Summary: The cabin was perfect for us; very clean, quiet location, and beautiful setting. Absolutely loved it! The cabin had everything needed for a perfect stay, kitchen appliances and utensils, plenty of games and books, linens, and washer and dryer, which came in handy. Dan was fantastic to work with. He responded to my inquiries very quickly. We can't wait to visit, again.

Summary: Little Loon is a lovely camp on gorgeous Donnell Pond. The master bedroom is huge, with a very comfy king size bed and en suite bath. The sandy beach was great for launching our kayaks, and the kayaking was wonderful, with much of the surrounding land being wild preserve. There is also lovely hiking in the nearby blueberry barrens and nearby trails. We highly recommend this beautiful spot!

Janette H. Oct 17, 2023 04:02:23 AM

Summary: Had a lovely stay at the property. Kitchen was well stocked, beautiful lake views, bed was comfy. We worked remotely, wifi was a strong enough connection for two using VC together. We saw bald eagles daily and the loons on occasion!

Summary: The cabin, property and atmosphere is absolutely great! The pond looked gorgeous this time of year. Owner responds very quickly, too! Perfect place to relax and unwind.

Summary: My family and I had a wonderful time at this spot - we loved having our own lake. It definitely is quite the trek to get to so keep that in mind if you are interested in going to dinners. But overall we absolutely loved it - beautiful spot!

Marcella L. Sep 10, 2022 01:51:57 AM

Summary: Very clean! Out of the way and secluded with beautiful views. Cottage was cozy with all the necessities. Only about 45 minutes to Acadia Park and 15 minutes into Ellsworth. If you want to get away from all the tourist traffic this is your rental. Dan was wonderful to work with and very responsive. 5 stars!

Summary: We had a Wonderful time and loved the Loon family who were seen from the house several times! It’s a great place to relax, kayak, and swim.

Chris D. Aug 15, 2022 03:46:50 AM

Summary: Dan & Family, thank you all so much for sharing Little Loon with us. What an absolutely wonderful and special place it is! We were SO sad to leave at the end of or stay! If you want an authentic Maine "Upta Camp" vibe and experience, this is the place! The cabin itself is completely charming, with the rustic camp feel but with great modern amenities. We made ample use of the grill on the deck, did some lobstahs, even! Great views and natural light in the main room and primary suite. And you cannot beat the location! A nice private spot with perfect swimming & kayaking in Donnell Pond and a front row seat to the Milky Way, Big Dipper and shooting stars in abundance at night! There were ample supplies and necessities, along with a great selection of puzzles and games. Dan is a perfect host and was super responsive to any questions and left excellent detailed info about the house. It was a stress free and absolutely memorable week that far surpassed what we'd hoped for. We will absolutely (absoloonly?) be back! The energy and feel of this little bit o' heaven is just sooooo good. Thank you again!!! Highly recommended!
