Summary: The cottage was cute and filled with interesting decorations, including art and older photographs from surrounding areas. The use of the kayaks and canoe kept us paddling around the lake. We spent evenings playing board games on the wraparound screened-in porch. Reading with a cup of coffee on the dock was relaxing in the mornings. The sunsets over the mountains were gorgeous from the private dock. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful. We appreciated the choice of cleaning after ourselves at the end of our stay or contacting their cleaning service at inexpensive rate. We highly recommend this Cottage at Whetstone Lake for those who enjoy exploring the lake and surrounding area and for those who want some rest and relaxation.

Summary: While everything was not a '10', we enjoyed our stay. Biggest problem was WIFI and phone reception. I spoke with the owner 2 days before arriving and was assured we would have WIFI (100% necessary for my job). That was not the case. We called her twice and phone calls were not returned. Had to make trips to nearest town to library to do my job. Had no cell phone coverage. There were many pet ants in the kitchen and bath. We found some ant traps, which we set out and that helped. The GFI in the kitchen kept tripping. The inside of camp was clean enough but the outside screened porch was not. Tree pollen and dirt covered most everything. Washing the table top produced a black rag. The grill grates on the barbeque was rusty and wouldn't clean up. Bought a new grate so we could use it. Regardless of all that, we had a great time and enjoyed the area.

Summary: Great setting on lake. Fine stock of kitchen needs. Could not get TV/VCR to work and only heat is wood burni g stove downstairs. Our last few nights were cold (mid October)! Upstairs "rooms" are basically open to each other (fine for just 2 of us but might not have been great with other non-family couples). We spent most of our time at Turning Page Farm and Brewery which was about 20 minutes away, so location and price was good for us. The host(s) were very nice and communication was easy.

Summary: First time expected to bring your own linens and towels to a rental...read the fine print! The 5 bedrooms included a loft area with 3 comfortable Queen beds separated by partial room dividers and a covered porch with two twin beds. After our initial surprise in discovering these accommodations, my friends and I embraced the experience and enjoyed discovering a wide variety of antiques, interesting old books and other curiosities. Evenings around the fire and a paddle around the peaceful pond were a plus. IF your group is looking for a quaint and rustic Maine camp experience and privacy is not an issue, this might be the place for you!

Summary: We had another great stay at the cottage on the pond, and we are looking forward to visiting again for a week in August. It really checks all the boxes for us: great swimming, excellent hiking nearby, fantastic sunsets, to name a few. We loved it. Thank you, Karen!

Summary: My time at the Whetstone Pond cottage was fantastic! The property sits close to the water, so entry and exit of the pond was super convenient. Water is above-quality, the view of the western mountains amazing. The camp itself is charming, clean, very cozy and rustic. Exactly as a Maine camp should be! The hostess was extremely responsive extremely easy to work with. A must if you are looking for a true camp experience!

Summary: Second year here. We like the place and so do my fiancee's grown children. Been making this. They have been making this pilgrimage their entire life and their mom for over 50 years. Glad to have found this nice place to continue the tradition.
