My husband, twin 4.5 year old daughters, and our seven year old pup were fortunate enough to stay at Brent and Sarahâs Loons Nest cottage for two incredible weeks and cannot recommend it enough.
The cottage itself is lovely; the listing pictures do not do it justice. The kitchen is well-equipped, the living room area is beautiful with bright skylights and fabulous views of the dock and lake. The dock and steps down to the lake were perfectly situated for my family - with the recommended water shoes we could all easily and comfortably get into the clear, warm (while we were there) water for swimming, floating, kayaking, etc.
The back porch, picnic table, and fire pit were wonderful. Having the laundry room right on the first floor was very helpful and the downstairs bedroom is so serene. The upstairs bedrooms were also great and comfortable and we very appreciated having fans in the second bedroom, and window unit ac in the primary bedroom. Both bathrooms were good, the downstairs stall shower was key for washing off after the lake and really nice to have that laundry right next to the shower to toss in wet bathing suits and towels. We were in the lake at least twice a day for all but one day during our stay when it was raining.
While staying here we saw three eagles flying around together, many loons, shooting stars, went to an amazing state fair, participated in a loon calling contest, went to the townâs annual bean hole supper, and just generally reveled in the wonder that is the lake, town, and surrounding areas.
Brent and Sarah could not have been nicer. They were very helpful whenever we had a question and just generally good people.
Lastly, every single night there we saw the most amazing sunsets we had ever seen until the next night. We completely fell in love with Great Pond, the Belgrade lakes region, and will be back again and again.
