Dog-Friendly Lakefront Cabin with Private Dock, Epic Views of Lake & Mt Kineo

The Rockwood Cabin on Moosehead Lake

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Wash your worries away on Moosehead Lake at this charming cabin, featuring an unbeatable lakefront location, views of the water and Mt. Kineo from your back deck, and a private dock for swimming, fishing, and boating fun! You can even bring the family dog.

Located just steps from the water on the central western shore of the lake, this cabin offers a quiet location free of the noise and distractions of town. The large, grassy yard is ideal for campfires, lawn games, and barbecues, and the pebble beach is great for swimming and wading.

This cabin is well cared for and has hosted vacationing families for generations. Rock away your mornings on the back deck admiring the view and go for a swim off the dock to feel refreshed. Use the fully equipped kitchen to cook up tasty meals and fire up the gas grill to cook up your fresh catch of the day. Lakeside dining is a must at the patio table on the dock. Get cozy every night next to the gas fireplace with a book or a show on the cable TV.

This is a vacation you're not likely to forget - book today!

Cabin on Moosehead Lake

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views of the lake. Unfortunately, it was raining for about the first 24 hours that we were there, so we didn't get to enjoy the back deck. Quaint little place, but fulfilled our needs.

Absolutely wonderful cabin on Moosehead Lake! So clean and comfortable. The pictures don’t even do it justice. This is a beautiful vacation spot for anyone looking to get away from everything and have a quiet and relaxing trip. I’d give it 20 stars if I could..I fell in love with Moosehead Lake after our wonderful time here.

Moosehead Revisited

Outstanding location on the lake looking at Mount Kineo. Traditional Maine camp with most modern amenities. Comfortable with a dock for swimming and boating. Used the fire pit and deck and front porch multiple times. The water in front of the camp is like a lagoon behind a breakwater 5 feet deep or so. There is a narrow boating entrance at the north end. Some caution is needed in navigating but well protected and great for swimming. Would definitely use again. Very clean.

Perfect

This little slice of heaven is just what we needed for a getaway. Right on the water. The porch was perfect at night for listening to the loons and relaxing. The dock was perfect for fishing, and I wish we had stayed longer to enjoy the outdoor table area to eat meals. The main page says there is no internet, but there was great internet for us, a box right in the cabin, which was very nice, if you need it. There is a grill for cooking, and a nice big field for pets and kids to run around. The only thing that I was bummed about, most homeaway places I have stayed, there has been things leftover, such as ketchup, mustard, spices, tinfoil, that kind of stuff. All you have here are the minimums, plates, utensils, cups, etc. Bring your own coffee too! (Not sure if this is normal, but for me it was not) the 4 twin beds were a little odd too, for couples a queen in one of the rooms would be nice. BUT! Those are only my opinions. Otherwise, this was perfect and just what we needed! I would absolutely reccomend this property, and come back too!

Great week!

Wonderful location that can’t be beat. Porch sits right over the the water. The dock is solid and we’ll built. Having wifi and TV is a plus. Beds very comfy. Having coffee in the morning and happy hour at the end of the day on the porch rockers is pure bliss. The owner is extremely nice and very helpful with knowledge of the area. The eagles have a nest on the little island and it was nice to see them soar above us. Kitchen is well equipped. Plenty of counter space. Lots of water pressure in the shower…I could rinse my hair in under 10 seconds lol. The only thing I would change is to replace the futon with a comfortable sleep sofa. Unless you’re 6 feet tall it is not comfortable to sit and read. The rocking chairs worked fine and I also brought my favorite folding chair. It was a very relaxing week and we would love to return! Thank you Nancy for everything and thank you for allowing dogs. Our Casey had a good time too!

Nice cabin but Vacasa is very slow to respond, cabin need some basic updates

Beautiful view. Charming cabin. Comfortable. But improvements could be made. Check in was sketchy because the power was off. It was just about dark so we couldn't see. Called Vacasa but the support wasn’t very helpful. Miraculously the power came on about 20 minutes after we arrived. Vacasa support knew nothing about the property to help. Be prepared for dirt roads everywhere so bring your awd or 4wd. There are no kayaks or canoes to use. Any photos you see with some belong to the people next door. The furniture coverings are not in great condition so we used towels and sheets to cover them. There are not many electrical outlets so i would bring an extension cord and a surge protector. The outlets in the bedrooms are very old and loose and do not have 3 prong outlets. Doubtful they're up to code. The living area is very dark even with all of the lights on. It would be nice if the owners put in better lighting. It was pretty dark for reading in the sitting area at night. Be aware the shower is kind of plopped in the batroom and the walls are very flimsy, made of flexible plastic panels. The shower almost fell apart when one of us lost balace and grabbed the wall. But the oressure is good. One last thing is that the door locks are very inadequate. The only security is a small hook and eye that you can get at Ace Hardware for $2.39. There us a slide latch on the front door but it’s so flimsy i could probably kick the door in with my weaker leg. But keep in mind this is an old place with old stuff. Some of it is charming but a few made us think they need updating. I would stay again though. But i think a little money could be invested by the owners for better safety and security.

Absolutely perfect

Great little cabin in the perfect spot. Enjoyed my morning coffee on the front deck staring across Moosehead Lake at Mt. Kineo. Got to watch a nesting pair of eagles on the small island at the mouth of the river. Cabin is super cozy and beds were comfy too.
