Welcome to The Simple Life....a long-time family camp owned for over 50 years! This unique fishing camp, built just after WWII, sits lakeside overlooking glacial Branch Pond. Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets with swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, and hiking right at your doorstep. If you're lucky, you just might get to see a Bald Eagle sitting on some boulders in the water across from our camp. We have binoculars on a table in the living room to help you get a closer look. Layout: Two bedrooms offer a double/full bed in each room. There is a nice, semi-private hallway captain's twin bed close to one of the bathrooms. The couch offers an additional queen sofa bed as well. The living room seating consists of a couch and two rocking chairs, cable TV and a floor to ceiling sliding window overlooking the lake. The dining room has a new ceiling fan/light and offers seating for up to 6 adults comfortably, with an additional leaf available for the table. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, stove, toaster oven, crock pot and microwave. The kitchen sink has a filter for drinking water. Kitchen set-up includes plates, silverware, bowls, pots, pans, glassware, mugs and a lobster pot! There are 1.5 baths with a shower with plenty of hot water, towels and washcloths, washer and dryer, free internet, window fans as well as standing fans and a large variety of games to play. There is an above ground deck attached to the camp with outdoor furniture along with another deck on the ground closer to the lake and a nearby fire pit. Outside for your water enjoyment is approximately 200 feet of beachfront property. To the left is a dock with a ladder (no diving, due to some boulders under the water) and bumpers to protect boats. There is another nearby swimming area to the far right which is good for young children to play in the water. We have a canoe that you may use. Due to Covid-19 we are unable to supply lifejackets. You will need to bring your own lifejackets if you will be using the canoe. LIFEJACKETS ARE MANDATORY FOR USING THE CANOE . The dock may be used for your own boat. We've had both speedboats and a pontoon boat tied up to the dock at different times. All boats must be inspected before being placed in the water to make certain that there are no invasive plants attached to the bottom of them. There is a state boat launch where you can have your boat inspected for free. There is a $100 fine for not having your boat inspected. This is necessary for the continued health of the lake. Branch Lake/Pond was listed as one of the clearest lakes in Maine and in Down East Magazine as one of the top 12 lakes in Maine for swimming. It is well known for great fishing.
