Swans Island Vacations from $760

We could not have been happier with our recent 3-day stay at the HomePort Inn in Searsport, Maine. We knew that this was a good location for what we wanted to do... Exploratory trips to places like Camden and Castine. But what we were not prepared for, especially for the price quoted, was the luxury of the rooms and the high quality of the entire facility. Innkeepers Allison and Arno are lovely. The downstairs tavern was a perfect place for dinner one night, as well as a cocktail. This is a lovely old sea captain's mansion with high ceilings and beautiful appointments. Lots of public rooms downstairs, including a billiard table and a kind of game room library. Breakfast was great and offered on a long, lovely glassed-in porch with a view out too beautiful garden with flowering bushes and shrubs. The ocean is a short walk down a quiet side street. A walk of several blocks brings you into the downtown which has a couple of very good restaurants. Honestly we could have hung out here and never left the property, but we had lots to do and see. We hope to come back. We cannot recommend this place more highly.

The Lucky Stone Retreat was pristine and had spectacular views. Location was nice also as its not in a high traffic/touristy area. It was quite relaxing. We loved our time at this property.

Elsa's is a wonderful place to stay if you are traveling to Prospect Harbor. It is a quaint building with beautiful rooms. But what made our stay spectacular was Gail. She is absolutely amazing. She gave us lots of great ideas about sites to see during our visit. She makes delicious breakfasts. And she's just so much fun to talk to. We wanted to bring her home with us! We will definitely come back for another stay as soon as possible.

Place was as described. It was clean and quiet and had a great breakfast. Pool was refreshing.

The property was very clean; inside our room and around the property. Everything looked as is from the pictures. For what we paid, we definitely feel it was highly inflated due to the 4th considering we just came from an AirBNB in Camden that was top notch compared to this. We booked this city late, which is our fault. The view itself was great (if you got a room facing the harbor) and a small amount of stores/places was nearby to walk to. The drive to Bar Harbor was only 20 minutes, which wasn’t bad at all. The only feedback that is negative would be that our room did have a funky smell; I highly wondered how well the ventilation is considering the water get so hot in the shower and you could see splats above the shower caused by the condensation. The bed was sooooo uncomfortable and the pillows were insanely flat. We did ask the front desk for 2 more pillows and the older lady working was not very friendly. Would we stay again? Yes. If we found somewhere else during the same time that was a little higher, we’d probably give it a shot if it came with a better quality room and newer design.
