North Jay Cottage | Lake House with Swim Area, Dock, Deck, Canoe, & Paddle Boat - 1BR+, Sleeps 4-6

1 Bedroom Cottage in North Jay, Chesterville

Loon's Nest was purchased in the spring of 2017 and renovated to be family friendly, open, and comfortable! It's a great small cottage for a family or couple to enjoy the lake and all it has to offer!
We purchased and renovated our first house on Norcross Pond in 2016 (a 3BR+ down the lake - VRBO#886930) and were so excited when this smaller camp came up for sale on the same lake in 2017! We spent the spring of 2017 renovating have had a house full of guests since then! We hope you enjoy sharing our Maine getaway. You can see some of the renovation and lake photos on Instagram @LoonsNestMaine
House: The main living and gathering space is on the upper floor (kitchen, dining, living room with pull out sectional, and full bathroom), downstairs is one bedroom (queen bed, pull out full size sofa bed, and desk). Bedroom also has room for a pack and play (available upon request). Both levels have huge windows that overlook the lake and the new deck. There is a full kitchen equipped for cooking and a new oven, stove, and fridge in 2024. The house has a re-built deck, morning coffee area off the front of the house, and a "happy hour" deck down towards the beach. There is a small front patio (non-lake side) with a charcoal grill and seating area as well. Also, if you're coming with little ones, there is plenty of baby/toddler gear available if needed (high chair, pack and play, books, crayons, paper, games, toys, kids plates/cups/bowls/etc).
Note: The house does have stairs from the street to the house, in the house, and to get to the lake. Be sure that you are comfortable with this and able to navigate steps easily before booking.
Lakefront and Lake Description: Stairs lead from the house to a private beach area with dock, canoe, and paddle boat available for use (included). Norcross Pond is one mile long with camps and homes along one side only – keeping the lake quiet. Water is clear and the lake has a sandy bottom for great swimming. Speed boats, pontoon boats, and jet skis are allowed, but since the lake is small you don't gets boats out all day. A boat ramp is available if you want to bring your own boat to park at the dock (note, the boat ramp is dirt and steep). The lake is full of bass, perch, and stocked with trout, so bring your fishing rods no matter what season you visit. There are also nearby places for blueberry picking, hiking, movies, ice cream, restaurants, etc. The lake is amazing for fall foliage and is in close proximity to Mount Blue, Tumbledown, and Other hiking mountains for fall.
