The Inn on Peaks Island
"Why did this hotel catch your attention?Located on scenic Peaks Island in Casco Bay, The Inn on Peaks Island has unbeatable views and vibes, with just six guest rooms and a popular pub. The overall experience more than justifies the 15-minute ferry ride from the mainland. Tell us all about the rooms.All of the suites are named after other Maine islands; the Great Diamond, for instance, has cathedral-style ceilings, a king canopy bed, a hot tub, and stunning views from the balcony. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?Wi-Fi is complimentary. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?The restaurant does Maine-influenced pub food and does it well, with items like haddock tacos and lobster sliders. After 5 p.m., the menu expands with additional entrées, including cioppino and surf 'n' turf. If the weather cooperates you should eat outside. And the service? Pretty straightforward: your needs will be met, but service is nothing extraordinary. What about the neighborhood? What else can we do around here?Peaks Island has more activities than other islands in Casco Bay, including kayak rentals, sailing trips, and art galleries to visit. Bottom line: Why are we choosing Inn at Peaks Island?Like most hotels in this part of Maine, Inn at Peaks Island tends to be more about the scenery than the actual accommodations. But here, that's more than enough. Need an extra push? This is one of the more reasonably priced island hotels in the area, too." - Joe Ricchio
