Cottage in Burnt Coat Harbor

The island was beautiful and we found sone fun spots to explore in the trails. The ferry was probably the worst part with not knowing exactly how it worked even though we had tickets for the whole week. The part about needing reservations was not clear on the ferry site. Wesley was an amazing host. I spoke with him on the phone upon arrival and he kindly let me know where everything was. He even let us put two lobsters from the warf on his tab which was very generous. We got to cook our first lobsters! It was a beautiful location and we loved our stay. Only downside was we couldnt launch the kayaks nearby so we didnt use them. The warf wouldnt allow us to use their dock. We spent half our time at Acadia during the day and came back each evening, except for one day when we stayed on the island. Wonderful location to get away somewhere quiet.

This property was just perfect for one of our annual Maine getaways. The house was very comfortable, and well appointed. Since there are no restaurants on the island we were able to prepare our own meals easily in the well stocked kitchen. There aren't enough adjectives to describe the island... perfect for a relaxing week away. Many places to explore and visit.

This was by far the best home I've ever rented on VRBO. Where to begin, the location can't be beat...the owner so nice and responsive. The view from the deck of the bay, the quiet as we watched the lobstermen and a home filled of driftwood and treasures from the sea; I almost didn't want to leave a review because I don't want to share my week with anyone else except my friends and family. A million thank yous Wes and Juan!!!

We loved the remote and beautiful setting of this unique and welcoming home! Being able to explore the wharfs, the forest, a lighthouse (!), and the serene, quiet neighborhood of Swan’s Island was really the magical escape that we needed for a relaxing vacation. Wesley was very responsive and generous with information about his home, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. Be aware when planning that there is just one small general store on the island and visiting Mt Desert Island requires a ferry ride between about 6am - 6pm. You need a car to get to and from although hikes are right outside your door once you’re there.

Our trip was wonderful. This island is so special, one of the most peaceful and hospitable places we've ever been. And the cottage made our stay comfortable and easy. We'll remember this trip for a lifetime.

This was our second time staying at this property. Swans island is amazing as usual. This is a place to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle. The home is lovely, with so much preserved character and history. Thank you Wesley!

Renting this property was very easy. Host was very kind. Would rent again if in the area. Would recommend!

The house was an old island home full of interesting nautical art. With lots of artifacts and photos, surrounded by a beautiful deck with lots of large doors/windows. My imagination was activated like a child's and left me wanting to know more of those who had lived there. Thanks for your help and accommodation Wesley

Wesley and the local property contact, Lisa, were easy to reach and extremely pleasant. The house was furnished comfortably, and we felt immediately at home. Beautiful view from the large living room and master bedroom windows. There were many fragile art pieces on display that could make it difficult for families with young children to relax.
