Convenient location close to shin pond village. Small building probably best suited for small parties. Worked out well for me and my hunting dog, I'd stay there again.

Lovely location on Upper Shin Pond. Beautiful place to kayak. We enjoyed the fire pit and especially the enclosed front porch. Host was very responsive to a leaky kitchen sink issue. Property could use a thorough cleaning inside and out. Otherwise would have given 5 stars

We stayed for the weekend, it was a great getaway! The cabin was clean & everything was provided as promised! The only issue was finding in the paddles/life jackets for the kayak’s because the shed was falling down, not a big deal though! Perfect get away with great views.

Great place to stay! We were visiting the area for the 2022 Maine Moose Hunt. Beautiful part of Maine. The camp was exactly as advertised and delivered all of our needs. Best part about the camp, no cell service! And we found a bull moose!

Property was at a great location. Understand that it’s a cabin, but could have definitely been a bit cleaner. We had a fantastic trip to Maine, but didn’t look forward to coming back to the cabin which is unfortunate because it’s a great space and location… just needs a deep clean and some comfortable seating.

Even though itv was smaller than we usually get,
We had a great stay and enjoyed this little cabin on a beautiful lot. There was enough beds including a cot for us all.
There wasn't a good place for young kids to swim but they enjoyed the paddle boats and canoe. Sitting and fishing on the dock was enjoyed by all. The fire pit spot was perfect and the lot was perfect for our dogs.
There wasn't any cell service but once we got the right wifi password, we were able to use wifi and wifi calling.
Thank you Andy for accommodating our family, even with the last minute add ons.

Peaceful, beautiful area
Nice place. There were plenty of kitchen nessessities, towels and bedding. There were boats and games, outdoor space, seating, a place for a fire. Not really good for swimming, but we didn’t care. No cell service unless you drive towards Patten, but that’s not something to base a review on, just to be aware of.
The shower was a great surprise, very hot and plenty of water pressure, which isn’t always the case even in nice hotels. The washer and dryer worked great also.
The upstairs was nice, lots of beds, my only suggestion would be a hand rail at the top of the ladder, a simple fix that would make it much easier to get up and downstairs .
And the sofa needs to go to the dump. It’s way past cleaning. Otherwise, a great camp with a lovely porch and plenty of privacy.

Beautiful views.
Camp is a great little get away. Path to dock a little challenging but expected in this area of Maine. Campfire area is large and had plenty of wood and chairs. Covered porch came in handy on rainy days. Would recommend to others.

Cabin in the woods
Andrew is a a great very nice and receptive host. The cabin itself is very cute just along the lake. This place would have been a 5 out of 5 starts for me if it were just cleaned better and the property were left more organized. The lake area is beautiful but the dock and kayaks were just kind of thrown around instead of stacked nicely so you could still walk by the water. It was a little tricky maneuvering around the stored stuff to walk by the water. I was also hoping to have a little fire outside but the chairs were broken. I was just visiting with a girlfriend of mine for a family wedding so maybe I'm just being a bit of a picky. I just wouldn't have expected to have to pick up to go and relax in the wilderness.
On the other hand, the bed was very comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of supplies and bathroom roomy along with a great portch! The cabin is in a great location to everything.

This cabin is clean, comfortable and well-supplied. The owner was very responsive when contacted with questions. The location is beautiful and very peaceful. We had our choice of boats, and enjoyed a couple outings in the 2-person kayak, and also relaxing around the fire pit in the evening.

Challenging Vacation Days
The host was responsive and flexible. The cabin offered unexpected challenges from arrival until early departure. Upon arrival, we encountered two bags next to the stairway filled with recycled cans and cigarette butts. We also learned the place had not been cleaned inside. The furniture covers and cushions showed stains. There were no garbage bags in the bin. The dock was underwater, missing planks and unavailable to walk on. The place has potential with some LTC. We cut our vacation short for the above reasons.

Remote, quiet and relaxing. Close to trail system. Clean and comfortable
The water temp in the shower is tricky to regulate. We turned the fridge to its warmest setting and it still wouldn’t stop running for a minute

The camp is cute, not as clean as it should be as a rental property. We had to remove the couch cover and clean it because there was so much dirt and even a dog bone in the crease. The shoreline is extremely rocky! The dock felt unstable, it swayed a lot. I fell multiple times getting in and out of my kayak. The area was quiet and what people we did see were very friendly. We left 2 days early.

Stayed with two family’s of four and had a great time! The kids loved Swimming in the pond every day. The kayaks, canoe and paddle board were a lot of fun. The shine pond village store is a great place right down the road. I will undoubtably try to return for another vacation at this lovely property.
