This place was in a very nice relaxing setting. It was in proximity of many places to hike and experience the relaxation of Maine and MDI. House was clean and in a nice quiet and relaxing location. Would highly recommend staying here.

Secluded beauty
This home is secluded,. If you're looking for conveniences in proximity, this location isn't for you. Closest town with stores and restaurants is Ellsworth, about 24 miles away. Bar Harbor and Acadia, 40 minutes away. However, the home is light and airy, clean and has plenty to do there. There's a game room and kayaks for the pond, which is right in the back yard and beautiful! My husband and I stayed a week and split our time between Bar Harbor and Acadia, and just staying at the house. We loved it and hope to go back again!

Excellent Getaway with everything you need!
The Loon house was an excellent getaway and an excellent vacation. We had everything we needed! Beautiful, huge pond filled with fish, a peddle boat, several kayaks, a great walkoff dock. The swimming was great. The water temp in July was fantastic! Pristine area. Very quiet but only 45 mins from Bar Harbor and about 50 mins from Bangor. Ideal for our family!

Wonderful property out of the way of the main hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Travel to mainstays are within 45-55 minutes. Loved the pond - plenty of time kaiaking and hanging with the ducks in the area. No shortage of memories to be made here - cannot recommend enough!

Needed less of Lee
Property, neat, had everything you could possibly need, just as advertised. Heard Loons at nite, pond is peaceful and pretty. If you want to cook Lob stah-well you in right place! Perfect pot, many different “shell crackers” we loved it. Unfortunately hurricane Lee shut down our trip early-only was to get out was to leave Thirsday. This vrbo restored our faith in the company as a whole. The last few we rented had issues. None whatsoever here. Beds comfy, plenty o hot water. Huge kitchen, porch awesome for morning coffee. Did Arcadia, Bar Harbor, Canada including St. Andrews which was charming! Ate nothing but seafood for five days! Still didn’t try it all! This is a top notch place for families, great for me and wife who are both in 60’s too.

Great Maine “camp”
We had a great stay. The house had everything that we needed and then some. We traveled to Acadia and Bar Harbor every morning and came back after lunch to kayak, swim and build a fire. The location is a bit remote (23 minutes to drive into town for groceries, etc..) but the flip side to that is we had the entire pond to ourselves most of the week. We only saw 1 or 2 other people the entire week. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location
First time being on a private pond and it was great. With limited access, the people in the houses on the pond get it mostly to themselves. That said, we were surprised when a sea plane landed on Sunday - how exciting! The fishermen among us caught lots of sunfish and a perch off the dock, and many more large perch, smallmouth bass, and even a largemouth from the kayak supplied with the house. We enjoyed using the paddleboat too. Morning walks down the dirt road past the ripe blueberry fields were very tranquil. It is Maine, there are bugs outside, bring high-DEET bug spray. The screened porch provided a mostly outdoor and mostly bug free compromise. Firepit was great - first fire was built and ready to light. Inside, fresh flowers on the table when we arrived and everything clean. Great water pressure in the showers. It was good to see how the owner noted upgrades to the property over the years in their coffee table notebook showing continuous improvements. We had a little trouble with the clothes dryer, but the owner was responsive. I could see a few more items added to the upgrade list soon such as retiring at least one of the twin mattresses and maybe the well-used but still functional gas grill. The other nice thing about the location is it makes a great jumping off point for day trips. We went to Acadia and Bar Harbor twice, and even up to St. Andrews in New Brunswick (remember you need passports to cross into Canada now).

Relaxing place
The house is very big with nice-sized living room, master bedroom, kitchen and reasonable accommodations for additional guests upstairs. Many thoughtful touches, for example a heating fan in the bath. Very few mosquitoes (unusual for the area). No motorized boats on the lake. The lake is not huge but pretty suitable for swimming. Overall, a wonderful place

Memories were definitely made here
This property is so relaxing and tranquil that you'll never want to leave. The house was clean and comfortable with all the modern amenities as well as some welcomed additions like the ping pong table and air hockey table. We saw a bald eagle everyday and sitting down on the dock was so relaxing; especially in the morning when the loons were the most active. My husband enjoyed paddling out to the middle of the pond to do some fishing. He caught lots of bass. The weather wasn’t the greatest when we stayed (obviously not the owner’s fault), but we were able to make the best of it and still enjoyed our stay very much. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

The boys loved the fishing. They didn't even want to leave and go to Acadia! If you are looking for a nice quiet retreat this is it.

Loon Lake
The house was well equipped and stocked with all of the essentials for our family of 6. Our youngest has special needs and the layout of the house paired with safety gates made our stay easier. The ping pong and air hockey tables were a nice addition for the kids. The lake was so peaceful and we saw loons, bullfrog, bald and golden eagles, pileated woodpeckers, the list goes on. The house is close to tons of attractions and not a bad ride from Acadia and Bar Harbor. We would highly recommend.
