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.

The location and property design are great. The hosts have everything that we needed for our visit. The lake view is fantastic and we saw northern lights 2 out of 3 nights. Home had a charcoal grill and fire pit we used several times. We didn’t get to use the kayaks so that’ll have to be next time. A few minute drive to the center of town with several good restaurants. Definitely would rent this place again.
