We really enjoyed staying at the cabin and caught the leaf changes at their peak. The best color of our trip was in and immediately around your cabin in Monson. Loved the history of the camp and met several neighbors who were extremely friendly and helpful.

We had 8 total adults staying at the Finch camp to celebrate my cousin’s and my own milestone birthdays. I was worried about all of us sharing one bathroom but even for the 2.5 days that all 8 guests were present, it was fine! We also could fit four cars in the parking area on the side. The mattresses on all the beds in the bedrooms were incredibly comfortable. Upstairs bedrooms naturally got quite warm from summer heat but the cabin had fans in every bedroom and ceiling fans in the living room to help. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, etc. (We did our big grocery shopping in Dover Foxcroft and supplemented with trips to Monson’s General Store.) We used the camp’s kayaks on Lake Hebron and went out three times, including with our own additional kayaks. The camp’s kayaks were built for tandem but we successfully used them as solo paddlers. One of my cousins enjoyed fishing off the dock with live bait from the local Irving’s. We also used the inflatable floats from the porch bin and also played the camp’s corn hole boards. We lived on the porch a lot during our stay just because it was so nice out there. Owner was very responsive about a couple minor questions/issues that came up during the stay (e.g the caretaker ran some light bulbs over when we found we needed them.)

Finch Camp was a beautiful place to have a family gathering. It is a very quiet place save for the calls of loons and the occasional sound of rain dripping through the trees. The shore of Lake Hebron is just steps away and we enjoyed time sitting at the lake edge and time kayaking around the small islands in the center of the lake. The town center of Monson, with galleries, a small but well-curated general store, a welcoming pub, and antique stores, is an extremely short drive or a pleasant walk from the camp. The camp itself is warm and homey with a lot of pleasant touches and a sense of history integrated into modern comforts. I would happily stay here again.

Nice camp with lots of room. Very quite and peaceful. Internet boost worked great. Fire pit in pictures make you believe it's right in front of the camp but is actually a little walk down the road to the lake. Overall it was a great getaway.

We loved our stay at the Finch camp. David was proactive and very responsive in his communication, and the cabin itself was true to its description — rustic and charming with the kind of wear and tear that as visitors, we appreciated as markers of family stories and generations of memories. The weather was simply ideal — so much color to enjoy as the leaves were peaking, warm days on the water in the canoe, sunset kayaking, crisp morning runs and brunch on the porch. We brought groceries for meals, and the necessities were well stocked. In hindsight, there were plenty of places in Monson we would have enjoyed grabbing a bite to eat. The General Store is lovely, and it's really wonderful to see the life and energy on Main Street. There's so much to enjoy in the area, but we ended up really just slowing down and letting the days unfold slowly and naturally. For that reason, we didn't get the hiking in I'd originally planned to fit in during our stay, so we'll plan to return this gem!

We both loved our stay at Finch Camp. If you are looking to get away to the country this is a great choice. Kayak, canoe with private dock and great fishing. The fireplace is beautiful and the house is loaded with charm from generations past. I loved this northern Maine getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at the Finch Camp over the long holiday weekend. We lucked out with peak foliage, warm days and cool evenings. David was a great owner to work with. He provided us with a wealth of information. My husband and I grew up going to camps in New England and our stay at the Finch Camp really brought us back to our childhoods. We loved the rustic charm, but loved the upgrades. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked which allowed us to spend a gloomy day inside cooking to our hearts content, and the updated tub/shower had great pressure. We loved the size of the house - it allowed us to spread out, but also be cozy together watching movies and enjoying the fireplace. One day we hiked to Moxie Falls, then drove the scenic byway to Greenville where we explored and ate lunch. One evening we had dinner in Monson at the Lakeshore House which we all loved! We were sad that time didn't allow us to use the canoe/kayaks, the firepit, or looking for moose. But that just means we will have to return!

