A wonderful week

Camp Dobbins is delightful. Right on South Pond, the swimming, paddling, and just watching the light change over the water from the deck were incredible. The house is comfy and rustic and had everything we needed. Vicki and Darryl are wonderful hosts. And a very sweet neighborhood cat came and hung out with us throughout the week. He was not listed as an amenity but he should be. We will be back.

Anniversary Trip and Getaway

Hosts were great to work with. Cabin was clean and homey. Its location was great for making day trips to several different places. Only negative we experienced was the noise from next door neighbor’s place - a lot of visitors and a few loud drunks. Hosts can’t prevent that from happening though.

Owners very nice and dropped in to say hello and make sure we were good.

The house is cozy with an awesome view of the lake. Very quiet and just amazing. Some day i will come again in the summer with my water craft. The property has a dock and there is a ramp to the lake on site. I love it.

Perfect for us! The owners were attentive to our needs but respected our privacy. Everything we needed was there. The fishing from the dock was great! Nice location and everything was nearby. Camden day trips, sailing, shopping, and sightseeing all just a few minutes away. Definitely recommend!

A home away from home

Our stay was just so incredible at Camp Dobbins. My fiance and I wanted a getaway from city life and we got so much more than that. It was really a home away from home where we got to cook, relax, and travel around to see the sights of Maine. Highly recommend!

Several weeks stay

Wonderful hosts. This comfortable cottage on the water had everything we needed for a comfortable extended stay. The location is quaint, the view gorgeous! Our host was easy to communicate with. Greeted us upon arrival and provided a short tour and explanation of the home, amenities and local area. Parking is one car only, we had two cars and managed the short walk for the second car with no issues. Even on a rainy day! Thanks again for sharing this gem with us. I will certainly recommend to friends and family.

Wonderful property and area.

We liked that we could kayak right off the dock. The area was great for the areas we wanted to visit while in Maine. The small house was perfect for our use and had everything we needed. The owners were friendly and helped with any questions we had about area.

Beautiful cottage on the lake

Expect a pleasant stay at this lakeside cottage. Well equipped and picturesque views overlooking the tranquil lake. Very quiet getaway. Central Maine location provided easy access to many points of interest throughout the state. Single bathroom was a struggle for four adults, especially due to its location. Central AC would have been a plus for the hot days of summer, but the extra floor fans made it bearable until the heatwave subsided. We would stay here again.

Brown Tail Moth Haven

So much to like here, but our stay was pretty much ruined by the brown tail moth infestation in the nearby trees. In addition to causing intense itching, their presence prevented me from enjoying the lovely deck. Friends chose not to visit because of them. Had the owners informed us of such, and that they had not had trees sprayed, we would not have booked this property.

Sublime

Vicki and Darryl have equipped their lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need. I was very comfortable there. It was the perfect place to get some solitude from the conference activities I was involved with. And the morning mist over the lake was sublime. Thank you Daryll and Vicki!

Very enjoyable.

We were first here in 2012. Since then, we had tried different places and can honestly say this is the finest all around by far....fishing, view, clean, hosts are great and accomodating. We are glad we came back this year and hope to be back next year.

Perfect summer lake house!

The house is exceptionally clean and very well stocked. The large deck overlooking the pond is perfect for relaxing and outdoor dining. Beds were extremely comfortable. We brought our boat and tied up at their private dock, enjoyed sunset cruising and some fishing. Darryl and Vicki were very cordial and informative about the area. Overall great experience!

Great experience

The location is awesome. It is so close to the water, it almost seemed like we were staying on a boat. The bed was very comfortable. The rest of the house had everything we needed. There is a great variety of books in the house for people that want to sit lakeside and read. I was a little intimidated by the one way camp road and tight parking, but I did find good places for turning around a vehicle, even a four door F150.

Beautiful location with central access to many destination points

The cottage had everything that we needed. It was well stocked. We especially loved having a modern functioning clothes washer and dryer. Darryl and Vicki were helpful and available but not intrusive. The view off the deck was lovely and it was perfect for relaxing when not exploring the surrounding region. The cabin appears to be off the beaten track and it is very private but it was in easy travel distance to many points of interest. Oh, and by the way Maine is awesome... loved it.

Fabulous Cottage in a great location

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and babymoon here, and enjoyed the cottage tremendously. The view from the back deck just makes you want to sit back and relax. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the lake due to the fact it was a bit cold that week. But would certainly return at a different time to this wonderful cottage to do so. The owners were right next door and greeted us when we arrived and answered any questions we had. Which was a great way to start our vacation. The kitchen was awesome and used daily, we even got a chance to boil up our own lobsters for dinner and had all the kitchen equipment needed. The cottage was near some great quaint towns that we explored and got a couple day trips in to Portland and our all time favorite Bar Harbor to see the Acadia National park. Some restaurants that we enjoyed were Red Eats, Moodys Diner, Hartstone Inn (for an amazing fancy meal), and Metcalf sub shop. All were great. Anyways I could keep going on how great this cottage and little city is but I'm sure you've gotten the point. Definitely check out this cottage for the price and location. We plan to return again. Thank your Daryll and Vicki for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your lovely cottage. The O'Conners
