2024 Fishing Trip
We booked Loon Song for our annual friend’s fishing trip. The place exceeded our expectations and Alberta and Bill were so welcoming and kind. The place easily accommodated us all comfortably and the location was amazing! We’re already talking about booking it again next year. Thanks again Alberta and Bill!

Beautiful Main Lake Home
This house exceeded our expectations, it not only had everything but the resources to use it. Our 10 year old spent hours in the Art Studio, everyone used the Kayaks and Paddleboards and the teenagers even put down their phones to use them. We spent a great of time in the screen porch over looking the Lake and having down family time. I would definitely put this property on your lifetime bucket list.

Simply not enough superlatives to describe Loon Song!
Our extended family group had such a lovely time here! Our hosts Alberta and Bill were attentive to our needs but always respectful of our privacy. Thank you for setting up and showing us how to use the wood-fired pizza oven. Best pizza ever! Other favorite activities were kayaking and swimming in beautiful Androscoggin Lake, fishing off the dock, hunting for frogs, an impromptu performance on the Loon Song stage, sitting. and talking on the screen porch and listening to the magical Loon Song from the lake! We also enjoyed a camp out in the teepee. Trips to the farm stand for the best berries and Ice cream from Tubbies. We will have fond memories of this vacation for years to come.

Absolute Perfection!
The pictures don't do this place justice! The location, privacy, lake, yard, art studio, beach area and the amazing outdoor kitchen are a combination unlike any other lake house I have rented. Bertie and Bill (the owners) were beyond welcoming and truly wanted to ensure we have a wonderful week. We had 3 families with kids ranging from 2-10. We spent the week enjoying the lake, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, using the art studio, playing baseball games in the yard, and enjoying family breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the outdoor kitchen. LoonSong is amazing!

I can't rave enough about LoonSong! The perfect vacation!!
I don't know where to start - everything was fabulous! The house is beautiful and situated perfectly on a calm, warm lake. Bill and Alberta greeted us when we arrived and were wonderful hosts. They live in a separate house on the property and so are available when you need them and leave you to enjoy your own vacation when you don't. Our family of 5 were very comfortable through our whole stay. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, star gazing, roasting smores, fishing, boating, picking veggies in the garden, painting in the art studio, catching frogs, listening to the loons, reading on the screened in porch, having drinks on the chairs above the rocks, sleeping with the windows open, watching our kids put on dance shows on the stage, taking day trips to the shore and mountains, and much much more. We have stayed in many nice VRBOs and have taken many great vacations in our lives. But I do think this one was our favorite. Now that I'm writing about it, there's nothing I want more than to go back! Time to start looking at the calendar...

Spectacular vacation home for families
Tremendous spot for our two families with small children (0-10 years old). Highlights included: 1) a small sandy beach for swimming, sand play, and putting in the kayaks and row boat, 2) a wonderful outdoor kitchen and eating area - in addition to both gas and charcoal grills, there is also a beautiful stone wood oven which we used for pizzas, chicken, and bread making, 3) large screened in porch with dazzling views of the water, 4) well appointed kitchen with both high quality cookware and basic ingredients, 5) separate artists studio with supplies that we used for painting and clay making (as well as a sleeping space for our infant), 6) large lawn for playing games on (croquet, cornhole). Can't recommend this place more.

Beauty and hospitality abound
We rarely write reviews but felt inspired to do so for this property. The outdoor space was just beautiful and fun. We enjoyed the outside dining area with several grills and picnic tables, as well as the lake and the kayaks and paddle boards that are available. The gardens and artists shed are extra bonuses. The outdoor shower was a hit with our kids after a day on the lake. Most of all we cannot say enough good things about Bertie and Bill, the owners. Their sincere hospitality makes this a wonderful place for families.

Fishing get away
Great rental for our annual fishing trip on lake Androscoggin. Plenty of room for six people and a very comfortable home. The owner was onsite and super helpful as he had to work to get the docks in place for our 3 boats after having them damaged over the winter. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing lake front stay.

