The Loon was everything we could have asked for as a home away from home. It was charming, comfortable, well equipped, and the deck and dock made our stay so enjoyable. Thank you, Lisa!

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.

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!

This VRBO was fantastic. The kitchen was better stocked than any other rental i have stayed. Everything was clean and tidy. The views are beautif. It is a quick drive to grocery, gas, walking trails, and the down town Camden area. Lisa gave us great recommendations for hikig trails, site seeing, and food! We really enjoyed our stay and woukd book again if we make our way back to Maine.

Perfect Location

We had a great stay at Loon Cottage. Comfortable and cozy, and in a perfect location. Camden and Rockport are less than ten minutes away; both have excellent restaurants and shops. The lake is lovely and right off the deck. Communication with Lisa was easy and check in was a breeze.

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!

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.

Wonderful!

The Loon Cottage was so comfortable and clean! The views are amazing. The beds were very comfortable with very nice linens. It was far enough away from Camden that we had privacy and quiet but close enough that we could go out to eat or shop easily! One of my favorite places we have ever stayed!

A Lovely Cabin with a Gorgeous View

We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The location couldn’t be more beautiful, and when we weren’t canoeing on the pond, or sitting on the dock watching the loons, we were only a few minutes away from a hiking trail or a beach. We were sad to leave, but hope to return some time.

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.
