Excellent amenities, Bring earplugs
Although this is a beautiful & remote off-grid location, we cannot recommend it to folks who are not prepared for walking the distance from the parking spot to the Lake Cabin. We were glad we brought a mountain bike to transport gear. We struggled with our (admittedly large) cooler transporting it with a woefully inadequate cart. The trail is rugged.
July 2024 brought with it unprecedented heat & humidity & unfortunately, lots of biting flies. We were thankful that there were few mosquitoes. This, we decided, is due to the huge population of frogs surrounding the peninsula. We have never experienced such a cacophony of calls all night long. We wished for a decible meter. My drummer partner said it was as loud as one of his shows. Bring earplugs.
We felt safe in the cabin from potential storms threatening in the near distance. Our food & cooler left inside the cabin were untouched when we returned from canoeing the lake.
Once I figured out that the skittering noise in the upper right corner of the lake cabin roof, I slept peacefully. Bats! Another reason for few mosquitoes.
There was moose scat in a couple of places, but didn't see an actual moose. We saw a bald eagle, loons, beavers, turtles, & squirrels & chipmonks. The lake was full of leeches, so no swimming for us.
The platform beds were very comfortable. The provided campstove & fuel was an excellent perk. As a semi-fit, late-middle-aged couple we probably shouldn't have booked this site. Dan was great.

We aren't experienced campers, so we wanted something beginner friendly but also off grid and secluded. We absolutely loved the camp. Both cabins were our choice of which to stay at, and they were beautiful. We hung out most of the day at the lake cabin, made dinner over the fire and headed back to the cozy cabin at night. We brought a ton of supplies but we're happy to know most were supplied for us! The directions were clear and Dan was very communicative through the booking of what to expect. Will be booking again!

An incredible place to stay! The views are breathtaking, and the cabins are nice and cozy. The forest surrounding the area is perfect for nature lovers, and the kayaks provided an awesome way to explore. Worth every penny—a little piece of heaven. Highly recommended to anyone looking to experience Maine!

Perfect Spot for Humans and Dogs!
We LOVED our time at Dan’s camp. Very private with amazing views. We loved being so close to the water with kayaks and canoes on site. Our dogs had a blast running around through the different trails and swimming. The wildlife was amazing. Bring binoculars if you can! We definitely want to come back.
If you are planning on going, I would recommend trying to pack light enough to only have to take one trip down to the cabin. It’s about a 10 min walk and we had to take a couple trips. Nothing too bad but if you have the opportunity to pack lightly, I would!
Also, check out Moxie Falls while you’re in the area! We did the short hike on our way out and it was totally worth it.

Loved it!
Really enjoyed my 3 nights here! Absolutely beautiful and very private, which I liked. I didn’t see another soul the 4 days I was there. Explored the pond by kayak and saw lots of beautiful birds. Cold late-April nights (down to about 20f the one night I checked) made me wish I’d packed a warmer sleeping bag.

The lake front cabin was amazing! So quiet and peaceful.
We also stayed in the cozy cabin which was perfect! Easy to find, even in the dark!
