Perfectly situated close to a cove beach (walking distance). The kids loved it!
We had a bit of fog this week but still made the most of the sea air, beaches and quality time reading and playing games. So many memories!
Thank you to the owners for sharing your home with us.

We had such a great time with endless things to do around the island within walking and biking distance of the house, we rarely got in the car. The property itself was great as adults could relax or unwind for the day while kids ran around in the back yard and played. And if we needed anything we could run up the hill to TIMs. Such a perfectly wonderful spot. We feel so lucky to have gotten to spend time here!

If you're looking for a relaxing and private getaway, then this is the place!
Our family had an amazing time while staying on the island for the week. The cottage provided plenty of room for our family of 4, and the views of the ocean from the living room were beautiful. We enjoyed the local beaches and spent time at both the lighthouse and the lobster museum, where we learned about the island's rich fishing history, and a little more about where we were staying!
It felt so good to just hang out and not have to rush around.
We are definitely are thinking about coming back next year.

We are a group of 8 artists who retreat annually on an island in Penobscot Bay. This was our 18th year and yet our first trip to Swans Island . We rented both the Meadow and the Cove house and just LOVED OUR STAY. The location was quiet, accessible to amazing walks and views of the ocean and Milky Way at night. We were able to have dinners at both the Meadow and the Cove house and enjoyed the antique nature of the houses. One foggy cold day we were able to enjoy a lovely warm fire and even cook dinner on the woodstove which was an added treat. There was plenty of space for each artist to have quiet and alone painting time as well as places for us to get together to talk about our work or share a cup of tea on one of the porches. We loved it and hope to be back next year! Thank you to the family for sharing this special home!

This was our second trip to swans island and we loved it! The house was spacious with plenty of sleeping spaces. We travelled with a young family so the stairs and steps to the sunroom were a challenge, as was not having laundry facilities. I love the artsy, rustic feel of the property and the gorgeous views of the ocean. We experienced two short power outages while we there due to rainy and windy weather… didn’t bother us much, but could be an issue for some. Overall, loved our stay and gracious hosts!

We rented this house for my mother and we, her adult children, came and went. The location is fabulous, a short walk to the isthmus which has swimming and great kayaking on both sides. It’s also a longish walk or a short bike ride to Fine Sands, a beautiful beach. I highly recommend bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, etc, as Swan’s Island is delightful in its lack of touristy attractions. The house was great, and the owner couldn’t have been nicer. The furnishings could use a little updating, but the kitchen had everything we needed and the wifi is excellent. We only wished we had longer!

We were on Swan Island 20 years ago and it is as beautiful as I remember it to be. The location of the house we rented was fabulous. Water views back and side of house. We received information about the house beforehand but I wish we had been informed of the TV situation in case of a rainy day. Who today has a VHS TV the size of an IPAD. I assumed it would have been a DVD player / TV. Brought multiple DVD movies but were unable to watch them. Did however get to read 5 books and play backgammon again. For the most part it was a great vacation. The people on the island were as friendly as ever. If the pillows and the pots and pans and the TV were updated I would have given it 5 stars. Needed utensils for hard shell lobsters. Since we were there last they opened "The Tea Room". It was great for pastry and sandwiches. Tim's general store was also handy. Great looking breads,soups and other types of fresh foods. The house was clean and my HGTV person took over planning how I would decorate it if it was mine to do so.

This is a beautiful and comfortable home. Our family felt truly privileged to spend two weeks in a house that was sited, designed, built, and furnished with tremendous attention to detail and artistry. Located within walking distance of trails, beaches, and even the one store on Swan's Island, the house met the needs of all members of our family. Among our favorite features were the well-equipped kitchen, the simplicity of the household furnishings, the antique kitchen table that expanded to accommodate many visitors, the comfortable chairs and good lighting that invited one to spend time with a book, and the outdoor charcoal grill. For anyone seeking a complete escape from hectic and commercial daily life, this is an ideal spot.
