The Little Loon Cabin on Donnell Pond was a lovely getaway. The listing didn’t do the cabin and atmosphere justice. Mornings on the water were beautiful. Fall colors were mirrored on the pond. It was such a quiet and meditative space, perfect for reading, writing, and just being. From the early morning loon calls to the stars in the evenings - it was perfect. I especially enjoyed the book collection and having the opportunity to read about Dan's mother was extra special.

We stayed 1 week during our trip to Acadia. The property was accurately listed (photos were reflective). The cabin was a good size for my husband and I. I think if you had 4 people stay here it would have also been fine. It was nice having two bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, cookware, and spices/cooking necessities. It was REALLY nice having laundry available, as well. As far as location… it was perfect for us. Situated right on beautiful Donnel pond at the end of a little road where it was secluded and peaceful. About 45-50 min to bar harbor/acadia which isn’t bad. Plus, we were comparable distance to Schoodic Point which was great. Didn’t explore the area too much around Donnell Pond, but would have loved to if we had more time! Minor complaints:- The osmosis filter may have needed changing, as water only came out at a drip. I’d recommend bringing bottles water, since the faucet water comes from pond. - Couldn’t get the hot water to work in the master bedroom. However, we used the other shower and thus never really tried hard to trouble shoot it (coulda been a user error).- shower curtain in smaller bathroom likely needs changing as it was a bit moldy. - wish we coulda opened windows to let in some fresh air in bedroom. I’d say this cabin felt very “campy” which is fun and it’s the vibe. Other things we enjoyed: - large master bedroom with beautiful lake views. - the dock w/ a nice view and chair- the porch w/ nice furniture to relax

This lake adventure was perfect for us.We kayacked and swam.The camp is just the most comfortable cabin.Sitting on the decks watching ,the birds the boats and the changes in daylight was great.Easy access to Ellsworth and Milbridge made this the right location for us.We would come back any season.Thank you, Alison

Little Loon on Donnell Pond was a wonderful time and highly recommended place to stay! This is not a new cottage so it is rustic but with lots of modern conveniences. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.Dan was a fabulous host, who provided lots of information on the house and the area. All our questions were answered prior to booking and concerns during the rental were handled quickly.The view of the lake from the master bed is amazing and will be greatly missed... until next time. Especially in the morning with the mist rising from the water. The cottage is tucked into trees but retains great views from the livingroom and porches. With the hummingbird feeder filled, we had lots of hummingbirds to watch. There were also loons and eagles seen by the house.This was a great base to explore downeast Maine... we didn't have time to see everything we had hopes but that just means we will need to return another year. Our trip included a day trip into New Brunswick Canada.We definitely recommend Little Loon if you are looking for a quiet, lakeside rental in the Downeast!
