Wonderful stay
We’re so glad we booked a couple nights at Andy’s Place! We usually stay at the A-frame (which we love), but this home offers a completely different and equally wonderful experience. It’s full of charm and character—you can really feel the love and thought that went into creating the space.We spent most of our time out on the porch, just soaking in the peaceful vibe and listening to the rain. Our senior dog was also very relaxed here and enjoyed her time napping on the porch.Wish we had stayed longer and didn't have to leave tomorrow but we will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing such a special place.

Beautifully kept home overlooking the water on Whetstone Pond. Peaceful and perfect place to relax, read and enjoy nature. Beautiful touches all around the home and both us and our dog were at ease immediately walking in. Check out Monson, Greenville and short trips to Bangor, Bar Harbor .thank you! And we already miss it!

Cute & cozy getaway
We stayed for a weekend in December. The wood stove made the cottage very cozy, and the surrounding area was very quiet with amazing views of the lake. When you enter the address in Google Maps, it takes you to the wrong location, but we were able to find the right place relatively quickly by following the written directions provided. We contacted the host and he was very responsive and helpful. Our only complaint was that the house had a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke inside. In the summer it may not be as pronounced, but in the winter with all the windows and doors closed, it was. We still enjoyed our stay regardless.

Andy’s Place was wonderful! The beauty of the lake with the mountains beyond was a wonderful sight to drink coffee and admire in the morning. Our trip started here after a long drive from Michigan, and it was absolutely wonderful. The beds were comfortable, and our host was very thoughtful with the necessities that were at the property. 10/10 for sure!

We could not have had a better vacation. It’s so hard to tell when booking online if the rental will live up to our expectations. Well, this one certainly did. Do not hesitate to rent this cottage. I cannot count how much time we spent on the dock and on the porch. Absolutely wonderful. The amenities were outstanding.

Our fourth stay on this property
Andy's Place in Abbott, Me never disappoints, never fails to enchant and rejuvenate. This trip was a little kayaking, a little swimming, a little sitting by an evening campfire, and a lot of enjoying the quietness and beauty of Whetstone Pond. As always, we kept watch for the resident loons. The only time we left camp was for our anniversary dinner at The Quarry in nearby Monson. We already have our reservations for next year.! Can't say enough about this beautiful property and the excellent amenities.
