Such a nostalgic, comforting and panoramic setting. Black Swan makes me so happy!
This is, I believe, my ninth time at the Black Swan, and since Stonington is my home town, having a wonderful place to stay brings back so many fond memories.
The spaciousness is perfect for family gatherings with the living room and dining area all open to the majestic view of Penobscot Bay. There are many special amenities, also, that make for easy housekeeping during our week’s stay.

8 day stay, Labor Day week
The photos for the house don’t do it justice. It is expansive and comfortable and the south-facing water view is unbeatable! We enjoyed our family of four (two adult daughters) with plenty of room and comfortable furniture to spread out. It’s very solid, clean, and well-appointed. The active lobster/fishing dock and yard below is wonderful to watch and the.changing light is spectacular. The bedrooms are on the north side of the house, so you don’t hear the lobster boats underway starting at 3;30am like you do from other Stonington houses. Friendly, welcoming nfo about the owners and family history make you feel like a guest, not a renter. A great place to stay!

Beautiful Stay w/ Lovely Views Near Town
My sister and I had a great stay at the Black Swan! It was convenient to wake up and be able to pop into town for a coffee or breakfast and head back to the spot for the spectacular views. The place had everything we needed. Would stay again!

The Black Swan—- Comfort, cleanliness, walking distance to town, and glorious views of Penobscot Bay all at my fingertips.
.The Black Swan offers me so much as it has become “my home away from home.” Having grown up in Stonington, the ability to walk downtown, entertain family members in the home’s spaciousness and view a working waterfront on Penobscot Bay is better than a five star hotel.
Clearly the owners take pride in providing comfort for clients. For eight years, during my week’s stay, there is always something new added to the Black Swan’s decor which adds to its charm. Recently a new roof, window blinds and fresh deck paint were evident that this home is truly cared for.
Many amenities are provided and one just needs to stock the refrigerator as all appliances work well, and the furniture is tastefully arranged for entertaining, if one wishes to do so.
The deck furniture beckons one to grab a book among those on the shelves or just daydream while viewing the islands in the bay.
The open-ness of the kitchen, dining room and living room has been ideal for our family pot-luck dinners. This home clearly meets all of my needs.

CANCELLATION POLICY All cancellations must be in writing (email is acceptable) and received by the Agent. Cancellations may only be made between the date that a reservation deposit is received and a date determined to be 45 days prior to the Guests’ scheduled arrival date. Cancellations within 45 days of arrival will not result in a refund in whole or part of rental funds received. If a cancellation is made prior to 45 days of arrival, the Agent shall make a good-faith effort to re-rent the property at the published rate for the reserved rental term. No refund of rents paid will be made until the cancelled period is re-rented and confirmed. If the cancelled period is re-rented, any rent and taxes paid will be refunded less a $100 administrative fee. If the new rental amount is less than the published rate, any difference in rental rate will be deducted from the rental returned to the tenant. If the unit is not re-rented, all rental funds paid, processing fees and taxes shall be forfeited as damages. This cancellation policy is strictly followed. Guests are encouraged to purchase travel insurance for all vacations to cover many situations that may arise which might cause one to cancel vacation plans. Life happens and we don’t want you to lose your deposit. There are many independent insurance providers available to tenants. I understand that the insurance company holds this policy and that The Island Agency does not determine eligibility of claims.
