At waters edge

Great stay, clean, safe, dog friendly, great location, easy to get everywhere on day trips. Yet just outside of dealing with the crowds. The views of Swan lake are amazing. All you need at the house. The Darby had best lobster rolls also the Hoot restaurant a must go. Would stay again

Best on Swan Lake!

We've stayed on Swan Lake for over 10 years and this home and location can't be beat! The host was responsive and the house was well equipped with anything you may need. Excellent views on the quaintest street on the lake!

Relaxing weekend with friends

House was great and very comfortable, SO many amenities. Stunning views. Easy access to grocery stores nearby. Crowded lake with ample sound from the road across the lake and many motorized vehicles on the lake. We very much enjoyed the kayaks and canoe, and the loons!

Happy Place

This was our second time we stayed at Andrea’s in Swanville. We have rented several homes over the years but this one is our absolute favorite. It’s quiet and relaxing at the lake house house with plenty of indoor and outdoor activities but also a short distance to Belfast for shopping and great restaurants. Andrea was an excellent host who went out of her way to help schedule our stay this year and was always available for questions. The memories we had here will last a lifetime!

Amazing location

Andrea’s house was amazing. My wife said she wanted to stay forever when she first walked in! The view of the lake again….amazing! The house was roomy and clean! We traveled to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The trip was a tad long (about 1 hr to both places), but worth the drive to get away from the hustle and bustle and to enjoy the atmosphere at the house! Andrea was easy to communicate with and to work with! She helped us add another night to our stay! If ever in Maine again I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! John L and family.

Start your Maine Adventure Here!

Andrea's house was in a perfect location for transversing mid coast Maine. Situated at the end of a dirt road, overlooking beautiful Swan Lake, the views were outstanding! There was plenty of room for the whole family, including an expansive deck with many different seating options. Everything you will need for an enjoyable vacation, is at this house, including floaties to soak up the rays while lounging on the lake. Don't worry about the German Shepherd(Bruno)next door, he comes over to play...it's just like having another family member around! Will not hesitate to book this house again, for our next Maine adventure!

Lake living in Maine

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Andrea‘s place. Everything went super smoothly. She greeted us at the house with crumpets, blueberry jam and honey from Maine. Everything was clean and in good order. The kitchen was fully functional. Having the kayaks and canoe were perfect. The lake and the neighborhood the home is in are lovely. Views of the lake from every window on the back of the house are beautiful. Thank you for a great place to stay as we explored Maine.

Time with Friends

We recently spent 4 nights at Heav'nsent and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful location, and though it was about 90 minutes from the entrance to Acadia, it was well worth it. If our agenda had included Camden, Banghor, or Belfast, it would have been even more ideal--we'll leave that for next time. The kitchen is well stocked and allowed us to enjoy making meals together in the evenings. The view is not overstated and was a highlight every morning as we enjoyed a cup of coffee on the deck. Andrea was prompt in her responses and has created a house that feels like home. We will certianly recommend it for friends and family who make trips to the area in the future.

Perfect Friends Reunion!

Beautiful cottage with amazing views and in a great location. Our childhood friend just retired to Swanville, and we got to stay 5 minutes away from her. There was plenty of room for all of us to sleep, and the a/c worked great in the downstairs and the master bedroom. Luckily we brought fans because the weather was hot for September, and we read in another review that there were no ceiling fans. Lake water was clean and refreshing. Kayaking was great! Fire pit is a great amenity. Loons were magical, and we also enjoyed the daily visits from the hummingbirds. Enjoyed Belfast, and had great dinners at the Nautilus, the Front Street Pub, and Darby’s (don’t miss the baked Jarlsburg)! Thank you, Andrea, for the perfect spot! Can’t wait to return!

Wonderful!

Brought family with 3 adults and children 6yr and 9yrs.Perfect for small kids to wade in water. Didn’t catch fish but caught crayfish. Kayaks and canoe in great shape and everyone had a great time. There is a German Shepherd next-door that is playful, but might runoff with your stuff or tear it up. Little ones need to be cautioned not to try and get it back from him. Otherwise, he is good with kids. The home was very well stocked. Air conditioning in one bedroom upstairs. No ceiling fans in bedrooms. Beds and furniture are comfortable. Grill worked good. Plenty of cooking and baking ware. Even big dispenser for water. Ice trays were filled. Just need to bring your own soap and shampoo items. Our dogs did well in the basement or out on a leash. The house is on the shady side of the lake. The other side has a main thru road with traffic noise, so we were happy with that. Overall a great choice rent.

Unplugged lakeside dog-friendly retreat

My friend and I have been staying on lakes in Maine for a few years. I’m from the northern coast of Massachusetts where the biting flies (greenheads) are so intense I have to get away. This year we decided to bring our dogs. It was a perfect relaxing trip. We started every day by going down to the Belfast Rail Trail and putting in about 5 miles to tire the dogs out. We both brought our paddleboards and spent the rest of the day swimming, paddling, lounging, and doing it all again. The kitchen was the best outfitted of anywhere I’ve stayed. The one meal we didn’t cook we brought in from Young’s, which was fantastic and more affordable than at home. The sun bakes in the windows in the afternoon so we quickly learned to pull the shades and put the A/C on 74 to keep it from getting too hot. We only saw glimpses of the dog next door, so he was not an issue at all. Andrea had absolutely thought of and provided everything. While we left the house clean, the check out process was so easy. I’ve stayed other places that required me to deep clean before I left, and I appreciated not having to stress about that. We even had Roku and watched movies at night. Other places I’ve stayed have barely had a working TV. The lake is clean, and there are just a few jetskis during the week, and it is otherwise quite quiet. Great stay, great host, great location. I’d like to go back next week, and next year.

Zeit am See

Wir haben den Blick und die Nähe zum See genossen! Wir waren froh über die Kajas und das Kanu und auch über das Campfire. Das Haus ist gross und hat alles was man braucht. Es ist etwas altmodisch und man merkt dass viele Hunde ihren Urlaub dort verbracht haben

Beautiful relaxing stay

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect spot for a long weekend to rest and relax. The house had everything we needed. Everyday was a treat seeing (and hearing) loons, and even a couple of bald eagles. We will certainly return.

Maine Vacation

Very nice home with frontage on a pretty lake. Beautiful view.Accurate listing. Good sized combination family room kitchen and dining room on main floor with walkout deck along the entire length. Good sized bedrooms. Property was very clean. All needed amenities are available. Acadia is a 70 minute drive to Bar Harbor. Highly recommend Young’s Lobster Depot for lobster.

Maine Vacation

This lovely home is situated on beautiful Swan Lake. This was our first visit to Maine and we were looking for a location where we could make day trips. The view from the house is beautiful. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed. The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this home.

Friends trip to Maine

This is a beautiful home to relax and enjoy the beauty of Swan Lake. We had fun using the canoe, kayaking, grilling out and sitting around the fire pit and seeing the stars! The kitchen is well stocked and clean for having meals at “home” and sitting out on the deck overlooking the lake. We saw loons, geese, eagles and ospreys daily. I feel in love the call of the loons! The 4 of us had a wonderful stay and would love to return some day!
