Had a great stay at the loons nest for a girls weekend celebration! It accommodated us all comfortably, the deck was so nice and the fireplace with Adirondack chairs was perfect in the evening. Loved being able to take the kayaks out! A wonderful location, just a short walk to Lake Ann brewing and coffee in the morning- although the house is fully equipped for making your own! Wonderful home, kind and great communication with the owners and 10/10 would stay again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Great accomodations, clean and all needs were provided for. We were allowed to check in early and there was quick responses from the host when we had any questions. The location on the lake is lovely and would be wonderful in warmer weather. I highly recommend the property.
