I planned our stay over a year ago and was so excited about our trip and this place did not disappoint! It was evident that much thought had gone into all the little details that made it a great stay vs. just a good one. While we spent a little time at Acadia and Bar Harbor, everyone’s favorite thing to do was spend time here at the lake - kayaking, canoeing, fishing, playing games, putting puzzles together and just spending time together. We enjoyed the beautiful views, especially the gorgeous sunsets! We were quite fortunate to have mostly nice weather, but even if the weather had kept us indoors, we would have been perfectly happy and content. The owners were fantastic to work with! We definitely would like to come back in the future!

Great view! Fun to swim and kayak. The Loons were amazing! Kitchen well equipped , loved having a grill! Laundry room made our stay easy. Josh is a super host!

Josh is an amazing host who was incredibly responsive to our every question. The setting was perfect, private yet close to many sites and restaurants. We would love to go back!

We loved this cozy lake house! Beautiful views of the mornings and evenings! We had 4 guys that love to fish so it was perfect for them and I got to relax and read a good book just like I wanted. Very close to Belfast where there was some great restaurants, just wish the restaurants would stay open a little later LOL. We were about 30 minutes from Bangor where my girls went to the Mall to do some shopping!! Some of us even took the Stephen King Tour in Bangor which I loved cause like I said I am a reader. At the lake house we had everything we had a group of 8 and it was comfortable for all of us!! My dad had his private room in the Cub which was perfect for him so he didn’t have to deal with the crazy grandkids LOL!! This is one of the best vacations we have taken and we would 100% do it again!! Thank you Josh Pooler for all your help you were amazing!!

Incredible time enjoying Gods beautiful creation.

This was the most relaxing vacation we have ever been on. We completely disconnected from all electronics and were able to just sit and watch the water views and the loons all day long. The rustic cottage was exactly what we needed.

We truly enjoyed the calmness and pure nature around the beautiful cabin. A wonderful place to enjoy family and relax together!

Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Swan Lake, a perfect location for exploring to Acadia, the Coast, and charming Maine communities. Also went kayaking, gazed at stars, and hiked local trails. The house was perfect for us and all was in great condition. Recommend this place for your family too!

This was the perfect spot! The location on the lake was perfect for viewing sunsets and stargazing. The huge wall of windows facing the lake make you feel like you're right on the water (and the A/C unit combats the heat from the afternoon sun well). Although there are neighbors on either side, the camp felt like a private retreat thanks to the trees and rocks on either side. It was the perfect setting for a gathering of family. We're grateful for having found this spot!

Three generations of us stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The walk-in beach with rocky areas on the side to explore was perfect for the kids (5 & 7). They had a blast catching crayfish and frogs. The adults had a great time relaxing (inside & outside), and enjoying the loons, bald eagles, and other birds. We had a lovely time visiting Belfast several times, as well as Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and observatory. The house was well equipped, comfortable, and clean. A great time was had by all. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

We had the best time at the lakehouse! The house (think of it as somewhere between a really nice cabin or a rustic lakehouse) was clean, comfortable, and spacious. There was plenty of space for our 4 adults and 4 kids and the separate cub house was perfect for our friend with no kids so she could sleep later than our little early risers. The house had everything we needed from kitchen staples to bath and beach towels. The beach was incredible and we enjoyed fishing, swimming, and kayaking (in the provided double kayak). There is a little grocery store 6 minutes away and other than a trip to the store we stayed at the house all week, because while there are many things to do in the area, we wanted to spend our time relaxing at this awesome, private beach paradise! We will definitely be back!

We had a great stay. Everything was as described and communication was a breeze with Josh. Although small square footage wise, the layout was perfect to give everyone their own space. Water was filtered for drinking and cooking with reverse osmosis, beds were comfy, water pressure was better there than in my own house and the place was stocked with plenty of towels, cookware, books, games and a few dvds. We knew ahead of time there was no wi-fi and that wasn't an issue at all. We had brought a few dvds with us for evening time and the Hotspot on our tablet worked just fine. I would recommend bringing some pool noodles or floaties with you if you have kids as there were not any there and we couldn't find anywhere until the last day to buy any. I would also recommend going old school and printing out directions on how to get there from the airport as we lost service quite a few times on the way in which was a little challenging. I also recommend checking out Moose state park nearby if you have kids as my daughter had a blast hunting for baby crabs in the tide pools. Literally nothing to complain about. Book this place, you won't regret it! The sunsets alone make it worth the trip.

