The Wedding Website of Andrew Swafford and Alexis Mychajliw
We intentionally chose a beautiful areas that offers a range of activities, from intense mountain hiking to casual walks along the harbor. Convenient locations to stay would include Bar Harbor or Mt. Desert Island. There are options ranging from fancy hotels to cozy cabins and even campgrounds. We also love the Blue Hill area, which is a bit further out but has small artist cabins that can be rented. Reasonable rentals can also be found in Ellsworth and Lamoine. Alexis has built many field work itineraries around this area, so she can recommend rentals and travel options. Below are some travel suggestions and resources!

Travel Note

Getting to Bar Harbor By Plane or Bus

Bar Harbor can be tricky to get to. In our opinion, the best option is to fly into Portland, ME or Boston, MA then do the final leg via rental car. However, there are closer airports and bus options as well (see "View" below).

Travel Note

Where Should You Stay?

We have not reserved a hotel block and you are free to choose wherever you want to stay. We encourage you to stay near Bar Harbor for convenience to driving to the ceremony (Otter Point, https://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/sand-beach-otter-point.htm) and reception (Sweet Pea, https://www.sweetpeascafemaine.com). We will be staying in an AirBNB (12 Abby Lane, Bar Harbor, Maine). If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out - Alexis loves logistics.

Flight

Portland Airport

We think the best option is to fly into Portland, Maine and rent a car, then take a scenic drive along the coast to Down East!

Flight

Hancock County - Bar Harbor Airport

This is a very small airport with a limited flight selection, but reliably runs to Boston.
