Description
A charming early 1900s lakeside cottage in the Rangeley Lakes Region of northwest Maine with lots of mountains and water. The cottage is on pristine Loon Lake, 4.4 miles (7 km) from the Town of Rangeley. Loon Lake has nesting loons and therefore does not allow any boats with motors so as not to disturb the loons. Canoe and kayak along with paddles and life vests are provided
The cottage has a screened in front porch with sectional sofa and chairs with wonderful views of the lake and private dock. The kitchen is fully applianced and firewood is provided for the fireplace in the living/dining area. The bathroom has an antique claw foot tub with shower. Downstairs bedroom has newer queen size bed and upstairs has two newer single beds with skylights above. All sheets, towels, pillows and blankets provided. There is a washer/dryer room as well.
In town there is a movie theater, multiple restaurants, tennis courts, library and various shops. The surrounding area has many trails for hiking and enjoying the views of the numerous lakes. Power and sail boats can be rented on Rangeley Lake.

“Beautiful”
What a peaceful, quiet, lovely place. Really charming, very well equipped, historic cottage. The lake has no motors, so a psir of loons joined us daily. Very nice swimming, and enjoyed the canoe. Stev… More

Response from the owner It is always such a pleasure to host people who appreciate the unique setting of Loon Lake. I have tried to make sure all amenities are there so that guests, if they so choose, could literally stay at the lake the whole time without ever having to go to town. This said, it's great when one does take advantage of the town, one of the first lakeside resort communities in the state. I cannot wait to welcome back guests such as these and I hope to make it even more memorable.

Response from the owner Knowing that one of these guests is a well known landscape artist, I was thrilled that she was able to spend time here. I'm glad that they took full advantage of what was available both in the cottage and the natural setting. Their departure made me question if they had actually stayed there in light of how clean it was. I have been lucky to have hosted many wonderful guests and these people will always be welcome to return.

Response from the owner This guest was a real pleasure to host. She left the place immaculate, more than one could ask for and was wonderful to communicate with.

Response from the owner Nancy and Roger were wonderful guests and were a pleasure to deal with. They took amazing care of it and I would urge anyone to definitely host them in the future. As for the size of the cottage, it is not a place for 7 people, but as they stated, they managed well. For those considering having a group larger than 4 people, I suggest looking at my other home adjacent to this one under the listing: "Unique Two-Story Log Cabin on Special Lake" that is quite a bit bigger and has two bathrooms. I hope Nancy and Roger will consider it in the future and it would be a pleasure to host them in either home.

Response from the owner It's rare when someone gets to host two superb musicians so this was a treat. Knowing their intense performing schedule, I was happy that they could take the time to get away and unwind. As has been the case with others, I wondered if in fact they had stayed there. They left the place in the condition they found it; what more could an owner ask for. Anyone who is considering hosting them would be making a very sound decision and hopefully will have the pleasure of meeting them as well.

Response from the owner What wonderful guests! I honestly didn't know they had been there in light of how nice they left the place. Communication with them was a flawless and they should be welcome in any home they seek to visit. It is always a pleasure and honor to host people who truly appreciate this unique environment. There's nothing else to say.
