Lion Lodge was homey and comfortable. It was a great place for kids with thoughtful toys, books and drawing supplies. The kitchen was also well equipped with all we needed. We enjoyed the float and the various boats. Great tv and movie access, too.

Property is well maintained. Cottage had anything you could have wanted and needed. We enjoyed our days swimming and floating, nights were spent by the campfire and playing games. Very fun week for all.

My family used to rent from this same family in the 60’s & we’ve always wanted to go back. The house is lovely with a great view of Norcross Pond. It’s a graded trail down to the lake. Super dock & beach! Three baths here, and really 2 living room areas. Great kitchen, comfy beds and a huge dining table. Can’t wait to get back to the call of the loons!

Couldn't have asked for a better spot for the price - we had plenty of room for the kids to run around, 2 couples to have their space. Beach has wadable water without a drop off; great for kids. The kids loved fishing off the dock or from the paddle boat.

The property was nice

This property offers all we were looking for; a relaxing, lakeside retreat. The home is very well cared for and the cleanliness was beyond spotless. The house is well stocked and we lacked nothing. Games, puzzles, kitchen utensils and linens. Thank you, ian and Laurie

Very relaxing weekend with friends. We had everything we could possibly need at Loon Lodge.

My family and I had a wonderful time in our rental. It was so homey and comfortable with plenty of space. The lake was beautiful and we frequented the canoe daily. Truly a great week!

My family and I spent the week enjoying swimming, fishing, kayaking and canoeing. The cabin had everything you need and more. The pond was clean and peaceful. Thank you for sharing your home.

The lake house was a great location for a birthday getaway. The house was spacious and had everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and also going out and exploring the area.

Laurie and Ian have the best property! Communication with Laurie was easy, fast and helpful. We rented the property for a short get away and fell in love with the beautiful house and the views. Can’t wait to rent again and enjoy the lake more. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed! 100/10, my family definitely recommends staying here. We got to meet Laurie and her mother and thoroughly enjoyed our small chat with them and their dogs. We felt very comfortable and at peace where we stayed.

Had a great time with my family! There was everything we needed for the kids witch made it so much easier for packing.

Easy

I rent lake houses all over the north east and this is one I will definitely be coming back to. It is a well maintained home with a lot of space and the hosts literally though of everything. It was exactly as described, in fact I feel they are being humble and it was nicer than expected based off their description. Though I did not bring the family, it would be an excellent choice for a family get away. Everying was clean, the host was very easy to work with and again, I do this fairly frequently and this is one of the good ones that I hope to revisit soon. Rent here with confidence.

Loon Lodge is really lovely. You walk into the main dining/living room with that view of the lake and it is stunning! Kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, the beds are super comfortable, the wifi worked fine, and most of all - it was super quiet! Sadly, I only got to hear the loons for the first few days, then they were out of there (but that is all about timing!). Very reasonable price for all the space. The location is about 15 minutes from anything - which is fine - especially if you are like me and want a little isolation. But the neighbors were friendly when we met walking the dogs. The owners were also really super to work with - very responsive and helpful. Really - you can't go wrong with Loon Lodge.

We love the water and being able to be here but close enough to still take kids to their activities if need be. Have always loved loon lodge!

We had a great time at Loon Lodge. The house was clean and comfortable. The house is well stocked with kitchen supplies, games, laundry- everything you need! The lake was lovely, and we loved the loons! Thanks!

Very peaceful. Well equipped. ls a bit dated. Needs some electrical updating. Microwave is dying. But overall would rent again

We had a lovely time at Loon Lodge! We traveled with another couple who had a 3 month old and enjoyed a week of lazing by the water, cooking great meals and playing board games in the spacious living room. Having the canoe, kayak and paddle boat was such a treat - we went out on the water every single day. We'll be back for sure.

We had such an amazing week at Loon Lodge. From the moment we pulled in to the driveway, the pond just drew you in. The house was just as welcoming, with the amazing views from the living area and master bedroom. The house was clean and had just about everything we could think of: plenty of books & games for the restful times (in addition to Netflix and dvds), and the kayak, canoe and paddle boat were enjoyed by all of us. Plenty of room for us all to be together, but also have a little space with the lower level area. And hanging out on the dock fishing was so great, both my boys caught their first fish, adding to the magic of the week. Looking forward to when we can visit again!

