  My husband and I stayed in this pristine, extremely cozy, and very well-appointed cabin for a long winter weekend. We really enjoyed being away from it all and totally secluded yet just 15 minutes from town by snowmobile. This cabin, and the others in the compound, are very well built. The owner also has taken considerable time on the details and decor of the home. It reminded us of some of the places we've seen in Colorado and Montana. The kitchen with Aga appliances and living area are both very comfortably sized. We enjoyed the cabin environment so much that we ate in every night. The view from the bedroom and living room are wonderful. I enjoyed cozying up in that corner chair in the picture above with a cup of coffee every morning and looking out at the lake. I am sure it is very beautiful here in the summer and fall as well. It was also neat to take a walk in the morning after a fresh snowfall and see the great variety of animal tracks that could be found all around the compound. We definitely will return next winter and also think this would be the perfect spot for a summer family getaway. With four small cottages to choose from, everyone could enjoy their own private space if you were to rent the entire compound. I also want to say that the real estate agency in charge of renting us the property (Higgins Real Estate), and those involved in the maintaining of the property, are extremely helpful. All were very accessible and more than happy to help us out with any questions we had - from the best snowmobiling routes, tips on dining, and more.

  If you are looking for true Maine beauty, rest, relaxation, peace and serenity, you will find it here. What a gem! From the 3,000 feet of water frontage, with paths in the woods along the shore, grand boulders jetting out of the waters, mountains that mesmerize as they change colors during the days and evenings, wonderful old cabins to explore complete with a huge firepit, swings and seasaw; to the gorgeous new log cabins that have been built with amazing craftsmanship, affection and attention to every detail, complete with lovely appliances, decor, linens and dishes. There is also a sturdy dock for boating, swimming or fishing and great outdoor spaces for biking and walking. You won't want to leave and can't wait to come back! We've traveled many places and this experience ranks right at the top. Greenville is also a charming village, if you can bear to leave this place, to venture into town. There are many things to see and do. And if you like wild life, we saw moose, deer, coyotes, fox, rabbits, ducks, loons, partridge, turkeys, squirrels and many species of birds, all in one week...wow!

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  We have certainly enjoyed being we the first guests @ the Shepherd's cabin. We have been coming to Lake Moosehead for several years in the winter to snowmobile and in the summer to escape the heat and to enjoy the lake. However, we have never stayed in such a beautiful cabin in an exquisite setting. The attention to detail is amazing! Thank you for this experience. We loved having the docks for our boat and the ability to launch and take out right here this time of year.
