Swan's View

A peaceful oceanfront home on Swan’s Island, just a short ferry from Acadia & Bar Harbor. Sleeps 10 with sweeping water views, a Yamaha piano for creatives, cozy fire pit, and a fully equipped kitchen. Perfect for families, friends, creative retreats or getaways — year-round. Quick note: While Acadia is accessible via the ferry, we do not recommend Swan’s Island as a “home base” for doing multiple days at the park as the last ferry runs at ~5pm. But it is a beautiful place to start or end!
