About The Owner

We have vacationed on Moose Pond since the '60's and our family has a 90+ year history with Camp Winona & Wyonegonic. Located near Camp Winona, this location on the eastern shore is very special to us.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 2004
Why The Owner chose Moose Pond

We fell in love with this rustic 80 year old cottage when we were renting it from the previous owners. Since purchasing the cottage, we have worked to preserve its character and ensuring that it will be here for another 80 years. We have replaced the floors throughout the cottage with hardwood. The exterior has been resided with hemlock and the wiring has been replaced throughout the cottage.

What makes this cottage unique

Morning coffee on the dock, watching tendrils of mist rise on the lake. All manner of water sports - swimming, canoeing, sailing, fishing, water skiing & wake boarding. Relaxing in the adirondack chairs or hammock at any time of day with a good book.

If you want to get away and refresh and recharge, then this is the place for you. What a wonderful experience to be on this beautiful piece of property taking in the abounding beauty that surrounds you. We could have sat on the dock all day long, but we did take time for boating on the lake, hiking
on the mountain and enjoying good food on the wonderful porch. The water and the mountains are breathtaking. The cottage is so comfortable and quaint with everything that you need for a relaxing getaway. Treat yourself to a real "piece of heaven" and "feed your soul". You will love it. We did!

My husband and I have had the privilege of spending wonderful times at the Loon Dance Cottage. Words are simply inadequate to describe the joy we experience as we relax and enjoy the surrounding beauty. We gladly trade dinner out to dine on the screen porch and enjoy lobster while watching the awesome sunsets.
The mornings are magnificent....each one a different thrill! We have coffee on the dock and watch the fog lift and the sun break through. There are countless ways to spend your time. Our favorite pastime is listening to and watching the loons. We look forward to the cool nights and getting cozy by the beautiful stone fireplace.
The cottage is clean and well equipped with comfortable essentials plus the charm of a storybook get-a-way. We call our time at Moose Pond our "Golden Pond" experience and highly recommend this vacation site to anyone who enjoys experiencing the beauty of nature.

Our Favorite Find

5 of 5
Submitted: April 1, 2012 Stayed: June 2011
Loon Dance Cottage is our favorite find. It certainly made drop off and pick up for our camper a vacation for us, instead of the usual chore. Although Bridgton is a darling town, we found accomadations less than enjoyable until staying at this spot right on the lake. We love the camp experience Winona offers our son and wanted to share season opening and closing ceremonies with him. We reveled in the idyllic spot on this quiet shore of the lake so close to camp. We could walk through the woods right into camp and enjoy Sunday service, or an afternoon activity, or simply put our feet up in the hammock and while away the afternoon watching sailboats out on the lake. On a rainy day we took an easy drive over to North Conway lunching in the old Inn there and then taking advantage of the outlet shopping. We took advantage of the huge farmstand on the way home to pick up local produce and homemade blueberry pie, ending the day cooking up a summer meal while the sun set from our own private view of the lake...great stuff!

Longing for Loons

5 of 5
Submitted: March 26, 2012 Stayed: June 2011
Our stay at Loon Dance was amazing! Waking in the morning to the sounds and sights of the lake on the lovely sleeping porch made me happy to wake each day. We had such a nice relaxing week, we didn't want to leave. Staying at your cozy place while reconnecting with old family and friends made our together time more special. We ate fresh, hot lobster to our heart's content, napped in the hammock, paddled all over the lake and too distracted to read, I sat for hours lakeside the adirondack chairs just gazing out at the beautiful scenery. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. I will make sure to recommend this spotless, cute little getaway to my friends and family. Bob and Kristen were fantastic hosts. We will be back!
