"Andy's Place"

A small year round Cottage on Beautiful Whetstone Pond with Majestic Russell Mountain emerging right from the shoreline across from you. Easy access to ATV and Snowmobile Trails. Great Summertime Fishing, sorry Whetstone is closed to Ice Fishing, but good Ice fishing just down the street.

Great place for a family getaway

I stayed here with my sibling and some cousins and it was excellent. The camp has everything you need, was very tidy, and spacious for its size. The view was beautiful and the porch is a great place to hang out.

Awesome time at Andy’s Place

Upon arrival we were met with the beautiful view and upon entering the cottage, amazed with the decor and atmosphere. Family and I had such a great time with the water front access of the pond. My favorite was the enclosed porch that I could sit and soak in the view with my morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

As always, we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of Andy's Place. This four day stay was one of our longer ones and we had beautiful weather that allowed us to be outside and enjoy the pond. We love that the property has kayaks for us to use. The spacious screened in porch was a favorite place to view the fascinating habits of the loons as well as sunsets and even moonsets. The camp is comfortable, check-in/check-out is easy, and the hosts are helpful and attentive. Our sixth time staying here, obviously we love it!

Oh Andy’s Place is magical. It had everything we could have possibly hoped for: clean water for endless swimming, floating and kayaking. Loons calling to each other after sunset. Morning coffee with a view from the screened in porch. A sweet firepit for evening s’mores. A dock for frog & watching and a cozy interior to snuggle in on the brisker nights. Thanks for a great relaxing getaway.
