The Swan River House

Wonderful accommodations and exactly as described on line. Just a beautiful spot on the river!

Great property for a larger family or group of friends with plenty of beds and places for lounging and eating. The back deck is a great hang out spot and the beds were all very comfortable. We had a few hiccups throughout our stay - a fire alarm was discovered inside of a wall after it had been going off for a few hours, a plumber how to come out for a leak from the upstairs bathroom into the kitchen, and the lamp on the deck appeared to be broken/unusable. That being said, the host was very responsive and addressed the issues promptly. In general, the house could use a little love/updating, but my family and I had a great time here.

I will say that Jim, the owner and property manager, was very responsive when there were concerns. There were several and some just couldn't be dealt with immediately, but he did his best. My 1st piece of advice for renters would be to look past the outside of the house when you pull up because it is not pretty. The inside is spacious and has plenty of towels to get you through the week. The updated kitchen is very pretty, albeit disorganized. The dining room table does not have a light over it and that was inconvenient when the adults wanted to eat later in the evening. Not major but the placement of light fixtures was just weird. The deck was amazing both in the daytime and evening. The fire pit added so much ambiance and some of us used the hot tub. The outdoor shower was spacious and lovely too. I was taken back by the fact that there were still dried out leaves from last Fall and Winter around the edges of the deck though. Generally htere was a lack of attention to detail at this house. I will just list some other observations that I have already shared with Jim: -leaky washing machine -lack of dressers in some bedrooms -front storm door slams loudly but doesn't latch shut -refrigerator and dishwasher are very poor quality; no ice maker or water dispenser, dishwasher racks did not slide in and out well The owner obviously put a lot of money into this house but it appears that some of the work was done in a rushed and low quality manner. The website photos were very nicely staged. They really draw you in. I saw that this house was voted one of the best rentals for bachelor and bachelorette parties and can see where that might be true. For a family who has worked very hard for many years to spend that kind of money on a nice vacation in Cape Cod (and we have had 47 of them!) the Swan River House fell a bit short.

Went as a bachelorette group- such a great house for entertaining but spreading out for sleep and quiet time. Plenty of bathrooms and very clean. Easy communication with owner. This has nothing to do with the homeowner but be sure to close your mirrors on your car because the black and red bird is relentless with its reflection!!

4 bedrooms, roomy outdoor space, 2 living room areas, great location, and attentive host!

The Swan River House was exactly as described and made for an excellent family getaway on the Cape. The home comfortably accommodated our group of 10 (five adults and five kids aged 10-17), with plenty of bedroom space. The deck was a perfect gathering spot for meals, and the space heater and fire pit added a cozy touch. The backyard, which included a dock, was ideal for our dogs. Although the hot tub water wasn’t in great condition upon arrival due to the previous guests, the issue was promptly addressed. The kitchen was well-equipped for all our meal preparations, and the pool table and foosball games were a delightful bonus.

We enjoyed our stay at the Swan River House. We loved hanging out on the deck with the hot tub.

We loved our week at Swan River house. The house was very clean, well stocked and a lot of fun for all ages. We were super happy with communication - there was some planks missing at the end of the dock which we communicated to the property manger which made us nervous given we had kids and they fixed them immediately. We will be returning!

The Swan River house was the perfect place for the 10 of us girls to stay for our Memorial Day weekend trip!

No complaints and would recommend the bed room images are a little confusing but in person it wasn’t bad. There is a double sofa bed that is its own room that’s listed as a 2 twin size beds and a sofa couch in the master bed room. That’s what gave me a little hard time understanding the photos, but outside of that lovely stay hot tub works great and have no complaints.
