Beautiful Lake Front Log Cabin in Casco

If you want to experience life as it should be, to experience the
brilliant colors of the sky at dawn, the trickling sounds of the
lake lapping the shore, or the wonder of the sun rising out of a
crystal clear lake, you will feel right at home at the Call of the
Loon Cabin at Thompson Lake.

The Call of the Loon cabin is located in the Lakes Region of Maine.
Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the White Mountains, the Lakes
Region of Maine earns its name from the more than 50 lakes scattered
among green rolling hills. There are a multitude of activities to
enjoy during the fall, winter, spring, and summer.

Maine is a popular destination in the Fall. Leaf peepers flock to
the area to get a first hand glimpse of the dramatic color
transformation of the fall foliage from green to the brilliant
colors of reds to orange to yellow. Foliage normally starts to
change in mid to late September. It lasts well into October and
typically peaks about October 10th. At this time of year
vacationers can enjoy views of the foliage from just about
anywhere. The vibrant landscape can be particularly enjoyable to
look at while taking a scenic hike, riding a mountain bike,
exploring the lake by boat, casting for fish, antiquing, apple
picking, attending fall festivals, hunting, or just sitting on the
deck gazing at the water.

Winter is a particularly fun season in the lakes region of Maine for
outdoor enthusiasts. The lakes become the playground of
snowmobilers, fishermen, skiers, ATV enthusiasts and lots of others.
The Lakes and ponds freeze over and by January are safe for all
kinds of activity. Snowmobiles can be seen zipping around. Snow
shoers forge a trail along the shore and across the lakes. Cross-
country skiers find them a perfect arena for exercise. Skaters make
use of the surface for fun. Fishing is also found in abundance. The
ice fishing season opens January first and avid fisherman have their
small shacks out for warming and cooking while they tend their
traps.

Skiing is also a popular winter attraction. Shawnee Peak Ski
Resort, Mount Abram ski Resort, and Sunday River Ski Resort are all
nearby and all offer fantastic downhill skiing opportunities. Cross
country skiing can be enjoyed in the woods right outside of the
cabin or if you prefer groomed trails from Carters X-Country Ski
Center or Sunday River Ski Resort.

From the first hint of Spring through the end of summer activity on
Thompson Lake truly comes alive. This is considered peak season in
the lakes region of Maine. Sights commonly seen on Thompson lake
include groups of sailboats crisscrossing the lake captained by
children learning to sail at one of the two camps on the lake, boats
pulling a waterskier or someone out for a joy ride on a tube,
canoers and kayakers exploring the shore, vacationers basking in the
sun on docks or swim up floats, jetskiers skipping across the water,
fisherman trolling the water, loons diving under the water, pontoon
boats with groups of people enjoying a tour of the lake, and
swimmers diving off of docks.
