Great place for a family getaway

I stayed here with my sibling and some cousins and it was excellent. The camp has everything you need, was very tidy, and spacious for its size. The view was beautiful and the porch is a great place to hang out.

Perfect for a getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at Andy’s place and wish we could have stayed longer. Great location and the cabin is adorable. Loved sitting on the dock watching the loons on the lake, the screened porch is also fabulous. Would definitely come back!

Wonderful stay

We’re so glad we booked a couple nights at Andy’s Place! We usually stay at the A-frame (which we love), but this home offers a completely different and equally wonderful experience. It’s full of charm and character—you can really feel the love and thought that went into creating the space.We spent most of our time out on the porch, just soaking in the peaceful vibe and listening to the rain. Our senior dog was also very relaxed here and enjoyed her time napping on the porch.Wish we had stayed longer and didn't have to leave tomorrow but we will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing such a special place.

On the Pond in Maine

The cabin was very clean and very well supplied. The property ended where the pond began and the host provided a fire pit and chairs for enjoying the view in the evening. A screen in porch was very nice, too. Wish we had known about the boat landing right next to the cabin.

Home away from home

Stayed here while I was house hunting in the area (found one!) and Wow. This camp was even better than the photos. Clean, cozy, gorgeous views, almost better than home. The mattress was perfect, watching tv before nodding off to peaceful bliss was delightful. Kitchen had all necessities, shower had great water temp and pressure,and the pups enjoyed snoozing by the heater. Thank you for a delightful stay!

Our fourth stay on this property

Andy's Place in Abbott, Me never disappoints, never fails to enchant and rejuvenate. This trip was a little kayaking, a little swimming, a little sitting by an evening campfire, and a lot of enjoying the quietness and beauty of Whetstone Pond. As always, we kept watch for the resident loons. The only time we left camp was for our anniversary dinner at The Quarry in nearby Monson. We already have our reservations for next year.! Can't say enough about this beautiful property and the excellent amenities.

Happy hearts

We could not have had a better vacation. It’s so hard to tell when booking online if the rental will live up to our expectations. Well, this one certainly did. Do not hesitate to rent this cottage. I cannot count how much time we spent on the dock and on the porch. Absolutely wonderful. The amenities were outstanding.

The best get-a way we have had!

This cozy cabin is right on a pond and the views are awesome!. We had two weeks of just totally relaxing with a warm fire and lot's of food/snacks. There are plenty of places we explored for walking, but really enjoyed just hanging out at Andy's Place, (the cabin's name). Close to Moosehead Lake for exploring. Owners provided unlimited amount of firewood for ambiance and heat; however the cabin has a propane heater that keeps you warm all night. We are coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Morin

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Paul, my wife Kelly and I have been happily married for 15 yrs. We are proud grandparents of some amazing grandchildren. I care-take multiple rental properties around this area, so when this one that a friend had owned became available, we jumped on it. My wife and I have been renovating it a bit this summer while using it, now it's time to share it with all of you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do...

Why they chose this property

Whetstone Pond is quite possibly one of the nicest little ponds you will ever see. Majestic Russell Mountain rises right from the shore across from you. The sun will set right out in front of the screen porch. You'll listen to the Loons and this time of year, you'll get to see the leaves change. You won't find a better area than Northern Maine to enjoy the Foliage...

What makes this property unique

Year round access, to all of Maine's amenities, including Kayaking, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, atv'ing, or anything else you can dream up.
