This was the most peaceful, relaxing vacation ive ever had. The scenery and sinrises are unforgettable and breathtaking. The cabin had everything you could ever need during your stay. Patti is wonderful and i thank her dearly for allowing my fur babies the opportunity to share this beautiful experience. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you Patti.
Relaxing and peaceful long weekend, exactly what we needed. We spent almost all day every day out on the deck - the view is amazing! Perfect for our small family and dog.
We loved our stay at camp my own! Such a cute and cozy place and perfect for my husband and two dogs. We brought our boat and did a lot of fishing. Lots of small mouth! The place is amazing being right on the water and we loved hanging on the dock. Such a special spot !
I went with a girlfriend and my Jack Russell Terriers. We loved the Sunrise from the deck every morning. We loved everything about the deck. Pine needles do come down fast all day long but there is a leaf blower to clean them off which was very much appreciated. We spend most of our time between the dock, deck and front porch. We stayed a week and hope to come back again.
Cabin has everything you need. Peace and quiet by the lake with a homey charm, very relaxing. Property manager was quick to accommodate with any questions, concerns/mishaps. Very friendly and welcoming. 11/10 would stay again
We had a great stay, the cabin is older and outdated, but gave a warm cozy feeling. The bathroom is detached in a shed, but all functioned as it should. Would definitely recommend.
Reminds me of 50 years ago going to our camp as a teenager. Gives us great pleasure to show and teach our 5 granddaughters the joy of family as we say i maine"the war life should br:
Upon my arrival it took me over an hour to gain access to the property as the host provided the incorrect keylock combination and was unreachable for sometime, through multiple forms of communication.
Entering the cabin I was met with a large pile of sawdust in the middle of the carpet, which the owner told me to vacuum up. There was also a damaged lamp, the shade was torn almost completely in half. There was trash in the barrels in the kitchen and the bathroom. Which by the way is not even located in the cabin. It is located in a shed next to the dirt driveway.
The amenities list a washer and dryer, the washer would not spin out the laundry and the dryer would not get hot. In the shower we discovered a very nice men's razor along with soap and shampoo, which we disposed of. It was abundantly clear that the previous guest did not clean up after themselves nor had any kind of property management been by to even inspect the cabin. I say this confidently as there was $20 on the table, I presume from the previous guests use of fire wood.
Halfway through my stay the Wi-Fi stopped working, even after attempting to reset the router, we were with out it and any form of cell service for the remainder of our stay.
There is one full size bed, a day bed on the screen porch and a pull out couch. There is not a bedroom but a bed behind a curtain.
The lake is beautiful.
Such an ideal spot on the lake. Easy in and out with beautiful views and fun things to do. Katahdin was visible with beautiful sunrises. Kayaking, fire pit, protection from a rainstorm. Rustic, yet all necessities provided.
To start it is a step up from camping but iâd rather go camping.
My wife and I have rented MANY properties throughout Maine so we have comparisons. My number one problem is I donât think anyone checks the property after visitors have left. Case in point we went get the cushions so we could relax but the bin they were stored in is not water proof and the cushions were wet, a couple didnât dry till Thursday. A soaking wet dishcloth on the counter, garbage not brought out to the curb on Tuesday, three bags in the can. The vacuum cleaner and sweeper FILLED with dirt and hair. You are supposed to clean before you leave but the mop still had packaging on it so how did the previous people mop? The owners are not inspecting what they expect. The furniture was worn which is one thing but terribly dirty! As far as six people, good luck. Oh, and it is NOT safe for young children and the electrical outlets are overloaded, a serious hazard.
OVER PRICED! With that said it is a BEATIFUL spot! Great swimming
We had a great time. Loved being able to bring the pets on vacation with us. Beautiful spot right on the water. We had a little trouble with bees flying around the deck area. When we would eat outside they would start coming around. Note to people who bring dogs who like to swim- there is no easy access in and out of the water except for climbing on rocks, which made our dogs nails bleed a bit. Didnât seem to bother the dogs though. There is a grocery store about 20 minutes away which was very convenient. We cooked on the grill every night and had sâmores by the campfire. Weâll be back again!
Enjoyed a quiet weekend on the lake, listening to the waves. Caught some beautiful sunrises right from the deck. My dogs enjoyed swimming in the lake and lounging on the deck. One of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've stayed.
Couldn't have ask for a better lake cottage. The weather rolling in, sunsets, fishing, waking up and jumping in. My daughter and I had a great time. Very relaxing!
Quiet, wonderful cabin with everything we needed! Ducks, loons, spectacular sunrises and watching the train way off in the distance made our stay extra special.
a perfect rustic little cabin on an idyllic lake! We had a wonderful time... the cabin is exactly as it is described... 2 steps up from camping with everything you could ever need. Perfect spots to sit and watch the ever changing moods of this quiet lake. We were early in the season so appreciated the closed in porch for warmth, but also the deck, the dock, the firepit. Nothing like waking up to a picture perfect sunrise in bed! Patti is so responsive and helpful, all the information was clear. A great experience!
If you are looking for peace and quite on a beautiful lake, this little camp is it. I've never seen water clearer, the deck of the camp is right over the water. My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay. Thank-you Patti for allowing us the visit.
This is our third summer in a row at "Camp My Own". Every year just gets better. This year made it special thanks to pat making a week available for our family. With all the nonsense this year has brought.. and spending less time with family... this week together brought us closer than ever... Thanks so much pat again... hope to talk next year.

Our family of 4 stayed for 4 nights of our August vacation. We had such a great experience as this was out first VRBO booking. Patti was great and very responsive to any questions. Parking was definitely difficult with a large Toyota Tundra but other than that we had a great time!
The place was clean and the deck was nice. My Nephew slept on the screen porch and said it was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked nicely with pans and dishes. The lake was beautiful and crystal clear. The only issue we had was the driveway. We could not get the boat around the tight corner. Other than that we had a nice time.
The deck is the deal. On the lake, over the water & plenty of seating. Charmingly tucked away, the cottage provides all the necessities. Bathroom, shower & laundry w/ clothesline suited us perfectly. So happy to have discovered this gem. Thanks Patti...
I was born in Milo Maine, just a few miles from Schoodic Lake. Because both of my parents were born here, I was blessed to have spent summers on the lake, as did my children. We moved away when I was 3, to southern NH, but my mother purchased this vintage cabin so we could continue to make memories with be Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and childhood friends. I host, to help others make memories of their own, as proven by my many repeat renters who return year after year.
This vintage cabin takes you back to a simpler, less stressful time, where close quarters builds intimacy and we are reminded of the healing power of nature.
