  We loved the Swan cottage. The views were stunning. The front looking out to the lake is all glass. You can see the bay from the bedrooms. In the comfortable loft you wake up and see the bay on one side and the lake on the other. At night we fell asleep listening to the waves. Everything was very clean. The kitchen had all the pots and pans, utensils, and plates, cups, etc. that we needed Swan has a nice open space so it was perfect for a main area for our Women's Retreat to meet. The two bedrooms on the main floor have comfortable beds and sliding glass doors that lead right to the deck that overlooks the bay. We really enjoyed the hot tub on the deck. Martha and Scott, our hosts, are wonderful. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back.

  I recently spent a week in this location, and it was easily one of the most relaxing experiences of my entire life. Beautiful sunsets in an area that felt a million miles away from civilization. Scott and Marta were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They even came to help us in the middle of the night as we stalled our boat out in the bay. Their helper Chris was constantly available to take us fishing, clean the hot tub, and check in to make sure we were having an amazing time. Mornings spent in the kayak, afternoons with a margarita in the hot tub, and nights spent playing board games and watching movies on the projector. Time moves at a different pace here, and the week spent in the Swan felt like the entire summer. I will definitely be back, and highly recommend the experience to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway.

  My husband and 3 large dogs stayed at the Swan for a week. We had a great time. Scott and Martha (hosts) are friendly and accomodating. Wine and Cheese for our arrival was a wonderful surprise! The weather was perfect and having great sitting areas both in the front and back side of the house, really allowed us to enjoy the beautiful views. No TV or AC BUT really not an issue since you have access to a huge DVD library and the breeze and night cools the house down just perfectly! Perfect for dog owners...off leash the whole time!

  My wife and I along with four other friends. spent the week here, and I have to say that I was absolutely blown away with the experience. The lake was so amazing to swim around in every day of the seven day experience, the hot tub made for some nice late evening drinking and unwinding after a nice long day of exploring the area around the bay. Kayaking on a lake that is as smooth as glass is certainly one of the best experiences I've ever had ( good, because it was my first time kayaking). Snuggling down after that soak and watching a movie ( they have an absolutely huge amount of them) was icing on an amazing day. If you want a beach vacation "away from it all" This i definitely the place to go

  My wife and I found the Swan to be a little slice of heaven. It was accurately described and clean. The views from the deck and hot tub must be seen to be believed. The sunsets with a western view of the lake are nothing short of spectacular and rival any others I have seen. The house was spacious and well appointed. The girls loved watching movies at night using the projector. There are NONE of your typical distractions on this vacation as car and pedestrian noise are NON existent. It is a short 5 minute boat ride from the dock, but once you are at the Swan you feel like you are a million miles away from civilization which is exactly what my wife and I needed to recharge our batteries. There is a ton of room in the loft which is where the girls slept. There were plenty of other kids for them to play with as well which was a plus. Do not hesitate to rent this beauty. The lack of traffic getting there was a bonus for us as well. Scott and Martha are gracious hosts and their cleaning crew, headed by Chris was very friendly.. My review will not do this place justice.

  Our stay at the Swan Cottage was an amazing experience. We had four generations staying and all enjoyed our time there. Scott & Martha were very pleasant and treated our family exceptionally. Our children enjoyed the treasure hunt Martha sent them on. This truly was one of the most relaxing, enjoyable vacations we have ever taken. My 2 year old granddaughter & I spent the mornings together walking in the lake collecting “treasure rocks”. While the property was very rocky, this was caused by a huge storm that blew through the week before our arrival. The property owners worked hard to clean up as much as possible. The rocks actually became a creative outlet for our granddaughters. They colored them for souvenirs to take home. Boat rides, nightly fires, fireworks, playing in the sand, walks along the lake side, game nights with our “neighbors”, hot tub time and spectacular sunsets filled our days. We even picked a mini-series DVD from Martha’s large collection and spent an hour each night watching it on “large screen”. The kids loved it! We will definitely be back again. Thank you Scott & Martha for sharing your bit of Heaven with us.

  Stayed here for a week with another family. It was not quite as described..........Difficult for the kids to swim - the bay side was really mucky and the lake side was very rocky......the property itself was very rocky and difficult to navigate in general. A lot of the screens were either holey or missing, and cobwebs littered the corners or all the rooms. The owners have three dogs that visited and defecated on our property frequently and also got into our garbage. It's nice if you're looking for a glorified camp, but it's not much more than that. If you go into town I would definitely recommend Abe's Waterfront. The food was very good and Abe was very accomodating.

  We stayed at the Swan cottage owned by Scott and Martha and had a great time. We especially enjoyed the use of the 14ft motor boat for fishing , which was in good working order, and the hot tub on the lake side. It was fantastic listening to the waves at night in the hot tub that was clean and well maintained .During the day sitting in the tub and watching the American Bald Eagles was unbelievable too. The owners were available to help with any requests for the property, and provided a great library of movies to watch at night with a projection system and popcorn. Miss Martha provided the kids with a fun treasure hunt complete with a map and a prize that my son enjoyed.. Being able to bring my Golden Retriever was fun for us and she was exhausted at the end of the week--in a good way! We did not take advantage of the seaplane ride but it did look like fun also. Where else can you go and get a free seaplane ride with your rental? Please note , however, that the property contains drop down stairs to the loft and may not be suitable for older people, or renters with young children .(although there are two bedrooms downstairs for very young kids. The other rentals (The Loon or The Lure) have a spiral staircase or regular stairs if that is a concern to you. We did not use the loft for that reason. Overall the rental was as pictured, if not a bit shabby and the interior will need to be painted soon or scrubbed really well as previous renters were not kind to the walls when they killed bugs/spiders-- that are typical to beach rentals. Some screens needed attention as well. But Scott and Martha are conscientious owners who are trying hard to make a great experience for everyone. The house is on a great piece of property and we came to enjoy the lake, the bay and the fishing. The hot tub, Bald eagles, canoe, kayak, and pedal boats were great extras. The fantastic breezes and sunsets could not be beat. Overall we had an awesome experience and would not hesitate to rent from Scott and Martha again. They were friendly hosts who strived to make your week comfortable and enjoyable.

  Absolutely amazing getaway for all ages! My wife and I spent a week at the Swan cottage and loved every minute! From the moment we arrived we were happily greeted by Scott (Owner) at the marina who helped assist us in loading up our luggage onto a boat to be transported out to the cottage. The cottage itself was perfect, very well maintained with all the modern amenities one would need, the front faces the Bay while the back faces the lake. We felt very comfortable from the first moment we arrived, once inside the cottage we found some personal touches provided; such as delicious aged cheese, crackers, popcorn (for those movie nights!) and great tasting wine! It is no stretch of the imagination to say this getaway spot is magical, the cottage deck wraps around the back and side with another deck right outside the master bedrooms. Each morning we would watch the sunrise over the bay and the sunset over the lake at night and what a sight it was! Just imagine sitting in a hot-tub, glass of wine in hand overlooking a majestic sunset, in the final moments of twilight the lighthouse in the distance fades to a beautiful glow! Swans and brilliant white ducks circle the bay edge day and night; a perfect natural addition to the ambience. Outdoor activities we enjoyed the most… Fishing… Fishing... and more Fishing, just traveling around the bay by boat was relaxing soaking up the sun for a nice tan, enjoying the breeze from the lake and of course pulling in lots of bass! The surrounding town offers dinning, craft shops and great local farm stores offering fresh produce, pies and all sorts of nifty things! We will absolutely be returning, we didn’t want to leave!
