Do yourself a favor and go ahead and book yourself a vacation here. My family used to take my…read moresister and me here when we were kids and we loved it then and we just went again last weekend and love it just as much now (maybe even more). West Branch Pond Camps has been family owned for generations and you can tell that the owners love this place and have put a lot of work into making unforgettable getaways for the people who come here. Many of the people who come here keep coming back. Just this last weekend we met a group who have been coming to WBP for 10 years, another that has been coming since he was a kid in the 50s, and my family has been coming for more more than 20 years, although this was my first time back as an adult. And then of course there are people coming for the first time. My point is that people love it enough to keep coming back year after year. It's located about 45 minutes outside of Greenville on West Branch Pond. They have 8 cabins (with one more being renovated) all with screened in porches facing the pond. Each of the cabins are quite different. The cabins are pretty basic, so I wouldn't go if you're more into luxery hotels. Cabin 10 (yes, the number goes to 10 even though there are only 8 because there are a couple of numbers missing) is huge - much bigger than the others. Then there are cabins that have two beds with a divider between them, and some that have more separate rooms. Be aware that at least one of the cabins (cabin 1) doesn't have a real bathroom door, just a curtain. All cabins have wood stoves for warmth (or s'mores), access to a dock with row boats and canoes (some also have kayaks), and like I said, a screened in porch facing the beautiful pond. The price you pay includes delicious home cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lunch and dinner both include a freshly made dessert, which, if you're lucky will include their amazing apple pie. Thursday night is the famous prime rib night which is so good that locals come in for dinner if there's room. If you pick any local berries, you can have them in your pancakes for breakfast (best pancakes ever). While they may occasionally serve canned veggies, you're more likely to get veggies from their garden if you're there at the right time for it. I personally loath canned vegetables, but am willing to put that aside because the rest of the food is fantastic. As for things to do, there's great hiking, canoeing, rowing, fishing (so I hear), swimming, playing board games, reading, berry picking, and napping to be done here. What you will not be doing: watching tv, talking on the phone, surfing the web. If you get desperate for some cell coverage or just want to get into town, you can head to Greenville and check out Moosehead Lake, but personally, I welcome an escape from technology for a few days. Oh, and there's also whitewater rafting nearby.

This was a terrible experience and am stunned by the carelessness of this establishment.

We also ate at the Quarry in Monson during our stay. Very very windy roads, be careful of wildlife at night.

It was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Although at one point, I thought I'd rather lye down in the woods and die than continue on - I'd do it again. The owner Steven meets you in the pitch-black parking lot of a rundown bakery (that for some reason doesn't have an address). You follow his truck deep into the woods of Abbot, Maine (a place that's barely on maps) and wonder if this website you found is actually an elaborate front for a cereal killer. You're suspicions do not subside when you climb into his truck and see that he's wearing a lightweight track suit - it's January, and nighttime, and below zero. Next thing you know he's pulling puppies from the back of his truck, and you're dodging dog tongues and sticking eager husky legs through harnesses. In two minutes time, you've been briefed on mushing your own dog team. You blink and Steven's taken off with his team, you're all alone, and it's your turn to follow. Any romantic ideas you had leave when you lose feeling in your toes or when you're pushing the sled up 90 degree hills ...or holding on for dear life down them...when your lead dog chases a rabbit off the trail and you spend the next 15 minutes untangling him... when you pound your complimentary hot chocolate to quench the thirst gained from running through snow banks for eight miles or to melt the ice crystals you can actually feel forming on your lungs... When your boyfriend, who is in much better shape than you are and doesn't smoke a pack a day groans when you summit a steep root-covered hill only to find another steeper rootier one in its place. Don't let the "Moonlit Memories" package fool you - this trip is more outward bound than romantic interlude. The owner doesn't hold your hand. He keeps ahead and lets you do your own thing. It's fun in the way I imagine it'd be fun to be shipwrecked but then build a raft that floats you home. The website says this trip is has a difficulty level of easy to moderate - that's debatable. What isn't is that this was an amazing experience, and even though my boyfriend and I didn't gaze into each other's eyes the whole time - we were too busy swearing, laughing, and wheezing - it's a cool exercise in team work and, to some degree, survival. My advice: The owner is cool, don't worry. Actually read the pre-sledding instructions he sends you, but don't let them frighten you away. And, if you aren't accustomed to running for long periods of time - prepare to get your ass kicked.

For the last ten years I've been going to the Caribbean for winter break. This year, even though…read morewe've had record snow, I decided to change things up and head North. I chose Greenville Maine because of Moosehead lake. I wanted to be in the biggest town that had ample lodging and recreational facilities. I'm pleased to say I made the right choice. I only had three days to spend and today was dedicated to dog-sledding. Let me make it clear that I'm not particularly hearty nor athletic. Our guides and our dogs were all charming and a pleasure to be with. They were actually the perfect guides for me: they cheerfully responded to any question and pointed out sites of interest. But, if you wanted to be quiet they were quiet too. The day started out with a very informative safety primer and instructions. We got to help harness the dogs distract them while Stephen and Zach got everything else set up - then off we went. It was fast and furious at first but settled down to a lovely ride. There were some Youza moments along the way to keep you on the edge of your sled and some beautiful scenery. Over 95% of the ride was on trails that did not allow snowmobiles - only cross country skiers. I'm 60, over-weight and out of shape. In other words, if I can do it, you can do it. Since we spent a full day we stopped at an off-the-grid lodge for a delicious lunch served by really nice people. I never felt like we were being rushed and at the end of a long day Stephen took us on a ride through town, since we hadn't seen much of it yet. Overall a wonderful treat - I would do it again in a heartbeat.
