This was our second stay at Andy's Place. It was just as wonderful as our first visit! The cabin is clean, inviting and cozy. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen has many appliances and the bathroom has lots of clean towels. The porch is our favorite! We love looking out at the pond. We love that Andy's Place is let friendly, and there's lots of room for our pup to run around, and swim too. Thank you for another great weekend stay! We will be back for a third!

We stayed for 9 days and enjoyed every moment. The pond, the view, the Loons, the cabin, everything was perfect from the firewood to the comfy beds , dinners and numerous games of Yahtzee on the back porch. We are just on our way home and we are already planning our next visit. Thank you to our Host. Ps… he even took our photo as we celebrated our 52… wedding anniversary.

Great place for a family getaway

I stayed here with my sibling and some cousins and it was excellent. The camp has everything you need, was very tidy, and spacious for its size. The view was beautiful and the porch is a great place to hang out.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Morin

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Paul, my wife Kelly and I have been happily married for 15 yrs. We are proud grandparents of some amazing grandchildren. I care-take multiple rental properties around this area, so when this one that a friend had owned became available, we jumped on it. My wife and I have been renovating it a bit this summer while using it, now it's time to share it with all of you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do...

Why they chose this property

Whetstone Pond is quite possibly one of the nicest little ponds you will ever see. Majestic Russell Mountain rises right from the shore across from you. The sun will set right out in front of the screen porch. You'll listen to the Loons and this time of year, you'll get to see the leaves change. You won't find a better area than Northern Maine to enjoy the Foliage...

What makes this property unique

Year round access, to all of Maine's amenities, including Kayaking, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, atv'ing, or anything else you can dream up.
