Took my husband rafting on the Penobscot for his birthday this past weekend and we had a blast! We camped at the beautiful Penobscot Outdoor Center which was great but next time I will look into a cabin so we can bring our yellow lab along as dogs are only allowed in the cabins. Our guide was David Wells and he was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about the river and the surrounding areas and he took good care of us all. We did a lot of swimming but the water was beautiful so we enjoyed it! We hope to come back soon and do it all over again! Everyone was so kind and friendly that I would gladly recommend NEOC to anyone looking for a fun outdoor adventure!

Recently just came back from a two-day rafting trip on the Penobscot with NEOC. We did the whole river on Saturday and the dirty double on Sunday. We stayed in one of the Twin Pine Lodges which are simply amazing. Very clean and well maintained. As for the rafting itself, we found it very well organized and everything was explained very well before hit the water. As for the guides, I had the pleasure of rafting with both Kathy and Jenny who were both very cool and very knowledgeable of the river which is a plus. Overall, the trip was great and I would definitely chose them again!

Kath and I had a SUPER weekend — from the serenity of the cabin tents at the POC, to Becca's capable driving thru the thrills of Exterminator, et al, to great meals at the River Driver restaurant ... and finding a bull moose up at Sandy Stream Pond on Sunday AM, it really felt like a "complete" adventure weekend!

Can't wait to bring the kids and extended family next time!

Hi all, we just got back from a wonderful vacation and just wanted to thank you!!! Everything was just great, from the cabin to the all the people we met, Mainers or not, the beautiful lake, and the mountain. A vacation we will remember. Thank you again from Carla Jon Greg Francesca and Gabriel.

We had a great weekend. The pros: beautiful lodging (con: there is so much to do outside that we didn't spend enough time in the house); fantastic meals at the restaurant (con: ate too much - okay, WAY too much); helpful, friendly people (no down side here); wonderful location (con: still sore from climbing Sentinel Mountain - but it was well worth it). How lucky you are to live in such a beautiful place!

We hope to come back in the spring with the whole family.
So, thanks!

Had a great time! The small cabin was actually much roomier than I imagined it was going to be and we all enjoyed the canoes and kayaks. Beautiful surroundings, wish the weather had cooperated. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Twin Pines was fantastic. I will definitely recommend Twin Pines to friends and family. We live in Maryland and would love to visit again. Twin Pines during the week is the place to go. So beautiful. I enjoyed the moose tour as well. Nick was a fantastic host.
