About this property

Classic Maine Wilderness Lodge on Beautiful Shagg Pond

Camp Mollocket is a 90 year old classic Maine lodge situated on secluded Shagg Pond. While you are truly in the middle of the Maine forest, you will enjoy all modern amenities. The rustic “Grand Old Lady” charm has been maintained while the kitchen and baths were completely renovated and modernized in the fall of 2010. Sitting on 2 and ½ acres of land with 450 feet of private lake frontage on Shagg Pond and surrounded by forests and mountains, one can find at Camp Mollocket unparalleled peace and rest.
Camp Mollocket has two private docks and a small private beach or shallow wading area, depending on how high the water in the pond is! Shagg Pond provides excellent opportunities for water activities including swimming, boating and outstanding fishing. Relax on the wraparound screened porch, cuddle up in front of the massive stone fireplace, or walk out the back door for some of the finest hiking and walking trails in Maine – there is something for everyone. Camp Mollocket is large enough for a family reunion, or cozy enough for a romantic getaway.

Camp Mollocket, set in the midst of the Maine forests on a beautiful mountain lake is truly a place to get away from it all. Here you can relax amidst the beauty of the Western Maine Mountains. This is a place where no one will bother you, and you can truly forget about the issues and challenges of our urbanized world. Solitude and peace are the watchword for this location. Enjoy the available canoe, sail boat and paddle boat.

Camp Mollocket is still very accessible. It is only a 3 hour drive from the Boston area. Because it is off the normal summer vacation routes, detailed driving instructions will be needed to find the camp. These, of course, will be provided when you reserve your vacation time. Camp Mollocket is a large Maine lodge, but your stay at this Grand Old Lady can be tailored to meet your needs, from a getaway for two to a relatively large family reunion.

Despite the wonderful solitude you will experience at Camp Mollocket, you will still be within a reasonable driving distance of many attractions from golf to sight-seeing to antiquing to hiking and more.

SEARCH ON GOOGLE EARTH FOR "SHAGG POND, WOODSTOCK, MAINE". CAMP MOLLOCKET IS DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THE TREES BUT IT IS ON THE SOUTH EAST SIDE OF THE POND. ALSO , MAPQUEST WILL SHOW AN ACCURATE LOCATION USING THE ABOVE ADDRESS. WE, ALSO, WILL SEND YOU DETAILED DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ARRIVAL

Perfect for large groups
Camp Mollockett did not disappoint! So much space to spread out, very private, great swimming, hiking trail right down the road, comfortable beds and everything you need. For a group of friends who always tent camp together, this place was the perfect upgrade. Thank you so much Bruce and Ann, we will be back next summer!

Charming and rustic
Perfect, week long, rustic retreat gave my family of 11 a chance to explore nature, swim, canoe, fish, hike, play games, read, catch frogs, gather around the campfire for smores, and just enjoy each other. The wraparound screened porch gave a feeling of being in the treetops.

Rustic Getaway!
This is our second year staying at Camp Mollocket. There were 12 of us again, ranging from age 5 to nearly 50. There is so much to do at the house and in the surrounding areas. We fished, hiked, mountain biked, swam, and spent a lot of time on the spacious porch. This place is for folks looking to disconnect while experiencing an authentic Maine camp. We’ll be back next year!

Woodsy and comfortable
We enjoyed this camp with our grown children and young grandchildren. There was plenty of room in the house for all of us, and we spent a lot of time on the large screen porch. The sandy area at the water's edge is small, and there are lots of lily pads and the occasional leach. The little boys loved watching the huge bullfrogs, pollywogs and fish. We took the canoe out several times--once, we watched a moose that had walked out into the water, and a few times, the loons swam very close to us as they fished. So fun! We also hiked the Little Concord Pond trail which was right nearby. The camp and its contents tell the story of its owners--a family who has many happy memories over generations there: hand done artwork, the wood paneling, maps, tons of books, and photos. The hosts were great at communicating with us. This camp is near ATV trails, and although there were plenty of ATVs around, the riders were all very respectful of us and our dogs when we were out walking on the road and trails.

Beautiful Maine Lake Vacation
Our extended family of 12 had a wonderful stay. The traditional camp was very comfortable and had plenty of room. The hosts were accommodating and provided clear information and instruction. Boats, life jackets, chairs and other amenities were much appreciated. The water access is down a steep hill, but my 84 year old mother was able to manage it. The dog loved the water and spent time wading around watching the numerous tadpoles. Loved hearing the frogs and loons. The porch was a perfect gathering spot, and we appreciated it when it rained. Thank you!

Family getaway
We stayed at the camp for a week with a group of 11 adults. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and plenty of space for everyone to gather together. Whether it was sitting around the dining table eating, playing games or relaxing by the fire place, the cabin is very accommodating. While the weather didn’t cooperate for swimming or boating the pond and surrounding areas were peaceful and relaxing. The waterfall provided a good show after the heavy rains. This cabin definitely falls into the category of all you need to bring is the clothes on your back and food for your belly Thanks for the opportunity to spend time at camp Mollocket

A true Maine camp!
My family and I loved our stay at Camp Mollocket! The camp is great for kids and adults, with lots of beds and space to play, cook and rest. The days were spent on the pond (so clean and refreshing), or hiking close by. Every evening ended with dinner on the screened in porch, s’mores around the fire pit and then falling asleep listening to the loon calls. One day around dusk we watched a moose eat and bathe on the northwest shore of the pond. The listing is very accurate and representative, the owners very responsive. We loved the rustic Maine camp feel while having modern amenities (dishwasher, hot showers, etc). Would recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking for a quiet and fun time away. Loved our stay and will not forget it!

