Peaceful Maine Getaway

This cabin was such a cute little place to stay during our Acadia NP trip! We absolutely loved the amazing dock on the stunning waterfront property especially in the morning and evening lights. It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable including plenty of towels and linens.

Great stay

Location was prefect for our 2 week stay. The house was comfortable and everything worked as described. The internet was a little spotty, but worked great for streaming tv (video calls were a little less reliable). Overall we would definitely recommend this place.

We had a wonderful time staying at this lake house! The home had everything we needed—comfortable, well-stocked, and perfect for a relaxing getaway.We especially loved spending time on the lake—swimming, kayaking, and taking in the peaceful scenery. While we didn’t catch any fish, we did spot turtles and lots of loons, which was such a treat!The location was great, too—close enough for easy day trips to Acadia, Bar Harbor, Schoodic Point, and even a Robertson sea cruise.Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Maine. We'd definitely stay again!

From the moment we stepped into Loon Cove Cabin we felt at home. Everything we needed was there,but more than that, the decor and extra attention to detail made this a wonderful vacation. The loons called to us, the lake was crystal clear, and the cabin offered comfortable places to sit,read,and relax. We already booked next year!

Great Getaway

My group and I had an amazing stay! The water was beautiful and it was so nice to hear the loons every morning. The only downside was no wifi, it was hard to plan trips/ outings when we could not look up direction/ distance. We would definitely come back!

Perfect Escape to the Lake

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was cozy and clean. The lake is beautiful. My kids had a great time swimming, fishing and kayaking. We were close enough to Ellsworth and Bar Harbor to enjoy visiting them each day and then we would retreat back to the cabin that was peaceful and serene away from downtown. Thank you so much Jen and Blair! We will definitely be back again

What we wanted and so much more

My family of 6 had a fabulous time at Loon Cove. The house and property were beautiful and so much more than we expected. The owner communicated fabulously and there were no surprises before, during or after our stay. I would rent this property again in a heartbeat.

Very peaceful lake

I miss the weekday quiet of the lake. The house was clean and homey, everything you need i right there. Kayaking on a clear mirror like lake in the morning was great. The call of the loons is music to the ears. Schoodic point 40 minutes away. NO phone service was a a great break from this busy world.

The location is amazing. The house is perfect size for a family. The owners have supplied everything you can think of from kayaks, floats, fishing poles and lobster pots. Everything is very clean and decorated nice. The water is crystal clear and clean a beautiful Maine lake. It’s nice there is no cell service or WiFi it gives a chance to disconnect. We will be back to rent from again. Thanks for a wonderful trip. The Cunningham family.

Perfect home away from home

I recently visited Maine with my husband, 10 year old son and dog and we loved our stay at loon cove cabin! The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We used the kayaks and fishing poles and left some tackle behind for the next people who enjoy fishing 😊. The view of the lake from the house is breathtaking. The clear water of the lake was wonderful. The cabin is a short drive to bar harbor and schoodic. We didn’t mind staying in the more remote area away from crowds. Check in/out was simple and the directions Jen provided to get to the cabin were perfect. This was one of our best vacations!

A great getaway on the lake

Loon Cove Cabin is great place to vacation. This is the second year we have vacationed there. Clean, stocked and off the beaten path for a great place to unwind and reconnect with family which is exactly what we were looking for. There is no cell phone service near the cabin. We went during the 3rd week of July, and the only detraction from Loon Cove Cabin is the neighbors on both sides had some large groups visit some days and the weekend overnights which can detract from the solitude, quiet, and bird/animal watching. My teenagers loved the water trampoline, swimming, fishing, and kayaking. The pingpong table was also a hit. Ellsworth is only about 30ish minutes down the road, and I would recommend taking a stroll on the downtown Main Street - it was lovely with great shops and cafes.

Just okay…

Home was secluded, but had neighbors on both sides that were close. Ellsworth Main St. is at least a 30min drive away. Home is older and it shows, but was clean. Lake was so clear and pretty. Be prepared with bug spray, lol! No A/C in the cabin, so it was very hot inside during the middle of the day. Ants were in bathroom and kitchen. Absolutely no cell service or WiFi within miles of cabin/area (we have Verizon). Beds were old and lumpy-the twins in downstairs bedroom had boards underneath the mattresses to provide more support, so none were very comfortable. Did have kayaks and life jackets. There is a Ping Pong table, but balls were broken or had holes in them, except one. Jennifer was wonderful with prompt communication and providing ideas for our visit.

Lovely spot on a lake

We loved our week at Loon cove Cabin - and we did hear some loons! The cabin is very clean! and not cluttered. It is very comfortable - places to sit and read. The dock was so nice - you can sit out on the water. The views are very nice. We liked being able to use the kayaks. Hiking is nearby, both at Tunk Mtn and Caribou Mtn. No cell service or wifi. The days are longer without both! Definitely a place to unplug and unwind. We hope to return.

Great house and location

My wife and I had a great time at the cabin. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great stay. The lake was beautiful, and having 4 kayaks at our disposal was just great. Acadia and Schoodic are close enough for awesome day trips, as are so many more 'local' Maine natural wonders. Overall, a great and relaxing stay. We'll be coming back for sure.

Beautiful view

Beautiful views from the dining room so you can enjoy the view while eating or putting a puzzle together. The lake is great for all stages of swimmers and it is crystal clear. House was great. It was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. There was no need to contact owners with any issues. We did however get great tips on fishing, shopping and eating from the owners. Check in was so easy and checkout was easy and smooth. Loved our first trip to Maine and will definitely recommend to others. Very comfortable and welcoming home with great owners.
