The house and grounds were very private. located overlooking a quiet lake. Although neighboring houses were in reasonably close proximity, the area was very quiet. The house was well stocked and comfortable for the two of us.. Opportunity was available for both indoor and outdoor dining. Bugs were at a minimum, Shhh!.We spent time exploring Hosmer Pond each day. Only occasional other boaters were on the lake. only small motors were allowed, so the noise was at a minimum.Check out the toboggan run on the west side of the lake, as well as the MarshallPomt Lighthouse south of the immediate areas, in Port Clyde.The house is a good base for exploring the more tourist oriented activities on Route 1. Only @ 10 miles from the action made all the difference in the world. Shopping was convenient, with a Hannifords, as you turn onto Route 1 and a great organic farm stand on the road to the house..Lisa, the property manager was easy to reach and provided local information. A real find.!

Lovely spot on a quiet pond. We very much enjoyed watching the loons, ducks, heron and turtles from the deck. Our lab loved playing in the water from the easy accessible water. Limited motor boats on the pond and a dead end road made for a quiet week. Cabin is comfortable and well equipped. Close to neighboring towns for exploring.Bonus that the cabin is so near The Place (great cinnamon buns) and Scott’s (inexpensive lobster rolls and great onion rings)! Lisa was spot on with communication. We hope to stay again!

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy lakefront home. It was the perfect size for just the two of us—small, but comfortable and just what we needed. Everything was very clean and well-kept, and the owner was excellent with communication, making everything simple and stress-free. Our favorite part was spending time on the deck looking right out over the lake, enjoying the peaceful views and watching the three loons that hung around nearby. Such a special and relaxing spot.

Perfect Spot for a Fall Getaway

The location of this cabin is ideal- you are just a few minutes drive from all the amenities Camden has to offer and you get your water view- which we found more serene than the ocean with the beautiful loons calling. This cabin has everything you need and then some! We hope to return!

Lake Cottage

We absolutely loved this place, I would recommend this place and Lisa to anybody who wants to come. Lisa (the owner) was SO nice and she stopped by to check if we were doing good and if we needed anything. The place is so clean and specially SO cozy. You are a 5 minute drive from Camden and a grocery store. We were also about 1:40 from Acadia national park. If we come back to Camden, this will be the place we stay :)

Loon Cottage is a gem!

We absolutely loved our stay at Loon Cottage. Very comfortable and so peaceful, definitely did not want to leave. Loved spending time on the deck and dock, and comfy hanging out with the wood stove. Wonderful to paddle around in the canoe in the sun (even our dog liked that part!) Lisa was very responsive and we sure hooe to come again in the future.

Fantastic week in Camden

We stayed for a week with kids and a dog. The house was perfect for our needs, well stocked and comfortable. The pond is beautiful and clean with loons calling in the morning and evening. The location can’t be beat, you’re about 8 minutes from downtown Camden, but feel away from it all at the house. Looking forward to going back next year.

Beautiful lakefront cabin

Our stay at the cabin was wonderful! We loved sitting on the porch overlooking the dock, but the highlight of our week was taking the canoe and kayak to the little islands in the middle of the pond. The pond is shallow so it was very warm and there were no motorboats allowed. It was a very peaceful place to spend the week. The cabin itself was great! The two bedrooms were roomy for our family of four and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would love to visit again!

Breathtaking View and Rustic Comfort

We absolutely LOVED our stay at 'Loon Cottage.' It was just the two of us, so we were glad to be able to rent a place that didn't have tons of extra bedrooms and space we didn't need. I cannot say enough about the location. This was our first trip to Maine, and staying in this place just outside of Camden proper was perfect - we were close enough to make an easy drive into the charming town for groceries, wonderful dining, strolling by the waterfront AND felt like we were tucked away in an almost private hideaway on a gorgeous large pond. The view from the deck was so beautiful it nearly took my breath away, especially in early morning or late day light. And we loved the rustic old feel of the cabin - it really felt like HOME. We were there for some pretty chilly nights and loved firing up the wood stove now and again to make it a little toastier inside. The kitchen had everything we needed and the short few steps down to the water and a lovely dock made for a wonderful spot for quiet contemplation or watching the birds and feeling the breeze. The main bedroom bed was so comfortable (I'm in love with those sheets) and we slept so well and felt very much at home there. Plus, the host was so attentive and kind. We would definitely return to this cozy hideaway in the hart of mid-coast Maine again.

Wanted to give 5 stars

The cottage is cute and exactly what we wanted but, we had a 97 year old with us and the walk way wasn't really safe for him. Linens were in short supply. We ended up at Walmart to buy more towels. The swim ladder was broken and the grill spilled grease all over one of our kayaks.
