    Camped here for one night while hiking Katahdin. Beautiful campground. We stayed in a cabin tent and it was wonderful! There's a volleyball court, area for a bonfire and small bar. The showers and bathrooms were really clean and the staff was very friendly. There's kayaks to rent as well and absolutely BEAUTIFUL views of Katahdin. I would definitely stay here again while hiking!

    Fresh classy dark beer on tap! Off season availability in Spring & Fall = awesome! Got the best black bean burger ever. Comes with nicely seasoned sweet potato fries by default (not extra :). They mentioned some improved outdoor features coming soon in addition to their firepit & string lights. Definitely will return. Hopefully more heavy gravity brews on the way. :) (Accidentally posted this on the place up stream earlier)

    The view of Lake Millinocket is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

    This was an amazing trip with a great guide that lived locally and knew a tone of spots. We happened to be the only guests on the moose seeing tour that evening. Our guide was very personable and knew all the good locations to see the moose. The van we were in was brand new and very comfortable. We arrive hours before our tour was to beginning and the front desk (Julie) let us roam the grounds of the resort. They have the most beautiful view of the lake which my husband and I sat and looked at for hours. I let my sister know we had to come back here and spent a week!

    What a fantastic place! I had the pleasure of accompanying my sons Junior Class outing to this…read moreresort and was impressed on many levels with this establishment. In first approach the roads were jagged and exhausted from the long winter. Being mud season this needs to be over looked but needs to be mentioned. The main lodge/restaurant is beautiful and spacious with front desk access as well as hostess stand to guide you to your table which looks out to Mt. Katahdin. Staff is in a word. AMAZING! Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. When I had a health issue arise unexpectedly, Shorey, an employee in the restaurant went above and beyond to help resolve my ailment. She was successful in helping me get the help I needed. Our group took up most, if not all of the sleeping cabins. The group of chaperones I was with stayed in the "Loon" cabin. This cabin is nicer then the house I live in! All the comfort of home plus radiant heat floors, concrete counter tops, full kitchen, and fireplace! Plenty of sleeping arrangements with three bedrooms with queen sized beds and one room had an additional twin bed. In sun room there was a bed as well. Ethan Allen furniture through out. At the River Driver restaurant we had breakfast and dinner nightly and there were no repeats in offerings and EVERYTHING was delicious! Compliments to the chef for the variety offered as well as offering Vegan and Gluten Free options. 120+ is not easy to handle and the staff did n excellent job of keeping things clean and neat.

    The oxymoronic Trout Mountain exists, and it's magical!…read more We stayed two nights at this, a premium cabin aground the Twin Pine campground, for an Independence Day wedding. Granted, I can't speak to the plethora of available fun things, like volleyball, horseshoes, a rec center with ping pong, board games and screen doors, and all the kayaking Millinocket Lake has to offer, basically because a hurricane was blowing it all away. Check-in for the temporarily residential side of the New England Outdoor Center is sparkling, as its recently renovated to feature what we'd discover to be a damn fine in-house restaurant. Staff are an orchard of peaches for fruit-based metaphor, or a patch of blueberries if its more regionally appropriate, and while everything seems to be pencil and paper, they were organized. Back to Trout Mountain! With a full kitchen, proximity to all facilities and more beds than the Bunny Ranch, it's essentially a palace at the end of the AT. As such, it's only fitting it sleeps 14 (or 24 college kids, because stop playin'). The only rub - even when you roll deep, you're still looking at anywhere from $70-100 per glamper per night, and three of the beds are in a shared loft. Singles pad, anyone? The wifi is extremely spotty - tough luck keeping a signal to check email, let alone stream reruns of Big Brother on Hulu. Dog friendly, too, so bring ya pup, bring ya wife. Leave your iPhone. Breathe fresh air.

    Tomhegan has beautiful views of the water, Moosehead Lake is amazing, but I will not be going here…read morewith my family anymore. They do not wash the comforters after guests leave, and I don't believe they do any cleaning to the cabins after guests leave. The guests are required to clean the cabin upon departure, or get charged $250 for cleaning services. Your paying between $2000 to $5000 for a week to stay here. The cabin I was in had cobwebs. The dishes were not cleaned, forks and spoons still had food on them. An animal was under my bed 2 nights in a row. Now my family was willing to over look these things because the lake is phenomenal, but Tomhegan blacklisted my Uncle for complaining of bed bugs in the Lodge. My family can still rent from them but we won't be. If a company is going to charge you thousands to stay for the week, you'd expect them to take a bed bug infestation seriously.

    I am a card-carrying city girl. I work in the city, live in the city, carry two cell phones,…read moreprance over steaming subway grates in 4-inch high heels, etc. Nature isn't really in my bag of tricks. So when Boyfriend suggested venturing to Maine for a vacation getaway, I prepared for the worst. Luckily, I ended up with the best in Tomhegan. Situated on the pristine and pine-lined shore of Moosehead Lake and a quick jaunt from the Canadian border, Tomhegan is definitely remote. No phone, no television, no internet--and it's wonderful. This is the perfect spot for an escape with someone special or an annual excursion with your extended family. We stayed three nights in Diana, which was the original cabin at Tomhegan dating back to the early 1900s. I was incredibly impressed with the comfort and cozy style of our abode! Two picnic tables, colorful Adirondack chairs, and a two-tiered deck with a covered porch welcomed us when we arrived. If there's such a thing as backwoods cabin chic, the inside of Diana is it. True log structure, trophy game and vintage snow gear decorating the walls, an iron wood burning stove, and even a claw foot tub made it feed like home. Additionally, the fully-furnished kitchen made cooking each night a breeze. About 30 yards from our doorstep and nestled on the shoreline was our own private fire pit, stocked with wood and ready for massive s'more production. While Diana was perfect for the two of us, it could comfortably sleep up to eight. All for around $150 a night in mid-June! A steal, if you ask me. The grounds at Tomhegan are equally stunning. Like, if eight-year-old me was going to draw a picture of nature from her imagination, Tomhegan is what you'd get. Baby animals frolicking at your feet, a crystal-clear lake glistening in the sunshine during the day, and the entire Milky Way at your fingertips in the evening. Simply gorgeous. A few additional tips for the nature-bound: -The nearest grocery is about 55 minutes south in the small town of Greenville, Maine. While there's a small camp store on-site, you'll want to stock up here before heading north. -Leave your Mini Cooper at home, To access Tomhegan, first drive down a narrow country road. Then turn onto a gravel road. Then turn onto a dirt road. Then drive through the forest and over a one-lane wooden bridge while watching out the window for moose. Don't turn around, you're almost there. -Fishermen, rejoice. Boyfriend was catching brook trout like buttah from a nearby inlet as well as from the shoreline by our fire pit. -Check out Tomhegan's Facebook page for additional photos that aren't posted on the website. All in all, a true gem of Maine's Moosehead Lake region. This city girl will absolutely will be returning in the future!

Stan and Patti work tirelessly to ensure everyone has a great experience whether it is a group fishing or a young family vacationing. They respond quickly to everyone's needs and concerns. The place is spotless and well maintained. I was witness to several incidents that the previous negative reviewer inaccurately described and also the damage he or his family left. They were asked to leave and the people there, including me, were glad they did. Stan and Patti have big hearts and long fuses but when people act in a manner that impacts their livelihood, property, or the experience of other vacationers, after a few warnings you are asked to leave. It is why I keep coming back and year after year and the experience keeps getting better and better. It is a hidden gem but only for those who are respectful of others. I'm heading back again in a few weeks and would recommend it to anyone.
