About this property

A Little Camp with Big Views & Amazing Sunsets Right On Moosehead Lake

Little Moose Camp was built around 1930 as part of the Birch Point Sporting Camps just 1 mile from downtown Greenville. The cabin is steps from the water and almost every window has views of the lake. The screened porch and yard (fire pit!) offer up gorgeous views across the lake at Little Moose and Big Moose Mountains where you can sip wine to the sunset. You will even be able to watch the seaplanes take off and land. Although the sporting camp no longer exist, this cabin has been restored and provides a wonderful escape from the rest of the world and brings you back in time just a little bit to the North Woods.

The camp has an all new kitchen and bathroom and is decorated in the spirit of the Maine woods with many pieces from local artisans, repurposed items, and lovely textiles. The bird feeders bring a wonderful variety of birds including hummingbirds, cedar waxwings, goldfinches, and purple finches. You might also meet the resident chipmunks who are known to beg for food along with a troop of mallard ducklings who are absolutely shameless with their cheeping.

The cabin is a single room open concept camp with a queen firm bed, small sitting area that includes a comfy reclining couch, tv (bring your Netflix/Amazon login), dining table, mini-split for any hot August nights, gas fireplace for chilly days in September, screened porch with loveseat and table for two, plus an outside picnic table, Adirondack chairs, and firepit. Trees and flower gardens create a beautiful outdoor area to enjoy. There is a private dock (boats cannot be tied up here, but it's great for loading into canoes/kayaks, or jumping into the water). Additionally, Birch Point residents share a cove with a lovely swimming beach, dock, swim raft, and jetty. You can rent kayaks/canoes locally and put them in right here steps from the camp (you can even paddle back and forth to town). While this camp is not secluded in the woods, it is situated to provide privacy in the yard on the lake and on the porch. As an added bonus you can walk/ride bikes to the Dairy Bar for icecream after dinner cooked on the grill.

Little Moose is perfect for a single person or couple. Hikers, fishermen, birders, leaf-peepers, and paddlers will delight in the proximity to the trails and waterways of the area. Readers will never have to leave the camp - enjoy a great book surrounded by the lake and mountains. Anyone looking for a front row seat to the International Sea Plane Fly-In in September will be thrilled with this location. We typically due Saturday-Saturday rentals, but feel free to reach out if you need something different and we'll see if we can make it happen.

We loved the little cabin from the moment we stepped into it! It is so cute, and had everything that we could need to make our stay wonderful! We loved watching the boats and sea planes on the lake, and loved all the little wildlife that came to visit daily. It was so relaxing and so beautiful! Would definitely stay at this cabin again.

This cabin is so perfect for couples. It was exactly as advertised, very clean, and had e everything you could need for your stay except for your personal items & food. The lake view couldn't be better, and we really enjoyed sitting outside around the fire listening to the loons. Kerryanne is a spectacular host, and communication with her was awesome. Can't wait to go back to Little Moose!

Little Moose cabin is so cozy and comfortable! Situated right on Moosehead Lake, the views are beautiful in every direction and the sunsets are spectacular. We enjoyed watching the ducks and chippies during the day and listening to the calls of the loons at night. We swam off the private dock and kept cool on the hot days. Greenville shops and restaurants are close by, so we enjoyed sampling the local cuisine and ice cream. We had a wonderful week at Little Moose cabin!

Perfect Getaway

Little Moose cabin was the perfect getaway. The cabin had everything we needed to spend time in beautiful Maine. Drinking coffee on the screened porch each morning, watching the sunset on Moosehead Lake, and star gazing in the backyard were definitely highlights. We hiked several hikes we read about in a book of day hikes that was in the cabin. We were able to cook our own meals in the well stocked kitchen as well as try some of the local restaurants and ice cream shops. We highly recommend this cozy cabin on the lake.

Little Moose

What a beautiful spot on Moose Head Lake. The cabin had everything we needed for the week. Kitchen had what we need to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. We loved watching the sea planes take off and land right in front of the cabin. We spent the week hiking, canoeing and shopping in town. The owner of this property was just a text away. She was great.

The little Moose cabin was exactly as it was described online. It was small but did not feel that way, it is perfect for two people. It was comfy and cozy and it had everything you would need for your stay. Kelly Anne did a great job utilizing every inch of the space. Loved the location too, on the water with a nice dock and it was near the center of Town. We loved it and hope to be back. One of our favorite things were the little family of ducks, chipmunks and humming birds who visited with us daily. Unfortunately, there was a ban on fires with the drought, which was out of Kellyanne’s control but we enjoyed the stars just the same. Thanks for a great stay!

Relaxing

My husband and I had such a great time at this little cabin. The porch and the yard were both private and the view was wonderful. The cabin was very clean and the kitchen had a nice amount of cookware/bakeware. There were several games available; cards, chess, cribbage. Multiple pamphlets and booklets about the area were provided. We enjoyed toasting the sunset by the fire pit, playing games on the porch, perusing the shops downtown and hiking. All around it was a fantastic getaway!

Romantic peaceful weekend getaway!!