This was our groups fourth stay at the loon lodge and we love it every time. The cabin is beautiful, the lake is perfect, and Laurie and Ian are always welcoming and easy to communicate with.

We had an amazing time at Loon Lodge. The house is much bigger and nicer than the photos show. House is well stocked with bedding, blankets, pillows, cleaning products, games, pots and pans and so on. Furniture is new and comfortable (beds, couches, tv, dinning table). The fire pit area is so much fun. We roasted marshmallow every night. The location is perfect. Quiet neighborhood. The lake is great for kayaking, canoeing and swimming. Laurie and Ian have all the gear we needed to enjoy our stay. We will plan to be back next year!! Thank you Laurie for sharing this beautiful house with us!

Ok it’s not really a treehouse...but it is a beautiful three story lakeside four season cabin. My best friend and I just got to break in our new kayaks on the lovely pond, and the husband and adventurous teen could join us with couple of nice boats provided. We fished, watched sunsets, and had several awesome campfires with s’mores and sparklers and the stars, moon and the hollow, ethereal calls of the loons over the lake. This house is beautifully and tastefully equipped for comfy get-togethers with friends and family; we have teens but I do remember how much stuff you need for babies and wee ones. This house has everything from feeding to bedding to tons of toys and books. Loved it here and hope to come back someday to make more lakeside memories.

We had the best time.

We love it at the lake! Loon lodge is perfect for our little family (including our dogs, who love hiking around the lake!). Our week was relaxing but too short!

Had a wonderful time despite some chilly mornings. The view from the cabin is beautiful and the fishing from the dock was great. Something for everyone to do! Pictures don’t do it justice.

Had fun, relaxed, fished and kayaked

Water was clean , fishing was great, morning walks were relaxing , fire pit fun with marshmallow s'mores ..who could ask for anything more .

We enjoyed our stay! The listing was accurate -- the house was very comfortable and we had access to everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. I appreciated the ability to borrow some baby and kid gear as well as access to the canoe. Some other listings mention the proximity to a fast road - I wouldn't let that deter you. The house is landscaped to create some separation from the road; I was never worried about kids or dogs wandering too close so long as I was present. We enjoyed all of our meals out in the picnic area and around the firepit. Really was a lovely stay and I would absolutely consider coming back again.

Our family truly had a fun family vacation. House. We paddle boated, canoed, we swam almost everyday and we brought our own boat and went tubing and wakeboarding and fishing. Campfires with smores every night. Lauries home is welcoming and the amenities for children is very nice, crayons,, books, candy land board game, bouncers etc was a treat for our little ones.

Laurie and her family are wonderful to deal with! Her dad helped us plan/navigate our snowmobile outings. IF you are considering taking a snowmobile trip there are some things you should know. I don't see many/if any reviews that include help on this matter so here's mine: You need to get with some locals (or Laurie's dad) to help navigate the trail systems. Once you get the hang of it and what trails to be on you'll have nice rides. There is hardly anywhere to go/stop except a random gas station about every 50 miles. There really isn't a place to stop, get warm, have lunch, take a break. We are used to bars and restaurants in NY outside of town limits etc. If you want to put miles on...maine is the place. If you want to have a ride, meet people, rest, have lunch, move on...a casual day...Maine is not the type riding for you. The trails are well groomed and maintained and signage is the best we've ever encountered in any state. I am geographically challenged and would be hard for even me to get lost! I took off a star only because I feel this house would greatly benefit from a water filtration system. The water is very strong sulfur and can be quite the turn off doing dishes, showering etc. It does funky things to your hair and skin. Other than that it was a great house! Dog friendly but not a ton of running room for them. Thankfully the lake was frozen and they had a blast running around the vast expanse of the iced lake. The general store 3 miles away actually has great pizza and even delivered to us because we were in for the night and had a couple of drinks. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Rangeley is about an hour away but is very popular for snowmobilers so my advice (just like any trail system) is to avoid weekends and if you have to ride on a weekend go EARLY. Very early. Around this house/area snowmobile traffic was a minimum. We sadly didn't see any moose but on our last day of riding we got stopped by DEC and guess what?!?!?! It was MacCabe from North Woods Law!!! He stated that they film in that area quite a bit. Was the highlight of our trip and thankfully he wasn't opposed to a photo op!!!

A nice house right on the lake with access to the water and good fishing!!
