"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.

"Just what the doctor ordered" absolutely loved Andy's place. The cottage was decorated beautifully for the fall season. Everything we needed, including firewood for the fire pit outside and the wood stove. It was great having the kayaks on site for a paddle on the pond. The screened porch was awesome. A lot of attention to detail.I would highly recommend this property !!!
