We had an incredible stay at The Loon’s Nest! Everything was great from the moment we arrived: check-in was a breeze and we enjoyed a complimentary welcome bottle of wine on the back deck overlooking the gorgeous lake! We had everything we needed for our stay and the entire cottage was very clean and had all new appliances. We definitely took advantage of being right on the water, using the kayaks provided and taking in the amazing views! I would recommend Loon’s Nest to anyone looking for a summer getaway on a quieter lake that’s still close to all the attractions of the surrounding Lakes Region. Would definitely stay again!
