Fish Camp is a charming little cottage in a peaceful setting on the lake. The property owner was very responsive while booking our stay and flexible with allowing us to check-in early--much appreciate! We suspected we may have been the first to stay this season as the cottage smelled VERY musty when we first entered, and there wasn't shampoo, conditioner or body soap available in the second floor bathroom. We opened windows to air it out, and the musty smell dissipated within a few hours but it was disappointing to be hit with that when we walked in. The box of coffee K Cups in the pantry was completely empty. We made a quick trip to the store to pick up the missing items we needed for our stay. The property was clean and conveniently located to all the locations we needed to visit in West Branch for a family wedding, so, overall, it was a pleasant stay.
Wonderful place and locationâŠif you are fishing, definitely check the seasonal limitations/ rules on the river with regards to closings on parts of the river for fishing.
We were blessed to have incredible weather for September, so we were able to enjoy this property about as much as you can in a short five days. The property and host are as advertised and more. Fishing, kayaking, hanging out in nature... what more could we have asked for? Thank you, Allen!
The stay was very nice place was awesome felt very homey the basement was great especially with all the rain we had but best of all the fishing was great
Clean, lots of room. Dinning room with a great view of the water. Relaxing atmosphere. Plenty of room outside. Close to town but not too close. Nice game room. I would book again.
We had a quiet & relaxing time overall. One of us has mobility issues so the stairs & step into the shower, and step down onto the deck were a minor issue (had to buy a step stool).
Our family vacation at "Fish Camp" was wonderful, blending comfort and adventure seamlessly. Nestled by a serene lake and dam, we caught many small fish, and explored the calm lake by kayak. So convenient having shopping & restaurants nearby. The cottage is itself was a cozy & clean, providinuneveryone.
We really had a great time! We enjoyed the game room and it was close enough to the places we wanted to go. We did choose not to go swimming as the water didn't look very inviting. It is called fish camp though, not swim camp. Instead we drove to the beach. We enjoyed the kayaks and watching the wildlife outside. We were a bit surprised by the amount of goose poop in the yard. After a little clean up we had a clear path though. Having 2 bathrooms was a huge plus as well! We really appreciated that our host was very good about responding quickly when we had questions. We enjoyed our stay at fish camp.
We really enjoyed this place! Very clean, looked freshly painted , nice furniture, AC was much appreciated! The host thought of many details and supplies which made it very comfortable ! Kitchen was very well stocked. We loved the fishing -caught a big 20â pike right off the front grassy area! Kayaks were great, very close to golf courses. We would definitely stay here again!
Our group of 7 stayed for a week and we had so much fun. Even the non fishermen found plenty to do! The game room was a great way for the adults and teenagers to spend the evenings together. The lake is very peaceful and the house is very clean and comfortable.
We had a wonderful time at this home. Everything was as Allan had said it would be and the fishing was great! Beautiful location and very peaceful. Will definitely be back!
Perfect fathers day getaway. Great grandpa and grandson fishing experience. Very comfortable setting with walkout patio between the basement and the stream. Nice place to hang out early and enjoy your coffee and some reminiscing. The table stream side is handy. Definitely awesome views of the lake and wildlife.
We were in West Branch for a baseball tournament and the house was perfect for our family and was only a mile or so from the ball fields. We'll be looking to reserve this one again next year.
Property was good,we bring seniors had difficulty with step down to the porch, porch to front deck was far greater than an 8.5 inches and dangerous. Stairs going to upstairs almost impossible to climb.
The property was amazing you have the best of lakefront, views and river front. Listening to the dam and river was so relaxing, the lake is also very calm and the views are really nice. Fishing was amazing we caught largemouth bass, rock bass, and brown trout in the river we even cooked the fish over the fire. The house was cozy everyone had enough space (this was nice especially with 3 young adult sons). My sons especially enjoyed the basement pool table later in the evenings. House is very equipped and clean. Property is private one of the best home rentals I have booked for a holiday weekend.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and thoughtfully appointed. Great fishing on the lake, caught several 37 inch pike! Close to town, but very quiet and secluded.
