Loon Lodge Maine

We have been staying at Loon Lodge almost every year for the past seven years. I'm not sure why it took me such a long time to post a review! My children have grown up going there each summer and consider the owners (Mr. Ray and Mrs. Leslie) like extended Grand-parents. To say it is a special place is an understatement. We have fed bald eagles, caught thousands of fish (I'm not exaggerating), hiked up fire towers and canoed and kayaked to our hearts content...and I didn't even mention yet that Mrs. Leslie is a phenomenal cook and Mr. Ray is a renowned huntsman. I agree with another poster, that I'm not sure why it's only a 2 star hotel...It's rustic and there might be a spider or two lingering on the porch, but isn't that all a part of the nostalgia? If my children were given the option of an all inclusive paid vacation anywhere in the world, they would choose Loon Lodge EVERY time.

An authentic North Maine Woods experience leaving one with an appreciation of the experiences of the earliest loggers & the settlers who followed them into the big, wild woods of Maine. Lakes & streams are all around LL and you can catch lots of fish or canoe many bodies of water including the ancient Allagash waterway. Wildlife sightings of moose, deer, loons, beavers, partridge and other species happen all day long whereever you travel. Ray & Leslie are thoughtful and considerate of their guests assisting on whatever activities they may pursue. Canoeists can easily enjoy quiet ponds or get out on the big water. Bird & deer hunters have vasts tracts to stalk and most days see no other hunters in the woods except their own party. Ray & Leslie work very hard for their guests and LL is for anyone seeking the real North Maine Woods experience.

Home away from home, I felt like family the first day I got here. RAY, LESLIE, BO, ANDREW, and EMILY are all amazing people, guides and friends.

A trip to one of the continental USA last wild place 1.4 million acres of wild land with bear and moose’s, would go back in a heartbeat your truly disconnected from the world it’s great time and experience

Loon lodge was absolutely phenomenal! Ray and Leslie are great people and truly care about their guests. The cabin was cozy and wood was readily available to make fires. We had a great time moose hunting, and Leslie kept us moving with some superb food. All the moose hunting guides are great as well - good people and truly care about helping you get that trophy. Location is fantastic, with Round Pond being right outside your window. Highly recommend - I will be visiting again in the future!!
