the John Ford house was so cute and extremely clean. the owners could not be any more accommodating. The house had anything you would have needed. Would for sure rent this house again. my first time on Peaks Island such a cute place to see.
I didn’t want to leave. The home was great and welcoming Very clean. We rented golf cart and enjoyed. You don’t need to rent to enjoy everything. Market,cafe and restaurant we visited were good and the people on the island were kind. The views were amazing. I loved waking up and having the view from bed along with hearing the sounds of the water crashing on the rocks. I would come back
We had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful cottage on Peaks Island. We've been going to Peaks for forty years and this was absolutely the cleanest cottage we've ever been to! I do a lot of cooking for my family and the kitchen was stocked so well which I really appreciated. The owners obviously care that their guests have a wonderful stay from all the little touches of flowers and soaps and linens. The location was amazing and we had a wonderful two weeks! Thank you for sharing this lovely cottage with our family.
The location was fantastic! We were on the backshore yet very close to town. The house had a great layout and fit our family of six adults very comfortably. We also enjoyed the lovely gardens and spacious lawn which were very well-maintained. The hosts were very accessible and pleasant and we loved the personalized touches like fresh flowers and home-baked crumb cake. Ford House is a great rental!
The John Ford House is a wonderful bungalow just a block from the Casco Bay. Every morning I sat on the deck and watched the water, breathed in the clear air and enjoyed the cool breeze. The house is lovely - beautiful wood floors, antique furniture, a wonderful yard, and a great view of the water from the Master Bedroom. If you're a fan of old movies - which I am - then this is the place for you. There are framed posters from John Ford's movies, a DVD collection of his works (and other movies too) and books about him and his career. The house is an easy walk into town or to the 2 public beaches. Dan and Mona were great and answered all of my questions. I'd return to Peak's Island just to stay there again!
This lovely cottage was perfect! Extremely clean, with plenty of room for gathering or finding a quiet place to read, and well appointed. We appreciated the little signs throughout with instructions. Very helpful! Waking up with a view of the ocean from the master bedroom was delightful! Had a wonderful time and look forward to staying again!
This was a second time staying at the Ford house. There were six of us and we all had enough space to spread out and enjoy the house. We did a lot of cooking and felt the kitchen could be better stocked with newer pans and serving dishes but made due with what was on hand. We enjoyed the large yard for games and the deck for quiet times sitting and looking at the water.
This house is a lovely home away from home! Beautiful touches of fresh flowers from their garden, towels laid out, everything clearly explained. The house has many areas which can be used as conversation/ reading spots. Plenty of room for a little privacy when you want some. Dishes, utensils, baking and cooking supplies are all available. You can see and hear the ocean right from the house! Beautiful huge lawn with gorgeous flower beds . Chairs are available again to facilitate chats or quiet reading. A terrific deck with a dining table and plenty of chairs with cushions. Worth every penny
Location was perfect! Hosts very easy to communicate with. Full size bed mattresses were very poor and very uncomfortable. Some items were missing in the description- chiminea, sleeper sofa in LR, (just a couch)cutting board in kitchen. Would stay again if there was more updating to the home.
We had a great stay at The Ford House for our wedding weekend! The location was perfect and the house was adorable. It met all of our needs and then some. Mona & Daniel left some thoughtful details (the pound cake was delicious!) and were very accommodating. I would be happy to stay there again!
Charming property in a perfect spot! We loved having morning coffee on the porch and an evening glass of wine on the deck. In between we walked to the beach and to restaurants, or the ferry. We couldn’t be happier with this rental and are already planning a return!
The rental was great for a family weekend for a destination wedding. The home had great green space for the kids to explore and they loved the walking all around. The weather, night sounds, and air was so pleasant with the windows open (May weather). The extra details like welcome notes, easy guidebook, and beauty items (hairspray and blow dryer) were fantastic. Communication was easy before arrival and I didn't have any other messages.
We had a great time at the Ford House. Everything was lovely!
As a writer and history buff, our stay in the Ford Cottage was a rare treat. And to read that this was the place John Ford considered home was even more confirmation that we made the right choice in booking these accommodations. The hosts/owners are gracious, timely, accurate in the description of the cottage and very helpful with questions. The home was lovely, clean, not overstated in its decor, and truly afforded the four of us a wonderful, restful, restorative weekend. Proximity to the ocean is perfect - just a stone's throw from the waterfront, but far enough off the main road to enjoy the peacefulness of the location. We were delighted and highly recommend it!
Everything you could have asked for. Well appointed and clean. The grounds and house were decorated impeccably. Able to sit on the deck and hear and see the ocean. Great views from the master bedroom as well. A great way to experience Peaks.
My family has been renting on Peaks for years and this is by far my favorite house. We enjoyed everything from the moment we checked in, being welcomed by fresh flowers and a delicious pumpkin bread. To the day we left, bidding Dan and Mona a farewell while they cleaned up from an unexpected and damaging storm. The location is wonderful. The views are incredible. The yard is a real bonus. And the house is full of history and cinema. We hope to stay there again soon! Thank you Dan and Mona!
Great week at the Ford house filled with island history!
We had a wonderful return trip to the John Ford house. The location is just right. Dan was super responsive. Can’t wait to return next summer!
The house was beautiful and in a great location with an amazing yard and garden. Mona and Dan were so kind to leave beautiful flower arrangements from their garden and a blueberry pie for us upon our arrival. The house itself has a great layout with amazing views. Our family couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. We plan to come back again soon. Thank you Mona and Dan!!!
We've stayed many times on Peaks Island and this was the cleanest and most pleasant place we've ever stayed at. The owners clearly spent a great deal of time and thought into making sure your every need is met. And that includes beautiful gardens to enjoy. Walking distance from the boat but far enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Just a lovely spot and highly recommend.
