Borestone Base Camp

We had an amazing experience. The beds were incredibly cozy and comfortable, and the fact that all cooking supplies were provided made meal preparation a breeze. The fire pit was a perfect touch for enjoying the outdoors, and the location was exactly what I was looking for- within a 15 minute drive to Moosehead Lake. I would highly recommend this yurt rental to anyone looking for a unique getaway. 5 stars!

Borestone Base Camp

The yurt was extremely spacious and had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the fire pit but the shower was a close second! We had issues with the battery connection and Monica came out and fixed it quite quickly. Despite being next to traffic, which wasn’t bothersome for us, the area was very peaceful and remote. It was also a great location right near Moosehead Lake. Monica had great suggestions of things to visit in the area as well. Overall a great stay and would recommend!

Borestone Base Camp

Monica’s yurt was extremely comfortable and the site was so beautiful. The forest was so relaxing and having the kayaks to explore the lake was an awesome bonus. Would definitely come back again, Monson Maine is so cute! Thanks for having us!!

Great site

Very nice setup with a wide yurt. 1 minutes walk from a pond with access and Kayak. All what you need for a pleasant stay is there! Thank you Monica for the chat and the advices.

Borestone Base Camp

Nice spot with sunrise on the pond

This is a beautiful spot! The tent is huge and thankfully quite waterproof. The kitchen area had everything we needed and then some. The outdoor shower was a nice treat after a long day. The pond is beautiful and using the provided kayaks was super fun and very easy! I would recommend this to anyone looking for ruggedish glamping without having to bring everything with you. Road noise wasn’t an issue for us but you could hear it. The pond and the bird calls were enough of a distraction that we didn’t notice.

Borestone Base Camp

We loved our stay here. The yurt-style tent is spacious (it was just 2 of us but we remarked 4 would be quite comfortable). Monica provided plenty of cooking supplies and water. The outhouse was close and the shower very nice and warm. We enjoyed the short walk down to the pond, and loved sitting beside the campfire. Our only complaint was the noise from the road, which was better on weekends vs weekdays and not as bad at night. Other than that we were very happy here and enjoyed meeting Monica and getting some local recommendations (go to Turning Page Farm Brewery!)
