Great 80th birthday celebration!
We celebrated the 80th birthday of a family member and couldn’t have picked a better place to bring the family together. The home is very comfortable and you can’t beat the setting! We will definitely be back!

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Nilson

Host profile image
I grew up in Bloomfield CT and currently live in North Stonington, CT. I went to school at Quinnipiac University, and after a 35-year career in the pharmaceutical industry, I am retired. We have been vacationing or visiting Swan Lake for years now and absolutely love this hidden gem of a lake. We decided to try the cottage rental business so that we can share the beauty and peacefulness of the surroundings. I love the simple life.

Why they chose this property

This property is my dream come true as I have always wanted a place on a lake. When we were up there last year I noticed this home for sale and went to take a look with my mom and our good friend who also rents on the lake. As my husband likes to tell our friends "I left her unsupervised for a little while and she comes back with a house". What is life if you can't achieve your dreams. This is God's gift with the beautiful surroundings, abundant wildlife, crystal clear lake water, fishing, the sounds of Loons, friendly neighbors. It's paradise and a great way to get away from it all.
Just couldn't help wanting to be a part of a lake community. Besides, Maine is such a beautiful state and camping vacations as a child have made a lasting impression.

What makes this property unique

Our home has an expansive wrap around deck, which is so relaxing to sit out on. The numerous picture windows in the bedrooms and living room are unbelievable and there's nothing like waking up in the morning to see such a lovely view of the lake. It's almost like you're floating on the water.
