We had a great time at Loon Struck. The house was spacious enough for our group of 6 adults and 3 babies. We enjoyed fires at night and did lots of swimming. The yard is great for games and hanging out. We would definitely come again!

We had a wonderful week at Loon Struck. This is very well stocked, and the hosts were communicative, helpful, and responsive. We loved that you could see the lake from so many different parts of the house, and the layout of the house offers so many different locations for socializing/gathering.

The owners thought of every detail and we were very fortunate with great weather. The location was perfect as the area across the lake was undeveloped and scenic. The lake was clear and clean. The sandy bottom was easily visible in 8 plus feet of water although the water near the dock was about 3-4 feet. There was an interesting creek nearby and we floated the creek. The lake is beautiful and easily navigable with some attention to charts.
The home was well situated on the lot and the walk to the water was short and easy. The home was built in 1920 and in good condition. I have mobility issues and having everything on the first level was fantastic, although my wife did say the loft was well appointed for additional guests. I was working during our 3-week visit and the Internet was fast and reliable for both work and streaming in the evening. The beds were firm and it took us a few nights to get used to them but we slept very well for the majority of our visit.
The neighborhood was very quiet and the neighbors were helpful. We did not go out to dinner and enjoyed the well-appointed grill and the great fish and shellfish choices from Tri-Pond variety. On the very few rainy days we had, we enjoyed a movie and/or Marden's in Waterville. Otherwise, grocery shopping was about 25 minutes away and there were a few farmer's markets and farm stands nearby.
We had a great time and recommend the camp to any and all.

Awesome - everything was ideal!
Lovely cabin in an ideal location- it exceeded our every expectation! Loved the loons. We saw many pairs with young ones- so good to see. And we were serenaded thru the night. We relaxed on the comfortable furniture, even had a little piano recital! Gathered around the fire pit to laugh and strengthen family bonds. Fishing challenged us but we never gave up! Just being out on the beautiful lake was enough! We highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to explore and experience the unique beauty of Maine.

Great place to gather with grandkids.
We enjoyed the cottage and its location in a quiet cove where the kids (nine and six) could get into the shallow water. The house was comfortable and well-equipped. Local communities are quite small, but the coast is close enough for day trips. We had a great day at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and sea fishing out of Freeport.

a great lake experience
Tod's place "Loonstruck" is a genuinely great place to spend some time, a classic Maine lakehouse. Just as it's pictured and described in the listing, it's properly equipped and really comfortable. Everything works and works well, and Tod was incredibly responsive and great to deal with. The lake is beautiful...clear and clean, the adirondack chairs out on the dock are great, and there's actually a pair of loons right there, much of the time. Great place, great experience altogether.

Fantastic Lake House- invites you outdoors
We celebrated our daughter's graduation from UMF there, with sisters, aunts, her boyfriend, and friends. With such a beckoning setting, the meals naturally spilled outside. The only thing we did not use was the firepit, but given 1 more day we would have! The kitchen is highly functional, and the house is truly well set up for enjoyment.

Cozy lake cottage
Loon Struck is a true gem. Cozy, quiet and well-equipped, it was a great base for our Central Maine activities. We felt right at home, and enjoyed the lake and dock right out the back door. Would happily stay here again! Tod and Cathy are wonderful hosts.

Great place
Beautifully set up for vacation. Lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the lake. The screened-in porch was the perfect place for nap and reading time! We love loons and saw parent and baby on our arrival. We consider a loon call the official sign we are on vacation. 😊 We also rented a boat from Great Pond Marina. So much fun to take the boat “to town”. Bob was terrific at the Marina. We got to see more of the lake that way. Several of the Maine lakes we have stayed on have lots of Milfoil. (A weed). None of that by the house and we felt it was the cleanest lake we had been to. A wonderful family vacation thanks to Tod and Cathy.

Beautiful cottage
Despite challenging weather, my family had a lovely time at this beautiful cottage located on a small inlet to Great Pond. The dock is perfect for chats and enjoying the lake. The cottage was comfortable and offered lots of space for my small family of 4. Many thanks to the owners!

Loon Struck Haven
My husband & I stayed for two weeks with our adult children visiting for a few nights. We were lucky to get two weeks in the rental as everything was booked! Lucky for us this was a gem. We're Mainers and knew the weather in June would be unpredictable so the cloudy days and rain didn't surprise us.
We read by the cozy fireplace and enjoyed the view on the screened in porch. We had some nice sunny days and enjoyed kayaking, boating and watching the wildlife. There were duck and geese families but the loon family with their little one riding on their back was a sight. Their calls to each other were enchanting. The place was incredibly clean, very well organized and the decorating was charming. We enjoyed the view from the kitchen and ate at the lake almost every meal. We would definitely recommend Loon Struck for anyone wanting a peaceful and quiet place with many amenities.
