Dog-friendly lakefront cabin with covered porch & firepit on the shore

Partridge Road Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Privacy and comfort are yours when you stay in this spacious cabin on Brassua Lake. Revel in views from your front porch or get warm and cozy with a fire on the shore. Your beloved dogs are also welcome.

This new post-and-beam cabin is nestled at the edge of Brassua Lake, the last on a dead-end dirt road. Your backyard gently slopes down to a sandy beach and the water, allowing you to swim, kayak, or canoe (one is available for guests) anytime you like. And you'll be only five miles from Rockwood proper for in-town conveniences.

The Maine cabin decor and stone fireplace create a welcoming open-design living area. Bask in the light filtering in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, or relax on the large, wrap-around deck and watch the sun set. You'll also have free WiFi and a private washer/dryer in addition to all the comforts of home.

Perfect Maine Family Vacation
This was our second time staying for a week at the cabin. The house was fully stocked and very clean. The backyard is a beautiful oasis whether you enjoy swimming, canoeing, or relaxing in the hammock. We are already looking forward to next summer!

Our family had a WONDERFUL time at the Partridge Road Retreat!
Plenty of room (and more to spare) with our family of five: 2 adults and 3 children (ages 3, 8, 10). The lake house was clean and well taken care of inside. Essentials like dishwashing pods, laundry soap, paper products, towels, and shower toiletries were stocked for us. We loved the wood beams and open floor plan. Our youngest loved the outdoorsy décor, especially the moose in one of the bedrooms! The property was gorgeous as well. Plenty of space to park and a huge yard to enjoy. We arrived during a snowstorm, but the property owners made sure to have the drive & walkways clear for us. We used the fire pit, which offers an unmatched view of the lake and mountains. We also played board games on the kitchen table and loved hanging out on the comfy sectional couch. The property owners live next door; they are very friendly and made sure everything went well with our visit. We felt very welcomed! We would have loved to stay longer, maybe forever! We’ll be back to this beautiful place; it was the perfect spot to rest and recharge.

Beautiful winter vacation home
This house is very beautiful and is in a perfect location! It is a little close to another couple homes but there was no issues with that at all. Great atmosphere good neighborhood. It is a very comfortable feeling and home away from home. Enough room for a nice size family and our dogs which is always a must. We loved everything about this place although a few minor hiccups. I like to clean when it comes to animals and kids you have to. There wasn’t really much cleaning supplies which is fine we bought some but the mop is very ragged and tearing apart and didn’t really work. The broom needs to be replaced with a bigger one as the one there is very tiny (for a place with all wooden floors) and the bristles were poking out everywhere making it hard to sweep up dirt. There is a chair at the table that the leg kept coming unscrewed so we didn’t want anyone to use that one and the little foot rest to the rocking chair has a broken leg so we didn’t want to use that either. The only other thing which was the biggest issue for us is the hot water. It didn’t stay hot for long and you have to wait in between showers for everyone to take one as it got very cold very quick. The tub which was a huge excitement for our family was beautiful but you could only fill it about 1/4 of the way before the water got ice cold. Other than these few things everything was great and it was stocked with dishes and pots and pans and as very clean and overall gorgeous. I would definitely stay here again.

The house was the perfect fit for our family with a master bedroom on the top floor and another on the bottom floor. This allowed for privacy for both my husband and I and my daughter and her boyfriend. The property was clean and the lakeside view was perfect. The property owners were close by and very attentive.

Wonderful Cottage
I've rented several homes in the Moosehead region and this was by far the best. The home was beautifully situated in a quiet area, with a picturesque view of the sun setting on the opposite end of the lake each evening. My dog loved spending time by the water, and I enjoyed using the lakeside fire pit. Mike and Becky were friendly and attentive hosts. I enjoyed our conversations. I’m looking forward to returning there.

Lovely stay
We had a wonderful time at this lovely lakeside cabin. The lake was still frozen and it was extremely windy and cold during our time there, but we still enjoyed being cooped up inside, especially with the large windows looking out at the lake. We are eager to one day return when the lake is no longer frozen. The house had everything we needed (except for dish soap, but I think that might have been an accidental oversight). The wind was very very loud on the metal roof and at one point the electricity seamlessly switched to the generator, but we still really enjoyed our time cooped up inside. The only suggestion for improvement would be better internet. We couldn't stream anything! We do hope to return soon.

