About the host
Hosted by Eva Erickson
Our family has a long history with Wellfleet beginning with a bicycle ride my father took through Wellfleet from Hartford Connecticut all the way to Provincetown on a heavy iron bicycle before the Second World War on what was then a considerably more bucolic Route Six. Our mother, some of whose works decorate the house, began painting and sketching in Wellfleet seventy years ago. While our presence in Wellfleet has waxed and waned, we've always maintained a close connection here, particularly with Duck Creek, where we've been returning annually since the nineteen seventies. Our parents have lived full time in Wellfleet for decades now, and this property, a former rooming house where generations of Wellfleetians have lived at one time or another, belongs to them. Both parents, now in their nineties, live nearby in another house on Duck Creek, where our father still writes and our mother still paints and sketches when the mood strikes.
Why they chose this property
Wellfleet's Commercial Street meanders along Duck Creek and ends at the town pier. One of Wellfleet's older homes, Peake House was built by whale oil merchant Samuel Peake in 1825 on Duck Creek and is remarkably well-preserved despite its colorful history.
For decades a boarding house for Wellfleet locals and fishermen, Peake House has been progressively restored and carefully updated in recent years and now houses the art collection of Evarts Cecil Erickson, a writer and researcher, and Janet Doub Erickson, a New England graphic artist and author. Stroll down to Uncle Tim's Bridge to watch the tide come in, gallery-hop, or walk to the library for a lecture or a book. Convenient biking in every direction. Convenient kayak Duck Creek put-in on the property for guest use. Abundant vistas for artists to sketch. The waterfront behind the house was the subject of a two-page National Geographic centerfold in the nineteen seventies.

What makes this property unique
Peake House is superbly situated for kayakers (you can put in behind the house, and easily store your kayaks there as well), bikers (both off-road and on-road bike trails are easily accessible), sailors docked in the harbor (we're less than a quarter of a mile from the town pier), visiting artists (you can sketch from the deck, from the water front, or virtually from anywhere you look!), writers (we have good wifi), and the indolent (there's always the front porch). Runners will enjoy the three mile run to the oceanside, or the two-and-a-half miles to the Herring River Gut. Hikers can leave for Great Island by foot from Peake house, or bike to the Gut and leave their bikes there to continue their journey on foot.
Peake House is a short walk or bike ride from Wellfleet Marketplace, so you needn't bring anything even if you're planning to cook; Wellfleet Marketplace is well-stocked. The library and other Wellfleet amenities are also a short walk or bike ride away.
Wellfleet town beaches and ponds require a beach sticker in season. Your guest receipt is proof of residency that you will need to purchase the sticker. Please see the town website for additional information and pricing.
