Pull up into the wrap-around driveway and you'll know you've made it to the river! This home's decor is all about celebrating the natural beauty around the home, with bear and moose touches in almost every room. With ample parking and a private dock, you can bring your toys (boats, ATVs, and snowmobiles), park your trailer(s), and play! One of the bedrooms includes a workspace, in case someone has some remote work or schooling to finish up before heading out to the lake. Head out to the 12’ X 20’ deck and cook up any salmon or brook trout you catch at the lake on the private gas grill. The fully equipped kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances including a double oven, five-burner stovetop, microwave, slow cooker, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher, and a large refrigerator for preparing food before you sink in front of the gas fireplace. Not to mention, the home has a backup generator so you always have electricity and heat. In warmer weather, the whole group can relax out on the deck with food and refreshments. This homey haven is waiting to serve as your base for outdoor adventures - come in and relax awhile.

This Maine Vacation Home is located on Moose River in Rockwood, Maine, and comes with the use of a private dock at the location. You will be a half-mile from Moosehead Lake via the river and under two miles by car. Whether you have come to hike, golf, boat, fish, hunt, ski, ATV, or snowmobile, it’s all outside the door with direct access to ITS-66 from the backyard. Guests can partake in swimming, boating, ice fishing, and even a moose safari! Hiking Maine mountains on the Appalachian Trail, fly-fishing at East Outlet, and swimming in Moosehead Lake and Upper and Lower Wilson Pond are all great options as well. Winter at Moosehead Lake abounds with opportunities for ice fishing, downhill skiing at Big Squaw Mountain (16 miles from the home), and even snowmobiling - come during early spring and you'll be able to watch the Wilderness Sled Dog Race!

Great house on Moose River

Had a group of 7 guys stay for a week of fishing on Moosehead Lake. Beautiful, clean, well provisioned modern house. This is a serious step up from the fishing camps we usually stay at. And when we realized the gas grill didn’t have a tank, they had one delivered within a couple hours. Incredible service!!

Deer Camp 2024

We stayed for 8 days, the house is comfortable and we enjoyed the stay. 3 Suggestions - Dishwasher did not work, did not have power. More towels for drying dishes would be helpful. Bed in downstairs bedroom is pretty worn out, would be good to consider replacing. Other than that it is warm, well lit and clean.

Mattresses are unacceptable

As all previous reviews stated, the mattresses need replacing and these reviews have been posted FOR YEARS. The owners obviously don’t plan to replace them. The home is beautiful and well decorated with essentials. But the road noice is disruptive and the WiFi is spotty.

Searching for Bullwinkle

The property had ceiling fans in lieu of central air. Kitchen and house was open. Had deer wander into the back yard at night. Crowd and a family of ducks also paid us a visit. We caught a couple of trout from the dock. Wish we had more than 1 day to explore, but we did wake up at 4:00 AM to travel to the bogs on the other side of the lake near Kokadjo to see a moose. We met Nullwinkle there

Moose River

Very nice home. No problems except after freezing rain when driveway was a skating rink and treacherous to get to our car. 1/2 cup salt (there was a measuring cup in the salt bag) which did very little. Called for someone to come salt and sand, spoke with someone who said they had had many calls and hoped someone would come. No one came. Very dangerous situation for us, we are in our 70’s. Didn’t want a broken hip. Fortunately temperature rose enough to melt enough of the ice so we could get to our car. I have pictures of glare ice across the entire driveway. Otherwise no complaints.

Spacious, clean, close to Kineo. Large bedrooms and very nice large bathrooms. Dangerous set of lower stairs that one of our guests had a lot of problems with. Overall a clean place to stay with easy access to Rockwood, Greenville etc.

Immaculately clean and very nice; grill needs to be maintained better

Very clean; outdoor deck was lovely and peaceful overlooking the backyard and forest; loved the new decor; bathrooms were great; bedrooms were great. We were disappointed not to be able to use the grill because it was a fire hazard; it did not have a grease pan, and all the debris and grease from previous cookouts were on the bottom of the grill.

Birthday Celebration Weekend

The property was just the right size for six adults with plenty of space for relaxing both inside and out. It was also ideally situated allowing us to see as much as possible on the east and west sides of the Moosehead Lake area during our two day visit. We will definitely be back!

Moosehead

Lovely rental, newly renovated. Leak in 2 bedrooms but managed with bowls to collect drips and towels. Difficulty with internet TV not being optional. Would prefer cable or dish. Great for snowmobiling as trail right out the back. Parking great. Great view of Moose River. Would definitely stay there again.
