About this property

Large Lake House with Private Beach, Dock, Canoe & Kayak

Loon Lodge was purchased in the spring of 2016 and renovated to be family friendly, open, and comfortable! We hope you enjoy sharing our Maine getaway! You can see some of the renovation and lake photos on Instagram @LoonLodgeMaine

House: There are 3 bedrooms on the upper floor (master with queen bed, guest room with full bed, and guest bedroom with two twin beds), 3 bathrooms, and a bonus room downstairs with a pullout couch for extra sleeping. Bedrooms also have plenty of room for a pack and play (available), air mattress, etc. Living & dining room have huge windows that overlook the lake as well as a new rustic dining table and huge sectional couch. There is a full kitchen with an eat-in breakfast area and desk. The house has a small deck, 3-season porch, fire pit, and a charcoal grill.. Also, if you're coming with little ones, there is plenty of baby/toddler gear available if needed (bed rails, high chair, toddler dining chair, pack and play, books, games, kids plates/cups/bowls/etc).

Lakefront and Lake Description: Stairs lead from the house down the hill to a private beach area with 4 sections of dock, canoe, paddle boat and kayak available for use (included). Norcross Pond is one mile long with camps and homes along one side only – keeping the lake quiet. Water is clear and the lake has a sandy bottom for great swimming. Speed boats, pontoon boats, and jet skis are allowed, but since the lake is small you don't gets boats out all day. A boat ramp is available if you want to bring your own boat (note, the boat ramp is dirt and steep). The lake is full of bass, perch, and stocked with trout, so bring your fishing rods. There are also nearby places for blueberry picking, hiking, movies, ice cream, restaurants, etc. Fall is wonderful for walking around the lake, hiking at nearby mountains, kayaking, canoeing, and viewing foliage. Winter is perfect for ice fishing (stocked with trout), snowmobiling (trails are next to the lake to get you throughout the Maine trail system), ice skating, and skiing at an array of ski areas within an hour.

Local Things to Do: blueberry/strawberry/apple picking, movie theater, ice cream, lobsters, restaurants, markets, festivals, antique shops, biking, beer garden, and more.

Nearby Excursions: Farmington, Belgrade Lakes, Mount Blue, multiple ski mountains, Sandy River Railroad, DEW Animal Farm, Norlands Living History Center, Golf (Turner Highlands, Sandy River, Wilson Lake, and others), U Maine Farmington events, and more. Lots of excursions (hiking, skiing, ocean, and more) within 1-2 hours.

Our stay at Loon Lodge was one for the books! We made many memories swimming, jumping off the dock, fishing and making s'more's. The house had everything we needed and you can’t beat the location. We loved hearing the loons! I recommend for families looking for a memorable vacation :)

Needed a place for UMF Parents Weekend. This cabin was perfect. Grandparents, myself and 16yo son. Large and comfy. Very clean. We had a wonderful time hanging out between events on campus. Could not have asked for anything else. Looking forward to reserving again in the future. Thank you so much.

beautiful view, and enjoyed the provided canoe, and the swimming dock. It took 42 stairs to get to the lake, but the stairs were in good repair, and the railings were solid. We enjoyed local restaurants and farm stands. Our only complaint was the indoor furniture was not comfortable for seniors (too low, canted back). We brought the polastic lawn chairs in, and that helped.

Family Friendly Vacation Home

This was a last-minute vacation, and we were fortunate to find such a well-appointed home. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked. Having the kayak, canoe and paddle boat available was a terrific bonus. The owners were responsive and a pleasure to work with. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Renewed and refreshed at Loon Lodge

Perfect get-away to reconnect with spouses and friends! Loon Lodge is spacious, clean and well-maintained. Thoroughly enjoyed perfectly sized and quiet Norcross Pond for the kayak, canoe, raft (provided) and paddle board (we brought). Regardless of the weather, it’s still a great place to stay! Looking forward to renting again next year!

Wonderful lake side weekend

Had a great fall weekend. Family of 7, adults and 2 small children. Plenty of toys and games for the whole family. Loved paddling around the pond. House was clean and fully stocked, wanted for nothing. Host family were great to talk to and ready to help if needed. Highly recommend for a quiet, relaxing getaway!

We had a wonderful time at this charming lake house in Chesterville, Maine. The location was perfect—peaceful and tucked into nature, yet just a short drive to Farmington for anything we needed.While it rained the entire weekend, the cozy setup made it easy to relax indoors and enjoy the sound of the rain. On the second day, we were able to take advantage of the beautiful fire pit, which became the perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with nature despite the weather.Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and for creating such a welcoming space. We’re looking forward to returning—hopefully with a little more sunshine next time!

About the host

Why they chose this property

We purchased this house in the spring of 2016 for our family to enjoy. We live in NH have two little kids who love the lake, boating, ice fishing, etc. We also will use it as our home base for ski days at Sugarloaf, Saddleback, Sunday River, and Mt. Abram. Laurie grew up in Maine and spent summers on this lake (right next door to this house) her entire life. Her parents now live on the lake year round and her grandparents and uncle are here all summer as well. When this house became available, we couldn't pass up the chance to have our own piece of Maine life. Laurie's family has been summering here since her grandfather bought some lake homes here after returning from WWII and the lake is full of families who live here year round or return year after year. We are so excited to share this wonderful lake with other families since we know we just can't use it all summer due to work, activities, travel, etc!

What makes this property unique

Norcross Pond is only one mile long, which makes it the ideal size for all activities. It's easy for families with kids to enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, etc - and you can still see them no matter how far they go! Also, with the other side remaining wooded property, every house looks out over the lake with a view the trees along the other side. The lake is also a wonderful fishing spot, with bass, perch , and stocked trout as well. In the winter, you can ice fish, snowmobile to the maine trail system, ice skate, and snowshoe as well.
