Gerstley - Quiet, secluded adorable camp on Loon Lake
Gerstley is a charming and secluded camp tucked away on the shores of beautiful Loon Lake. With 200 feet of private waterfront and stunning lake views, this cozy retreat offers the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy Maine's natural beauty. Surrounded by trees and situated on a quiet gravel road, guests will appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and exceptional privacy.
Inside, the camp is thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and WiFi. Large windows bring in natural light and showcase picturesque views of the lake, while the comfortable living spaces create a warm and inviting place to relax after a day outdoors.
Outside, guests can take full advantage of the property's private waterfront with swimming, fishing, and paddling right from the shore. A dock provides easy lake access, and because motorboats are not allowed on Loon Lake, the water remains especially peaceful and quiet. Enjoy the provided rowboat and canoe, gather around the fire pit in the evening, grill dinner on the gas grill, or simply relax in the Adirondack chairs while taking in the serene lakefront setting. The quiet road is also ideal for leisurely walks and bike rides, making Gerstley a perfect getaway for those seeking tranquility and outdoor recreation.

Beautiful and peaceful camp. Highly recommend and plan to revisit again. Has a very private setting. Loved hearing the loons and the beautiful view of the sunset and the surrounding mountains.
My family of 4 (with two kiddos, 6 and 8) had such a restorative and fun stay at Gerstley. Loon Lake (and the loons who live there) was the highlight - it is so peaceful, with the loons calls echoing across the lake and between the mountains. Access to the lake is easy from the cabin, and the view through the big windows is lovely. Nearby Rangeley is a wonderful little town, the highlights of which were Pine Tree Frosty for ice cream on the lake and The Farmer’s Daughter for fresh produce and locally sourced products. We’ll be back to this area and will rent from this group again! *****

Wonderful week at Gerstley cabin
My husband and I have been going to the Rangeley area for nine years and have stayed in six different cabins, and this is our favorite. It has a beautiful open layout and an incredible wall of windows looking out onto the lake. The kitchen is well-laid out and comfortable to work in, which you cannot say about most cabins. It is also very private, which we appreciated. The dock is a bit higher than usual, so we had to get into the water to climb into our canoe, which is very minor. I only mention it in case that matters to someone. We are looking forward to going back again next year. It delivers exactly what the photos and description promise.

Gerstley Camp, Rangeley, Maine
This is a great location on Loon Lake "forget the fishing", the camp is really nice. Very quiet location. The only thing that stops this from being a 5 Star is the minature grill, good thing we didn't want to cook "four steaks" at once.

Beautiful, Peaceful Gerstley
Absolutely loved the Gerstley Cabin! Amazing views, impeccably clean, and beautifully appointed. Well supplied cabin situated in a private, serene setting perfect for book reading. Had to chop up some firewood for the firepit, but my teenage son thoroughly enjoyed the ax-wielding accomplishment. No cell service or WiFi was a welcome disconnection from the digital world.
