Beautiful Lake House

This lake house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The house itself was very clean and provided many activities for adults and kids. The location was close to town and loves seeing all the sea planes! Would definitely recommend.

The property is "OUTSTANDING" IN EVERY WAY. 1 thing I would recommend, exchange your TV provider to "Spectrum". When the owner and I spent over 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get the TV to work, it worked ok for 3 hours until we turned it off to go to bed. When we tried to use it the next evening, we could not figure it out, nor could we the next day. It wouldn't have been a problem at all if we had great weather, but we didn't so it was a problem. If we ever want to do another trip, we'll call this owner first for sure!

Well appointed home

House has everything you will need for a great trip. Lovely home, nice location. Would love to see some comfy Adirondack chairs to look out at the water next time. Deer came through the yard daily. Kids loved catching crawfish and a 3 lb bass right from the dock!

Relaxation at the lake

The week at Moosehead lake was very relaxing and the house lake was very comfortable. The house was close in location to town and we enjoyed the opportunity of walking into town. (Approximately 2 miles) We rented a boat from wild ones rentals and enjoyed the beautiful lake for a few days. The area is great for hiking and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Dinner at Birches Resort in Rockwood, was wonderful!

Moosehead Hideaway is a great place

Stunning views with such an open front - anytime of day/night looks great - location is ~1 mile from shops and town activities. Canoes/kayaks and bikes were a big plus. Mooring was added benefit for our 20' boat - endless sites to explore including Kineo hiking (wow what a view), Moose sightings at the DOT. fishing etc etc. Very laid back community and great food at Stress Free Moose. Kids loved it. Scott (owner) was great as well.

Great getaway

Perfect location. A mile from everything you would need. Home has all brand new appliances and plenty of kitchen essentials. Dock on the lake after using the fire pit is great for star gazing . Great views from interior of house as well as the deck . Do yourself a favor and take a ride on a float plane. Curriers literally at the end of the street. Owners responded to any inquiries we had with in 5 minutes .

Great view, but different than we envisioned

The overall stay was fine. The view was great! However, we were not expecting all the noise from the water planes taking off and landing nearby or the no-see-um bugs. They were out in force keeping us from enjoying the patio furniture. We also didn't realize the beds were not both queen-sized, but one full and the other a queen upstairs. Because I am a light sleeper I gave our parents the open loft thinking it would be quieter in the bedroom, but soon thereafter, realized my husband and I had a full-sized bed that was not comfortable for two adults, so I ended up sleeping in the third bedroom in the twin bed all week. We also didn't realize, which is also on us, that there was no air conditioning, and with all of us being 55+ we were hot. Nights we nicer with all the windows open and the breeze. There were also not enough towels, we had four people with only four towels for the week (between both bathrooms). So plan on doing laundry or bring your own extra. So all in all it was good, just not for us.

Pleasant stay in beautiful lake cabin!

Very lovely cabin! Great place to stay and definitely would come back. The deck and dock are great places to hang out and take in the view and sunsets. Beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room to spread out for our group of 3, and it could have easily slept 5-6 people. Kitchen appliances, laundry and wifi all worked well. Kitchen has pretty much all of the essentials dishes and utensil wise. Not that we used them much, but we appreciated the TVs being setup and streaming services available, that's a rare thing compared to other VRBO's we've rented. Couple very minor things we wished we knew ahead of time. The grill is charcoal, I think we assumed it would be gas. Bring your own shampoo and soap for the bathroom as the only provided was hand and dish soap. If you're planning on keeping a boat on the lake, there is a mooring in a deep spot, but there is a series of rocks just below the surface blocking access to the dock and the water at the dock is only about 12-18 inches deep. It's enough to launch a canoe or kayak (which they have downstairs), but not suited for a bigger boat. There was a miscommunication with property management and the place was not clean upon our arrival, but the host and property manager got it sorted out in a few hours and gave a discount for our trouble. Also, as described, there is no AC, but even on a couple warmer days it was a little warm but still pretty comfy with the ceiling fans.

Beautiful view and close to civilization

Beautiful home right on Moosehead Lake with stunning views. Plenty of space to entertain with a lovely kitchen with up to date appliances and also a washer and dryer. Included kayaks for recreation! The bathrooms were very clean. Overall a wonderful stay and a wonderful home. It was beautiful to start and end the day with a sunrise and sunset from the loft bedroom. It was the perfect piece of paradise without being too isolated as we had neighbors next door. We also were less than 5 minutes from the small downtown restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops. My spouse and I greatly enjoyed making our coffee and enjoying the balcony and dock. while we didn’t actively use the dock we did hang out on the chairs there to watch the loons and other birds.A few things to note preference wise if you book- if you have a messed up back such as myself I reccomend sleeping in the downstairs bedroom. The loft mattress was a bit too soft for my back and exacerbated my lower back issues.- If you’re a light sleeper like me, depending on the time of year you may want to sleep in the downstairs rooms only because the loft bedroom has no doors and the windows facing the beautiful lake have no blinds. Important because during June the sun was rising at 4 in the morning and if you’re a southerner like myself you will forget that the sun rises earlier in the day and sets later because of the geographic location of Northern Maine. This isn’t specific to this home it’s more so to the area in general.

Run down and loud

Place is in a state of serious disrepair. Dock has been badly damaged for two years (as per owner) and still not fixed, yet not disclosed. If my children were younger it would have been a major safety issue. Safety bar in shower never secured. It detached (slid out of wall) when my wife (bad knee) put her weight on it and fell. This could have ended our vacation. Owner also aware of this issue and offered to fix it next week, AFTER our stay. Lastly, while not the fault if the owner, the next door neighbors are animals and leave their dog outside to howl throughout the night, every single night. Do not recommend. No AC, so the choice was to cook with the windows closed or listen to a very distressed dog.at 3am.

Lake view retreat

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home with amazing views of the lake. The location was close to shops, restaurants, and activities. It was nice hanging around the campfire at night or for my boys to fish at anytime they felt like it. Plenty of kayaks for the whole family to enjoy and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals at home. We hope to come back again someday!!!
