Long weekend stay

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.

The lakehouse was magnificent! Julie has done a wonderful job creating a nice, low-key space for anyone looking to just escape for some peace and quiet. Direct access to the lake and a couple kayaks, a propane grill, and a TV for when it rains... you don't need anything else. It was our first time to Maine, so we did much more exploring than lakehouse hanging. Next time, it's going to be all lakehouse, all the time.

The rental was far better than the pictures can show. The owner was very attentive and is also the person that takes care of all the decorating, cleaning, and maintenance and it shows. The weather cooperated as well so the added lake frontage with dock came in handy when swimming, floating, and kayaking. Swanville is a nice area with a little grocery store at the end of the lake with anything you may need or forgot to bring. 30-40 minute drives in any direction and you're enjoying the other small towns in the area and what they have to offer.

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.
