About this property
Your own private Island Retreat
Your very own private island with 3 separate buildings. The main cabin sits on the southeastern side of the 2 acre lot and features an open concept 600 square feet of living space including 4 full size beds, a full kitchen with island, a living room, screened in porch, and 1/2 bathroom and all with 360 degree water views. For those of you that enjoy the comforts of home don't worry. The main building is fully protected from the elements. The walls are insulated and the building has heat and air-condition. And of course if you need to work or stream a movie we also have the internet. The main building also has an enclosed outdoor shower. Heading west out from the main cabin about 150' feet away and across the boardwalk you will 1st run into comfy cove cabin. You will find an open concept 175 square foot cabin with a queen size bed , a mini fridge, plenty of storage for your clothes and items along with some comfy chairs to drink your morning coffee while looking out into the lake along with its own picnic table.
Continue to the rear of the property over the next boardwalk and passing a brand new outhouse with a composting toilet you will come along kids cabin at the top of the hill you will find Another open concept 175 square foot space also with 365 degree water views and an amazing front porch. This space has two sets of bunk beds with fulls on bottom and twins on top and water views from every bed. Along with hammock swings, front deck with chairs, a fire pit, and swings. There are two 8' wood picnic tables that can seat up to 10 people each. Swains lake is approximately 250 acres and has a public boat launch if you want to bring your own boat. While staying you will have access to a 14' Jon boat which will get you back and forth to the mainland were their is parking for up to 4 vehicles, several kids kayaks, and a few adult kayaks and paddle boards are on-site for your enjoyment. The kitchen is stocked with most everything you need to cook along with a full size propane grill outside.
The screened in front porch with its views is most likely the spot you will speed most of your time when your not outside or sleeping. An outdoor shower is available at the main cabin with a surround
Note that this property is on an island. It is not accessible via road or by foot. It does require traveling on a boat to get to and from the property. This requires getting in and out of a boat and being on the water and on and off a dock. The land has well cleared paths but keep in mind this is a wooded lot with roots, rocks, and some hills and terrain. There is no portable water on the island but there is filtered lake water that can be used to wash hands, do dishes, and take a shower. If you want drinking water please bring that along with you. There is a clothes line to dry your swimsuits and towels and also a small electric dryer if need be.
Linens are not included so please pack your own sheets. Blankets and pillows are provided.
