The Loon's Nest in Monmouth is such a wonderful get away. The lake is beautiful with lots of wildlife to see: osprey, eagles, mink, chipmunks, beaver, and of course the loons. We loved hearing their serenades. Bring your camera. You'll get some great shots. There is plenty of room for everyone with comfortable beds, (one is firm) and lots of places to gather like the big comfortable kitchen table, the TV room, or the sprawling front lawn. Steve has all kinds of "toys" for the water and plenty of life jackets of all sizes. My husband LOVED the fishing! He used the boat but actually caught some of his best fish right off the dock. (a 6 pound bass: his personal best.) We swam, fished, read in the shade. It was just plain delightful! The kitchen is larger than it looks in the photos. I love to cook and found everything I needed. We shopped at Hanaford's super market, just 5 mins away. (The drinking/tap water is excellent.) Everything we needed was there: spices, paper towels, coffee filters, trash bags, soaps, TP, flashlights, games, playing cards, puzzles, and lots of books (fabulous reading library.) FYI, we all connected to WiFi and had great service all week. You couldn't ask for a better host than Steve: easy communications and great information. We will be returning to Loon's Nest to make even more lifetime memories.
