Perfect Lake House Experience!

The beautifully maintained home was perfect for our family vacation. The cedar closets, comfortable beds and great views of the sunsets were incredible. We have been staying on Swan Lake for over 20 years and this is our favorite. Nothing is better than listening to the Loons on the lake.

Was very clean. We unfortunately didn’t have good weather, but was able to enjoy some downtime with tv, puzzles, and games. Short trip into Belfast to shop. The only negative was not having a fire pit outside.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Morse

Host profile image
I love Maine, especially in the summertime and have owned property on the lake for over 40 years. As a child, I couldn't wait for summer, to spend the summer at Swan Lake, with my family. Swan Lake is a great location for water activities and I especially enjoy watching for eagles, loons and the sunsets are just gorgeous!

Why they chose this property

This comfortable 4 season home is equipped to make your time at the lake a relaxing get away, whether you spend time outside on the lawn or patio, on the shore closer to the water, paddling a kayak, or inside enjoying the view of the lake. There is a grocery store and gas station less than two miles away, so you will be able to easily shop for groceries.
