Summary: Everything was wonderful. A lot of thought went into both the inside and outside decor. Loved all the cozy, comfortable rooms and nooks, deck, and especially the raised meditation garden with the wicker chair facing the water. The various little gardens were beautifully landscaped and it was like a treasure hunt finding all of the little extra touches (painted stones with fish and little sayings, driftwood, rocks, shells, the grotto, the different seating arrangements. The house itself was the same: so cozy and quintessential with many touches from the era of John Ford and invited conversation or relaxing and reading a book. watching a John Ford movie or playing a game with the family. Watching sunrises and sunsets just a short walk from the house was memorable! I do wish bikes were included (just some old ones, nothing fancy, maybe with a basket so we could run to the grocery store or just take a leisurely ride. We met many wonderful folks who lived on the island (including the drivers of the one and only Taxi on the island. To sum it up, if and most likely when I return to Peaks Island, if available, I would choose the John Ford House.
