Amazing!!

We had such a lovely time on the lake, and Chap was super friendly and communicative. So peaceful and the kids loved being right on the water!! Very comfortable cabin, everything you could possibly need and easy access to all the mid coast Maine magic. 😎

Great lake house in a great location

This lake house was everything we had hoped it would be. The house was secluded, and very private. The dock was large with plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the lake and the stars at night. Great swimming area clear of weeds, debris, etc. There's a nice screened in porch with new high top table furniture, perfect little hang out spot while you aren't down at the water. The large TV was a great addition for late night movies. Kitchen is clean and fully equipped for whatever you'd like to prepare, gas grill up on the porch also came in handy. There's a private outdoor shower with both hot and cold running water. We didn't think we'd use it much at first but we ended up using it exclusively rather than the showers inside the house. All of the bedrooms had air conditioning which made sleeping very comfortable. We did some fishing right off of the dock and landed some smallmouth bass and white perch. Our week was warm but there is a beautiful fire place with plenty of wood available if a cold day comes along. The host, Chap, was also very responsive and stayed in touch with us by text periodically during the week to make sure everything was ok. We really had no complaints about this property, we had a great week and really enjoyed our stay.

When visiting Maine, the Kistler Lodge is the place to stay at!

This rental property was nothing short of a dream. The cabin was spacious, clean and inviting, and we started to relax from the moment we walked through the front door. The beds were comfy, the atmosphere was cozy, and the central kitchen quickly became our main gathering area. Situated on a beautiful lake with a private dock, there were endless options for fun with a water trampoline, paddle boats, kayaks and canoe. We also enjoyed a nice glass of wine on the dock while admiring the gorgeous sunset many nights. In the the morning, the screened-in porch was the perfect setting for a morning coffee and a little bird watching. The host, Chap, and his wife were so friendly and gracious, and recommended several great restaurants and interesting activities in the area of Newcastle and Damariscotta. The location is central to many fun options, whether you decide to stay low key, or venture out to Main Street to peruse the shops or catch a delicious bite. It was hard to leave, and we are already making plans to return next year! Many thanks to the Kistlers for sharing their incredible cabin with us, and making us feel right at home!

Pictures don't do it justice!

This lakefront home is incredible! Pictures don't do this home justice. The large living room & kitchen overlooking the lake was just what my family needed for a relaxing getaway. We were provided a ton of wood so we make fires in the beautiful fireplace every night. The dock is beautiful & the available kayaks/paddleboards for renter use made our time exploring the lake so special. My son & I also caught some nice fish right off the dock! My wife loved how close the home was to grocery stores & downtown shopping. Cannot recommend this place more. Thank you Chap for your hospitality! Your special place helped us create memories that will last us a lifetime. Can't wait to book for a longer stay next summer!

Lakefront Bliss

Our time at The Lodge was the just what we needed: pure heaven. The weather was fantastic and the lake was warm. We enjoyed the house and all it has to offer. From early morning SUP to family dinners- our experience was magical. Thanks to Chap and Kim for another magical Maine summer vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Chap Kistler - Owner of THE LODGE

Kim and I, along with Macauley and Cory call this HOME. We live full time in Colorado, but Maine is our get away where we try to spend as much time as possible.

With us living all across the country, we don't get to Loon's Call Lodge as often as we'd like. Our loss is your gain!

Why they chose this property

This is our Late-Spring, Summer, and Early-Fall retirement plan. We love this area & the memories we have here.

What makes this property unique

Fishing, swimming, boating, breakfast at Moody's Diner, and relaxing top the list!

After that, we select from a thousand other things to do from shopping in Freeport (home of LL Bean) to trips to the ocean to watch the crashing waves and wild life.

Best of all are the several pairs of Bald Eagles that nest on the lake!
