About this house rental

Enjoy a quiet retreat in this luxury home overlooking Jericho Bay. Located on the secluded west side of Swan’s Island, this custom Lindal post and beam home has everything you need for a restful escape.

This comfortable home welcomes you with modern amenities including a gourmet kitchen furnished with Viking appliances, central air and heating to name a few. The master suite boasts a king size bed, Jacuzzi tub, steam shower, heated bathroom tile floor and french doors leading to a private balcony. Two additional bedrooms feature queen size beds, linens, full baths with heated floors and cozy sitting areas to enjoy floor-to-ceiling water views.

A panoramic view from the great room is one of the home's highlights. From windows reaching 30 feet above to the cathedral ceiling you can see from Jericho Bay to Deer Isle and beyond. The wood-burning fireplace in the great room features a large granite hearth and soaring chimney. You can enjoy spectacular sunsets by the warmth of a fire or from one of the home's two decks.

The sitting area above the great room is a peaceful spot to read a book, watch a movie or just soak in the view.

Walk down a wooded path to the water and explore the pure natural beauty of coastal Maine. Whether you prefer to venture out in a kayak, stroll along the shore to watch the seals frolicking in the surf, or just relax on the sun-drenched rocks, this is the perfect spot to unwind. Fine Sands Beach is a 5-minute drive from the property, if you would like to put your feet in the sand or take a brisk swim. For those who enjoy feasting on lobster, there is no shortage on the island. Fresh, reasonably-priced Maine lobster can be found a short drive away at the Fisherman’s Co-op.

Whether you are seeking adventure or looking to get away from it all, Swans Island is an unspoiled gem with abounding natural beauty.

The house is a beautiful home and has everything you would want in a vacation home. The property is absolutely gorgeous and was fantastic to wander around. The owners answered every question and were very helpful.

We loved our stay on Swans. The house is in a spectacular spot with a stunning view. It was clean and well maintained and the owners were nice and helpful. FYI the house is not quite where it is depicted on the map (as of Aug 2024). It's arguably in a better location but we were coordinating with another family and thought we'd be closer to them. Our only complaint was the kitchen cabinets are stuffed with so much dishware and serving ware that we had nowhere to put a week's worth of groceries and ended up storing it in bags on the floor. On the flip side, the kitchen is well equipped. Also the beds are quite firm, which may not be to everybody's taste.

Our family of 6 (ages 17 - 50) stayed at this spacious and gorgeous home in mid July. Quite honestly in the beginning, the thought of arranging the ferry service, driving on it, navigating the roads and just being on an island, was a bit nerve-wracking. Luckily for us, we soon found out that the ferry service runs smoothly/accurately. The roads (there aren’t many) were accurate to the maps and the house was easy to find with the family name at the end of the driveway. (some of the most friendly people ever are here - EVERYONE waves to one another!) The house itself was well laid out and stocked with ALL of your cooking needs (spatulas, frying/cake pans, muffin tins…) along with all of the cleaning supplies you might need. The bathrooms were also fully stocked with towels. As far as entertainment, the house has a plethora of movies, games, cards and puzzles for your use. During one of our days, we traveled into the busy/bustling Bar Harbor. However, we honestly couldn’t wait to get back to the calm, serene comfort of the house- it was that relaxing! Tips - enjoy a fire by the ocean, star gaze at night (AMAZING), have all of your groceries, gas, and supplies BEFORE getting on the island, and check out the quarry. ANY time I had questions, Kerri, Caroline and Ron were QUICK to respond! Overall, this is a beautiful and peaceful house which comes highly recommended to anyone seeking a respite from the hustle of daily living.