Nice "camp" cottage in woods with other homes around you, yet you feel like you are alone. Quiet, beautiful, on lake. Lovely home. Enjoyed staying there - centrally located to go many different ways or just stay there to enjoy the scenery and lake. Didn't have time to use canoe or kayak but enjoyed being there.

The property is in a lakeside community and is just as it looks in the pictures. The owner is very responsive and helpful. The camp has a 1950's vibe and is welcoming and warm. The kitchen is super well equipped. The bedrooms are ample size and the beds are very comfortable. The camp is suitable for multiple generations. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs and one is right next to the bathroom. The lake is beautiful, calm and peaceful and we were able to take out the canoe right around sunset one day - spectacular. Loved sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch. The town center is small and much less frenetic than nearby Greenville. We hiked up Mt. Kineo in Rockwood - the views of Moosehead Lake were amazing.

The house is a great base for exploring the areas around Lake Hebron and Moosehead Lake. The adjacent lakefront lot with kayaks, a canoe and an outdoor fire pit make it extra special.

The cobin was great, a trip back in time. Reminded me of childhood vacations. Our family really loved the place, including two teens who are usually attached to the most modern conveniences. It was a beautiful spot on the lake and had everything we needed. Can't wait to go back!

We had an awesome time at the Finch camp! Enough boats and lake for the whole family, total cottage charm and just what we were looking for. Also enjoyed the proximity of the AT for some hiking and several beautiful waterfalls not too far away. Monson general store supplemented the groceries that we brought with and gave us some WiFi when needed during our 4day stay. Would def recommend this rental if you are an appreciator of the cottage experience :)

Finch Camp feels like you’re going to your grandparents place at the lake. Everything is there that you need and nothing that you don’t (like perfect cell service that I didn’t want!) The house is cozy and well stocked. The big bathroom and great hot shower was a nice surprise! The lake is clear and clean and we loved sitting on the dock and canoeing around the lake. Hope to come back next summer for 2 weeks.

The finch camp was an amazing experience for my family and I the cabin has tons of space to spread out and the lake has breathtaking sunsets and sounds of loons though out the day the camp is like a blast from the past reminded me of the camps I grew up going to and was great to share that with my family owner was amazing and called midweek just to make sure everything was ok cabin was fully stocked with everything you could need and moose head lake is a short ride away with lots of activities. We had an amazing experience and can’t wait to return

We had the best time at this rental. Super spacious house. We loved going down to the dock each night and watching/listening to the loons. Owner gave lots of advice on how to spot a moose and we were able to see 4 during our trip! Awesome! Also, don't miss out on a seaplane ride over Moosehead Lake!

Very nice location and host who clearly communicated everything and was very helpful. Will be back next year.

Wonderfully authentic Maine camp, all the amenities one needs while being that step back to a more simple time. Very comfortable and relaxing. A good, quiet place to reconnect with family in front of the fireplace, around the table in the airy kitchen, or on the wrap around porch. Lovely camp.

My boyfriend and I felt that this home far exceeded our expectations and made for a very special first getaway for us. David really went out of his way to make the home feel extra clean and safe during the pandemic, and he was always quick to respond to any questions. My boyfriend and I both really enjoy nature photography and spending time outdoors, and we felt that this was a great location for us. Enjoying a beautiful sunrise canoe trip where were were completely engulfed in fog was really memorable and resulted in some beautiful photos! The kitchen had everything we needed to make stew and we really loved the fireplace as well. It is truly a special place and I would love to go back, and we thank David for sharing his beautiful home with us!

This is the third year in a row we have stayed at David's cabin on Lake Hebron. It is an amazing place to get away and explore the beauty of Maine. Plenty of activities to do on the lake and hiking on the AT and around Moosehead Lake is within a short drive. The house itself is very cozy, clean and charming. David has always been quick to respond to any requests or needs. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Quiet, clean, friendly, great value and great lake access and use: kayaks, swimming. Relax, recharge, renewed.

We really enjoyed our one week vacation. The house had everything we needed. The lake was beautiful. We would love to come back again.