We’ve rented houses in Maine every year for well over a decade, and this place is 100% the best. The photos don’t do it justice. Josh was a phenomenal host, dealing with so many questions like a champ. It had everything we needed and for the first time in our vacation history, we spent more days at the rental than we did out and about. Location is fantastic though, Belfast is close and has all sorts of fun things to do if you’re so inclined. But between the well appointed house, the relaxed camp-like atmosphere, and the lake, I couldn’t imagine a better place to spend vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Million dollar sunsets. Loved listening to the loons in the evening and finding a bald eagle nest. We really did not want to leave. Josh you have a very special place there on the lake. We did have an issue with the tub draining. Contacted Josh and his neighbor and dad came that evening to try to fix it and the plumber was there the next morning. Josh was apologetic and had someone there as fast as he could. Thanks for the quick response. We would love to return sometime in the future. If we are able to get another reservation. 😃

Thank you Josh, My husband and I with our two standard poodles enjoyed the property!! Wonderful place with all the amenities. Large beach area with shallow water for the little one to play. It is a nice private area for the dogs to be outside and not bother other homes near by. The gradual incline on the loon road made for a twice daily walk to keep in shape and occupy the dogs!

Our family enjoyed this home a lot! Location was convenient to grocery stores and the lake was perfect!!

What a beautiful location for a family vacation,… we would definitely stay here again. If you like quiet, privacy, comfort and location this place has it all. This was our first time staying in this area and we couldn’t have been happier. We rented a pontoon boat for a few days as well and loved exploring the lake on that as well as in the kayak. Everything was provided that you may need during your stay and if there was something else you wanted the local store 5 minutes away had it, plus much more! Our family of adult children with their significant others, plus dogs had plenty of space between the main house and the cabin. Amazing sunsets, loons and bald eagle sightings are the icing on the cake!

We could not have asked for a more better place to spend a stress free vacation

We had such a great time! Little cold this time of year to be jumping in the lake but the dogs didn’t mind at all! Everyday they couldn’t wait to jump in! Cabin and cub house were perfect for all 3 generations. Fire pit and sunsets were amazing!!

We loved staying here, the house was very nice… cub cabin came in handy!! The house was just as described online!! Area had a lot to offer if you traveled into bar harbor or Verona island.. would definitely consider staying here again!!

We loved our week on beautiful Swan Lake. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking and canoeing, but also just sitting and watching the sun set over the lake, or listening to the loons. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, including a bottle of wine and ingredients for S'mores! We were concerned the bedrooms might be too warm since the AC is downstairs, but with the windows open and fans on, we were perfectly comfortable. The central location offers access to tons of things to do - we explored Acadia and Camden as well as Belfast and Searsport. Would absolutely recommend!

Our two families had a wonderful time! The property was the perfect size for our group, and even had a wonderful sunlit loft space where teens could hide away when they needed to be left alone! Perfect access to the lake for our swimming, paddling and SUPing adventures. Also, beautiful sunsets right out the main view from the living area...no picture can give justice to the view watching the sun go down. I would have given 5-stars across the board, but the lack of wifi did give us a little trouble with the teens in our group. Owner was very up front about this after we booked, and very helpful with our questions. There was just enough cell service (AT&T so of course not great) to handle basic essentials of a week long vacation, but not enough to say, stream a show after the sun went down. Hardly a negative when we're supposed to be getting away and unplugging, but not quite what we were expecting.

We enjoyed our week on the lake. The property was even nicer than described. The house was clean and comfortable. Check in was a breeze. The welcome baskets were such a nice touch and started the week off so nicely. We enjoyed all that the lake had to offer…swimming, fishing and beautiful sunsets. The kitchen is well stocked and there is plenty of seating for everyone, inside and out. This home is in a great location, allowing us to easily explore Camden, Belfast, Bar Harbor and Acadia. The Pooler’s were wonderful hosts.

We had a wonderful week on swan lake. With 8 adults it’s sometimes hard to find places with enough beds that don’t cost a fortune. Josh’s house was the perfect place for all of us to sleep and hang out comfortably. The welcome basket, complete with a bottle of red wine was just the cherry on top. Josh was the most accommodating and responsive host. He was always quick to answer my messages. The house was so clean and has the most gorgeous view of the quiet lake. It really does feel secluded because you can’t see the neighbors from the water front. We enjoyed fishing, floating, kayaking, and having fires at night while listening to the loons. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone!

House is pretty much as advertised. Easy check in and check out. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking. Steps away from the lake. We unfortunately had some inclement weather, but the good days it was so nice getting outside. The glass windows were also nice, it’s a view of the lake and the amazing sunsets. Great rental for hanging out at the lake and relaxing.
