"Perfectly Lovely" Guest Cottage, 1/2 mi to village, beach, and mountains

"Peters Hill Guest Cottage is a perfectly lovely cottage. Our family of four (including two teenagers) stayed here for five nights in July/August. We cannot praise the experience highly enough! It is simply, but beautifully appointed, very clean, and supremely comfortable. We really lacked for nothing!

The owners live onsite and are perfectly charming—available without being intrusive, and with a knack for the little touches that make a difference. We loved sleeping with the windows open every night, to enjoy the cool night air and the peaceful, wooded surroundings. Blue Hill is a quintessential Maine town, right by the water with local potters, good food, and a community theater, but without the crowds of Bar Harbor. We hated to leave!" —Guest, Sharon M.

"A basket to welcome our arrival greeted us on the kitchen table along with freshly picked flowers from the owners garden. A beautifully appointed home with all the essentials needed—to stay forever. The owners are charming and incredibly helpful. You can’t help but fall in love with this home away from home." —Guests, Tom & Barb

"We loved our stay at Peters Hill Cottage! The Cottage is well appointed and charmingly decorated with plenty of room.If you are looking to experience Maine at its best, this is the place for you." —Guests, Paul & Mary H.

Peter's Hill Guest Cottage is a two bedroom guest cottage within 1/2 mile walking distance to the quintessential Maine coastal village of Blue Hill! It is also less than 1/2 mile to Peters Cove, a tidal swimming cove, and a three-minute drive to the hiking trails of Blue Hill Mountain.

The Cottage is set off from the main house, in a private setting on top of Peters Hill above Blue Hill Harbor. It has Direct TV, and is completely wireless.

Simply the Best VRBO experience!
There is a very good reason that this location receives consistent 5 star ratings. It is a beautifully decorated, well-designed cottage that it is in a wonderful location. The amazing hosts treat their guests so extremely well that guests will regret having to leave. I can't imagine ever having nicer, better hosts.

The Best Experience Ever!
The cottage was attractive, functional, immaculate, and the best location ever! My hosts, Francoise and Scott, were the most delightful and supportive people ever! I have already booked for next year - it was just perfect!

Private Retreat
My daughter, her partner and I enjoyed a week at Peter’s Hill Guest Cottage. The cottage is very comfortable, nicely decorated, well equipped, and well maintained. It’s a short walk to Blue Hill and easily accessible to other areas (Ellsworth, Acadia, Deer Isle, etc.), yet the setting is peaceful and private. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside and watching (and listening to) the many birds that came to the feeders. We also appreciated the attention to/ opportunity to compost and recycle.

Our home away from home!
We have stayed at this perfect cottage several times. Françoise and Scott are wonderful hosts and do whatever they can to make your time here memorable. It’s close to everything - Kneisel Hall, the town of Blue Hill - and an easy drive to Acadia and Schoodic Point. We are sad every time we leave it.

Lovely woodland retreat
When we walked in with our dog there was a water dish and a food dish just waiting for our pup. A lovely touch. The cottage in the wood was a comfortable retreat, our first return to Maine since 2019.It was perfectly appointed, spotlessly clean and very quiet. What else could we ask for?
