Fire pit down by the lake. 2 Canoes and 3 kayaks (1 is a double) for exploring the lake. Perfect slow grade slope at the beach edge for small children.

Even thou your time at the camp is secluded and peaceful, you are only 5-10 min drive from Dunkin dounuts, Walmart and Hanna-fords. Many great towns, hikes and lakes to visit. We are about 2 hrs from Bar Harbor so a great day trip option. Make sure to check out The Bankery Bakery in the town of Skowhegan for fresh pastries!!

Beautiful spot on the lake! Extremely roomy, tidy and well stocked. Very close to the wedding venue my son got married at was an extra perk. The back deck is awesome and spacious and we had a lovely night around the fire pit.

The house was very nice, well spread out. The lake though, absolutely gorgeous! The water was so clean, we heard the loons, and saw bald eagles. The town was not far away so if needed to run to store it was great. Great vacation!
