Feels like home

We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. It was beautiful and peaceful and felt like home. The host was wonderful and had left markers games for my 5 year old. There was wood for the fire pit and lots of swimming and exploration of both the property and the area. Wonderful time!

Wonderful vacation at Loon's Nest

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the cottage. It has a great cottage feel with all the wood inside, cute decor, screened porch and a nice yard. We took the canoe out to the lake many times, the water was amazing.Pam is a great host, she provided lots of information and useful tips before the trip. She made sure we are all set up and know what's waiting, so much so that we didn't need to ask anything else once we arrived. It was very helpful, thank you for that.We enjoyed our time so very much and would love to return.

Great View!

Spent a fantastic few days at Pam's cottage. The cottage is old style but very well maintained and all the amenities are there. Water is not portable, but several large jugs of drinking water is provided. You also need to bring your own linens and towels. The cottage is located in a very quite bay. Water is usually very calm out front even when wind pickup further out. The view from the cottage is money. It is so relaxing sitting on the lounge chairs enjoying the view. But what we enjoyed most are the watercrafts provided. They are all excellent for paddling. Two seats are provided for the canoe. We went to the top of the lake and back and it's a 12.5 km trip. Bass are plentiful in the lake, but all are less than 1lb in size.

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves. It is a beautiful spot. We're working on the linen question but there aren't proper drying facilities yet. I appreciate your review and thank you for your kind comments.
