Stayed here as one of our stops of a multi-lodge Nordic skiing trip. By far the best food! Great service, friendly staff and guests (many of the people we met are regular visitors- we may become one of them).

This may be my favorite place in the world. I come here year after year with my family, and it's always an outstanding experience. Cozy cabins right near the pond, all with great views. It's always wonderful to see moose across the pond from the porch. There are kayaks, canoes, and rowboats available for people to use and explore the pond and its wildlife. Please don't get too close to the animals... This may be my favorite place in the world. I come here year after year with my family, and it's always an outstanding experience.

Please don't get too close to the animals though because we don't like to see people scaring them off. Meals are included in the price of lodging, and there are 3 per day. Breakfast at 7:30, lunch at noon, and dinner at 6:00. I recommend you do your best to be there for all the meals as none of them disappoint. There is a bell that will ring just before each of them that you can hear from anywhere on the pond. Family-owned and operated for decades. All of the staff and guests are such wonderful people. I will continue to come back each year.

We've been looking for a rustic place like this for years, and have now found what we are looking for. West branch pond at the doorstep: moose, loons, bull frogs, and good food. A few miles away from the AT going over White Cap mountain, and 15 miles from cell phone service: you are unplugged... Inside plumbing during the warm months, and an extensive cross country and snowshoe trail system. Re...

We now return every year...

Have been to the camp twice, once in 2019 and now in 2021. I go there mostly to shoot film for movies and dual sport motorcycle riding in the Nahmakanta wilderness. Eric and crew are great host's, food is good ,cabins are clean and its a great place to hang out for a few days and unplug. Highly recommend it!
