About this house rental

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!

This is the perfect get-away-from-it-all. It is very private. There are different spaces for different activities or family members. The views from the cabin as well as the decks are wonderful- specially sunsets. We enjoyed star gazing from the dock, coffee on the deck and nights next to the fire pit on the beach. Loons, hummingbirds and an eagle were all part of our adventure too. The water is warm and with the nice beach, you just walk right in. The dock can easily fit chairs and so people can be in sun or shade all day. The cub house is super cozy. Everything is exactly as described. Josh was fantastic with getting back to us about anything we asked. We didn't do as many area activities as we thought we would because staying at the house was so nice- and that was without great weather. We have Verizon and had spotty cell service- best to download maps before leaving the house. Even at the house, there were just 2 bars. Highly recommend this slice of heaven.

Echoing past reviews here to say that this a lovely vacation spot! The house is a classic Maine "camp"--a bit rustic with somewhat dated furnishings--but it is very clean, perfectly equipped (think towels, kitchen supplies, etc) and fully functional. And the lake views and access are truly unparalleled. It is remarkably quiet and peaceful with a few boats on the lake but not a ton (even on a beautiful summer weekend) and the views are expansive from every angle (so many interior windows looking out over the water, the deck, the beach, the dock--it's all gorgeous!). The lake water itself was such a pleasant surprise. It's clean, clear, and a comfortable temperature--refreshing but not freezing in the least. It seemed like it was about 4 feet deep at the end of the dock which was deep enough for our kids to jump in and play. And also, the bottom of the lake is comfortable on the feet with a sandy and rocky floor. It's not mucky at all which can be the case with some lakes/ponds. We had a blast here with our kids, ages 5-11. Our kids swam, snorkeled, skipped rocks, and made up lake games. Inside we played a ton of board games, did puzzles, read, and watched movies. We spent a pleasant afternoon strolling Belfast (lobster rolls at Youngs were *tremendous*) and also went to Camden for a hike (Mount Battie--wonderful views, 3 mile round trip, perfect for our family) and some perusing the town shops. A really peaceful spot that shimmers with summery goodness from every angle!

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!

Perfect lakeside Maine vacation. Would love to come back every summer. Host was great and very easy to work with. House felt like home the moment we arrived. The beds were all very comfortable and everyone was very well rested every day. 10 out of 10 for sure.

Two families, one house and one "cub cabin." This was perfect for 7 people - 3 kids and 4 adults. There's plenty of sleeping space for everyone. I formerly stayed in the cub cabin, but this time, the master bedroom upstairs. It was delightful! There's plenty of room to spread out and have your own space. This house is not only beautiful from the lake, but comfortable and spacious enough for our group. We enjoyed meals together, cooked in the well-supplied kitchen. The sun room is my personal favorite room, where you can just look for eagles/do your puzzle/relax and read/have a dance party, etc. The kids loved the dock. The lake is deep enough to jump into and not get full of algae, like another lake we tried a couple of years ago. Though we had some weather and waves/wind a few days, we found other stuff to do, such as going into Belfast and getting ice cream, shopping, and checking out the arts festival. When the weather was good, we kayaked/fished/sunned on the little beach. It was quiet most of the time - not overloaded with loud lake traffic. Peace and quiet - just what we needed. I was able to finally read a book - a win for me!! Thanks, Poolers!

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.

I grew up in Maine but moved away years ago and had family members who had not had the "Maine experience". I could not have chosen a better place for that to happen. Spacious cabin, very well stocked with everything you need for cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. The extra "Cub Cabin" was provided the perfect privacy for my son and his wife who had a newborn. The beautiful sunsets to the sound of the loons was memorable. Well stocked grocery store at the end of the lake and supermarket and restaurants within 15 min drive. I e-mailed our host a couple questions during the stay and Josh replied within minutes. Would definitely do it again.

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!
