Loon Landing was exactly what we needed. Very private, comfy, and the view of the pond was great! Easy walk down to the pond, and my dog loved going down there to paddle in the water. Short drive to Acadia, or anywhere really, for the ocean. Thank you so much for hosting us for the week!!
This cute cottage was just perfect for our stay. It was clean and thoughtfully furnished. The hosts were kind and very helpful. It was so fun to be right on the water for family canoe/kayak time and the porch has such peaceful views. We loved our stay and made many fun family memories!
What an adorable, quaint, little place to stay. If quiet and relaxation is what you are looking for, this is the place for you. Sit by the water and let Mother Nature calm you. Just about an hour away from downtown Bar Harbor so plenty of opportunity to shop, eat, hike, but return to the quiet.
Loon Landing was the perfect spot for our anniversary getaway! The pictures and description were very accurate. The cabin was comfortable and equipped with all we needed! We enjoyed time on the lake and some delightful nearby restaurants and hikes! Hoping to return again!
Great view from large porch. Comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen. Short drive to grocery stores, including seafood market. Nature trails for our morning walks. We took day trips to Bar Harbor and Castine for lunch and the sights. The host was always available and helpful.
The cottage is secluded on a beautiful lake, and we did hear loons! It was a great location for our hiking trips to nearby public lands as well as Acadia and Cutler. Itâs well equipped, and the heater is great for chilly mornings. We wanted a getaway as our base and happy with our choice. The hosts let us in a bit early and were very responsive with questions. Ellsworth isnât far if you want to shop.
Had a great time at this cabin. Itâs not often you find a place that is private and quiet like this one. The pond being so close makes it perfect. Loved fishing and caught some bass right off the dock. Our dog had fun running around in the water as well. Host was accommodating and always available. Close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Most days we just wanted to hang out at the cabin and take it all in.
Amazing find on VRBO. Loved our stay at the cabin. My kids enjoyed fishing and swimming. Very quiet and secluded area, exactly as they described. The main only negative thing I would have to say is there are a ton of mosquitoes at night, but that is no oneâs fault! During the day they werenât as bad. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your cabin!
The cottage was immaculate. We were impressed with the cleanliness, condition and the stocked kitchen (appliances, pots/pans, pantry items, etc) The area is very peaceful. The canoe was in excellent condition and the heat worked wonderfully! Proximity to Acadia was great, as well. We had an awesome time. If you're looking for a quiet retreat for some down time from the busy thing we all call life then this is it!!!
Scenic view of the pond, with access to water. Water in the pond a bit too murky for a swim but great for kayaking. We liked the quiet location with reasonable travel time to attractions. Cabin is sufficiently stocked, however more towels would be needed for longer stays. No internet connection during our stay, but who needs it with a view like this?;) Good place to unplug and relax away from it all.
This place was exactly what we needed! We loved the extremely quiet atmosphere! It was a dream vacation for our dog as well! Beautiful place! Looking forward to returning some day!
Die Unterkunft war genau wie beschrieben, sie hat sogar unsere Erwartungen ĂŒbertroffen. Die HĂŒtte ist perfekt ausgestattet und liegt wunderschön an einem kleinen See. Sogar fĂŒr unsere Kinder im Teenageralter ein besonderer Aufenthalt.
This place rules!!! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location during the most beautiful time of year (mid-Oct).
Visiting Maine and going to Acadia NP during fall was on my bucket list. I'm so thankful that we were able to call this place home while we were out there.
I knew that we would love the location as soon as we turned onto the one lane gravel road leading to the cabin. It is secluded and quiet, but within a short drive of restaurants and attractions. The last night of out stay the sky was clear and we were able to see the Milky Way from the pier on the property.
Fantastic from start to finish.
Everything was clean and the property was well supplied with everything you need to relax and enjoy.
Loved canoeing/kayaking and swimming in the pond.
The deck was wonderful and the location was prime for accessing the Downeast trail for bike rides as well as short drives to Donnell Public lands for great hikes.
Acadia MDI/Schoodic weâre only 35-40 minutes away.
15-20 minutes into Ellsworth for any groceries/services.
Pleasantly surprised that late August in the woods on a lake in Maine and very little issues with bugs.
We have more mosquitoes in our back yard back in Maryland.
We live Maine and would highly recommend a stay at Loon Landing for anyone looking to explore the Acadia National Park area or just relax on Great Pond.
Aaron & Jennifer were great hosts.
The Cottage was exactly as described in the listing. It was well furnished and supplied. We found the pamphlets and guide books supplied to be especially helpful as we explored the area.
The only downside was that it was extremely buggy. This of course canât be helped at a cottage in the woods by a pond in early summer. We would just recommend bringing lots of bug spray.
We were able to take full advantage of the kayaks and canoe as well as the fire ring. We had a great time and would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at Loon Landing. The hosts were very helpful. The place was very private. One of our primary goals for the trip was to see and hear loons. The very first morning at 6:10 am, a loon drifted in right at the end of our pier and demonstrated his vocal talents! It was nice having our own canoe and kayaks to use for exploring. It was just a short drive to Acadia, which we explored thoroughly. Thanks so much Aaron and Jennifer!
Traveled to Maine for a destination wedding. My date changed plans at the last moment and I had to travel alone and chose to stay a few less days. The owners were very understanding, allowing my dogs and only charging the extra fee for the days that I was actually going to be there. I would've loved to be able to just change the dates of my stay to enjoy the property with my boyfriend but I knew it was much too late for that. Although I was staying alone, I felt very safe and close enough to other houses if there were any issues. The composting toilet wasn't any problem and that was something I was initially concerned about. Also I wish the wifi was a little better but I probably should've just been enjoying the view more instead of watching TV and answering emails. I would definitely recommend.
Can't say enough good things about this place. About a 1 mile drive down a dirt road to a very peaceful and quiet location. Only noises to be heard are the loons. Like someone else mentioned in another review most of the time we were the only people in the lake swimming and kayaking. Occasionally we would see someone else fishing and just get a friendly wave of the hand.
There is a sharp drop off in depth in the water about 30-40 yards from shore and the stairs leading to the loft are steep - not a big deal but just be mindful if you have small children.
About 30-40 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The more immediate local locations are also great (i.e. Timber Tina's, Ruth and Wimpy's, Jordan's Snack Bar, etc.) Grocery stores/Box stores only about 10 min ride away if need be
Internet can be fickle but not really a determining factor for us.
No issues with the composting toilet at all. It operates like and above ground septic system with the tank being under the house. Never had any issues with flushing, smell, or anything else. Also no emptying it - the owners take care of that.
Only suggestion we had are you may want to bring a fan bc it can get stuffy in there (you are in the woods surrounded by trees) and just relax.....
