My wife and I stayed 2 nights (second week of October) in one of the small cabins at the NEOC Twin Pines camp. The cabin was exactly as we expected – rustic, yet cozy. It got a little chilly at night, but the propane stove kept the cabin warm and toasty. No TV or WiFi in the cabin, but we expected this as well. This short getaway was about getting out of the city and unplugging and our cabin met our expectations. We ate breakfast and dinner at the River Drivers restaurant which is attached to the main lodge. The food was great and the service was top notch. There is a TV and WiFi service in the lodge if you need to check in with home or work. The grounds of the property are well laid out and maintained. There are plenty of activities (canoeing, hiking, biking, horseshoes, basketball, etc.) to keep you busy. There are also many quiet places to simply sit and relax and take in the natural beauty of Millinocket Lake. As for the natural beauty, WOW! We hit the fall foliage right at peak which enhanced the already stunning views of Katahdin. At sunrise and sunset, the loons struck up their eerie songs which made for a truly majestic experience. NEOC has something for everyone. If you are out for adventure or simply want to relax in a beautiful lakeside setting, NEOC will fit the bill.…
Stayed a couple of nights in the Trout Mountain lodge, large and spacious, yet comfortable and cozy too. Clean and well maintained. Looks out to the spectacular views of Lake Millinocket and Mount Khathadin. The lake is truly gorgeous and they have free kayaks you can take out. The site is scattered with campfire spots around the lake, far enough apart of afford some privacy between groups. There's also a rec center and some other outdoor activities. The staff treated us very well, everyone so friendly and obviously happy to be working at such a great place. There are also some cabins in another section of the center that are more upscale and private. Both sides have their appeal and it's beautiful. Can't wait to go back!
The words Twin Pine Camps....should be Twin Pine Wow!! We stayed in the Trout Mountain Cabin and it was amazing! We walked into a large living room with comfy leather sofas, a full kitchen with amazing views of the water, three bedrooms, a loft, and two bathrooms. We brought food to grill out for dinner and enjoyed time watching the sun set over the lake with Mt. Katahdin in the background. We stayed 2 nights and wish we would have booked for longer. This destination is a place where you can stay for a week, raft, hike, kayak (they have them right at the water's edge) eat dinner (if you don't feel like cooking) in their restaurant on property, or just sit and relax by the water. It was nice to put down our phones and computers for a few days and enjoy the serenity of this magical place.…
Just returning from 3 nights at NEOC/Twin Pines. I could not speak more highly of this resort. We stayed in a "lodge" - Loon - that is gorgeous. All of the amenities and very comfortable. Kayaks and canoes take you out on the beautiful lake with Mount Katahdin in the background. Staff is very friendly and River Drivers serves good food. Lot's of amazing adventures to be had here - then come back to a comfortable and beautiful resort. This is a special place and we will be back!
Back again this year, this year we rented one of the old cabins that has not been updated yet and it was perfect for what we needed old and rustic but clean and warm, it worked. Same friendly staff who made us feel totally at home and well fed and watered. Two perfect days of snowmobiling and amazing cold and bright sunshine with Mt Katahdin in the background. See you next year!
