Book a Northwest Piscataquis Cottage

"They were very helpful and knew about the area."

"The property is on a quiet side street, right on the lake while also being very close to town, groceries, restaurants and our favorite fishing supply store. The bedrooms are exactly as they looked in the photos and very clean. Especially the bedding. The towels and sheets were all very clean. All the kitchen appliances and the washer and dryer were in tip top shape. These things are important to me when I'm staying a few days in one place. The kitchen was nice and open with plenty of space and room. The dining table was large and made serving food easy as it's an open kitchen and dining area layout. The step-down-into living room with the television was a nice separate space from the rest of the house. The lawn is very very spacious but the dock was where we spent all of our time if we were outside. Everyone used the canoe and one of us used the little kayak. It was great that we were able to get out further on the water. There is a perfectly placed fire pit by the water with lawn chairs but it was so hot and humid the first two evenings and we didn't feel like adding more heat!It was a very peaceful spot with the noises of the loons day and night. "

"One of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed. Super friendly staff. The views are out of this world. Very clean and well maintained. Cannot recommend enough. "

"Not enough lighting outside. It was extremely dark. You had to get out if your car and basically start to climb the stairs before the sensor lights came on. Lights are needed when you drive up and get out of the car too. I am handicapped and aged. More lighting is needed "

"We spent a lovely Saturday - Tuesday up in the area with our friends and this was truly such a gem of a spot. We had the full spectrum of weather, so we were able to take full advantage of both the woodstove (wood provided) on a chilly evening, and use the boat launch and beach access on the sunny days!The beds were incredibly comfy, and my partner-who usually has back issues when traveling- had no issues sleeping and had no pain (a win!)The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots/pans/Tupperware/utensils that we needed to cook, which was perfect since we ate most of our meals at the cabin. Pantry staples were not included (like oil & spices) but we brought our own just in case, so it worked out perfectly.We heard loons on the lake, saw and incredible display of stars at night, and overall had such a great time. We will absolutely be back!"

"House was well stocked with everything including pans, silverware, dishes, towels, shampoo, kayak & canoe, dock, paddles, outdoor seating, fire pit. No bugs outdoors. Only complaint was backyard was not mowed & lots of vegetation around fire pit & no life jackets (had to drive into town to rent some)."

"Perfect location, beautiful cabin. Loved the second bath upstairs. "

"Beautiful home right on Moosehead Lake with stunning views. Plenty of space to entertain with a lovely kitchen with up to date appliances and also a washer and dryer. Included kayaks for recreation! The bathrooms were very clean. Overall a wonderful stay and a wonderful home. It was beautiful to start and end the day with a sunrise and sunset from the loft bedroom. It was the perfect piece of paradise without being too isolated as we had neighbors next door. We also were less than 5 minutes from the small downtown restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops. My spouse and I greatly enjoyed making our coffee and enjoying the balcony and dock. while we didn’t actively use the dock we did hang out on the chairs there to watch the loons and other birds.A few things to note preference wise if you book- if you have a messed up back such as myself I reccomend sleeping in the downstairs bedroom. The loft mattress was a bit too soft for my back and exacerbated my lower back issues.- If you’re a light sleeper like me, depending on the time of year you may want to sleep in the downstairs rooms only because the loft bedroom has no doors and the windows facing the beautiful lake have no blinds. Important because during June the sun was rising at 4 in the morning and if you’re a southerner like myself you will forget that the sun rises earlier in the day and sets later because of the geographic location of Northern Maine. This isn’t specific to this home it’s more so to the area in general. "

"My fiancé and I wanted to do an easy staycation near home and this couldn’t have been better! Communication and checkin was incredibly simple. We enjoyed the private dock and pond access, listening to the loons at night! We can’t wait to come back for another trip! "
