About this property

Immaculate Waterfront Studio Apt, kayaks, hot tub, 45 min. to Acadia

Get away from it all at our peaceful and immaculate studio apartment nestled in the trees just steps from pristine Green Lake. Enjoy two hundred feet of gorgeous waterfront on two lovely acres. We are on a well maintained unpaved road with little traffic, affording peace and quiet.
In the Loon's Nest, you'll find a comfortable queen sized bed that looks out on the lake. If you're an early riser, you can watch the sunrise from bed, but the door and windows all have blinds to lower if you plan to sleep in or nap. You're here to relax and rejuvenate! A microwave, small fridge, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, dishes and silverware are provided for light meal preparation. You have access to a gas barbecue grill as well. WiFi is provided.

No pets please and no smoking.

There are the two kayaks and a 15’ canoe available at the water's edge with life jackets provided.

Read and relax in the large hammock at the water’s edge or simply watch the leaves above you sway in the breeze. Take a long walk if you like. Swim in clean clear water at the end of our dock, where you can see 12 feet to the bottom. Green Lake is considered one of the premier lakes in Maine, with spring fed depths of up to 180 feet. Our dock is unusually spacious, with 2 Adirondack chairs at the end and two lounge chairs closer in. There are also additional lounge chairs on the lawn, providing plenty of places to relax.

If you decide to check out the area, Ellsworth is 15 minutes away. It has just about everything you might need or want. Small towns like Blue Hill, Surry, and Belfast are all less than an hour from our location and the city of Bangor is a half hour to our north.

The entrance to Acadia National Park is 40-45 minutes away, and has 45 miles of carriage trails to bike on (without road traffic) and gorgeous hiking trails that wind along the ocean or climb to amazing views. You can rent bikes or sea kayaks at several locations if desired. You might decide to drive to the top of Mt. Cadillac for a spectacular view, go whale watching, drive the scenic Park Loop Road, or enjoy charming towns like Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor.

After a day enjoying the Ellsworth area or Acadia National Park, come back and take a nice cool swim. There's a swim ladder at the end of our dock and the apartment has beach towels for your use. The Loon's Nest does not have a television; we’re hoping that you connect with nature during your stay. We have friends and family who continually turn down day trips when they're here; all they want to do is relax and enjoy our wooded lakeside setting. Whether you decide to explore our beautiful area by car, get active, or just relax, we want you to have a wonderful time!

The peace and quiet your looking for

My sister and I booked this beautiful site for traveling through New England for her birthday. I recommend this spot for any couple or best friends looking to get away for a little peace, quiet and reconnecting. I read a book, had a camp fire, went kayaking. Took gorgeous pictures and even sat in the hottub without having to step off the property. Maines best kept secret

A little slice of heaven

What a perfect little getaway to Maine. Donna and Dave are the most welcoming hosts. You will feel at home staying here. They have a comfy bed, kayaks to use, hot tub and a bbq. The lake is beautiful and we got to see our very own sunrise from it. It’s about 45 minutes to Acadia but an easy straight ride and local for all that you need. We will come again. Great place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle. Thank you again Donna and Dave.

Beautiful Lake, Kayaking and Hot Tub

A very helpful host on a very nice lake. We enjoyed a peaceful morning kayak ride and wound down the night in the hot tub when on the property. Otherwise, we spent our days at Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and then another trip to the Southwest Harbor with the convenient location.

Amazing Property! But read all details first!!!

This property was astounding, and my friend and I enjoyed staying there very much. The access to the dock was amazing, the space was comfortable, and the access to the hot tub and grill were great too. If you book this place, just be aware that there is NOT A KITCHEN! We did not realize this before arriving, and had a bunch of groceries that couldn't be stored. It is also on the owner's property, so they will be there. Overall, and amazing stay!

Immaculate place, wonderful location

We loved our stay. Location was wonderful proximity to hiking at Acadia daily. We enjoyed using the hot tub at night after a day of hiking. We ate dinner two nights at Helen’s restaurant portions were huge and dessert so yummy. Donna and Dave have created a relaxing environment and they are available to answer any questions. Rental is clean, tastefully decorated and includes the essentials with lots of thoughtful extras to make your stay enjoyable. .

