I have rented Neal's camp 3 years in a row. I love this place! It's quiet and the shallow pond is perfect for my grandchildren. I should note it's a camp, not a 5 star hotel. If you are looking for a camp atmosphere, this is the place for you!. That's what I was looking for and I highly recommend.

It is a cute little camp. We especially enjoyed the fact that we were like ten steps from the door to the water. Neal was promptly responsive to any questions or issues. We would go back.

Wonderful Getaway!

We had a wonderfully peaceful week at the cabin. The weather was less than cooperative, but that didn't spoil the peace and quiet. There was a small issue but Neil addressed it and fixed it immediately. Will most likely rent the property again!

Peaceful and Serene

This is a lovely rustic cabin, complete with pine board walls. It was equipped with everything you need. It was so quiet that we felt as if we were all alone even though we had neighbors. Loved that the pond was right out our back door. Our dog was obsessed with sitting on the dock, watching the fish all day. The few people we ran into on our daily walks were friendly. It was a relaxing five days, which is what we were looking for.

Sand Pond Escape

We spent an excellent 2 weeks at Neal’s camp on this gorgeous pond. The tranquility and silence of almost zero boat traffic was lovely as we were able to appreciate the loons, the eagles and the ample bass literally flying out of the pond. Our 2 kids and our dog really enjoyed the shallow warm water as it allowed them to swim and explore for hours. The rustic charm of the camp was appreciated as it forced us to unplug and unwind.

Going Back In Time

Our visit brought us back in time. It felt like staying at Gramp's camp in Northern Maine during the 60s and 70s. The camp is rustic with just enough modern updates for comfort. The pond was like glass for most of our stay and the only ripples came from quiet paddlers or slow trolling fishermen. Sunsets from the dock were just beautiful. One of my favorite Maine traditions...the loons' calls...every night. Quiet dirt roads were mostly traffic free and perfect for walking. The serenity here transcends one back in time to a quieter place without noise, speed and hi-tech distractions. We needed a break from all that and found it here.

Relaxing! Very nice, take a look.

Very easy entry. The owner got right back to us when we had a question. This is a no wifi property, but we all could use the hotspots. Having no wifi was wonderful! We've been friends for several decades. We had much laughter and some talk. It does have direct TV, and something else (in the property description). The swimming (August 2025) was perfect! As the property promised you walk quite aways out without it get deep. We enjoyed this! Most of that is sand. We highly recommend booking it. It's homey, easy to keep organized and clean, yet roomy enough. The enclosed area overlooking the water would be great in the rain. We had great weather and enjoyed our early AM there.

Mold, Mildew and Cob Webs

Expecting comfortable cabin, getting a dirty smelly place to stay. The refrigerator had food in it and needed cleaning before use. The back bedroom had a bloodstained mattress cover. The mattress was frightfully ancient. There were cobwebs lining the sill above the sink. The floors were covered with sand. The location was great. The pond enjoyable. We cleaned the stove, cobwebs, floor and put a different sheet over the mattress pad. The owner/cleaners should be ashamed.

Perfect pond

Cabin sits on the edge of a sandy pond. Great for kids because it's very shallow. Also a perfect place to teach kids to kayak. We loved the quiet and spacious cabin. Would rent again.

Sands Pond Cottage

This place was very quite, was a great place to relax.The house itself was very rustic feel ,but very homey feel as well. The house was well stocked with what you would need in a kitchen. We enjoyed having a campfire in the evenings and listening to the loons. Also a good place if you have young children, as the pond is swallow for a longs ways out. We would rent again without any worries. Thanks for a great get away Neil and Lynne
