The Feathered Nest in Peaks Island

Address: 274 Island Ave., Peaks Island, Maine, USA.

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.

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 (we love to cook!) and a dishwasher (who wants to wash
dishes on vacation?!) ...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.

Peaks Island offers boating, walking, bicycling, picnicking,
birdwatching, plus several nice restaurants. There are several
sandy beaches. Portland is convenient for entertainment and shopping.
