we had the best time at the camp. wonderful location - perfect camp feel. we enjoyed sitting out on the dock and took the kayaks around the pond. cozy camp with all the necessities. we’ll be back!
Beautiful place on the lake, we had a wonderful time. Communication was amazing, any and all of our questions answered in a very timely manner. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to everyone.
Our family of 5 had a wonderful week at Uptacamp— Norton Pond is beautiful for swimming and kayaking, the location is a great jumping off point for exploring the Midcoast area, and the cabin is comfy with plenty of space to hang out outside. Robert and his wife are terrific and responsive hosts. We hope to return!
Lake life as I remember it from the 80s and 90s, everything we needed which was mostly a beautiful spot and peace and quiet. House is very basic and sweet. Mostly spent time outside and exploring nearby, so much to see! One thing I didn’t realize from the listing was the need to bring our own drinking water, but we managed! Loved hearing the loons and early morning kayaking.
Loved this rustic peaceful getaway in Maine! Between the sleeping porch and the perfect water, we were happy as clams and loons! Thanks for a great weekend.

This cottage brings you back in time to vintage Maine. Loved the sleeping porch and listening to the waves lapping the shore. Very well stocked kitchen and plenty of dry wood for the fire pit.
We loved our quick trip to this property. The location was perfect, the boat house fully stocked with fun lake toys and despite our rainy forecast we had the best time! Check in and check out was smooth sailing and the house was prepped with everything we needed. Thanks so much!
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin on the lake! The cabin had lots of character, and was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed some of the amenities to include kayaks and the fire pit by the lake. The cabin was very close to Camden and Rockport which we explored during the day. Excellent communication with the host. Would definitely recommend!
This was our third time in this wonderful location, on a clean and sunny lake, great dock, lots of room to hang out. Walkable road and a short drive or Kayak to Lincolnville General Store with fresh pizzas, coffee and essentials. Stephanie was a great host, attentive and helpful. Thank you!
Everything was as expected. A pond front cottage with lots of equipment for various water activities. The gas grill was nice as we could prepare a number of meals at home. Without question, this property has the best bathroom I have ever experienced in renting properties around Norton’s Pond. I think anyone would enjoy a stay at this property.
The property is very rustic and peaceful. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. We spent most of our time sitting on the dock watching the wildlife and sunsets.
My boyfriend and kids were looking to get away, unplug, and unwind. This cozy little gem provided us with that and more. This camp provides the best of both words; lake life and ocean life. We woke up each day to loons and geese galore. My kids loved the porch arrangement and fell asleep listening to them and the barn owls each night. We made good use of the firepit for quality family time in the evenings, roasting smores and enjoying eachother. Kayaking around Norton Pond is an absolute must!!! It is beautiful beyond words. We were minutes from the ocean, Lincolnville public beach being the closest but many little gems along Rt.1. I read the previous reviews and our last night we ordered pizza from the general store, it was probably some of the best gluten free pizza I have ever had. Communication with owner was fabulous. We unfortunately got a little lost dispite being warned that GPS is wonky in the area, and using the suggested modification to put into google maps. Next time I would put in the Drake Corner Store and then the property address. Google maps was definitely wonky out there. We would 10 out of 10 recommend and will try and return next summer if there is availability. Truly a perfect location.
Loved this house, such a perfect spot. Great house layout, clean, well supplied. The dock is right on the lake with clear water, we rented kayaks and paddled over to the lovely Lincolnville store (where they have everything, even pizza kitchen for takeout). It was quiet with little boat noise, just loons and the sounds of people enjoying summer.
I’ve been looking for a place like this since I had my first child (12 years ago!). I wanted to share with them the vacations I had as a kid. My checklist is short but still not easy to find. A lake with a way to swim from the backyard of the cabin. (This was the hardest to find but it’s at this property! The water is deep enough off the dock that the kids couldn’t touch but they used life jackets and we had a blast swimming all day.)
Second is a real cabin. Like thin walls, may or may not have hot water flickering lights and the whole nine. This was perfect. It does have hot water which I never had as a kid.
And lastly is the distance to neighboring cabins. This was perfect. You can see them through the trees but you aren’t on top of one another.
We loved our stay and hope to go back again.
Great spot for a get away with our family. Well equipped camp to live in for the week. We cooked all of our meals there inside or on the grill, except pizza from the general store one night. Beds and bedding were comfortable. Owners were quick to communicate about any questions we had. Will stay again!