Fantastic Week! Great Fun for the Entire Family!
The Loon Song house on Androscoggin Lake is one of the most beautiful lake houses we've ever seen. It was roomy and homey, and we almost felt like we were living in a house that belonged to us. My wife, Pat, and I were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our two children, their spouses, and our four grandchildren, and we could not have found a more perfect place. Pat and I had the master bedroom on the second floor, complete with a balcony that overlooked the lake. Every morning, we'd get coffee downstairs and then come back up and sit on the balcony, enjoying the view. There was a beach with a nice swimming area, kayaks, and a canoe, but two of us have our own canoes, so we were all able to go out canoeing whenever we wanted. Nearby was a small nature preserve with a nice hiking trail, and we took advantage of that as well. Our son fished off the dock, our youngest grandson had a ball capturing frogs (and releasing them), our teenage grandchildren enjoyed sleeping in, and our daughter did her best to keep up with her two and half year-year-old bundle of energy (a girl, of course). About a 15 minute walk away was Tubby's, known for their homemade ice cream and lobster rolls, both of which were amazing. Try the "Wholey-Moley, which is a combination of molasses and peanut butter. Delicious! As a family, we played games, ate together, talked and laughed, but there was ample time for everyone to follow whatever individual pursuits they wished to do. Our hosts, Bill and Bertie Messor were the nicest, most wonderful folks. They had a house next door, and tried to keep a low profile. I had to badger Bill into playing a game of horseshoes because I like to play but seldom get a chance. There was a great outdoor eating area, complete with a large gas grill, as well as a charcoal grill and a stone oven for making pizzas. Also on the property was an outdoor stage (the youngest kids put on a short "pioneer" play), and nestled among beautiful flowers, and next to a small pond with water trickling over rocks, was a charming art studio that had a sofa bed, where our son and daughter-in-law chose to sleep. All-in-all, this truly was the best decision Pat and I made as the way to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We had a glorious time and the week simply flew by. Loon Song house is the perfect get-away. Thanks, and our heartfelt appreciation to Bill, Bertie, and their daughter, Natalie, who handled the reservation.

Disappointing experience - can’t recommend this rental property
This year, I decided to rent Loon Song, even though the rental rate was more than twice the price I had been paying for another rental on the lake. I expected this to be an outstanding rental and was excited to share it with my family. Unfortunately, the bad news started on Saturday morning when Natalie called me to let me know the cleaning company would not have the house ready at 4 PM - it would be closer to 4:30 PM. She also told me the gas grill in the outdoor kitchen wasn’t working but that her father would bring over a portable gas grill. The house wasn’t ready at 4:30 but the owner agreed to waive the cleaning fee, which was acceptable. The portable gas grill needed to be pressure washed and was not available for another day or two. The outdoor kitchen was dirty and in a state of disrepair. The gas grill and refrigerator were not working and we would have to wait for Althea to return on Tuesday or Wednesday to learn how to use the pizza oven. That lesson never happened. During the walk through of the house, there were burnt out lights in a ceiling fixture and the fan in the downstairs bathroom didn’t work. As I unloaded the car, the owner handed me a box of light bulbs. For the price I was paying, I should not have to change out lightbulbs. The septic alarm under the house went off twice. On Tuesday morning the owner came over to reset it. He then said he would teach me how to reset it before he left on a trip. That didn’t happen (and I shouldn’t have to do this). On Thursday night at 10:30, it went off again. Althea came over and said that I was having such bad luck that week but the good news was the money they got from the rental was helping children in Guatemala. No customer empathy (my vacation week was being impacted) and a completely tone deaf response to a major problem. Friday afternoon we came off the boat to learn more bad news - the bathrooms could not be used due to septic system repairs but we could use the bathrooms in the house next door. This was a disappointing week. The outdoor kitchen was non-functional. The pictures on the website show a much brighter interior and much “cleaner” wall space. The walls and shelves are filled with family photos, figurines, steins, etc. It is not a house where I would be comfortable hosting my young nieces and nephews. The positive feature of the house was the screened-in front porch. That’s where we spent most of our time. Given the issues, I can’t recommend Loon Song as a rental.

Loon Song...what a magical place!!
It is the perfect location to gather a large family. We were there to celebrate my daughter's Bates Graduation. Alberta and Bill greeted us upon arrival and went above and beyond to make our trip special. The view of the lake is breathtaking! We kayaked, fished, and swam daily. We even cooked up the fish that we caught! Following spectacular sunsets, we would dine al fresco at the beautiful tables. Then, we would enjoy s'mores around the fire pit. The outdoor pizza oven was a big hit...a fun way to get everyone involved. The house is well equipped with everything necessary. The property is well maintained and filled with gorgeous flowers. We also enjoyed daily walks to Tubby's for outstanding lobstah rolls and ice cream. It was truly a vacation we will never forget!!

Exceptional lake house with well-equipped kitchen.
Enjoyed our stay immensely. The home is styled in the old camp tradition. Lots of books and games. Bill and Alberta are very hospitable--they dropped off a pie and homemade strawberry ice cream and a jar of pickles. Our family also picked enough blueberries to make a pie! We walked with the teenagers almost daily to Tubbie's for ice cream. Explored short off road walk. Spent hours upon hours kayaking and paddleboarding (paddle boards delivered by Beacon Boat Rentals). One day we had the whole huge lake to ourselves. Another day we went via water to black sand beach for a picnic. Early morning coffees on the screened porch is a must. Pizza oven was used three times during our stay. Great place to get away.

