Run down and loud

Place is in a state of serious disrepair. Dock has been badly damaged for two years (as per owner) and still not fixed, yet not disclosed. If my children were younger it would have been a major safety issue. Safety bar in shower never secured. It detached (slid out of wall) when my wife (bad knee) put her weight on it and fell. This could have ended our vacation. Owner also aware of this issue and offered to fix it next week, AFTER our stay. Lastly, while not the fault if the owner, the next door neighbors are animals and leave their dog outside to howl throughout the night, every single night. Do not recommend. No AC, so the choice was to cook with the windows closed or listen to a very distressed dog.at 3am.

Lake view retreat

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home with amazing views of the lake. The location was close to shops, restaurants, and activities. It was nice hanging around the campfire at night or for my boys to fish at anytime they felt like it. Plenty of kayaks for the whole family to enjoy and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals at home. We hope to come back again someday!!!

Awesome lake views

We loved the lake cabin with awesome views of the lake. The cabin was tastefully decorated and fully stocked from the kitchen, bathrooms, and basement including canoes, kayaks, and bikes. Only drawback was the neighbors and their dog, and an Unexpected backed-up sewer/plumbing issue. Location was great and would highly recommend!

Pleasant stay in beautiful lake cabin!

Very lovely cabin! Great place to stay and definitely would come back. The deck and dock are great places to hang out and take in the view and sunsets. Beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room to spread out for our group of 3, and it could have easily slept 5-6 people. Kitchen appliances, laundry and wifi all worked well. Kitchen has pretty much all of the essentials dishes and utensil wise. Not that we used them much, but we appreciated the TVs being setup and streaming services available, that's a rare thing compared to other VRBO's we've rented. Couple very minor things we wished we knew ahead of time. The grill is charcoal, I think we assumed it would be gas. Bring your own shampoo and soap for the bathroom as the only provided was hand and dish soap. If you're planning on keeping a boat on the lake, there is a mooring in a deep spot, but there is a series of rocks just below the surface blocking access to the dock and the water at the dock is only about 12-18 inches deep. It's enough to launch a canoe or kayak (which they have downstairs), but not suited for a bigger boat. There was a miscommunication with property management and the place was not clean upon our arrival, but the host and property manager got it sorted out in a few hours and gave a discount for our trouble. Also, as described, there is no AC, but even on a couple warmer days it was a little warm but still pretty comfy with the ceiling fans.

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!

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 .

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!

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!
