Very nice place to stay with plenty to enjoy. It is somewhat off the beaten path and is a very quiet setting. The drive to Bar Harbor is a little way away but part of the adventure of being in Maine. Enjoyed our stay here very much and would be happy to stay here again in the future!

Another great stay at the Calling Loon

This was our second time staying at the Calling Loon. We love it there! We enjoy the peacefulness and solitude of the property and all the amenities that it has to offer. The sunsets from the dock in the evenings are beautiful. The home was well stocked and very clean when we arrived. Hoping to return again next year!

Relaxing family vacation

This vacation was the best one we have had. The house was beautiful and offered great entertainment. We all found a love for kayaking on the lake. Playing pool and ping pong was so much fun. The beautiful crystal clear lake was a great place to swim. We didn’t want to leave. The yard was like a fairy garden, so enchanting to look at. It truly was a wonderful place to stay.

Family gathering

This property was perfect for our family. Plenty of room, very well stocked, clean, great yard and beach area for the little ones and adults alike. We had trouble finding it initially, and it is further away from Acadia then we realized, but manageable. Beautiful location, great host, we had a wonderful first family trip to the Maine coastal area.

Thanks for your review. We are so pleased that this property worked out well for you and your family. Yes, it can be a bit of a drive to Acadia National Park, especially during the peak tourist season. The traffic can certainly slow the travel down. Thanks for staying with us!

Family Vacation

Our large family rented 3 different homes on Molasses Pond. This home was by far the best. It was spacious, clean, well maintained and had a beautiful view from the living area. The outdoor area was perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking and having an evening campfire. I would recommend this home to family and friends.

I can't say enough good things~

I've stayed at many rental houses throughout the years, and this by far has to be the best. The property was clean, extremely well equipped, and well thought out. The manager was communicative and pleasant to work with. Plus, the pictures on this site do not do it justice. It is far more beautiful in person. Can't wait to stay there again!

Another wonderful vacation

This is our second vacation at this rental property. Both have been fabulous. The owners are wonderful to work with. The property is clean, very spacious and well equipped. The sunsets are beautiful and the stars are magnificent. We stood out on the deck and saw the most beautiful night sky. What we enjoy most about this property is the peacefulness and the calling of the loons at night.

Calling Loon Lakehouse

The house was so beautiful! Was exceptionally clean & more well stocked than any VRBO house we have ever stayed in over the years. Enjoyed sitting on the dock listening to the lions & fishing. Caught a 4 pound smallmouth on very first cast & more white perch than I could count. Short trip to Bar Harbor & Schoodic point. It was a very quiet, peaceful & relaxing vacation. We would whole heartedly recommend this property & would not hesitate to book again for ourselves.

Peaceful, Clean and well stocked.

Wonderful home that is very well stocked with everything we needed. All pots and pans were high quality and good shape. The best stocked home of all we have rented Plenty of towels for 9 people. It is a remote location which is what we were looking for, very little boat traffic on the pond, very quite and peaceful. Nice little beach to access the water. Wonderful sunsets and calling loons. VRBO agent and owners very easy to work with. Highly recommend renting this home.

Graduation present

We really enjoyed the house and property. It was a little off the beaten path but the amenities far outweighed the difficulty of the dirt road. The house was spot on with a well equipped kitchen and spacious comfortable bedrooms. Every room was clean and spacious. The kids especially enjoyed the pool table in the lower level. The only draw back was the ferocious mosquitos which was no fault of the owner. All in all, a great vacation was had by all.

Good times in Maine!

We had a wonderful stay at the house. The house is nicely stocked including the kitchen. My family loved the secluded feel and being able to take the canoe and kayaks out together on the pond, which felt more like a lake. We spent most of our days hiking and exploring Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. The house is definitely off the beaten path, and we had to drive most days about an hour to get to our Destination which was no big deal for us, but if that’s not for you this house may be a little out of the way if you are planning to spend most days in Acadia National Park. However for us it was a great house!

April Get Away

Beautiful home and nice country property. Would have been better in the summer when you could enjoy going for a swim, but we did get out in the canoe which was nice. Justn one word of caution. DON'T TREUST YOUR GPS! It took us on the wrong road a few times, and usually wanted one that was closed off or one that should have been.

Thanks for this review Priscilla. Yes, please take caution. GPS is not totally reliable in our area. We provide all renters with written instructions on how to find the rental, where the key is located, etc. This information is found in a confirmation letter which we ask you to keep in the car with you as a printed copy. Your feedback is very much appreciated on this as well though. So glad that you enjoyed your time at Calling Loon Lake House. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

Spacious House with easy Water Access

Great house, well stocked, very spacious and accommodating. A gem, right on a large lake/pond, in the middle of the woods. Stayed with family and dogs during a balmy October week and pretty much had the entire lake to ourselves to kayak on all week. Had several Loon sightings and spotted a Bald Eagle over by the island on the Pond. If you're good with a little unpaved road driving and follow the directions given to you by the owners, you're going to be very happy with your stay. About a 1/2 an hour to Ellsworth for supplies and less then an hour to the lobster shacks in Trenton and on to Acadia National Park.