Glamping at its finest!

We had a lovely time at the Loon's Nest. We spent an entire day on the dock and it was spectacular. Just the rest and relaxation my husband and I were looking for. The water is crystal clear, and they have 13 Loon's on the lake. Donna was very responsive with our requests. We had a camp fire every evening, cooked on their grill, and enjoyed the hot tub.

Amazing place and location!

Donna's place was nothing but amazing and awesome! The entire room is so cute and follows the theme of a loon, a bird that lives in the nearby lake. The place is so convenient in terms of location (right on the lake) and the amount of amenities that the property offers is endless (from kayaks to S'mores sticks). Donna and her husband were quick to respond to any questions or requests and delivered unbeatable and the best customer service. If you're ever in the area or exploring Acadia National Park, this is definitely the place to stay in!!!

Perfect hideaway from which to visit the area.

Donna and Dave treated us as treasured guests. The apartment was beautifully set up with absolutely everything we needed and more, even ingredients for smores. The hot tub was the perfect temperature and we enjoyed it each night. We made use of the fire pit and grill 2 nights. Communication was easy, the only problems we had were with the Stayz site. If we lived in the US we would return. We have precious memories of our visit.

Donna and Dave have put a lot of effort into delivering the best experience possible to their guests. It is evident in everything from the cleanliness of the property, to everything they supply you with during your stay. They are always available to answer any question you might have, and to assist you with anything you want to do during your stay. If you decide to book the Loon’s Nest you will not regret it for a second, but do it quickly before someone beats you to the punch.

Captured our hearts!

We are two seventy-somethings who love the outdoors, wanting a quick get-a-way where we could enjoy nature and relax, yet not have the hassle of camping. This sweet cozy little place, hidden away at the lake's edge, was all we could ask for and more. The studio apartment charmed us with its lake front view and cheerful design. The owners were so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed the hot tub, watching the birds and squirrels, and listening to the loons calls. We made a couple quick trips to Ellsworth to enjoy lunch and breakfast out and a bit of shopping, but basically we wanted to spend most of our time at the Loon's Nest. We do plan to return, this place has captured our hearts!

Beautiful Setting and Peaceful Retreat!

Donna and her husband were so warm, welcoming and kind. So many thoughtful touches and comforts inside and out. Very clean and comfortable suite - homemade cookies, chocolates on my pillow and other treats were awaiting my arrival. The waterfront area and views are gorgeous and I met the local loon. Comfortable chairs to sit in on the dock. They really thought of everything. Cozy and homey. Donna’s husband even had the fire pit burning brightly upon my arrival back at the lake one evening. I look forward to returning in the near future! Thank you for sharing your wonderful lakeside oasis!

A real gem

Everything about this place was wonderful. Donna and Dave warmly greeted us when we arrived and made us feel so welcome. This was our first trip to Maine and Donna gave us information to help us plan our trip in advance, being very responsive to emails and texts. The property is beautiful and serene. You’ll have a view of the lake from your room. Donna and Dave were very gracious to allow us to walk on their dock, use their kayaks, and use their hot tub! The apartment itself was very nicely set up, and Donna has stocked it with everything you might need. it’s obvious she pays close attention to detail and wants to ensure her guests enjoy their stay. Wherever I go and whatever room I book, I would be fortunate to find places as lovely and hosts as gracious. I would come back to this place over and over if in this part of Maine again.

Exceeded my expectations!

This place is so much better than the pictures. As soon as I arrived, I walked down the dock to take in the view. Incredibly beautiful and peaceful. And the apartment is more spacious than I anticipated. Donna was very communicative and periodically checked in with me to make sure I had everything I needed. I explored the town center of Ellsworth one day. Lots of nice shops and restaurants. Acadia National Park is about an hour drive or less. Amazing area. A must see. I enjoyed spending time in the apartment and on the lake just relaxing. I came up from Boston. So it was nice to get away to find some peace. I hope to visit again during the warmer months.
