Vacation Rental Description

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’ll 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 Carter’s 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.  

If you are looking for that perfect romantic getaway or a vacation 
that is sure to please every member of your family, visit Call of

Things to do (other than relaxing, reading a good book, swimming,

FISHING: The fishing on Thompson Lake is great.  Thompson Lake is 
4,426 acres according to the Maine Department of Environmental 
Protection. It lies northeast of Sebago Lake with a maximum depth of 
121 ft. It's about 12 miles long, and averages about 2 miles in 
width.  The lake is stocked with fish. You will find Large and Small 
Mouth Bass, Lake Trout, Salmon, Pickrel, and many other species.  

BOATING: Canoes and kayaks are available at the cabin.  If you 
choose to rent a motorized boat you can do so at the Thompson Lake 
marina.  Among other things, pontoon boats are available at the 
marina for rent.  This is a fun and relaxing way to see the entire 
lake.
