We had a wonderful stay! This place is clean and has all the kitchen accessories you need. Plenty of hot water for showering. The location is great, we kayaked and canoed and caught lots of fish. Swimming too! Convenient home base for visiting Baxter State Park. If you really want to disconnect, this is the spot.

Stayed there with our twos dogs and the location was perfect. Camp was very clean and is directly on the water, even had a dock for us to dock our fishing boat. It has everything you need. Beautiful big windows in the front let in so much natural light and the sunsets views are perfect from the front deck. I do wish the camp had a bigger bed the double was a little tight for us but other than that the place was percent for us.

Lake vacation

Great well kept lake front camp. Not roughing it by any means. Extremely clean and welcoming. Lake is very quiet, even on a holiday weekend. Camp is close enough to town if you need grab something. Overall wonderful experience. Hated leave.

The spectacular view more than makes up for what is missing, no microwave, no internet, no hairdryer. The house is a little decrepit but the view is priceless. Sit on the deck and watch the sun set over the lake.

loved the view..I had a fall before my stay so I didn't get out on the water much. We played board games and had good meals. The bedding and linens were luxurious ! My daughter and grandson did get to kayak. The most exciting thing was when the eagle and the juvenile landed on the rock out in the water !

Great home base for Baxter State Park

Property was perfect for us. Clean with everything we needed. This is a simple rustic type place, nothing fancy, but like I said: clean, spacious, good kitchen, beds were comfy, hot water for showers. View off the deck was beautiful. Watched a loon one morning while drinking my coffee. No complaints and would stay again!

Home base for Baxter

This is a cabin on a lake. It's simple. No tv, microwave, washer/dryer or dishwasher. It has 2 bedrooms and a large living area. It was super clean. Basic cooking needs. Sometimes you need to be creative. The outdoor grill worked great. Best of all is the lake! Crisp clean water! Lots of fish caught off the dock. Definitely recommend!!

I loved this cabin. Waking up in the morning to the view of the gorgeous lake and the sound of the loons was everything. The cabin is clean and had everything we needed sleep,eat, and shower. There was plenty of space inside and outside. The property was private and quiet. We loved the huge spacious deck which is where we spent most of our time when we were not out. I actually slept on the deck the first night and loved it. We didn't do any outdoor cooking because of the ban due to lack of rain. But defintely be using the outdoor grill and gazebo next time. Can't wait!

Great -Rustic- Location for Baxter State Park

This is a property for those that have stayed in true "camps". In short, the location is everything and the accomodations are Spartan but serviceable. The outdoor deck is a terrific place to relax and take in the views, including the calling loons and ducks. Fish eight off the point in front of the cabin or take a swim in the clear water.

Phenomenal location!!

Location, location, location! If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind lakefront, this is the place! Andy’s place was spotlessly clean, and we really enjoyed being directly on the lake! We also really appreciated the privacy, and space from other neighbors, Which you don’t always get in lakefront neighborhoods. And he was super easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We would definitely rent here again!

Unbeatable Views and Location

If you’re okay with a camp style stay, this is it. The view and location was beyond amazing. Literally the listing doesn’t give it justice. If you plan to do Baxter, you’re 20 minutes out which is perfect. House was more than big enough for two of us. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful vista

Arrived just in time for a gorgeous sunset. First full day was a washout because of hurricane Lee, and even lost power at one point. Owner kept me updated on status the whole day, which he certainly didn’t have to do, until power was restored. The rest of my stay was awesome, including watching two bald eagles fishing from the rocks right off the deck. Hoping to come back next year!

We're so sorry to hear this happened. We've checked all over the camp and spoke with our maintenance man and cannot find anything that would be accessible to pets.

Anniversary Trip to the Lake

Every year my wife and I rent a place to stay on the water for our anniversary which falls at the beginning of July. This year we chose the spectacular Millinocket region, which I am very familiar with, and were immediately drawn to this property. We have stayed in fancy homes and rustic camps in the Moosehead region many times. We were looking for a camp on this trip and what a camp this one is! Great location and easily accessible to both the town and area outdoor offerings. This camp sits right on the water’s edge which is very rare these days. I literally fished off the deck and caught many fish. Nice dock and a perfect small swim front. We appreciated the “campi-ness” of the place and felt we had all we needed for our stay at the camp. Owner was responsive and easy to work with. If you are looking for a luxurious lake home with all the amenities and without any Maine camp qualities then this is probably not the one for you, but if you want what the locals have for a camp and the experience that goes with it then don’t miss out. Plenty of hot water for showering and doing dishes and a view that will take your breath away as you sip your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail on the sunny front deck. We are already looking forward to renting this place again several times in the years to come. Thanks for a great summer stay!

Fantastic location for peaceful getaway

My kids (14, 12) and I like to have an end-of-summer getaway before school starts. We usually try to get as far from the beaten path as possible and stay in waterfront cabins. This cabin was *perfect* for that! The highlight for us was definitely being right on the water. We spent most of the time we weren't in or on the water sitting on the deck, listening to the loons, watching eagles perch on the rocks, and just generally soaking in the peace and quiet. It was incredibly relaxing. The cabin itself was easy to stay in--power, running water, refrigerator etc felt quite luxurious compared with some of the more primitive places we've stayed in past years. If you are looking for a high-end luxury stay this is not the property for you, but if you want to be right on the water with all modern conveniences this place is perfect. The swimming and fishing were excellent, and it was great to have the dock for our kayaks. I will note that if you are looking for a spot with a deep-water dock appropriate for diving or jumping off, the water was not deep enough for that in the current position of the dock. The bottom is rocky which I prefer greatly to mud/muck/weeds. Succinct highlights: hungry smallmouths, especially off of the island directly across the lake, loons and eagles galore, lots of privacy from neighbors, the crazy sawdust pile, driving the golden road to Greenville, proximity to Millinocket for shopping. Katahdin Air were super nice and easy to rent kayaks from!

Unclean and outdated

I’ll preface my review by saying that the owner did refund me the cleaning fee, and that November is the off season for this area, and it’s a camp - not a hotel. Pros: - great location with a beautiful view Cons: - was filled with dead and alive house flies when I arrived - Uncomfortable and noisy bed and pillows - many light fixtures didn’t work - outside gazebo/fire place was a mess

Very Rustic

The property has a view that just won't quit, absolutely beautiful, secluded and quiet. Directions were great, lead us right to the door. This place is rustic, very rustic. No TV, no internet, completely unhooked, which was just fine with us. I contacted the owner about where to put the trash as I could find no bins outside, and was told to leave it in the house, which I wasn't pleased with, but we did of course. I also informed him that 7 of 8 ceiling lights did not work inside (specifically bedrooms and bathroom) and several more outside during the same email, however, he never contacted me back on that issue, or corrected it, so of course, we made do. I did note that a review from a year ago also mentioned the lack of working lights. I don't think, however, that I would consider this property again. If you are looking for rustic, unhooked, quiet, simple, and secluded, this place is for you.
