SWAN'S ISLAND, Maine,
Jan. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- If
you've always wanted to own an inn, but didn't know where to start,
this could be the opportunity for you! Write the winning
350-word essay and you could be the new owner of a quaint inn just
off the coast of Maine. See our website www.WinOurInn.com for
official rules and entry form.
The Harbor Watch Inn is the only motel on Swan's Island and has
been in constant operation since the mid-1980s. The motel
includes two standard rooms and two rooms with full kitchens and
views of the harbor. Upstairs is a furnished one-bedroom
apartment that is rented year-round, or could serve as the new
owner's home.
Located 6 miles off the coast near Acadia National Park, the motel attracts
visitors who appreciate the rugged beauty and peaceful setting
intrinsic to the area. The island is the perfect spot for
kayaking, hiking and artistic pursuits. With a lighthouse,
marine museum, and working waterfront, the island also attracts
tourists interested in learning about the history and culture of
the Maine coast.
Accessible only by water, including the Maine DOT automobile
ferry service, the island is remote enough that visitors can truly
escape from the every day, but close enough that they can make day
trips to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and
the rest of Down East Maine.
While there are several long-term rental properties and a
handful of AirBNBs, the only other short-term stay property is
one B&B. The island has a
strong sense of community and hosts numerous craft fairs, an
artists' open studio, community breakfasts, pie auctions and
chowder cook-offs.
To participate, entrants will answer a few questions and write a
short essay. The essays will be reviewed by a group of independent
judges headed by a couple of retired school teachers who have deep
roots on the island. The contest will be open to entries
beginning February 5, 2020, and will
close on March 31, 2020. A
winner will be selected and announced by mid-May, with the real
estate closing shortly thereafter. Each entry costs
$99 and there are no limits on the
number of entries per person.
See our website www.WinOurInn.com for official rules and entry
form.
