Quiet and relaxing. Far enough away for some quiet time, close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia to spend full days around the coast and relax once in for the night. The pond (lake) there is beautiful and the loons are so wonderful to hear.

The property is right on the lake. Just a couple of steps and you are on the dock or in the water. The owners were great. It is the best stocked vacation rental that we have ever stayed in. Very, very clean and as a bonus they have 4 kayaks and the fishing was fantastic.

Wonderful place to spend a week in Maine for our family of 4! Well appointed cabin right on a beautiful lake. We had 4 kayaks and life jackets to use while we were there - there’s a diving board out in the middle of the lake that you can paddle to! It was an easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Great hiking right in the vicinity of the cabin too - highly recommend the Schoodic Mountain hike and then a picnic/swim at nearby Donnell Pond. Tim was so great to communicate with and he has an awesome helpful guide for groceries/restaurants/hikes nearby. I would highly recommend this place!

Heavenly honeymoon!

The location is amazing, quiet, peaceful, relaxing! We were close to Bar Harbor and Acadia but able to empty the pace and serenity off the lake that sits at your back door. Beautiful accommodations and very comfortable bed. This place made for an amazing honeymoon!

Two Loons was a fabulous vacation spot

We had the best time at the two loons camp on vacation. The pond was beautiful and the camp had everything we needed. The visiting dogs from other camps were a sweet bonus. If I get a chance to come back to this area I would definitely stay here again.

This property was perfect for us! The property is cute and roomy enough for 2 couples. We loved the access to the kayaks and the clean waterfront. This place was the most well stocked rental property I’ve stayed at. There was laundry detergent, extra toothbrushes/toiletries, pans/dishes, spices, towels, floaties, etc. We loved having a fire each night. We also had some cute animals, from the neighborhood, visit us including a dog and cat. Access to laundry was amazing. The only unexpected thing was there are tons of little gnats this time of the year on the lake that made their way into the property. Thankfully we had brought a bug zapper which was a huge help. This is no fault of the owners, but would’ve been helpful to know as we would’ve brought a few more bug zappers and/or sticky traps. Maybe something worth keeping available. Otherwise the we loved everything about our trip! The owner is kind and prompt to respond. Thank you for having us.

Great place!

We had a great visit to Two Loons! The house was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed to prepare meals (yay for a nice grill!) and everything needed to enjoy the lake - 4 kayaks, fishing rods and life jackets. We heard the loons everyday and saw a Bald Eagle. My kids really enjoyed fishing off the dock.

Cozy cottage

This was our first trip to Maine and we loved this cute and cozy cottage. It was clean and welcoming. Our favorite part was the dogs next door that came to hangout everyday! Great place for a small family. Our daughter enjoyed it.

Fantastic Stay

Our stay at Two Loons was great and overall was a good location to what we wanted to see and do during our visit. The home was a good size for our family of 3. It was refreshing staying in a VRBO that actually had everything we would need (as listed). We loved waking up every morning to the relaxing sounds and views over George’s Pond. We are going to recommend to everybody we know to stay here during their Maine visit and if we ever make it back to Maine we’d love to stay there again.

Hidden treasure on a little pond in Downeast Maine

Spent a week exploring the Downeast area in Maine. Each day we returned to our rented cabin on a little pond with all the comfrents of a modern day home. Spent down time exploring the pond, watching a the wild life and enjoying the great weather. Enjoyed your comfortable cabin so much we are going to plan another trip to the area in the future.
