Dan’s land exceeded our expectations. It’s exactly what I was looking for in a remote and serene getaway. I hesitate to leave my review for fear of this spot getting more popular and not being able to return in the future 😂 my dog loved running through the trails and patrolling the shore. We saw loons and other wildlife, took advantage of the kayaks, and admired the incredible view.

We decided to tent camp here and it was nice. It was a very pretty and peaceful stay.

After camping somewhere with a 2 mile walk to the site, we almost got scared of by the reviews some people left. We're so happy we took a chance. The walk from the car only took five minutes, and we decided making multiple trips to carry gear was well worth it. The mossy trails are so beautiful, and we loved how truly enchanting the cozy cabin site was. This is a place we won't soon forget. We're so grateful that a place like this exists!

Dan’s camp is perfect for those looking to disconnect & reconnect with their adventure partner(s)! The cabin on the water is *chef’s kiss* plenty of room & even mattresses for the platform beds! You’re greeted with a lovely view of the pond & the sound of loons. We stayed at the cabin on the water, but the cozy cabin looked great, too! The walk to the cabins is not too far at all, but carrying gear backpack style definitely makes it easier. We loved the mossy trails & so did our pups. Having access to canoe/ kayaks was also an added touch we were so grateful for. Simply put we loved our stay & hope to be back!

The cabin on Dan’s land was amazing! He provided a canoe which provided hours of fishing fun! It was quiet and secluded which made for a perfect get away. The mossy walk in was truly magical - I would love to come back!

Beautiful spot with amazing lake view. Well built cabin with screens to view lake if raining. Fire pit, kayaks and canoes were easily accessible.

Such a cool place:) My dogs had a blast! You definitely need to be prepared for the hike to and from your parking spot. To reduce the number of trips: Plan to bring only what you need each day. I recommend leaving a big cooler at your car and only bringing a smaller cooler down to the cabin (refilling each day). And if you use a wagon, definitely get an off-road one.

I loved camping here! The cabins are beautiful and the lake cabin is right on the edge of the pond with breathtaking views. It is very remote and I did not hear a single other person when I was there. It is very peaceful and the hiking trails on the land are very nice as well. It is the perfect place for peace and quiet and beauty. The directions getting there were spot on and I had no issue finding it. Overall a great experience. If you are thinking about staying here, the answer is yes!

We had a fantastic time at this camp - the most perfect "off the grid" getaway. Everything was exactly as described and Dan was a great communicator. Walk from the car was not too bad, but definitely worth packing light. We will be back!

This is our second time staying and it continues to be great! We stayed by the pond and that cabin is excellent for watching the sunrise in the morning and listening to the loons and frogs at night. We saw 2 moose during our stay and plenty of loons!

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!

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.

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.

My friend and I stayed here for two nights and it was perfect!! The land is very private and provides a wonderful off grid experience. There were still a few loons when we were there at the beginning of October and being able to enjoy the scenery by canoe was an added bonus! Definitely pack light as there is a short hike to the cabin!

My partner and I very last minute wanted a place to stay after camping and hiking in the rain the previous day and Dan really hooked us up. The place was great + I couldn’t say enough kind things about the host! Thank you so, so much!

We loved the atmosphere of this camp! We didn’t realize there were two camps booking this trip. We did end up getting there late. We stayed at cozy cabin that evening. The trail was marked well. The drive way leading into the camp and trail could have be marked better. The next morning we went down to the water front camp. Instantly moved all our gear down. Such a beautiful area. Listening to the loons all night was just amazing. Our dogs absolutely loved it as well! We brought fire wood but a chain saw would be better as it’s a good little walk to the vehicles. Bring a propane lantern and enjoy these beautiful cabins. We will definitely be back. Something about no cellphone reception and open water just clears the mind. 20-30 mins back to town and Barry’s general store. Cute little store! We carried in our propane cooking supplies. It’s some effort to get in there. It’s an easy trail but not so much carrying supplies. We used a heavy duty garden wagon. It worked pretty decent but still effort. Worth every bit of it! Bring a pillow ,sheets and sleep bags and relax and unwind!

