A great place to stay that for a relaxing family vacation!

We had a fantastic stay at the Laughing Loon! Our family of 4 plus 2 young kids had a blast, relaxing and cooking breakfast, kayaking in the huge lake, exploring the surrounding secluded towns, and taking in everything Maine has to offer. If you're looking for seclusion and a great time away from the stressful life at home, this is the place to stay. We can't wait to come back!

The portion of the home that we had access to was very nice and the size accommodated our group of 5 quite nicely. The 10am checkout time was a bit early considering that they require you to take your garbage to the dump when leaving and our car was full so we had to run a separate trip in the morning before leaving. We are used to a 11am checkout with most of our stays.

Perfect winter weekend

We had a relaxing, peaceful stay at Laughing Loon. There was ample space for the six of us, plenty of heat for a snowy, January weekend, and the loveliest views of the lake. We especially enjoyed sitting by the fire, playing games, and looking out the huge windows to see the people fishing on the ice and bald eagles flying by. It was the perfect spot for our family gathering, and the hosts were super easy to communicate with. We would love to return - highly recommend!

Beautiful home on a beautiful lake

We had a wonderful time celebrating my mom‘s 80th birthday at this gorgeous lake house. We used the kayaks and canoes multiple times, roasted s’mores, and sang songs around the fire pit, and cooked some delicious meals in the well appointed kitchen. The lovely owner was super welcoming and very helpful with all questions. I highly recommend this house for a wonderful retreat.

My husband, son, daughter-in-law, 7mth old grandson and myself had a wonderful stay in this beautiful Lakehouse. My husband was thrilled to catch 2 brown trout, and we both enjoyed some wonderful kayaking. We appreciated the outstanding cleanliness, and how well appointed the kitchen was. Highly recommend Beth's Kitchen in Bridgeton for a great lunch. Also, highly recommend this lakehouse. We hope to return.

Perfect home in the Lake Region

We really enjoyed our stay at the Laughing Loon! The home is beautiful and very clean and well-stocked. Rebecca was also a helpful and thoughtful host. Hancock Pond is a gorgeous and peaceful lake so if you are looking for a more remote, quiet location this home is for you! The town of Bridgton is nearby (20 min) and is a very cute and quaint town. We also took day trips to Portland and Kennebunkport and they are just an hour way so the location was really ideal for us. We hope to return someday to the Laughing Loon! And added bonus was kayaking on the lake and seeing loons close by!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Gould

Host profile image

Our family has been vacationing and making memories here for over 25 years. This is our second property on Hancock Pond - our little slice of paradise.

Why they chose this property

Laughing Loon is adjacent to our own vacation home on Hancock Pond. We purchased it in 2016 in order to accommodate our growing extended family reunions. In 2016 and 2017, we extensively renovated the house with fresh paint, new floors throughout, new lighting, new grill, new drilled well access, new state of the art heat pump system for heating and AC, new furniture and mattresses, new dock stairs and waterfront restoration, and new TV/internet access. In 2019, we continued our renovation with the addition of a new living room and kitchen, more skylights and a cedar entry closet.
We are proud to welcome our own family here and believe that you will be delighted as well.

What makes this property unique

Laughing Loon is on the water with gorgeous unobstructed views of the lake from the porch, living room and two of the bedrooms. You will relish starry nights and visiting loons, fragrant pines and ample privacy, and build happy memories around the firepit.
