The Loons Retreat is a well designed smaller camp with a very well stocked kitchen, a deliciously comfy bed and a perfect western view room with full size windows overlooking the slope down to the dock and lake. That great room has cozy spots to sit and enjoy my morning coffee and a substantial wooden table for meals and planning daily explores. That table reminded me of happy times sitting at my grandparents’ kitchen table….. warm, and inspiring dreams and peace.Carol met us shortly after our arrival and generously offered the use of her dock as well as a kayak should I feel so inclined. The “locals” - a boisterous red squirrel who sat in the pine branches dining on an acorn, a small collection of wild ducks who made sure anything edible along the shoreline was well controlled and a pair of loons with one little one…….out further on the lake, occasionally offering their editorial comments…….. it was a great respite from my normal routine.I’m looking forward to a return visit next year.

Absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage. The place was very clean and very comfortable, it was quiet and peaceful as advertised and there was great communication with Carol, the host, who made us feel welcome and comfortable the whole time. The lake was amazing, plenty of kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming and a perfect place to relax and unwind. Will definitely be booking another stay next year.

A Wonderful Cabin Stay

We had a great time at this cute cabin on Pleasant Pond. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed hanging on the dock and watching the pair of loons and their chick. Looking forward to returning!

This cottage was clean and fulfilled our expectations for a quiet place, accepting of our golden retriever. Our hostess was warm and pleasant. The loons were spectacular as were the sunsets. We would highly recommend this place to those looking for quiet and calm.

Beautiful Rustic Location on Scenic Pond

We really enjoyed our stay here. Everything was well maintained on the property and the owner was very responsive on a couple items we asked about. The location is quiet and has a beautiful view of the pond with a small dock for your kayaks/canoes. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway on the water.

Anniversary trip to slow down and reconnect. Lovely views and quiet peaceful surroundings but not too far out of the way to enjoy nearby bigger cities or grab essentials at the grocery. Thankful to owner for sharing this wonderful place for a restful stay!

Property as described, a very cozy getaway right on the lake. Kitchen is well stocked. We canoed the lake, and some of the notable wildlife we saw included loons, barred owls, and a fisher. Great hiking nearby also. Host communicated very well, and check-in couldn't have been easier. Thank you!

The perfect Maine camp

Had a great time staying here at Carol’s camp in Turner, ME. Quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The porch overlooking the water was our favorite spot to begin and end our day. Thanks!
