A Dining Experience Like No Other in Rangeley

At The Loon Lodge Dining Room, we believe that a truly great meal goes far beyond food and drink — it's about the whole experience. Set against the stunning backdrop of Rangeley Lake, our casual yet intimate dining room invites you to slow down, savor every bite and enjoy an evening you won't soon forget.

Meet Chef Jason

Behind every memorable meal at Loon Lodge is Chef Jason — and chances are, you'll get to meet him yourself.

With nearly 20 years of experience in the culinary industry and two years at the helm of the Loon Lodge kitchen, Chef Jason has quickly become a beloved part of what makes dining here so special. His philosophy is simple but brilliant — take the comfort food you love and elevate it into something truly extraordinary. The result is a menu that feels both familiar and exciting, deeply satisfying and beautifully crafted.

Chef Jason is passionate about supporting the local community and sources his ingredients from local Maine farms and vendors whenever available, ensuring that what's on your plate is as fresh as it gets. He takes enormous pride in his kitchen team and in the experience he creates for every single guest.

And don't be surprised if Chef Jason stops by your table to say hello. Whether he's in the dining room or the Pickford Pub, he loves connecting with guests and hearing about their experience firsthand. It's that personal touch that keeps people coming back to Loon Lodge again and again.

Don't just take our word for it — our guests say it best:

"The food was five star quality. In speaking with the chef we told him how wonderful the food was, his first response was giving credit to all of the kitchen staff." — D.G.

"The Loon Lodge dining experience surpassed all expectations! The lamb chops were seasoned and cooked to perfection... the risotto was creamy and the right texture." — Helen Z.

"Food — Excellent. Accommodations — Excellent. Service — Very Friendly & Accommodating. We'll be back!" — Larry F.

New American Cuisine, Rooted in Maine

Chef Jason's menu celebrates New American Cuisine at its finest — elevated comfort food crafted with the freshest seasonal ingredients from local growers. Our menu evolves with the seasons to bring you the very best Maine has to offer, from farm to table to your plate.

And whatever you do, save room for dessert. Our housemade desserts have become legendary among our guests — you've been warned!

"The Loon Lodge dining experience surpassed all expectations! My husband and I split an order of the lamb chops and the mushroom risotto,
and both were fantastic.
The lamb chops were seasoned and cooked to perfection and came with an incredibly flavorful mint sauce that complemented the meat so well. The veggies were also delicious (likely coated in butter) and I appreciated the spices chosen to season the carrots.
The risotto was creamy and the right texture. I appreciated the assortment of mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach cooked into it.
Finally, we ended on a slice of key lime pie (also perfect)! And shared a warm chocolate bread pudding with his sister and her husband.
(Pro tip: ask for vanilla ice cream with the chocolate bread pudding instead of the default chocolate).
Service was also A+! The server made us feel really welcome and she did a great job accommodating our 4-year-old nephew and 2-year-old niece."

"The Pickford Pub was a perfect Rangeley experience. Sue and her staff are amazing, their goal is to treat you well and to make sure you had the best dining experience possible. We started with a specialty cocktail with muddled blueberries. For the appetizer we had the calamari and for dinner the haddock and shrimp! Thank you again, five stars for service and food."

This was a Phenomenal staycation. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was five star quality. In speaking with the chef we told him how wonderful the food was, his first response was giving credit to all of the kitchen staff. He said he had phenomenal kitchen staff and could not do it without them. The rooms were very nice and very clean. The view from our room was spectacular, looking right out of window to Rangeley Lake.
When we spoke with the manager, I told her how well-run the lodge seemed. Again her first response was giving all of the credit to the staff. My wife and I have not had a vacation for quite a while and could not have asked for a better experience. There are many things to do and places to go. My wife and I do want to recognize our bartender and server Mercedes. My wife says she was incredible and I agree. Our heartfelt thanks to all the staff that made our vacation so memorable.

We had a great stay at Loon Lodge Inn. The room was cozy & clean. The staff is friendly, conscientious & TEAM oriented (wonderful to see them all having each others' back when it got busy). The location is ideal for a weekend of Saddleback skiing...(or snow-sledding or whatever floats your boat)!
Beautiful property. I can only imagine how beautiful it is in summer. Nice to see the history of the region preserved in this way.
Thanks for a great stay.

We loved our stay at Loon Lodge! Super convenient for skiing at Saddleback. The place was very clean and cozy and the staff was kind, welcoming and helpful with information about the area. The warm fireplace and hot cocoa was the perfect thing to come home to after a day of skiing. Great Maine micro-brews on tap at the pub. We look forward to staying again soon!