Not the best heat or water
They lie about giving me a refund when the heat stop working. They had give us a space heater and my mom had to sleep on the couch to stay warm the all 3 nights. The first night we froze because the fireplace didn't work. There water doesn't get hot. Definitely wont recommend that place in the winter.

Great Vacation
Beautiful location and stunning views. Two great restaurants to eat at within 15 minutes. We did have a mouse or two to deal with, but it is in the country and it appeared the owners took necessary measures to prevent rodents (traps/bait stations). Downstairs needs a new shower head and it would be nice if the property had a working hair dryer. Without our furry friend, a working hair dryer, a decent screen door and easier to lock doors, this would have been a 5 star. All minor issues that the owners will hopefully address.

Beautiful home at a gorgeous spot!
Very easy checking in, place was immaculate. Plenty of space for our family of four and two dogs. Access to canoes, kayaks, bikes, rafts. WiFi was ok, no cell service in that area. Fine by me! Owners live nearby and are incredibly kind. So much fishing and boating to do in the area but come prepared it’s a solid 35 minutes to a grocery store (gas station with a small convenience store 15 min away). The lake and views are stunning, as is the night sky. Miss it already!

Hunting Trip
A friend and I came up to the Rockwood/Jackman area for a bird hunting trip. This house was in a great location to hit all the areas we wanted to. We were able to bring two dogs, though there was a sizable fee and also instructions that we had to clean the house after them. We were unsure what the additional fee was for if we were expected to clean anyways. The beds were great, bathroom fine, and the kitchen made it easy to chat and cook at the same time. The heat source was only one propane heater in the basement, so as the months go on I’m sure it will be chilly. We ended up leaving the door to the basement open so the heat would continue into the rest of the house. It looks like there are plans to put baseboard heaters in, hopefully it can be done soon. We did wake up to mice both mornings (stuck in the kitchen sink and in the trashcan), it didn’t bother us but I’m sure there are some who will not enjoy this. Overall, nice location and a good camp cabin with a ton of parking if you were to bring trailers or a lot of vehicles.

Spectacular home on the lake
We enjoyed this home in July. This spot on the lake cannot be beat! The home is clean and well equipped with anything we needed. The views of the lake are breathtaking. We enjoyed the firepit area every night for sunsets and smores. The canoe was perfect for fishing & we brought our own SUP. Water was perfect temp for swimming. TIP: make sure you bring water shoes. The beach area and lake floor is a bit rocky. My family can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful Sunsets -June 2021
This home was a welcome getaway for our family of three plus 2 dogs. The views of the lake were stunning. Note that it's about 30 min from Greenville (restaurants/grocery store/shopping) but the drive didn't bother us since we are familiar with the area and knew we would be in a remote location. The grocery store in Greenville has everything you will need! There is a convenience store/gas station about 10 min away from the house that carries essentials. There were a few issues that we had while we were there. I had planned to cook most of the week given COVID and the distance from town. However, that proved difficult given the condition and limited number of pots/pans. Additionally, the grill was not in usable condition, which was very disappointing. It does not appear to be cleaned on a regular basis. I attempted to clean it twice, but gave up both times (Note I'm not referring to the grill pictured in the listing, they have replaced that one with the one I'm referring to). I would plan to bring your own cookware if you are someone who plans on cooking all week and ask in advance about the grill! The home itself was very comfortable, welcoming and clean. However, when we were there, the sliding door in the basement had been locked by maintenance and was unusable. I'm not sure if this was because it was in process of being repaired or what. It would have been much nicer had it been operable so we could have opened it when were were using the lower level. Additionally, there is a heater in the basement that vents through the wall to the outdoors. On calm days, you can smell the exhaust from the heater when you are sitting on the side of the porch that overlooks the lake, and sometimes even in the living area. This caused us to remain inside with the door shut a couple of times. Thankfully we only had 1-2 days with little or no wind as we wanted to keep the door open most of the time. Lily Bay State Park is appx a 45 min drive from the house. We enjoyed walking the trail there with our dogs. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would return with hopes that these few things will be addressed.
