We had a great time at Sarah & Brents property. We appreciated having the whole family together down to the doggos. It was nice and quite at the place and provided a great place to recharge. The hosts were great with communication and the house had many helpful household items for the stay.

We had a wonderful weeklong stay at this property. The cabin is spacious and the beds very comfortable. The location was great and the sunset views spectacular. The kitchen had a lot of room for cooking and the large fridge was a big plus. The cabin was clean and well maintained and the hosts were very responsive to all our inquiries. We would definitely stay here again for our next Maine vacation.

Camp was amazing, hosts made it very easy to get checked in with awesome communication. When we arrived camp was clean and ready for us to enjoy. There was plenty of space and great lake front area with a small kayak to use to ferry boats to mooring. Hosts were super awesome and they even offer adventure excursions which I highly recommend--super fun! Hosts made us feel like we were at home! Can't wait to come back again next year!

It was so nice to be able to take our dogs on vacation. The location was ideal for taking hikes with our dog while our friends dog Sean in the lake all day. Sarah was great at responding to all of my questions.

Favorite Place

Fourth time we’ve rented Loons Nest and first time since the pandemic. The house is great and the waterfront is really good for swimming and kayaking ( we rented a kayak from Maine Paddling Connections). Sunsets aren’t too shabby either. The owners are very pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend.

Wonderful!

This was our third year in a row spending most of August at the wonderful Loons nest! Brent and Sarah are great and responsive hosts. The views and water are incomparable and the cabin itself has all of the modern conveniences while maintaining a rustic charm. It is one of our favorite places in the world and hope to be back next year!

Our favorite Lake

Great location on the lake, house was clean and perfect for our family of four. We had too put the boat on a mooring which was not preferred but it worked out. We felt like we had everything we needed and the owners live next door in case you need anything.

On Golden Pond

Our stay at Hatch Cove was wonderful. The cabin is spacious with many windows overlooking the lake. The weather was gorgeous 85 and sunny, which didn’t hurt. And listening to the loons at night was enchanting. I reached out to the host a couple times with questions and they were prompt and pleasant.

Fantastic Lake House

We absolutely loved this place. Roomy two story cabin with lots of character, space, and exposed wood walls and ceilings, like something your grandparents might have owned. Right on the lake, with a small dock, fire pit, Adirondack chairs, charcoal grill, and covered porch. Excellent, open kitchen and adjoining dining and living room, with a view of the lake. Go swimming, and hear the loons at night.

Fabulous Camp

Expected a rustic camp that is common on the lake but what we found was a wonderfully up-to-date cabin with all the amenities one could hope for. Directly on the water with great sunset views and ample room on the dock for a boat. Wi-fi and cable TV worked flawlessly. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better vacation spot.
