Beautiful place.
Everything was just as advertised. Only thing that wasn’t like the pics was the fire pit. Pics showed beautiful fire pit with concrete seating benches and nice paver patio. It actually had old wooden seating and over grown patio area. But don’t let that keep u from renting because everything else was beautiful.

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!

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 .

Perfect, absolutely perfect!
We had an incredible stay for the International Seaplane Fly In...super convenient to town, but also peaceful for kayaking and relaxing dockside with the loons and ducks! The house is perfectly appointed, with 4 kayaks, a canoe, bikes...so much fun to be had! We had a special note with champagne for our arrival, and the living spaces were gorgeous. Can't say enough about Moosehead Hideaway!

Perfection!
The house was clean and inviting, and Scott was so kind as to leave a bottle of champagne and flowers to welcome us! My whole family really enjoyed using the canoe and kayaks. The views from this property are stunning. We loved watching all the seaplanes take off & land, listening to the loons in the early morning, and even had the privilege of watching a bald eagle fly by right in front of the dock one evening. We had a truly enjoyable time vacationing here, despite the inconsistent weather. Would definitely stay at this property again!

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.

Wonderful Piece of Heaven
Where do I start? Entering the house was easy with the code provided by host. Very clean and organized interior and the bedrooms were great! The kids room had games and great twin beds with lake house sheets and comforters. Our daughter and son in law stayed in the bedroom opposite the kids- both had fans and looked very comfortable. They also had their own bathroom. The first floor bedrooms were part of the downstairs with the kitchen and living room included. Living room had TV with Netflix which came in handy as the weather was ok but not great- weather is a crap shoot when planning a vacation months in advance. The upstairs bedroom (suite) area was huge with its own bathroom and large living space. The view to the lake was wonderful- not only from this bedroom but from the entire front of the house. There were kayaks and a canoe and plenty of blow up tubes that the kids loved. Bring a air pump- we found a bike pump in the basement but a electric pump works faster. The dock was a great place to relax and watch the kids. The lake was just beautiful- hardly any motor boat activity and we loved watching the sea planes land and take off. Also loved watching a mother duck and her ducklings cruise by daily. Oh and the loons- we had one pop up right in front of us one day. Great vacation!

Wonderful Vacation
We had a wonderful vacation in one of my favorite spots in Maine. The location of this home is perfect. Close to town with wonderful views. The house was well stocked with supplies and Scott was very easy to communicate with. He had many wonderful suggestions on places to visit. The kayaks were a great bonus as well! My only complaint was with the neighbors. They were very noisy especially in the evenings and their dogs had a habit of wandering into the yard.

Returned after 10 years!
We returned after 10 years and it was exactly how we remembered. We came back to rest, relax and rejuvenate. It was nice to wake up and look out at the lake. We went kayaking a number of times as weather permitting. We watched sea planes take off and land in front of us. We enjoyed the dock with lounge chairs. We enjoyed the ducks and loons as well as the sunsets. Whenever we needed to talk with the owner, Scott was reachable and accommodating. The house was equipped with our needs. We stayed two weeks this time. We enjoyed the local people while we dined out, or visited the local shops and grocery store. We almost felt included as one of the locals. Thank you Scott! We enjoyed our stay!

Scenic and peaceful
The house is lovely and spacious for this family of 6. The view from the houses and dock was spectacular! We enjoyed a week of peaceful relaxation with plenty of time on the lake with the kayaks that were provided. A definite plus! We were just a short car ride from the village ( or a long early morning walk which my husband enjoyed ) with it's unique shops and a variety of restaurants. The owners were just a text away with a quick response to our questions. I definitely recommend their lovely lake house!
