Nice camp experience.

We enjoyed this camp for two nights. Our grandsons loved the pond and beach. The owner was readily available, friendly and greeted us upon arrival. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children. Take out pizza from the White Elephant was really good and eaten during a rowdy game of monopoly at dining table. Thanks, Tom!

Absolutely Beautiful!

As first timers to Maine, this cabin and location did NOT disappoint! Tom was by far the best host. Made sure we were having fun and enjoying our stay. Just steps down the cutest dirt road is Porter Lake, the clearest water and absolutely STUNNING scenery. Kayaked to the private island with rope swing as well. The cabin itself was clean and and spacious. If you are looking for a relaxing experience with the most gorgeous scenery this is the place to be! Will most definitely be going back to visit Tom and Porter Lake again!

Excellent location

The check in/out process was very easy. The location is a short walk to the local lake. Only downside was the pillows (swear its industry standard to have flat pillows) there is plenty to double up. There appears to be a ground wire sticking out of an outlet in living room where plug for tv is. (Didnt cause issues) but may have to watch out for if toddler present. Top bunk is close to ceiling so watch head but otherwise great stay. Would definitely stay again.

Relaxing Getaway

We were greeted by Tom and his mother Mary when we arrived to the cabin. They informed us about local attractions and cabin details to ensure that we would have a pleasant stay. We enjoyed swimming and canoeing on the lake, we also enjoyed listening to the Loons at night. We went antiquing and hiking at small falls during our stay. We also enjoyed meeting our pleasant neighbors and look forward to continuing our friendship with them. Our stay was greatly needed and we look forward to returning. Tom and Mary were friendly and helpful in making our stay memorable. Thank you both. The Batty family