Family vacation.
I do not want to go into details other than to say the owners were very open and easy to communicate with when an issue came up . The house is filled with what must be memories of many generations of family spending time together, from measuring the growth of children through the ages on the door frame , books collected over the years and hand made lap quilts and pillows of all sizes. It has a warm and cozy vibe. If you are looking for a spotless, sterile environment, then this is not for you. But if you are looking for a place to gather with family and your focus is on being together, playing with the kids in the shallow water down at the lake, then I would say, this is perfect.

Peaceful retreat for family and friends
Our family stayed here for 4 nights with a group of friends and our kids (ages ranged 1-4). We appreciated having plenty of space to spread out, both in terms of the number of bedrooms, first floor living room space, and spacious screened in porch. I would definitely describe this space as quite rustic and a bit rundown, but it did the job. We had great weather for our stay so we spent as much time as possible out on the water. Most likely due to all the rain, there was no sandy beach as shown in the photos, but there was a dock to hangout on, which was still nice. We also appreciated having access to the canoe. As a heads up for folks with small kids: we discovered the shallow area near the dock was teeming with leeches, making it unsafe to have kids wading around. As a workaround, we ended up paddling everyone out to the center of the pond and putting down an anchor to do our swimming instead. The only other heads up I can offer is that Vrbo lists the checkout time as 11am, but checkout is actually 10am.

Week in the woods
Camp Mollocket is a historic property, originally built as a girls camp. The reminders of its long history are everywhere, which we loved. If you’re looking for a shiny modern house, this is not for you. But if you want a true Maine retreat it’s perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed, the fireplace was awesome on a chilly morning. The big central room had plenty of space for kids to play while adults read, talked and played games on the enormous porch. The porch feels like a treehouse, especially when a breeze rustles the treetops. We all enjoyed messing around in boats down by the dock. The paddle boat was especially nice for the kids. The dock is a two minute scramble down the hill from the house and we found we could call down to it easily from the porch. We saw chipmunks, a variety of toads and a shy snake. The kids marveled at bullfrog tadpoles as big as mice! The dogs had plenty of room to roam but stayed close to the house. It’s a bit of a hike off the main road, but not bad once you figure it out. Our teens sorely missed cellphone service and internet, but the rest of us enjoyed the respite. It’s very likely we’ll be back next year!

Sorta meh
I hate to leave a negative review but for $500+ per night, it was just ok. The house is cute. It’s very old w lots of antique throwback type items that give you a feeling of stepping back in time 60 years. The pond was disappointing. Depth off dock was maybe 2-3 ft and rocky so it’s tough to swim off dock. Certainly no jumping off dock. Lots of weeds/Lilly pads growing right off where you’d swim which was not appealing. Was looking forward to fishing but it seems like it’s just a ton of tiny sunfish and perch. No bass. Apparently there are trout and catfish. The wrap around porch was actually pretty awesome even though you can scarcely see the water through the trees. There was a broken window w glass all over the ground in front of the house which my son was walking around w bare feet. Thank god no cuts. As we were packing up the housekeeper arrived an hour early and literally just walked into the house and started cleaning as we were frantically packing. It was very weird. Weirder still she proceeded to harangue us about not putting the towels in the same laundry bag as the sheets (which we actually didn’t do). It just wasn’t what we envisioned. Too pricey for what it was in my opinion.

Scenic, private, and delightfully rustic
We rented Camp Mollocket for the week with a group of 12 and 2 dogs. The house is a throwback to the Maine camps of the 60s and 70s, and the decor, books, and even some of the furniture transported us back to a simpler time-one thankfully without Internet. There is even a rotary phone! The many bedrooms gave the teens and parents privacy, and the “family room” accommodated the younger kids who wanted to sleep together. The house has plenty of room for folks to spread out, the porch being the ideal hangout spot. While it doesn’t have a wide open vista overlooking the pond, you can catch the glittering waters through the trees and hear the loons calling to each other. Pure magic. The pond is small but very clean and teeming with life—we spotted frogs upon frogs, fish, the aforementioned loons, tons of dragonflies, and thankfully, hardly a mosquito or deer fly. There are two bathrooms, one of which is tucked off the side of the porch and took us a few minutes to find, and the showers run hot. The kitchen, while small, fit all our food for the week. There are two small Charcoal grills—a gas grill would be an amazing upgrade but the charcoal fit with the rustic vibe. Shagg Pond is right next to some great hiking trails, including ones in the gem Little Concord State Park, and our party had a blast hiking, mountain biking, and exploring the area. I would absolutely recommend this place for those looking for a real “camp” experience, and for those who want to really, truly unplug. No internet and spotty cell phone service gave all of us a much needed break from social media, our work emails, and the news. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Our family of 11 and 4 dogs stayed at this wonderful property. We loved everything about it with the exception of how steep it was to get to the lake, as my parents are older and struggled with the hills. We loved the remoteness of the property.
