It was nice but the bathroom sink was so backed up it took me three hours to get it drained though I love the place that was my only thing someone should’ve checked the sink. My son wasn’t happy that I had to spend three hours on it as soon as we got there.

I am so sorry to hear that the sink was clogged when you arrived. We would have been happy to come right over and clear that (or send a plumber in, if needed). Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any issues with the property if you visit again. Hope you enjoyed the lake!

Beautiful location

This was a wonderful place to stay. We were concerned about the lack of A/C for a couple of 90*F days, but the fans ended up being sufficient. The boats were great and we got a lot of use out of the canoes.

Family trip to Maine

We enjoyed our first trip to Maine staying in Loon’s Nest. Fishing is great and the boats add to the lake enjoyment. Loons on the lake each day added to the beautiful, peaceful views.

Stay at loons nest

Had a great time at the lake , good kayaking and boating, did some fishing. The kid's loved the water.it's a very quiet pond, just what we wanted. No beach because of the high water but otherwise fabulous.

Maine Experience

Our introduction to Maine included a stay in this cozy, comfortable lakeside cottage. We were within 1 1/2 hours from Rockport and 30 minutes to Manchester. The cabin was well stocked with essentials, but there are many delicious restaurants within an easy, scenic drive. So glad we chose this area, and the natural beauty of the pond is stunning. The homeowners were wonderful as well.

Fantastic home!

Fantastic house perfect for a relaxing getaway! Everything is updated and clean, filled with charm and all you need. It's located on a beautiful lake with a fantastic dock and bonus pedal boat and canoe. Laurie was also very kind and a pleasure to communicate with. She provides a lot of useful information upon booking and at the house about the cute surrounding areas which is great :) We would definitely recommend!

Lovely little cabin, beautiful lake, great for a couple

We loved our stay. Two small tweaks would have made it perfect. Front seat in the canoe needs repair! Also, hard to fish well from a boat without an anchor. Everything else was wonderful.

Maine lake

Did not enjoy the 45 steps to and from the lake but we are both over 70. For years we camped on a lake in the Adirondacks and I pretended that we had a cabin on the lake. Now we rent a cabin on the lake and pretend that we are camping. But I enjoyed floating in the lake and canoeing.
