We had a wonderful stay at the Moosehead Hideaway.Everything was as listed and the view was amazing. It was comfortable, conveniently close to town and relaxing. Definitely would rent again.
We loved how well appointed this rental was. Everything you needed was right there. The few times I needed to contact the owner I received quick and helpful replies. Or while family enjoyed our stay.
The home has everything we needed and the location was perfect. We had easy access to hikes, lakes and town. The stay was just what we wanted and would highly recommend to anyone.
We had a great stay and truly enjoyed the home and lake. The home is well stocked with recreational gear and all the kitchen amenities needed. The view from inside really made it special!
This property has everything you would want for a week on Moosehead Lake and was perfect size for our family of four. Great location close to town, our week was full of boating, biking, and hiking. Owner was very helpful and responsive. Would certainly stay again.
This lake house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The house itself was very clean and provided many activities for adults and kids. The location was close to town and loves seeing all the sea planes! Would definitely recommend.
Close to everything with beautiful views. Pleasantly suprised with how warm the house was able to stay despite lake winds. This house is well cared for with lots of nice updates.
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!
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!!!
Great place right on the lake in Greenville. Scott was great and responded immediately to any issues. Kitchen was well stocked. House was clean. Has a dish washer I would definitely stay here again
House has everything you will need for a great trip. Lovely home, nice location. Would love to see some comfy Adirondack chairs to look out at the water next time. Deer came through the yard daily. Kids loved catching crawfish and a 3 lb bass right from the dock!
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 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!
This house is just fantastic. We got to watch the total eclipse from the deck! TV works great, kitchen has all you need and bedrooms are clean. thank you, Scott, or replying to messages so quickly.
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!
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 .
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.
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.
What a great place! We had an amazing trip. Lots of stuff to do, even an enjoyable time relaxing. Moosehead Lake is one of our favorite places and having this lakefront property is worth every penny! We can’t wait to come back!
