About this property

Rustic camp on the shores of Upper Wilson Pond

Nestled in the Maine Highlands between Moosehead Lake and the Hundred-Mile Wilderness, Upper Wilson Pond is known for its seclusion, abundant wildlife, and calm waters. Situated steps from the southwest shore, Loon Lodge of Upper Wilson Pond is an inviting, off-the-grid, rustic retreat where the call of loons and lapping water can be heard both day and night. The camp is available to rent from the middle of May, shortly after the ice goes out, to mid-September, when fall is settling in.

From Scammon Road on the ridge, the long gravel driveway winds down to the camp below. The driveway to the camp is shared by the owners who have an additional parking area and a separate boat dock on the property.

Loon Lodge features an open-concept kitchen/living room, an indoor bathroom, and three bedrooms as well as a sleeping cabin, making it ideal for everything from hosting a large party to escaping for a personal retreat. Gravity-fed running water and gas-powered refrigerator, stove, lights, and water heater contribute to the rustic comfort of the Maine camp experience and more than compensate for the lack of electricity. Steps from the door, guests will find a dock for boating, fishing, and swimming.

Loon Lodge's close proximity to Greenville makes it an ideal base to explore the town and the larger Moosehead Lake region.

A fun labor day weekend
Cabin is rustic but comfy. Solar lights work great, and the gas lights are good for after dinner ambiance. Lots of room with lots of bedding choices in a perfect picturesque place. Would be nice if there were more trout and less perch. Lake was fun to paddle on but for us swimming was limited due to wind and air temp.

As Remembered
A rustic cabin with few other camps in the neighborhood. Quiet, loon calls, Bald Eagle swooping for fish, the photo books with pictures of those whom we met years ago at this and the other camp - all priceless. We rented a boat, enjoyed fishing as well as walking on wooded trails. The driveway was a challenge for a filled van, but we made it. Clean and comfortable. This time I will never forget the sight of a rainbow across Elephant Mountain.

Private and peaceful
We were looking for a private cabin with nice swimming / fishing access and this was perfect. Very simple, clean and remote. Plenty of space for large family. Nice pier for swimming and fishing. Great view of the sky for watching the metor shower and northern lights. We would recommend!

Wonderful cabin on Upper Wilson Pond
Great location and a wonderful cabin. Cabin was as described and owners were easy to work with. When we had a few questions they stopped over immediately to help us out. The cabin was clean and spacious for family of 5 (3 teens). Although there was no electricity, the solar lamps lasted long enough for us into the evening. The location is perfect. Highly recommend getting some kayaks or canoes to explore the pond (We rented some from Wild Ones Boat Rentals and they delivered directly to the cabin) A hike up Rum Mountain off Lower Wilson pond is only accessible by kayak/canoe. Paddled to the north end of Upper Wilson Pond and saw moose at the water's edge. Great location to relax by the water.

Wonderful rustic camp on Wilson Pond
Close enough to Greenville to have access to the fun activities like katahdin ship, hiking trials, shopping, the grocery store, supplies, seaplanes if you want them, etc. It is a wonderful peaceful spot with good fishing and lake swimming. New solar battery means the lights at night are reliable but the warm gas lamp glow is still available. We love this place.

Great place to paddle and chill
Loved this spot for our family get-together over the Fourth of July; the paddling on Upper Wilson is amazing - we made it to the top of the lake and saw lots of loons and a grazing moose. The huge picture window means that even if it's raining you've got a gorgeous view of Elephant Mountain. Really comfy beds!! Not far from Greenville but you feel as though you're far away from it all.

A magical place
The second you walk onto this property, you’ll be transported to your fondest memories of summer camp and carefree fun. The view from the cabin and private dock seems as if it is solely for you and the loons calling under a star-filled sky. The cabin was tidy with lots of space for the 6 of us who stayed there. After sunset, gaslit lamps replace the solar ones and a well-equipped kitchen made it easy to stay put. Our cell reception was little to none, which personally I loved because my teenagers had zero distraction from the entertainment that family and nature have to offer. Definitely will stay here again!!

We had a great time. So relaxing. So beautiful. Everything we needed. Close enough to town for convenience but far enough away for privacy. Roomy enough for us to have privacy. Loved the big window and window seats. Thank you.

First time at Wilson Pond
We enjoyed our stay. Loved being off the grid and surrounded by such beauty. The fishing was great and the loons at night were awesome. You get the full greenville experience here. Still only 10 minutes from town. This place is a hidden gem.

Family vacation
The property was perfect for our family vacation. The lack of electricity or cell network was a big plus in our book. It was good to get our teens disconnected for a few days! It’s the perfect location if you want that remote lakeside cabin experience, while being a short drive from town or the many outdoor activities in the area. We hope to go back again next year!

Great place to get away from busyness
This little rustic cabin in the Maine woods is a great place to get away from cell phones, busyness, work, etc. bring your canoe or kayak, fishing pole, paddle board, puzzles, games, and a good book. Enjoy a campfire and a home cooked meal. Go out and lay on the dock at night and see countless stars while the loons call their beautiful far away calls on the lake. The hill down is steep and bring water or a filter. Lots of mountains to climb in the area. Take in an ice cream cone in town or take a drive looking for moose. Over all. Great!

Rustic, private, serenity
This camp offers the perfect off-grid getaway. The buildings are cozy, the property is private and Upper Wilson Pond is a treasure. At night you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves on the shore and the loons calling. From your bedroom you can watch the moon sparkle on the lake. During the day we relaxed on the dock and in the water. The facilities are rustic, as described, but still well equipped. The beds are comfortable. Highlights: swimming off the dock, coming face to face with a mink along the shore, watching the moon rise across the pond, watching the loon family cruise across the lake during the day and hearing loons, coyotes and owls serenade at night.
