About this property

Lakefront lodge on Pemaquid Pond with dock, kayaks, canoe, SUP & firepits

A true Midcoast Maine retreat with decades of family history, this lakefront log cabin is a place to find peace in nature on the shores of Pemaquid Pond. With 1,260 feet of shore frontage, you'll spend your days listening to the call of the loons and fishing, swimming, and boating from your private dock.

This private, family-owned cabin is located on 37 acres on the tranquil eastern shore of Pemaquid Pond. A ramp leads you out to the 16-foot-by-20-foot dock, seasonally available from May to October (with space to moor a 24-foot pontoon in 6-8 feet of water). A number of watercraft and lake essentials are even provided for you, including two kayaks, a Gheenoe wide canoe, a 12-foot aluminum boat with oars, a stand-up paddleboard, and fishing poles.

When you're not out exploring Pemaquid Point (17 miles), visiting the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (22 miles), or taking a whale-watch excursion from Boothbay Harbor (22 miles), a wealth of fun and games awaits you at the house. Play horseshoes and cornhole, barbecue and dine on the expansive back deck overlooking the lake, and roast marshmallows around the wood firepit.

Inside, you'll find all the classic elements of cabin living, including log walls, lofty ceilings, and large windows that frame spectacular nightly sunsets. Enjoy an assortment of board games and books, multiple smart TVs that you can sign into using your own streaming accounts, and such family-friendly touches as a high chair, baby gate, and Pack-N-Play. Other conveniences include an automatic backup generator, window air conditioning, and complimentary WiFi.

Lovely cabin in a great quiet setting!

The cabin is clean, comfortable, and in a great setting! We love sitting on the deck or porch in the mornings with our coffee. We've been back too many times to count!

Peaceful and majestic

We had a great experience! My kids loved the lake, paddleboarding, and atv riding. Coming back to such a relaxing and beautiful home on the lake after a day of activities was awesome:) We bqq'd, had bonfires, and played cards. Lovely and peaceful place, would definitely return.

a gem in the wild

The home was the perfect base for exploring this beautiful area. We loved the dock, the crystal clear water, the loons, and the stars at night. It is remote so if you want a place close to town this is not for you, but we loved it!

Serenity at its finest.

This house had well maintained and easy access to Wilson Pond. We very much enjoyed the quiet and listening to the loons. Loved the view of the pond from the house. Kitchen amenities were more than sufficient, and we were close enough to town if we needed something but far enough away to feel that we were way out in the wilderness. We can't wait to stay here again! Best house we've stayed in in Moosehead Lake region yet .

Fun Week

This is the second time we rented this house and loved it both times. You are 12 minutes from town, about 30 to really good hikes. Fishing is great everywhere. Love the lake access. House is designed great if you have dogs- metal screen over siding door screens and rubber grips on stairs. The staff was ver accommodating and quick to respond when i left an item in the house after chevkout. They helped me get my item quickly before new renters came. Highly recommend.

Peaceful Getaway

We spent a very relaxing 5 days and 4 nights at the cabin with family. Communication related to our stay was great and the check in process was smooth. The camp itself had all the necessary amenities. The dock was perfect for our boat and the fishing was fun for the kids even though it was slow. We enjoyed time by the fire pit toasting s’mores and swimming in the pristine pond. Lot’s of memories made and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back to do it again.

Quiet get away

Place was clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Beautiful views and very quiet. It isn’t the best for swimming because of the rocks-but the water was very clear and we went in anyway. I do wish we had a canoe or kayak, but we all really enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to anyone. My teenage daughters didn’t want to leave!

The home is cozy and spacious. Fishing from the dock with our kids was so fun! It was our first Vacasa rental, and first vacation staying with extended family. Inspired us to make more efforts like this. We would definitely return to The Owl’s Nest. Thank you!

Wonderful

On top of the great location, the place was very well kept and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay from a few simple spices in the cabinet to fire wood in the yard. Wonderful place, if you're not used to maine, try not to let the roads discourage you. Feel free to ask Vacasa or the caretaker for help navigating since gps doesn't show all the roads in the region. Once you arive though you may not want leave even to go home!

Beautiful location

The house was nice and in a beautiful spot on Lower Wilson Pond, the dock was nice but if you’re looking for a swimming area the entrance to the water from here was very rocky, (perfectly manageable for our kids who did plenty of swimming 😊) The house itself offered plenty of space and lots of sleeping accommodations but the downstairs ceilings aren’t completely finished and the downstairs bathroom had some pipes/hoses (I believe carrying water to the upstairs bathroom) that were exposed and occasionally leaked which would make the floor a little wet but it was certainly manageable

Amazing

We were all pleasantly surprised by the house and the location. The house was so amazing from the location to the water access so perfect. We were thrilled that the house was hidden from the rest of the world, although we had neighbors you would never know it. There was no better place to have your morning coffee than the deck or the dock just perfect. We went to dinner a few times and was thrilled all three times. We went to The Dockside, which is a must. The manager Billy was an amazing person who set out to make sure our meals and drinks were perfect and that he did 100%. We went to Kelly's Landing which was a great place just for the views. We also went to the Stress Free Moose which was great and the staff was amazing. Our trip was more than perfect we had the best time, hope to return next year.
