Lake House with Swim Area, Dock, Deck, Canoe, & Paddle Boat (1BR+, Sleeps 6)Loon’s Nest was recently purchased in the spring of 2017 and renovated to be family friendly, open, and comfortable! It’s a great cottage for a family or couple to enjoy the lake and all it has to offer!We purchased and renovated our first house on Norcross Pond in 2016 (a 3BR+ down the lake – VRBO#886930) and were so excited when this smaller camp came up for sale on the same lake in 2017! We spent the spring of 2017 renovating and had a full house of guests all summer and fall! We hope you enjoy sharing our Maine getaway. You can see some of the renovation and lake photos on Instagram @LoonsNestMaineHouse: The main living and gathering space is on the upper floor (kitchen, dining, living room with pull out sectional, and full bathroom), downstairs is one bedroom (queen bed, pull out full size sofa bed, and desk). Bedroom also has room for a pack and play (available upon request). Both levels have huge windows that overlook the lake and the new deck. There is a full kitchen equipped for cooking and a vintage oven and cooktop that you’re sure to enjoy! The house has a re-built deck, morning coffee area off the front of the house, and a “happy hour” deck down towards the beach. There is a small front patio (non-lake side) with a charcoal grill and seating area as well.

Norcross Pond is one mile long with camps and homes along one side only – keeping the lake quiet. Water is clear and the lake has a sandy bottom for great swimming. Speed boats, pontoon boats, and jet skis are allowed, but since the lake is small you don’t gets boats out all day. A boat ramp is available if you want to bring your own boat to park at the dock (note, the boat ramp is dirt and steep). The lake is full of bass, perch, and stocked with trout, so bring your fishing rods no matter what season you visit. There are also nearby places for blueberry picking, hiking, movies, ice cream, restaurants, etc. The lake is amazing for fall foliage and is in close proximity to Mount Blue, Tumbledown, and Other hiking mountains for fall.Local Things to Do: hiking, blueberry/strawberry/apple picking, movie theater, ice cream, lobsters, restaurants, markets, festivals, fair, antique shops, biking, breakfast at the Post Office Café (a must!), skiing, snowmobiling, and more.Nearby Excursions: Farmington, Belgrade Lakes, Mount Blue, multiple ski mountains, Sandy River Railroad, DEW Animal Farm, Norlands Living History Center, Golf (Turner Highlands, Sandy River, Wilson Lake, and others), U Maine Farmington events, and more.