We had a lovely long weekend trip at this beautiful cabin. It has been updated perfectly and everything was so well thought out but the charm was preserved. It had everything we could need and more. The view was breathtaking with the lake just steps away. We loved watching the seaplanes take off and the sunset over the mountains every night by the fire pit. It was romantic and secluded but also close to the town, stores and restaurants, and many hiking spots. Honestly the pictures don’t do this property justice! It was absolutely perfect. We absolutely cannot wait to come back.

wonderfil place

Perfect for two close people, small but well organized. Had everything you need but slope to water is steep so for older adults it was not easy but that was our only issue!! Close to town, great seaplane watching, and a wonderful screened porch. We saw and heard loons, fed a few ducks and a resident chipmunk who is quite brave!!! Lovely sunsets and a nice firepit!!! Too cloudy for star gazing but I bet on a clear night it is good to watch for shooting stars!!

We agree on the slope to to the dock and we have a local geologist building a natural stone staircase this fall - we're so excited for the easier access. On a clear night the stars are amazing at Moosehead - it's. certified Dark Skies area, so truly breathtaking!

Serenaded by Loons…

We had a truly lovely stay in this cosy cottage. “Little Moose” is well equipped and the owner is very responsive. There was a temporary problem beyond her control about which she kept us well informed; worked hard to come up with a temporary solution; rectified as soon as possible. We still had a fabulous getaway. The loons were a definite highlight. The weather was on the chilly side, but that meant we did more hiking and kayaking than swimming. The new dock on the property was an unexpected and welcome bonus. We would be very happy to come for another stay here.

Paradise at Little Moose Cabin

We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation at Little Moose cabin, which felt like a cozy home away from home. We were delighted to be greeted by owner Kerryane, who ensured we had everything we needed. Kerryane also introduced us to the wild birds, squirrels, chipmunk, and friendly duck families that were a hoot to feed and observe. The screened porch and private yard with Adirondack chairs were great for views of Moosehead Lake, the mountains, and the gorgeous sunsets. The cry of the loons in the evening was truly peaceful. The town of Greenville had several good restaurants and yummy ice cream spots just minutes away. We also enjoyed a lake cruise on the historic Mt. Katahdin and a beautiful afternoon at Lily Bay State Park. We had a perfect and memorable week's stay at Little Moose cabin. Thank you!

Title of Rental is Spot On! Little camp with big views and amazing sunsets.

We wanted a cabin experience with amazing water front views and proximity to outdoor activities. This cabin surpassed those wants. First, Kerryane is an amazing host. She is very responsive and so nice. She checked on us regularly to make sure everything was ok and inquire if we needed anything. The cabin is - as described - living, kitchen, and BR in a single room with a private bath and an attached screened porch. It was perfect for my wife and I and makes a fantastic couples retreat. We cooked steaks on the grill and ate on the screened waterfront porch. We then used the fire pit and spent the evening enjoying the quiet and a billion stars. It was just perfect. If you are looking for a cool place in a cool town next to a cool lake and appreciate a camp from a simpler time - this is it.

Little Moose Cabin is a slice of heaven on earth! Situated right on the water, the view of the lake and mountains is ever present. The sunsets are gorgeous, followed by the peaceful cries of the loons at night. The cabin is cozy and well appointed with everything you need and the screened porch affords 24 hour access to the outdoors. There's always company with the chippies, ducks, and hummingbirds who immediately befriend you. The businesses and restaurants are a short drive away in downtown Greenville, which is a fun place to explore. There's lots to do in the area or you can just stay put and relax. Your host is always available to help you plan your stay. Five stars!

Cozy Lakeside Cabin

We had a very enjoyable stay at this cabin! It was comfortable, compact and was equipped with all the necessities. Host was very prompt in replying to any queries. Situated on the lakes edge - great for evening sunsets and morning moon sets! Offers peace and quiet yet 5 minutes drive to town. Definitely plan to return!

Spot on!

This cabin is absolutely perfect for two people. Cozy and all the comforts of home. Despite its close proximity to neighbors, we never heard or saw anyone. Sitting on the porch, which is directly facing and close to the lake, is very private. I cannot say enough about the friendly, consistent communication with the owner. We had a terrific stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kerryane Monahan

Host profile image
Kerryane is a biology professor and Robson manufactures trailers in Florida. Having spent summers in Maine as a child, Kerryane requires an annual summer dose of the North Woods. Robson can't decide between the woods and the water, so he opted for a lot of each. Both of us are avid outdoors people and love the hiking, boating, birding, paddling, and fishing opportunities at Moosehead.

Why they chose this property

We dreamed about owning a home on Moosehead Lake since we first came here together in 2004. We stumbled upon this dilapidated camp and decided we loved the view so much we would attempt to restore the cabin. In 16 days working 14 hours/day during the pandemic, we gutted it down to the frame and then built it back up again (new roof, new insulation, new electric, new plumbing, new walls, new ceiling, new kitchen, new bath, etc), we even jacked it up and put in new support piers. It was a labor of love that nearly broke us (actually, there were a few injuries) but we are so glad we did! We love spending summer here, breathing in the clean air, enjoying nature, and being so close to the water. And now we can share it with a few other lucky folks!

What makes this property unique

Little Moose is close to town but still has that on the lake in the woods feel. There's so much to do here, ATVing, fishing, hiking, paddling, boating, birding, swimming, etc. Or just read a good book while soaking in the views.
