms and a full bath upstairs with a total of 4 queen beds, 1 double beds and 1 twin bed. One bedroom has a desk. Heron's Perch was built in 1867 and the stairs to the second floor are steeper than modern stairs. There is a sleeping area with a comfortable foldout futon and desk on the first floor off the sitting room and a 3/4 bath downstairs. Plenty of room to relax in the two living rooms, front porch, back deck and large lawn with picnic table, chairs and fire pit. Peaks' Island has everything to make wonderful memories and rest and restore. We are in a residential neighborhood and for this reason quiet hours are mandatory from 10PM-7AM.

Heron's Perch is a lovely house and it is in beautiful shape. The kitchen was great, and the many bedrooms were very comfortable. The decor is clean and modern. Lily was very friendly and quickly addressed the few questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to be back soon.

I'm a born and raised Mainer who now lives far away. I can never visit long enough in the summer. After staying with family for several weeks, our one true vacation week, staying at this beautiful Peaks Island home, was the best. Hope to come again next year!

Our second time staying here with extended family. The house has everything you'll need and more, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, and in a great location.

My extended family had a wonderful time staying at Lily's beautiful house. With 7 of us, there were plenty of comfortable spaces to gather together and in smaller groups. The multi-bed bedroom has a TV, so my daughter and niece could watch their shows while we enjoyed a movie downstairs. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, which is very comfortable. The dishwasher is whisper quiet, the washer and dryer work well, and the kitchen is well stocked. It's a real home away from home. Thank you, Lily!

We had such a wonderful stay at Lily’s home! My brother, sister, and I (along with spouses and kids) recently had a weekend stay. I was a little nervous that the house would comfortably fit 6 adults and 5 kids, but it was absolutely perfect! We had plenty of room, enough beds for everyone, and we had absolutely everything else that we could have possibly needed. I have zero complaints, and my only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Lily is a wonderful host, and I highly recommend this home. I hope to return sometime soon.

Beautiful old home with plenty of places to gather together as a group or go sit and take some time alone to read and relax. Short walk to shops, restaurants, beach and the ferry. Beds were comfortable and pristine. Good pillows. House was stocked with everything you need to cook. Great place for a family to gather!

This is the second year my sister’s family, my husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Lily’s place. This home is very well equipped, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Lily was very quick to respond whenever we had a question. The location is great, quiet and removed from the ‘hubbub’ but within walking distance to the ferry. The outdoor space is also very comfortable, with the addition of a solo fire pit and chairs. We hope to stay again next year!

We were nine adults gathered for a family wedding on the island. The house had comfy beds for all, plenty of space to relax and a very well stocked kitchen. The front porch was our favorite spot to gather for morning coffee or late day cocktails. Lily was readily available through the entire process answering questions promptly. We'd definitely stay again on a return trip.

Wonderful vacation spot!

Wonderful vacation spot!

We had a terrific family reunion on Peaks Island, with Lily’s house being a perfect place to call home for a week. The house is beautiful, very conveniently located within walking distance to the ferry. The house was immaculately clean and had all the amenities needed for a very comfortable stay. The well appointed kitchen made preparing large meals easy, and there is also a large grill on the deck. A wide porch with comfortable chairs and lovely wind chimes made a pleasant place for morning coffee or evening conversation. I would highly recommend Lily’s house!

A Lovely Place to Relax and Recharge

A Lovely Place to Relax and Recharge

Heron's Nest is a beautiful, secluded haven. The house is gorgeous inside and out. Even the paint color, a soothing, warm white, evokes a sense of peace and calm. The house is spacious, with private nooks to get lost in a book and large, comfortable areas in which to gather. The kitchen is well-equipped and has everything you could need, from three different coffee machines (drip, French press, Keurig) to a fabulous omelet pan (we are cooks) and a giant pot for steaming lobsters. The front porch is definitely a highlight. We started each day with a cup of coffee breathing in the fresh cool sea air. Lovely!

Great Stay!

Great Stay!

This is a terrific rental! We stayed for three nights in April. The location is in easy walking distance of the ferry (absolutely critical for easy trips to the mainland). The house is very well stocked. The beds are comfortable. We cooked one night and the kitchen was had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and there is a ton of sleeping space. I’ve stayed in probably 40 rentals in my travels and this is easily one of the best. Communication with the owner is also outstanding. Don’t hesitate on this one!

Very comfortable

Very comfortable

Really spacious home. It was just the 3 of us, but there was plenty of room on the first floor to play games-hide and seek is a favorite of our 4 year old! Woodstove was really cozy, there was enough space that the TV could be on but I could have a quiet area in the other living room to sit and drink tea with my book. The beds were very clean and comfortable. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and was nice to cook in. We would stay here again! Would be a wonderful location to stay with a large family, plenty of space, and privacy on both the first and second floors.