.

Excellent communication to/from the owner. Camp is easily accessible and good parking. The drive (from anywhere) to the camp is absolutely beautiful. The dock is great; nice and sturdy. Quiet road, very nice people. This is a true camp experience with comforts of home. We would stay here again.

The camp was very nice and clean. Plenty of room. We assumed that the camp was directly on the lake. It is just a short walk to the dock but there is no view of the lake from the camp as there is another camp directly in front of you. We had a very relaxing stay though and was able to catch some fish.

My family and I had a great stay at David’s lake house. The home was very roomy, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The home was heated when we arrived (we stayed in October do the nights were cool). David was great to work with. We’d stay again.

Another FANTASTIC stay at the Finch cabin! This was our second stay at the cabin on Lake Hebron and it was a wonderful as the first time. It is a rustic cabin that reminds me of our family bungalow I used to visit as a child. I even had the pleasure of meeting one of the several 4th generation residents who recited tales from the last 60 years as clear as they were yesterday. The morning canoe trips on the lake offer splendid views of the fall colors. There is plenty to do in the local area. The town of Monson is making great strides to improve the community. The new business and artisans are all very friendly and inviting. The nearby town of Greenville has much to offer as well. There are numerous trails in the area including several waterfalls and a crash site of a B52 which still has the aircraft debris. David, the cabin owner, is a pleasure to work with. He responds quickly to inquiries and ensured our stay was enjoyable. He promptly saw to any issue we encountered. Finch Cabin offers a quite getaway on a majestic lake that is simply unforgettable.

This was our third year staying at Finch Camp and it's beginning to feel a lot like home. You'll want for nothing at this camp: the kitchen is well equipped and there's plenty of books and games to keep everyone occupied on rainy days. New this year was a well tuned guitar -- wish we knew how to play! The lake is great for a quiet paddle where it's easy to feel like you're the only soul on earth - just you and the loons. Plenty of options for hiking are within the area - easy, moderate and difficult. As a side note, it has been interesting to watch Monson transform in the few years since the Libra Foundation infused millions into the town in the hopes of revitalizing the economy by establishing an artist colony. A visit to the Monson Historical Society (above the Appalachian Trail Visitor Center) is recommended.

This was a nice size cottage that almost takes you back in time! It was a great time visiting with family.

We have been back to Dave's camp in Monson twice now, and plan to keep coming back. The cabin is everything you could ask for a quiet, relaxing getaway on a beautiful lake. Great hiking close by. Hope to stay again next summer!

This is our second time renting this lakefront home. A lot of improvements have been made to make our stay more enjoyable since our last stay. Location is a short trip to Moosehead Lake and not too far from Bar Harbor to enjoy a authentic Maine Lobster boil. My favorite was Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound. Sat down by the lake made a fire in the pit and just enjoyed the company talking on how peaceful it is. Will definitely return.

My family ( siblings and a few cousins) thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay in Monson, Maine. Growing up, we spent a lot of time at our grandparents house in Monson ( the former big slate house on Tenney Hill). It was wonderful to reminisce in a town that has so many memories for us. And thanks to this large cottage, we get to make new memories. We didn’t let a rainy Saturday dampen our spirits! We still went to the lake, toured waterfalls, walked around downtown, spent time at the Monson Museum and paid our respects to relatives at the cemetery. It was our third time renting this special cottage, the last time being in 2015. We noticed the great updates and found everything to be just perfect! We enjoyed every minute! Thank you David, for sharing your place with others. It was nice to just unplug for the weekend and take in all of the sights of beautiful and peaceful surroundings. It most certainly is a little slice of heaven. We look forward to renting it again next September! Thanks again!

It was great to get away from it all - the only issue we had was we thought we were able to look out on the water sitting on the porch -and thought there was a beach area. My son had fun fishing but there wasn't anything really to catch - my misunderstanding. One of the cutest cottages on that side of lake.
