We had a wonderful week! There was plenty of room for everyone in the house, lots of open space (inside and out) which was great for the kids to play. The fishing was awesome - we caught lots of fish right off the dock, including a couple 5-6 pound large mouth bass!

Spacious and immaculate cottage with excellent amenities. We enjoyed kayaking to the nearby islands, fishing right off the dock, lots of swimming and all kinds of lawn area to play. The town of Monmouth is very quaint with local sandwiches and even a bakery. There are also several easy hikes that we did as a family. Grocery stores and all the shopping you need is a quick drive down the road. We definitely enjoyed our week here!

The Loon's Nest in Monmouth is such a wonderful get away. The lake is beautiful with lots of wildlife to see: osprey, eagles, mink, chipmunks, beaver, and of course the loons. We loved hearing their serenades. Bring your camera. You'll get some great shots. There is plenty of room for everyone with comfortable beds, (one is firm) and lots of places to gather like the big comfortable kitchen table, the TV room, or the sprawling front lawn. Steve has all kinds of "toys" for the water and plenty of life jackets of all sizes. My husband LOVED the fishing! He used the boat but actually caught some of his best fish right off the dock. (a 6 pound bass: his personal best.) We swam, fished, read in the shade. It was just plain delightful! The kitchen is larger than it looks in the photos. I love to cook and found everything I needed. We shopped at Hanaford's super market, just 5 mins away. (The drinking/tap water is excellent.) Everything we needed was there: spices, paper towels, coffee filters, trash bags, soaps, TP, flashlights, games, playing cards, puzzles, and lots of books (fabulous reading library.) FYI, we all connected to WiFi and had great service all week. You couldn't ask for a better host than Steve: easy communications and great information. We will be returning to Loon's Nest to make even more lifetime memories.

Beautiful to watch the fall foliage appear around the lake. Spacious well appointed house decorated fitting to Maine and Loon lodge. Fabulous lake views with morning sunrise.

Stairs would be a little challenging for elderly or someone with walking difficulties. Lake was peaceful. We took advantage of all the activities they had to offer, swimming, row boat, kayaks, paddle boat and fishing!!!!

We had a great time staying at the Loon’s Nest. Very spacious open floor plan house and great lawn leading to the lake! Floating dock was perfect for jumping into the lake and fishing was insane! Owner Steve is super nice and has thought about everything to provide for a great stay! Kayaks, boats, lawn chairs, dry wood for fire pit, floating tubes and even cold beer/wine/Gatorade for your arrival in the fridge!! AC units worked great but didn’t need them at night. Great location with easy access to grocery story and general stores. Fielder’s Choice ice cream is about a 15 min ride but worth every second! Best ever! Great vacation!

The camp was wonderful and perfect for a family reunion / 4th of July vacation! 🤗.

My family and I just got back from our second stay at the Loon's Nest. It was everything that we remembered from our first trip and more because this time, we were able to enjoy the lake and the boats in addition to being able to spend time visiting friends and family. This house is just perfect for our three generational getaways to Maine . My son-in-law is a chef and just loved the kitchen. The kids loved the lake and the kayaks and the paddle boat and row boat. My daughter and I love that we each have a bedroom that we love. Mine is the one with the wood panel which also happens to get the best cross ventilation breeze in the house. Hers is the one with the lake view and queen size bed! The teenagers love the loft and the upstairs bedroom too. We alternated between spending time at the lake and getting out to enjoy some of the other highlights of the area. We left hot and humid Northern Virginia for a glorious week in Maine with cooler temperatures and wonderful lake breezes. We have already started talking about our next visit. One week was not enough! We hope that next summer we can spend two weeks at the Loon's Nest with our whole family so that we can do everything that we loved this year plus some of the things that we didn't get to do this time. It is a pleasure to deal with the owner of this beautiful property. After two successful bookings, he feels like a friend. He is very responsive which I really appreciate and know isn't always the case from other rental experiences. Given that we are trying to schedule a third and maybe even a fourth visit, it goes without saying that we would recommend this property and this owner to anyone wanting to spend a week on a beautiful lake in Maine!

Our best family vacation yet. We enjoyed an August/Sept week with our family of four, including 2 tween daughters, as well as a Grandfather and Uncle along with us. Even with 6 of us, the house was never crowded. We spent almost everyday kayaking, swimming in the lake, and playing in the yard. We also rented a pontoon boat from Collins Boat Rental for a few days to explore the lake and go tubing. The lake was so peaceful. We all really enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and the call of the loons. We even got to see the bald eagles soar by after roosting on the islands. This beautiful home exceeded our expectations and had everything you could ever want. By far the best property on the lake!
