"Loon Cottage" on Sand Pond

Loon Cottage offers comfort, natural beauty, seclusion, and relaxation! Located down a private lane of seldom-used, vintage Maine camps, our cottage sits just steps from serene Sand Pond, with a private dock and lake frontage. The camp has been completely updated with new windows, new appliances, new linens, and fresh paint. The open layout includes a large kitchen, dining area, plenty of lounging space, two bedrooms and one full bath with an efficiency washer and dryer. Enjoy the wide lake views, water-side deck, picnic table, gas grill, dock, canoe and kayak! Guests will have access to a newly-built shed with oars and life vests (child and adult sizes), as well as high-speed internet. Sand Pond encompasses 61 acres, where the loons and turtles are more common than motor boats, and the sandy bottom makes for great swimming. The village of Cornish lies a short drive west, with antique shops, popular restaurants, and supermarket; to the east lies Sebago Lake and its popular summertime attractions. Excursions of an hour or less lead to Portland's Old Port, hiking trails in the White Mountains, or outlet shopping in North Conway, NH.
Please note the limit of one dog per reservation.
We highly recommend bringing your own drinking water. Well water in our area is potable but heavily mineralized, doesn’t taste great, and is slightly discolored.

Enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was clean and comfortable for the four of us. Setting was mostly quiet and relaxing. Location was great for us-went to Bayview Beach one day (they allow dogs) and to North Conway on the cloudy day. Would definitely stay again. Also, owner was great on communication.

Loon Cottage was an amazing get away. Location on the pond was perfect, quiet and the view from the cottage and dock amazing. We found the cottage exactly as described , very clean and had everything we needed for a perfect week away. The only negative was the swimming spot had a lot of old leaves underneath the water, but we raked them away and found perfect sand to walk on.

Nice cabin in an ideal setting on the pond. Sunsets were gorgeous. Kitchen is well equipped. All the romance of sitting on the end of a dock!

Wonderful vacation!

This home was lovely! We settled in immediately and relaxed. It has everything you need and was very clean. The pond was perfect for fishing, kayaking canoeing and paddle boarding. Lisa & Erik were great. I would definitely recommend vacationing here!

A very nice “camp”

Had a great week at the cabin. All things the owner could control were good as promised. The cabin is very nicely appointed with pictures and fixtures you would expect to see at such a place. The grounds are well kept and the dock was in god shape. The only thing keeping this from a five star is weather which they couldn’t control. If I saw it in 75 and sunny I am sure I would have said a five.

Review for Loon Cottage on Sand Pond

The cabin was very clean when we arrived. The beds were very comfortable. The cabin has everything you need including many things in the kitchen to make meals if you want to. Towels, sheets, blankets, and swim towels were also provided. We enjoyed using the paddle boards and paddle boats. The pond was great for swimming and boating. The cabin has windows on all sides so we enjoyed lots of fresh air. It was also very quiet, restful, and peaceful on the pond.

Peaceful Getaway

This cottage was lovely! Neat and clean with simple non-cluttery decor. It has everything you need. We loved being so close to the water, where we spent most of our time. Kitchen had space in cabinets for our food. Loved that there wasn't a bunch of old, random leftover stuff in the fridge or cabinets. Great fishing on the pond, ice cream nearby. Perfect getaway! Host was responsive; great communication. They take great care of this property. We would definitely go back.
