About this property

Swan Lake Lakehouse with Bunkhouse and Private Sand Beach

Beautiful lakefront home only steps from your own private sandy beach that faces west, providing some of the most stunning sunsets you'll find!! Home has cathedral ceilings in the living room/dinning room area with exposed timber. Well maintained and fully equipped lakeside house with a distinct "Camp" feel. Glassed in sun room with direct deck access that looks straight at the lake, simply beautiful views anytime of the day or night. Loft above the sun room makes for a unique sleeping experience for kids or a couple. There is a separate bunk house beside the main house with its own bedroom and bathroom, included in the rental. The beach is private and secluded from the neighbors with a canoe and twin kayak use included with the rental as well, along with a dock if you bring a boat (some lifejackets provided but we recommend you bring your own to ensure proper fit). Relax and take in the views from the deck as you grill, or enjoy the fire pit on the beach with your feet in the sand. Kick back and listen to the loons call back and forth almost every night. There are several Eagles at the lake as well and they are seen frequently from the lake house. Truly a serene environment to melt away any worries of the outside world. Easily houses 2 average size families if you want to share the home with friends. Grocery store with most everything you would need is only 3 miles down the road.
House is fully stocked with everything you'll need, has AC for those hot summer nights, and heated for cool spring or fall evenings. Only 10 miles to the coast for Seafood as fresh as it gets, or just about an hour to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Several golf courses within 30 min as well.

We are flexible as far as payments are concerned. Currently set up for 1 payment in total at time of booking, but we can separate out payments into 2 or 3 installments if needed. Please let me know when you send a booking request if you would like to separate into 2 or 3 payments, and I will make the adjustment when I send it back to you. You will not be charged until I accept and send the changes back to you.

Please note that there is NO WIFI at the lakehouse. Cell service is good if you need to hotspot, but if you are working while at the lakehouse, you are doing it all wrong!

Very nice week. Very peaceful, relaxing with many things to do. I strongly recommend going to Cadillac Mountain to see the sunrise for future guests. Close proximity to Belfast and Camden, our favorite towns.

Just as amazing the second time!
Nothing has changed with my review since our first stay 2 years ago. This place is amazing! The view is incredible, every sunset is the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen. The house has everything a family could need. It’s well maintained and cozy but not so small that it feels cramped when many people are around. Josh is a fantastic owner and will do everything he can to make the stay enjoyable for everyone. I look forward to staying here again!

Just right
The Swam Lake Lakehouse fit our needs very well. Quiet, plenty of space, lots of windows to maximize the lakefront location, and the opportunity to go fishing or canoeing just a few steps out the back door. We made several trips to Acadia, an easy drive from the house. Also enjoyed the town of Belfast. Josh always communicated promptly—thanks, Josh!

Beautiful lake and cabin!!
Everything was great about this property. The cabin is spacious, with tons of room to sleep and spread out. The Cub Cabin offers a little privacy and was very cozy. The main cabin has everything you need for your stay. The lake is crystal clear and the sunset views are gorgeous. I’d highly recommend staying at this property.

Swan Lake Getaway
Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Swan Lake, a perfect location for exploring to Acadia, the Coast, and charming Maine communities. Also went kayaking, gazed at stars, and hiked local trails. The house was perfect for us and all was in great condition. Recommend this place for your family too!

Week of June 9th
From the beginning Josh was great to communicate with. We had a blast at his home. The outside area is a great place to relax. You can also kayak or canoe and get some water sports in. My kids learned to skip rocks here, my sons top score was 7 skips. I can’t say enough good things about this home. Hopefully we will be back in the near future.

This was the most relaxing vacation we have ever been on. We completely disconnected from all electronics and were able to just sit and watch the water views and the loons all day long. The rustic cottage was exactly what we needed.

This house was everything we needed for our family get together. Plenty of space for all of us. The cub cabin is the perfect addition. Everything was clean and exactly how it should have been. Josh was really great at communication. Would definitely come again if we come back to Maine.

Everything a Maine Camp Should Be
This was the perfect spot! The location on the lake was perfect for viewing sunsets and stargazing. The huge wall of windows facing the lake make you feel like you're right on the water (and the A/C unit combats the heat from the afternoon sun well). Although there are neighbors on either side, the camp felt like a private retreat thanks to the trees and rocks on either side. It was the perfect setting for a gathering of family. We're grateful for having found this spot!

If you are looking for a lakeside retreat look no further. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. Every night we had stunning sunsets. The owner was very responsive. Great Welcome basket. The “Josh” wine was a nice touch. We will definitely be back Thank you Pooler family

We had such a great time! Little cold this time of year to be jumping in the lake but the dogs didn’t mind at all! Everyday they couldn’t wait to jump in! Cabin and cub house were perfect for all 3 generations. Fire pit and sunsets were amazing!!

Life’s a beach!
Thank you Josh, My husband and I with our two standard poodles enjoyed the property!! Wonderful place with all the amenities. Large beach area with shallow water for the little one to play. It is a nice private area for the dogs to be outside and not bother other homes near by. The gradual incline on the loon road made for a twice daily walk to keep in shape and occupy the dogs!

About the host

Hosted by Josh Pooler

Host profile image
Hello! We are Josh and Bethany. We are originally from Maine and both grew up close to Swan Lake, and have most of our family and many friends still in the area and on the lake. We previously owned a different house on Swan Lake and lived there for almost 10 years. The lake itself and the people that live here are second to none. We moved away in 2018 due to other circumstances, but Swan Lake will always be "home" to us. We are extremely excited to own a piece of it once again. Its a beautiful property and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!!

Why they chose this property

Come stay with us once..... you will want to come back!!

What makes this property unique

There are not many places on the lake that have a quiet and secluded beach such as ours. Points come out on either side of the beach to create its own private cove. The house itself being so close to the waters edge, with the glassed in front make for views and sunsets that you will never forget. Its truly pristine.
