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!!!

Great snowmobiling trip
We had a great stay. I really like the house and everything was easy, which is a blessing during a vacation. The location is great for winter (and probably summer). Already dreaming of our next trip.

Perfect, absolutely perfect!
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!

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!

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.

Perfection!
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 getaway
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 .

Moosehead Hideaway is a great place
Stunning views with such an open front - anytime of day/night looks great - location is ~1 mile from shops and town activities. Canoes/kayaks and bikes were a big plus. Mooring was added benefit for our 20' boat - endless sites to explore including Kineo hiking (wow what a view), Moose sightings at the DOT. fishing etc etc. Very laid back community and great food at Stress Free Moose. Kids loved it. Scott (owner) was great as well.

Perfect family getaway
Could not have been a more perfect location for a family with kids! And with it being at the beginning of peeping season, the lake was just aglow with all the beautiful colors of the changing leaves. We loved having access to the many kayaks and canoes from the owners. The fire pit was used nightly as s'mores were in demand :) The kids thoroughly enjoyed climbing the rocks and playing on the pebble beach. The house was great! We really appreciated the huge binder of "things to do" left by the owner. Because of that, we ended up hiking Mt. Kineo one morning and it was amazing! If we are ever able to get back to Maine, we'd definitely return to Moosehead Hideaway.

Too dirty and in poor condition. The refrigerator was not cleaned at all. The sink and the surroundings were in a very dirty state. The inside of the cabinet was not cleaned at all.

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!

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.
