Great Sunrises!

I went with a girlfriend and my Jack Russell Terriers. We loved the Sunrise from the deck every morning. We loved everything about the deck. Pine needles do come down fast all day long but there is a leaf blower to clean them off which was very much appreciated. We spend most of our time between the dock, deck and front porch. We stayed a week and hope to come back again.

We had a great stay, the cabin is older and outdated, but gave a warm cozy feeling. The bathroom is detached in a shed, but all functioned as it should. Would definitely recommend.

Bit Deceptive

Upon my arrival it took me over an hour to gain access to the property as the host provided the incorrect keylock combination and was unreachable for sometime, through multiple forms of communication. Entering the cabin I was met with a large pile of sawdust in the middle of the carpet, which the owner told me to vacuum up. There was also a damaged lamp, the shade was torn almost completely in half. There was trash in the barrels in the kitchen and the bathroom. Which by the way is not even located in the cabin. It is located in a shed next to the dirt driveway. The amenities list a washer and dryer, the washer would not spin out the laundry and the dryer would not get hot. In the shower we discovered a very nice men's razor along with soap and shampoo, which we disposed of. It was abundantly clear that the previous guest did not clean up after themselves nor had any kind of property management been by to even inspect the cabin. I say this confidently as there was $20 on the table, I presume from the previous guests use of fire wood. Halfway through my stay the Wi-Fi stopped working, even after attempting to reset the router, we were with out it and any form of cell service for the remainder of our stay. There is one full size bed, a day bed on the screen porch and a pull out couch. There is not a bedroom but a bed behind a curtain. The lake is beautiful.

Relaxing Stay

Such an ideal spot on the lake. Easy in and out with beautiful views and fun things to do. Katahdin was visible with beautiful sunrises. Kayaking, fire pit, protection from a rainstorm. Rustic, yet all necessities provided.

Not for us

To start it is a step up from camping but i’d rather go camping. My wife and I have rented MANY properties throughout Maine so we have comparisons. My number one problem is I don’t think anyone checks the property after visitors have left. Case in point we went get the cushions so we could relax but the bin they were stored in is not water proof and the cushions were wet, a couple didn’t dry till Thursday. A soaking wet dishcloth on the counter, garbage not brought out to the curb on Tuesday, three bags in the can. The vacuum cleaner and sweeper FILLED with dirt and hair. You are supposed to clean before you leave but the mop still had packaging on it so how did the previous people mop? The owners are not inspecting what they expect. The furniture was worn which is one thing but terribly dirty! As far as six people, good luck. Oh, and it is NOT safe for young children and the electrical outlets are overloaded, a serious hazard. OVER PRICED! With that said it is a BEATIFUL spot! Great swimming

Great cabin right on the lake

We had a great time. Loved being able to bring the pets on vacation with us. Beautiful spot right on the water. We had a little trouble with bees flying around the deck area. When we would eat outside they would start coming around. Note to people who bring dogs who like to swim- there is no easy access in and out of the water except for climbing on rocks, which made our dogs nails bleed a bit. Didn’t seem to bother the dogs though. There is a grocery store about 20 minutes away which was very convenient. We cooked on the grill every night and had s’mores by the campfire. We’ll be back again!

Enjoyed a quiet weekend on the lake, listening to the waves. Caught some beautiful sunrises right from the deck. My dogs enjoyed swimming in the lake and lounging on the deck. One of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've stayed.

Perfect Rustic Hideaway

a perfect rustic little cabin on an idyllic lake! We had a wonderful time... the cabin is exactly as it is described... 2 steps up from camping with everything you could ever need. Perfect spots to sit and watch the ever changing moods of this quiet lake. We were early in the season so appreciated the closed in porch for warmth, but also the deck, the dock, the firepit. Nothing like waking up to a picture perfect sunrise in bed! Patti is so responsive and helpful, all the information was clear. A great experience!

Nice Place Tough Driveway

The place was clean and the deck was nice. My Nephew slept on the screen porch and said it was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked nicely with pans and dishes. The lake was beautiful and crystal clear. The only issue we had was the driveway. We could not get the boat around the tight corner. Other than that we had a nice time.

Tell me bout the good old days

Camp My Own brought me back to days when I spent summers at my grandparents little camp on the lake. Nothing fancy but everything you'd ever need. Comfortable, Quiet, and peaceful. A wonderful place for our grandchildren to put down the phones and tablets and enjoy and learn the value of family, and to understand what a great state and country we live in, despite all the nonsense going on. The deck and dock are layed out perfectly for our boat and plenty of room for our younger grandchildren to enjoy a safe and fun place to swim. We explored the lake and found some great fishing spots. The kids loved tubing and as one of photos in description suggested Deadmsns rock, we gave it a try...a blast for all. The owner made everything so easy, check in and out, for amenities, if it wasn't there you didn't need it. Popcorn machine was a huge hit! So in closing, if you're looking for the Hilton on a lake in Maine look elsewhere. However, if you're looking for the motto (Maine, the way life should be,) look no further!!! Again great thanks to Patti for sharing the incredible Camp My Own....

Beautiful lake!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The lake is crystal clear and it was a private location. The owner is quick to respond and accommodating. I did rate cleanliness a 2 because although it’s a rustic camp, the people who stayed there before us thought leaving food crumbs all over the kitchen and on the deck/picnic table was ok... If you are up for a rustic experience and a beautiful place to swim, go for it!!! Thank you Patti

Perfect Spot

This was the perfect getaway! Very homey and comfortable. The view from the back deck is spectacular! We had so much fun! While some people may turn their noses up at the bathroom being in the shed, we felt it just added to the uniqueness of the place. From the first day it was called “The she shed” LOL! Patti the property owner was very responsive from beginning to end. We highly recommend this beautiful little spot and will definitely be returning next year.
