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.

Stunning, ever changing views of the Bay can be seen from every room. This well appointed home stands above the rocky beach nestled among the trees on this quiet,peaceful island. A path leads down to the shore with creative, adventurous stops to explore. Stay to yourself or mingle with the friendly residents of Swans Island.

The beautiful home and the fabulous views were as described , we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Few things to note, Board the ferry after filling gas from mainland and getting ample groceries from Ellsworth. There is only one store in the island which has some basic supplies that you may run out of. Caroline and Kerri were both very helpful from beginning till end. We had forgotten a few personal items and it was mailed to us along with our security deposit! If you are looking for a peaceful getaway with scenic views , this is the perfect spot. Point of interests you can’t miss - the coat harbor light house the quarry ( swimming in the quarry was the highlight of the trip for my teen) fine sand beach near the house.
