Quiet and Beautiful

We had an excellent stay at the property. It was 100% accurate to the listing. We were serenaded with loons both morning and night, my husband caught a huge bass right off the dock, the neighbors were super nice and the lake is calm and quiet. The house is spacious and the little details the owners included like quality soaps and shampoos, big fluffy towels, plenty of life jackets and beach towels as well as canoes and kayaks made the stay even better. Definitely would stay again.

Great vacay!

We were very pleased with the house and location. The house was very clean when we arrived. It's very pretty and I love the open floor plan. The pond was very nice. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate for the majority of the week but we made the best of it. There is a bakery 2 miles away you have to check out! Wish we had discovered it earlier in the week. They also have prepared meals which were amazing. Alan is a great host and responded promptly when we reached out :)

Peaceful stay

We enjoyed our stay! We fished off the dock and used the kayaks. The loons could be heard each day and we saw an eagle soar from near the dock to across the lake! The lake was very quiet with few other boats. The pool table was a hit with our family. We had dinner at some of the local towns. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Why they chose this property

If you like a lake that's full of activity, with lots of roaring speed boats, this is not your place. Set on four acres of land, with just two nearby neighbors, one on either side, this is a true retreat. Comfortable and modern but set among the woods, Loon Cove is, truly, 'the way life should be'.

What makes this property unique

If you're looking for a quiet and natural place to unwind with your loved ones, or a place to relax, think about the future, read or write, this is the place. With all the comforts of home, but surrounded by the feel of central Maine, and the slower pace of the Belgrade Lakes area and the Kennebec Valley region.
