Family-friendly vacation rentals in Swans Island

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.

Our family of 10 (and 5 pups) were welcomed aboard Bonny’s maritime treasure of sophisticated comfort while attending a family wedding in nearby Rockland. Grand furnishings throughout the home were complemented by down-filled pillows, personal photos of family fun, tasteful memorabilia, and nautical accessories, each hand-selected and impeccably placed. The spacious, oversized bedrooms and bathrooms were appointed for every possible need. The home’s surrounding expansive landscape was ideal for roaming of pups and their humans alike, while board game selections inside made for great late-night family debate. A General Store is located nearby for essentials, while a 20-minute drive to downtown Camden offered waterfront wine bars, breweries, delis, and fine dining restaurants among art galleries, outfitters, and boutiques. The beautiful coastal Maine drive presented several renowned lobster shack options as well. While over much too soon, we enjoyed every second of our Lincolnville stay.

Our 2nd stay with Dwayne and Pati, it never disappoints. Private home, beautiful surroundings.

One of the very best places we’ve stayed. Erica’s place was charming and warm. The easiest check-in I’ve ever had, plenty of suggestions about things to do and places to eat nearby, and everything you could possibly need in the cabin. We loved everything about it and would choose this place again any time we got the chance. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Our family had a great time at Fern Way! We had 5 teen/young adults and 3 older adults in our group. The house is conveniently located close to Long Pond for swimming and boating, and within easy driving distance of Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The kitchen is very nicely equipped with every kind of cooking utensil and pan you can imagine. The house is attractive and comfortably furnished. We’re so happy we planned our vacation there!

We had a very relaxing vacation. Verona Island is convenient for day trips to a number of attractions like Acadia, Camden and even Monhegan Island. Even when the weather was bad there was plenty of table space for puzzling, Bananagrams and Scrabble. The house was comfortable with views of the Penobscot River.

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

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.

This cabin is in a perfect location with water views out every window. It felt very homey and relaxing. The beds were comfy and linens soft. We took advantage of the tandem kayak and traveled around Burying Island. There were loons, seals and bald eagles! We also enjoyed the double Adirondack chairs/table by the shore for amazing sunsets.

Becka did a great job communicating details and responding to questions. We spent most of our time at Acadia National Park, but it was wonderful when we were there. It was a peaceful nature location and everything was just like she described. We enjoyed the extras for breakfast and also her dog Cayenne.

Beautiful place! Great view of the lake and quiet location driving distance to Acadia.

This was a very clean and comfy farm house to stay in! Lots of amenities and extras. Natalia was very communicative and responsive, looking forward to returning again. Loved the fresh eggs for breakfast

Great spot right on the lake! Very quiet and beautiful, it felt like we were the only ones on the lake. Perfect little camp to explore the area, it had everything we needed. The warm shower was perfect and much needed after primitive camping for a few days. The camper was super cozy, too. Would gladly visit again!

We HiGHLY recommend Katy’s Seaside Cottage. It is a cozy, bright home away from home. Great location for hiking, nature, and ocean views. You can see the ocean from the property! I’m a sensitive sleeper and it was super quiet at night for sleeping and quiet during the day. Great kitchen full of everything you need to cook at home. Strong WiFi. I taught an online class no problem. Would definitely visit 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.

Rockland, June 2025 The house was spacious and comfortable. The house is well stocked and clean. Rockland is a nice area that we plan to visit again.

Three girlfriends and I stayed at Hillside for a week. The setting and location were absolutely beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful and I loved walking the trail. The house was roomy and comfortable. We highly recommend!!

This was one of our favorite Airbnb's we have stayed at over the years. Great spot located in the middle of some great Coastal Maine Towns. The Deck overlooking the ocean was a nice treat to wake up to and have morning coffee. Perfect spot for families, and dog friendly.
