Location and setting are amazing!Host was responsive and answered questions promptly. Accommodations are simple and basic. Logistics regarding ferry schedule are complicated and require additional expenses.

Such a magical place. Our family loved our time swans island!

My sister, her partner, and I stayed at this property and had a wonderful time. The home itself is beautiful and well appointed. The deep bathtub under the skylight in the bathroom was particularly delightful. The property is also sprawling and beautiful--the dog we brought along had a ball frolicking in the backyard meadow. The closeness of the beach was also a major perk--only a 2 minute walk away! Would definitely recommend this magical place to anyone!

We truly enjoyed the wonderfuk kocation if the Meadiwhouse with beautifuk views allaround it was very foggy and rainy so we took advanrage of the grzat bookselection and games.

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.

Comfortable house with lots of room centrally located. We thank the owners for sharing their house with us. We had a wonderful time.

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!