The evergreen conservation area cabins were very comfortable. It was great that we had the whole place to ourselves and could bring our dogs.
We had a great time even in the rain!

Beautiful secluded lakeside cabin with amazing views, feels like you have the whole point to your self. Great spot to disconnect for a bit and enjoy nature.

Amazing property to take in all of nature's beauty and get off the grid(especially for a city boy like me). Dan was nothing but helpful and incredibly communicative. Definitely be sure to pack some heavier layers for the night time as it gets a bit chilly even in the summer months and also will help with the bugs, which weren't terrible but there were some areas that were worse than others.
Couldn't recommend this property enough if you're looking to camp, fish, hike, and just enjoy the serenity of everything around you.

This is the perfect getaway location. The cozy cabin is beautiful, however we chose to spend our nights in the lake cabin. It was beautiful and peaceful to wake up to the view of the pond and the loons each morning. It did rain one night we were there, but the lake cabin kept us perfectly sheltered, even with the large screen front, and it was serene to listen to the rain hit the water. I would not hesitate to go back.

Dan’s land is truly one of a kind! We greatly enjoyed our stay. It was incredibly peaceful and we saw so much wildlife - deer, loons, beavers, small critters, etc. The kayaks are nice touch that gave us a chance to explore the pond.
The cozy cabin is nice but we spent all of our time at the lake cabin and have to say, it’s the best spot we’ve camped at. If you want to experience Maine wilderness (and no other campers in sight) while still being within driving distance of cell service, restaurants, rafting/floating and other outdoor adventure, you’ll like this spot.
Has the host has mentioned, there is a walk to the campsite. It’s a beautiful walk though! Just be considerate of how you pack your stuff - duffles/backpacks are the way to go for sure.
We really appreciated the provided map of the land too!

I will 100% be back. Dan was super communicative and easy to work with. The lake cabin was rustic but nice and exactly what I was expecting.
Details:
1. The bugs were fierce by the main house where you park so spray before you even get out of the car if they bother you. The bugs were non existent by the lake cabin because of the breeze off the water. This was early July.
2. I did not go into the cozy cabin so no comments on that one.
3. The lake cabin is basically a large screened in wood shed. It’s like a three wall cabin with the water side totally open and screened in. Kinda like a luxury tent. Basically outside without the bugs.
4. Do bring duct tape for the screens in case there are holes. Quick 5 minute process when I got there.
5. A worm on a hook was my most effective tackle on the lake. Decent small mouth. Couldn’t get a bite on any lures. Could just be me though.
6. Definitely saw bear scat on the trails nearby but didn’t see any animals.
7. The loons are huge and loud and awesome. Eagles too.
8. When I go back I will trim down on gear to schlep back and forth, three trips from the truck to get set up is hard, not worth it. Two is better.
9. I did not feel much anxiety about bear or coyotes with my dog (50lb shep mix). If you have an off leash dog that stays close you should be fine. I would have felt uncomfortable having her off into the woods alone tho.
10. Decent burger/beer places at the forks if you need. 25min drive though.

The land was so remote, so beautiful. Dan was a lovely host, and was willing to arrange white water rafting events for us! The walk in was beautiful (although super buggy, as expected). There was a lot of wildlife, and we saw our first moose at this site. Our heart is so full from this trip and we are so grateful to have spent time here.

These are such awesome cabins in the woods of maine. If you are planning to go rafting in the area this is the perfect place to camp. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. The cozy cabin in the woods was so nice, clean and spacious for being a little cabin. The cabin by the water was so nice as the the whole front was open to the water. Everything was clean and maintained well. There is good fishing in the pond and hikes and whitewater rafting nearby. Have fun!