Loon Song was a superb week-long event for our extended family!
The convenience, beauty, roominess, & home-iness of this outstanding lakeside exclusive cabin-lakehouse-home and the hospitality of owners Bill and Alberta Messer cannot be improved upon! That also included my six grandkids from SC and CA, ages 13-20 who especially loved the kayaking and playing both the old-fashioned upright piano and the pump organ, both in excellent condition--AND sleeping in the large and roomie "dorm room" upstairs. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer. As Bob Hope said, "Thanks for the memories"... of our 50th wedding anniversary and reunion with our very best and oldest friends and family "from away" as we say here in Maine. 5 bright and shining stars for Loon Song!

Family reunion
Family reunion of three generations and over 10 people at a time was great!! Alberta and Bill Messer were generous with their time and experience. We most appreciated learning how to use the outdoor pizza oven and our one pizza dinner was a huge success. Everyone had fun making their own pizza and every pizza was eaten. It's amazing how quickly they cooked. Swimming was comfortable for all and the offshore floating deck was a hit. Fishing from the dock resulted in one cusk but none of us are avid fishermen. Kayaks, canoe and a big bulky rowboat were available. The art studio was used by one couple of the oldest generation and they were comfortable inspite of having to come to the main house to use the bathroom. The children were challenged and happily busy all the time. Indoor toys, beach toys, outdoor stage, costumes, frog ponds, ice cream parlor within walking distance and lots of books for bedtime stories. This house if stuffed with family memorabilia, antiques and cookwear. We lacked for nothing except more kitchen shelf space to put our groceries. This was a wonderful family experience.

Charming lake house
The house was so great for my grandchildren. They caught fish off the dock and had a great time in the water. Screened in front porch was great place for listening to the loons at sunset and sharing a glass of wine. My daughters said it was our best vacation.

Treat Yourself to this Magical Maine Luxury Lakehouse, Town of Wayne and scenic Lake Androscoggin
I have been visiting Wayne, ME since the late 1960's and each time I learn more about it and appreciate my time there more. This Maine Luxury Lakehouse is owned by owners Bill and Alberta Messer who were wonderful hosts seeing that all details to make our stay enjoyable were handled. The Lakehouse comfortably accomodated our twelve adult guests, is located on 2 1/2 acres with 300' of lake frontage. The grounds and 3 separate buildings reminded me of a page from the children's book Hansel and Gretel-beautiful manicured with trees, flowers, and a small pond. The front screened-in porch facing the beautiful western sunsets was our favorite location allowing us to feel the constant breeze while viewing the gorgeous lake. Activities included kayaking and canoeing (provided by owners), swimming, tennis and soccer/tennis at the nearby Ladd Recreation Center, Chubbies for ice-cream, foot-log hotdogs and lobster rolls, Lakeside Pottery for gifts, The Winterplace Farm in Leeds for winning cheeses and viewing their small herd of stunning Nubian goats with their white ears, Stevenson's fruit and vegetable stand in Winthrop, shopping at Hannafords in Winthrop, Lighthouse Lobsters and steamers in Manchester, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Shaw's Restaurant on a pier in New Harbor, Boothbay Botanical Gardens, discovering the Dead River (Egrets, turtles and) from our 14' rented boat (Beacon Boat Rentals in Wayne), viewing Androscoggin Lake from Morrison Heights Road, cooking on the amazing barbecue and listening to the choir practice of the loons in the evening. In addition, the house was clean and maintained, the owners took care of all the details, and I highly recommend this marvelous vacation house to all. Do yourself, family and friends a favor and introduce everyone to Wayne, ME and its miraculous little town and magnetic surrounding area. Thank you Alberta, Bill and Natalie for our special week!

Gorgeous stay in Maine's beautiful nature!
After the easiest booking process and warm contacts with Alberta and Bill Messer to prepare our stay, we discovered apon arrival not only the hideway we dreamed of for our Thankgsgiving vacation, but wonderfully nice and caring hosts. The house nestled in the middle of the woods and at the same time offering breathtaking views to the majestic lake was ample and comfortable, filled with light. The cosy decoration, the chimney and all the equipment of the house in general including a piano made us feel at home right away. We especially enjoyed the kitchen and the great viking stove and made good use of all what there -outstanding kitchenware!- to cook wonderful dishes. We even found "cocottes Le Creuset" a must for French gourmets! Alberta and Bill were very generous and easy going hosts. As we got to know each other better over a joyful dinner, we were happy to learn more about their love for Italy and France, their big family, and their involvement in water supply for people in Guatemala. We were all the happier for having chosen their house and contribute to their project. In all we had a wonderful time in Loonsong, and we ardently wish to be able to come back some time in the summer!
