Beautifully relaxing

Laughing Loon is perfectly situated on beautiful Hancock Pond. It feels tucked away from everything except trees and water. A great place to unwind.

Lake Life at its best

We had a lovely stay at this well appointed property. Its location on the water was secluded and peaceful. My kids absolutely loved paddling around on the kayaks and catching toads on the well mainted grounds. We would love to come stay again!

Perfect home in the Lake Region

We really enjoyed our stay at the Laughing Loon! The home is beautiful and very clean and well-stocked. Rebecca was also a helpful and thoughtful host. Hancock Pond is a gorgeous and peaceful lake so if you are looking for a more remote, quiet location this home is for you! The town of Bridgton is nearby (20 min) and is a very cute and quaint town. We also took day trips to Portland and Kennebunkport and they are just an hour way so the location was really ideal for us. We hope to return someday to the Laughing Loon! And added bonus was kayaking on the lake and seeing loons close by!

Perfect winter weekend

We had a relaxing, peaceful stay at Laughing Loon. There was ample space for the six of us, plenty of heat for a snowy, January weekend, and the loveliest views of the lake. We especially enjoyed sitting by the fire, playing games, and looking out the huge windows to see the people fishing on the ice and bald eagles flying by. It was the perfect spot for our family gathering, and the hosts were super easy to communicate with. We would love to return - highly recommend!

Beautiful home on a beautiful lake

We had a wonderful time celebrating my mom‘s 80th birthday at this gorgeous lake house. We used the kayaks and canoes multiple times, roasted s’mores, and sang songs around the fire pit, and cooked some delicious meals in the well appointed kitchen. The lovely owner was super welcoming and very helpful with all questions. I highly recommend this house for a wonderful retreat.

A great place to stay that for a relaxing family vacation!

We had a fantastic stay at the Laughing Loon! Our family of 4 plus 2 young kids had a blast, relaxing and cooking breakfast, kayaking in the huge lake, exploring the surrounding secluded towns, and taking in everything Maine has to offer. If you're looking for seclusion and a great time away from the stressful life at home, this is the place to stay. We can't wait to come back!

Such a great time!

Thanks to Rebecca and Bill! A wonderful visit at a beautiful home/location. The foliage was at its peak, Fryburg Fair was so fun, restaurants where great(lobster, clams, haddock, pizza and Italians!). Kayaking, reuniting with family and friends, fire pit, and and just setting at the large bay window viewing the view was absolutely magical. We travel a lot and this home was a 5 out of 5!

Laughing Loon Stay

Four adults stayed at the lake house very comfortably. Lots of room and nicely decorated. Bluetooth speaker available for your music. The house was so wonderful with large windows everywhere overlooking the beautiful lake. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and condiments etc. Bathrooms had shampoos /conditioners available. Good hiking nearby. Kayaks and canoe and paddle boat were available as well. Loved using the fire pit at night. Thank you Rebecca for renting your lovely lake house to us.

Yet again another beautiful and bountiful stay at Bill and Rebecca’s laughing loon. It had everything we needed and the fish were biting. We even saw multiple bald eagles and some other large eagle/hawk species we could not identify. Thank you for a special week!

Happy New Year!

We just returned home from a wonderful winter getaway at Laughing Loon. Our family had such a great time staying at the property. From the very first email, to arriving at the lake- Rebecca and her husband helped create a very memorable New Years for our family of four (kids 7 and 9). Their welcoming approach, hospitality and friendly communication set the stage for a great getaway! The house was beautiful! It was spotless upon entering, very spacious yet still felt cozy enough for our family movie night by the fire. Nothing could top waking up to the sun sparkling down on the snow blanketing the lake. We couldn’t decide what we enjoyed more- the beautiful views from the large windows, curling up in the comfortable beds with a book in hand or sipping a glass of wine by the gas fireplace. As for the surroundings, your property is absolutely beautiful. Very quiet and peaceful yet close to Shawnee Peak for a day of skiing. It was a true sense of life on the lake during winter. Thank you again, you provided a very special place for our family to ring in the New Year. Looking back, it will be nice to remember the good times and the family fun we shared admin the difficult past year. Stay safe and be well! Looking forward to returning to the lake in the future!

Relaxing and Beautiful

The Laughing Loon is a very special and comfy place to stay with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Comfy beds and a well stocked kitchen are wonderful. Rebecca and Bill are super sweet and helpful hosts who really want you to enjoy your time. We loved the new renovation and firepit! Well done! Even enjoyed fishing off the dock. We will definitely plan to be back for our 3rd visit. 5 stars!!

Our Maine Getaway

This being our 5th VRBO property that we've rented we kinda knew what to expect but we were very pleasantly surprised with this location. We very much enjoyed the view from the house, but the view from the dock or 30 yards out in the kayaks was even better. in the evening sitting around the firepit listening to the loons call was like being in a movie, just perfect. Close enough to shop for necessities, but far enough away from all hustle and bustle. Our hosts, Rebecca and Bill were very responsive to every question, greeted us and called to wish us a safe journey as we were leaving. Great folks! Great location! Great vacation!

The perfect lake house

This property is everything you could ask for in a lake house. Beautiful views, spacious living areas with lots of room for reading, puzzles and games. The lake is so peaceful and we enjoyed the loons and kayaking and swimming. The grounds are well maintained with a stone firepit overlooking the lake. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Gould

Host profile image
Our family has been vacationing and making memories here for over 25 years. This is our second property on Hancock Pond - our little slice of paradise.

Why they chose this property

Laughing Loon is adjacent to our own vacation home on Hancock Pond. We purchased it in 2016 in order to accommodate our growing extended family reunions. In 2016 and 2017, we extensively renovated the house with fresh paint, new floors throughout, new lighting, new grill, new drilled well access, new state of the art heat pump system for heating and AC, new furniture and mattresses, new dock stairs and waterfront restoration, and new TV/internet access. In 2019, we continued our renovation with the addition of a new living room and kitchen, more skylights and a cedar entry closet.
We are proud to welcome our own family here and believe that you will be delighted as well.

What makes this property unique

Laughing Loon is on the water with gorgeous unobstructed views of the lake from the porch, living room and two of the bedrooms. You will relish starry nights and visiting loons, fragrant pines and ample privacy, and build happy memories around the firepit.
