Our historic home was once the residence of the famous Arctic explorer renowned for his discovery of the North Pole, Admiral Robert E. Peary. Located on a quiet residential street in Fryeburg, the oldest village in the White Mountains of western Maine, the Admiral Peary House sits on ten beautiful acres. Surrounding the sprawling white victorian farm house, circa 1865, are spacious lawns, award-winning perennial gardens, and a superb red clay tennis court. Spring, Summer and Fall guests will enjoy a vast array of activities in the area, such as, hiking, antiquing, golfing, outlet shopping, boating, and, of course, playing tennis.
Complimentary bicycles are available to enjoy the scenic beauty of our village.
A trip to this area is never complete without a peaceful day canoeing the Saco River - a pristine beauty that's especially nice midweek. Our house has been lovingly restored for your comfort. The guest livingroom has a massive fireplace, ample sitting and reading areas, and a regulation billiard table. A large screened porch complete with white wicker overlooks the lawns and gardens to the back of the house. The porch is the perfect spot for a quiet retreat for reading or socializing with other guests.
