Relaxation at it's best

DodieC Naples, FL
Review Submitted: August 28, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
When we arrived (coming from our life of luxury, hi-tech & fast pace) I was taken a little by surprise. The road is a narrow, rock road on a hill lined on both sides by wildflowers & woods. As you drive down the small slope towards the cabin you can see the lake. It was beautiful & yet a little scary (I guess I've seen to many Friday the 13th movies). My mind wanted to run to an air conditioned luxury hotel. But after about 30 minutes my mind relaxed & started to meet my breath which had deepened to a long, slow pace. At night we'd sit & watch the stars while fog crossed the lake & the loons called out (if you've never heard a loon call it's haunting & beautiful at the same time). The hi-speed wireless internet worked great. The stairs to the 2nd floor & the steps down to the lake are narrow & steep and the shower tiny. But, this place is so nice despite those things. It's relaxing & beautiful. We took some amazing pictures. I have friends who live about 20 minutes from here & they came over almost every day to enjoy the lake. If you are looking to relax - this is the place.

sweet and charming - Martha Stewart style

bird bowls Massachusetts
Review Submitted: June 14, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
As described online, Little Loon Cottage IS adorable. Martha would be proud! It is just as cute as could be with everything you need: Down duvet/comfortors on comfortable beds upstairs, an outdoor deck for meals and a pretty indoor dining room for rainy weather. The cottage is right on the lake with a small dock for sunbathing.
It is definitely a "camp" and a romantic one at that. We didn't mind bringing our own linnens and drinking water, which could be an inconvenience for some people I suppose--it was just too charming for us to care.
We will definitely return to this peaceful little haven again. The owners have created a stylish yet simple get-away cottage that is just delightful and a trip into Waterville is an easy 15 minutes away.. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again.

Wonderful week

rosehip Yarmouth, Maine
Review Submitted: September 4, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had a wonderful week in a sweet camp on a beautiful lake. The setting is quiet, restful, and quite private. The initial discovery that there was no TV reception turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it forced us to think of other things to do. The place was clean, everything works the way it's supposed to, and actually looks nicer in person than in the pictures. We would certainly recommend this camp to anyone looking for a place to escape the stresses of everyday life.
