Family-friendly vacation rentals in Swans Island

A beautiful rustic cabin in an amazing spot. Lori is a great host and is always near in her farmhouse to communicate and get you what you need. Appleton is not far from Camden / Rockland but has that rustic getaway feel. The option of adding a wonderful soak in the hot tub, wood fired sauna, massage and breakfast are available as well. I’ll be back next year! Thank you for everything, Lori!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay at Latham blueberry farm. Doug and Brenda were incredibly helpful and friendly- they introduced us to the house and farm as soon as we checked in and were always available if needed. The beds were comfy, the kitchenette stocked, and the grounds were gorgeous. Their beautiful 1826 farm house was an authentic experience of staying on a farm- our kids loved feeding the animals (especially Ernie the pig and Moses the horse); picking fresh blueberries; and swimming and paddleboating in the private pond. Our hosts had great recommendations for local outings, and we loved chatting with them and playing with their puppy Jackie. Our family made lifetime memories.

We loved our time at Dwayne and Patti’s place! It definitely felt like a home rather than a hotel, which is exactly what we want when we book an Airbnb over a hotel. The musical instruments and hot tub were a hit with our group :) The location is amazing, close to both Bar Harbor (Acadia) and Bangor. We got to go to a concert and hiking during our stay, and we loved returning to our home base. I can’t want to be back!!

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

This place is so lovely and peaceful. We loved the water view from the loft and roaming the beach. It is a great spot.

What an awesome place to stay! Lori was incredibly gracious and accommodating with out late arrival. The cabin towards the back of the property was so cozy. Fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

The most cozy of Airbnb I’ve stayed in the Northeast. Felt right at home and didn’t realize how close to town we were. Will be returning next season!

Beautiful home with a great view, deer and turkeys in the front yard. Very quiet and peaceful. The home is well equipped and spacious.

Blackberry Cottage is so cozy and quaint. Suzanne is a fantastic hostess and is quick to respond if needed. The cabin is on property with other cabins, but this one feels secluded so you feel you are in a private location. The cabin was clean and the kitchen had all of the amenities we needed for our stay. We stopped and picked up groceries on the way in so we could cooks a few meals during our stay. The only suggestion I would make is to provide some sort of solid covering for the bathroom window apart from the lace curtain. There are woods next to the bathroom, but it would be more comfortable when showering at night if we had the option to cover the window with a shade or solid curtain.

Great stay for our family of 5 adults and 3 toddlers! Lots to do and great proximity to Acadia/Bar Harbor. House was well supplied with clear instructions. Brady also connected with us before the stay and kept in touch for anything that came up as a concern. Thank you!

We are a family of five with three teens. The space was perfect for us to all hang out together and play a board game at the dining table, as well as spread out and have plenty of down time in our own rooms. I thought it was a nice touch that the front door was open and the keys were in the kitchen. Great to have bathrooms in each of the rooms. When we were planning our trip, we weren't 100 percent sure if our pet care person was going to be available, and Sarah was very responsive and flexible with us asking if we could add our dogs at the last minute. We didn't need to bring them, but it was so helpful to know that we could. We bot a huge box of pastries from Clark Point Cafe, and we would have gone back and sat down for a full breakfast if they had been open on our second morning. I guess that gives us an excuse to come back! The back yard view is private and beautiful. So much to like about our stay. Hard to fit it all in here. Thanks to Sarah and her family for everything.

Cute little cabin in the woods!! Super clean, check in was very easy. Nichole was very easy to communicate with. The cabin was perfect for a quick weekend. We would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at Rich and Julie's Beals cottage. The space looks exactly like the photos and had everything we needed. The design and decor were impressive and unique. The boat was a fun addition. One evening we enjoyed our Jonesport pizza and beer on the deck while watching the harbor. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfast each morning. We enjoyed a good night's sleep in the comfortable bed and the shower was powerful and refreshing. Although it may seem there is not a lot to do in the area, Rich, the host, will prove that wrong. He has meticulously prepared 4 binders worth of itineraries and highlights of the area. We enjoyed the "Dock Walk" around Beals prepared by Rich. Seaduck Point was a great trail with the dogs. Rich was super supportive when a rainy day canceled our puffin cruise. Rich was ready with suggestions of things to do and extremely supportive. Don't miss The Milkhouse Cafe in Machias. Great coffee and pastries. Highly recommend the cottage.

This was a perfect location for hiking Acadia! The cabin had everything we needed and felt very private and comfortable. We would definitely book again if we find ourselves back in the area.

My husband and I stayed here with our dogs and loved it! The cottage was quaint and lovely …. And the location is perfect! Amanda was so kind and responsive! We will definitely be back when in Camden again 🌸🌲🌊

As our last stay everything was very accommodating and comfortable. Great music, books, art and an expansive beautiful landscape. The stars at night are beyond amazing. Highly recommended.

This place is absolutely amazing. It was larger than expected. It looked smaller in the pictures. Everything in the apartment was squeaky clean and we had every single thing we needed, from pots and pans to board games. Great ocean view from the porch, the living room and from one of the bedrooms. I loved seeing the boats pass by. So peaceful! I stayed there with my elderly mom, my teenage daughter and her friend for 4 days. There was so much to do! We enjoyed both the outdoor and the indoor pool. The kids took advantage of the Health Club by playing ping pong, badminton and going to the video game room. They also spent several hours playing chess in a very nice room near the lounge area that had a gorgeous ocean view. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant in the resort and were impressed by the amazing view. Great service. We also enjoyed the long walk to the lighthouse right next to the resort, and loved going to Camden, such a charming little town, 10 minutes away. The hostess, Laurie, was very accommodating, super nice, and communicated with me frequently, making sure I had all the answers I needed. I would definitely go back there! Glad to have made such wonderful memories! We didn't want to leave!

Cannot imagine a better spot to relax with our family. A lucky spot for the owners and luckier for us that they share the rental with strangers.

Valerie's home was clean and in a quiet neighborhood peaceful stay

My husband and I, and our two pups had a fantastic time in the Carriage House for a week. Part of a breathtaking private/secret compound on the water…with the most incredible private tidal pool. The place is so authentic, which is what we love about staying in ME when we can escape. We were so blessed to find Margaret’s place last minute. Margaret’s mother, Sally, and her husband were in the main Kate’s house. So so sweet they were to us and our girls. A dog paradise. We are foodies. Plenty of good restaurants around - just a few minutes to the adorable village of Stonington. Around the corner is one of the best restaurants in the country - Aragosta. We can’t wait to return…hopefully, in the Fall. A trip we will always remember. Thank you, Margaret & Family.

Aimee was wonderful to deal with. Her place was absolutely beautiful. we definitely picked the right place. the sunrises were so awesome. Rockland was a gorgeous little town.

We found the home clean and welcoming. There was plenty of room for all of us and we enjoyed the back deck very much. The kitchen was well equipped and although we did not do any cooking, if we had, everything was there for us. We really liked how private the home was. Had the weather been warmer we definitely would have checked out the pool. It is also very close to Thomaston, Rockland and Owls Head. So much to do in this area. We would recommend this home to anyone who wants a quiet retreat in Maine that is close to the coast.

Great unit on the golf. Course with Ocean views out to the islands. Generally peaceful, save for the morning mowing of the golf course. Great place to base to see all of the mid-coast and the Samoset hotel amenities that are available to you are first class

My husband and I loved our stay at the Shore Cottage! The cottage was nicely laid out and very clean. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The view from the cottage is amazing. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!
