We are all over 70 so it was easy to get into. We all loved the screened porch. Fishing wasn't great from the dock but that was ok. Would recommend it to others.

Oh Andy’s Place is magical. It had everything we could have possibly hoped for: clean water for endless swimming, floating and kayaking. Loons calling to each other after sunset. Morning coffee with a view from the screened in porch. A sweet firepit for evening s’mores. A dock for frog & watching and a cozy interior to snuggle in on the brisker nights. Thanks for a great relaxing getaway.

There was a minor glitch at check in and the host responded immediately! This rental had everything you could need and more! Kitchen appliances and supplies were great. Lots of towels and blankets. Wonderful place for those who love being in and on the water.We spent most of our indoor time on the screened in porch with had couches, a table and rocking chairs.Fire pits stocked with plenty of wood and lots of outdoor seating to take in the sunsets.This rental is located next to a public boat launch so there was a bit of activity. Launch is not a recreation area, just launch or take out and go. We had some nice visits with those using the launch….where the fish might be!Great rental with great hosts!

As always, we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of Andy's Place. This four day stay was one of our longer ones and we had beautiful weather that allowed us to be outside and enjoy the pond. We love that the property has kayaks for us to use. The spacious screened in porch was a favorite place to view the fascinating habits of the loons as well as sunsets and even moonsets. The camp is comfortable, check-in/check-out is easy, and the hosts are helpful and attentive. Our sixth time staying here, obviously we love it!

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.

Awesome time at Andy’s Place

Upon arrival we were met with the beautiful view and upon entering the cottage, amazed with the decor and atmosphere. Family and I had such a great time with the water front access of the pond. My favorite was the enclosed porch that I could sit and soak in the view with my morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

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.

Serene getaway

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!
