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 youplan 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!

    This is a little slice of heaven in a very beautiful part of Maine. The Loons Nest is a window to beautiful Green Lake. The floor to ceiling wall to wall windows overlooking the lake give you the feeling you are nestled right there in nature. The fire pit is perfectly situated to enjoy and still enjoy the lake. You can continue to watch it from your room when you decide to go in. We really enjoyed being serenaded by the loons in the morning and the sunrise was a breathtaking way to wake up to, Dave and Donna are wonderful hosts. They give you the privacy you want but are very accessible for any questions or suggestions. I would highly recommend this property for your trip to Maine.

    The host(s) were phenomenal. Truly a relaxing get-away. If you prefer a private, quiet, and overall low-key experience I recommend! The room was beautifully decorated, the bathroom was clean and everything in the cabinet was well thought out, the “kitchen” area was adorable and perfect, and the property outside provided an immaculate view- with a super relaxing hot tub! We came during the winter, so we couldn’t explore the lake. However, another trip is in the works so we can enjoy every part! Oh! The cookies they leave out are to DIE for!!!!10000/10

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.
