We loved our winter stay at the Squirrel's Nest! The wood stove and heat kept us quite cozy and the morning view of the sunrise over the frozen lake was unbeatable. Already thinking about a return trip!

The camp was very well equipped and had plenty of bedroom space. It's location was quiet and scenic. The waterfront area worked well for fishing off the dock and accommodating our the kayak, paddle board and motor boat that we brought from home. This wonderful property made our week stay at the lake a very fun and a relaxing one!
Fishing off the dock was fun!

The Great North Maine Woods

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. So much to do, from the lake to the north Maine woods. We saw lots of wild life and enjoyed hiking and riding the trails. We would definitely stay here again.

Brothers’ Weekend Getaway

Rented this cabin for my husband and his 2 brothers to have a guys’ weekend. They loved the bedrooms and large living area. They fished off the shore, and played games at the large table, as it rained most of the weekend. They had a great time, and found it very relaxing. The host was very responsive and helpful. We are thinking of returning sometime for a couples’ weekend!

Cozy cabin at a beautiful spot at the lake

The location was astonisching with a stunning view over the lake. The cabin was cozy, cleaned up and offered a lot of privacy. It is near Baxter State Park and Gulf Hagas. The cabin and its location was truly beyond our expactations. A good place to relax and perfect place to return to after a nice outdoorday.

Family Getaway

This trip was perfect from the cozy well-stocked cabin to the quiet area. We can’t say enough about this cabin on the lake, it was everything and more than we could have hoped for. Sherry was very accommodating and quick to respond when needed. We enjoyed kayaking and listening to the loons on the lake. We would love to return in the future.

Amazing getaway

This property is amazing! The cabin is spacious and has everything you need. The views are magnificent. The location is hidden away but very peaceful. The owner is always available to answer any questions in a prompt manner. While the drive on the road to the cabin isn’t for the faint of heart, it is very much worth it! Will definitely go again!

Squirrels nest vacation

One of my favorite trips ever. The property provided a comfortable and peaceful backdrop to our family time. My sister and niece live in SC.and we don"t get to visit often. We went kayaking, built campfires, made Smores, and even laid on the dock to look.at the beautiful night sky without light pollution. There were inside activities available for rainy days.
