Authentic Northern Maine Lakeside Retreat. Live Like A Local!

8/10 Good
"We love coming to this camp every summer with the family. It's a beautiful location, great for kids, and pet friendly which is perfect for us. It's rustic, cozy, and has everything you need to just unplug and enjoy nature. Unfortunately, this year we did not get to enjoy the quiet getaway we've come to expect. The neighbors had very loud parties 4 separate nights we here there. While I can appreciate a fun time, it was hard to look past revving engines, screaming 'woohoos', and blasting music well past midnight while the kids were trying to sleep. This is the first year we had this issue so I'm not sure if it was just bad timing or something to expect in the future. We still had a nice vacation overall, but the excessively loud nights put a damper on the experience."
