"Spacious and comfortable camp on a peaceful pond. "

"Beautifully kept home overlooking the water on Whetstone Pond. Peaceful and perfect place to relax, read and enjoy nature. Beautiful touches all around the home and both us and our dog were at ease immediately walking in. Check out Monson, Greenville and short trips to Bangor, Bar Harbor .thank you! And we already miss it!"

"This was a clean convenient place to stay. Friendly staff."

"The lakeside cottage was perfect for our sisters weekend get away. The large family room and open kitchen and cozy fireplace in the dining room with beautiful lake views made for a fun space to cook, dine and play endless board games!! We had a blast and hope to be back again soon!"

"Views alone are worth the stay. Customer service is excellant "

"The room was tidy and overlooked the river. Falling asleep to the sound of water rushing over the old mill dam was very special. The restaurant below the hotel had the best coffee and espresso in Maine. No hyperbole. The best. We had a fabulous meal in the restaurant over the weekend. It is a “you get what is fresh and in season” menu with a few decisions for the guest to customize. People may unfairly consider this restrictive whereas we thought it highly pragmatic and forward thinking. If there’s only a few wines, it’s because they are good. If there’s only a few options on main courses, also good. The service and food was excellent overall. In terms of hotel experiences, we enjoyed the self service entry and checkout. No lines, final bills, awkward barriers in or out. There are a lot of hidden gems in Maine, and people ramble about culinary experiences that punch above their weight class. Our experience was a nuanced, sensory joy just being around salt of the earth locals and a weekend getaway that firmly cemented itself as just a time when everything felt right. We’ve done a lot of Michelin dining, and sometimes the se donner de grands airs (putting on airs) is cloistering and decimates mirth and the quiet smiles of a thing done consistently well because it’s the right way to live. This experience lets you love Maine."

"Had a great stay at this beautiful location. Home is very close to town but on a quiet street with direct water access. Owners were very helpful and easy to work with. Would highly recommend and will likely stay again!"

"Mike is an excellent host, quickly informing and then letting us to our selves. Lovely room, and a gift of chocolate chip cookies was adorable. "

"The home was very clean and organized. Great view to wake up steps from the lake. We had a great stay and would be happy to go again "
