What a great little find in Midcoast Maine. The camp theme was just the right amount, thoughtful, clever, nostalgic, and fun. The rooms are exactly as pictured, super-charming, clean, and quaint. Harkens back to another era in all the best ways. I would happily recommend to anyone visiting the area.

This was the most high-end glamping experience, ever. Every single detail was thought of. The cabins smelled fresh, heated bathroom doors, the main lodge was warm and inviting - full of tchotchkes that you want to take home. The staff were beyond lovely and super helpful with suggestions. 10/10 stay that I’d recommend to anyone. Looking forward to our next stay!
