Dan met us at check in, which helped us get set up and start the weekend off right.The camp is rustic but veryclean and functional, but that is what we hoped for. Brought us back to our childhood experiences, only better. 2 full baths a half bath with plenty of room for sleeping made the adults only weekend very comfortable. The views, absolutely beautiful spot. We brought a swim pad and a few jetskis- super fun to just hang out on the water or ride.Played corn hole, sat by the fire, had coffee and watched the loons. A very peaceful and very fun place to stay... it was voted by the crew to definitely rent again next year.

We had a wonderful time on our vacation here. The home is just as it’s pictured. The lake is clean and seeing and hearing the loons was just so Maine! We loved waking up and kayaking and enjoying each meal outside. The adults, kids and dogs enjoyed the stay and we hope to stay again.
