Due to a cancellation, I still have one summer week available, August 16th-Aug 23rd.
This lakefront, chalet-style home is located on the shores of Great Moose Lake in Hartland, Maine. Great Moose Lake covers 3500 acres and is a popular destination for those looking to find a quieter off-the-beaten-path place to vacation. The home is located on Great Moose Lake's huge northeast cove, providing easy access to the main body of water but not as busy to boating traffic. For winter vacations, this house is located minutes off of Maine's extensive ITS trail system.
Located just over three hours north of Boston, this home is ideally situated for both summer and winter vacations. There is 125 feet of very private rocky/sandy frontage on the lake with a 25 foot dock to access the water from. The frontage itself is deep water with a small sandy access area for smaller kids and deep-water from the end of the dock. There is a public boat launch available, however, if you can lift your boat, you can back your small boat right up to waters edge and launch from this homes waterfront.
On Great Moose Lake, you will enjoy swimming, boating, windsurfing, water-skiing, tubing, sunning, fishing, or simply cruising around the lake exploring all this lake has to offer. New this year is a huge floating dock and swim float, the perfect place to spend a lazy summer day soaking up the sun. Also new is a 6 man outdoor hottub. If you do not have your own boat, I do have one for rent (click on the link for my web site below for details). Fishing is open year round and you can expect to catch Brown trout, large & small mouth bass, white and yellow perch and Brookies in the tributaries.
For the autumn vacationers, October holds some of the most beautiful foliage outside of the white mountains you'll ever see and November on Great Moose Lake is a hunter's paradise.
For the winter snowmobilers and cross country skiers, this home is located to the east of Maine's snowmobile hub (Rangeley) with easy access to groomed trails including ITS 84 which gives you access to virtually the entire state. If you wish to work on your snowmobiles, a separate out building and/or garage is available at no extra cost. This house is on a four and a half mile well-maintained access road, so four wheel-drive (4WD) is preferable for winter access, although quite a few people get in and out using FWD. The house is also easily accessible in the winter time via the snowmobile trails, which are but a three minute ride to the parking area at the boat launch. The house is fully powered for winter use including an automated backup generator. Great Moose Lake is also a very popular destination for ice fishing, a power auger and four tip-ups are provided.
The interior of the home is simply beautiful. Most of the interior was custom built in knotty pine and the hardwood maple floors simply light up the home. There is an open and airy loft overlooking the living room with huge glass windows overlooking the deck and lake. The finished basement holds the fourth bedroom and has sliders directly facing the lake. The fully-equipped kitchen is available for your home cooked meals. A washer and dryer are also provided. The first floor master bath is full sized and the upstairs bath is a 3/4 bath. The home has approximately 2600 square feet of living space. There is a full-size soft and fluffy futon in the loft, so if you are the kind of person who likes to wake up to an expansive view of a pristine Maine lake, then you will want to claim that as your bed!
Nearby you will find restaurants and golf courses, as well as a guide service which will cater to your needs, be it fishing, photography or simply exploring. If you love good microbrewed beer, be sure to ask about the Oak Pond breweries tour.
Please note, dogs are welcome with one exception, they must be quiet, i.e. no perpetual barkers. Folks who live and vacation on Great Moose Lake do so for the peaceful serenity of the area, so please respect that. If you have any questions regarding this policy please don't hesitate to contact me.
In-season (June-Oct) housekeeping is provided prior to your arrival along with sheets and towels. No housekeeping is provided in the off-season (Nov-May), I depend on my guests to leave the house as clean as they found it. |
