Family Vacation in Rockwood!

From the moment we pulled up we knew we were going to have a great stay! The pictures do not do the home justice! We stayed for 2 weeks and were very comfortable in the home and enjoyed the ample bedrooms and baths for our family of 5. We worked remotely while there and went on many hikes and fishing trips! I would highly recommend this space to anyone who is considering visiting Moosehead Lake! Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Nice and cozy!

The property was beautiful, quiet, and in a great location to "get away" from the world. We spent a fair amount of time on the dock and porch. The kitchen was nice and spacious as well. The only complaint we have is an odor in the house upon entry and if the windows were closed for long periods of time, but opening the windows to circulate the air resolved it quickly.

Snow trip

There was an issue with the number of beds, but the Caretaker resolved it before all the guys arrived. We had a great time! The cabin in beautiful. Everything worked as it should. Could not have asked for better weather for snowmobiling and ice fishing. The fish even cooperated. A small herd of deer came by every morning too.

Nice cabin, plenty of sleeping area

This property was nice and the cabin was as well. Plenty of sleeping spots in the house allowed my larger party to be all in one location. Plenty of shade in the backyard provided some relief from the hot sun.

Perfect Mountain Lake Getaway

We traveled with our family and grandma, looking for a relaxing and remote getaway. The cabin was very clean and had all necessary amenities. Location on the river was perfect to dock our pontoon and gave us easy access to the lake. Kids loved fishing and swimming off the dock. Great vacation!

Rockwood

The log cabin is amazing! Beds are comfortable and the cabin is beautifully decorated. Comfy furniture. We had everything we needed. It was the perfect setting for our ATV vacation. Easy access to the trails and good riding for the whole family. The hike down the stairs to get to the private dock on the river was a little misleading. 63 stairs down to get to the river and 63 stairs up to get back to the cabin. Even our 11 yr old son had to take breaks to get up the multiple flights of stairs. We had an inflatable canoe however could be difficult for anyone to get a regular canoe or kayak down and up the stairs. No "waterfront" views. Great vacation!

Beautiful Rockwood camo with easy access to Moosehead Lake and boat rentals

Great property for a medium sized group. The dock is probably the highlight, but the cabin is well built and charming. Kitchen is well setup, and the grill works great. Walls between. Rooms are a little thin of you are a light sleeper, but the beds are all comfortable.

Beautiful Cabin Worked Out Perfectly

We enjoyed our stay for a weekend of snowmobiling. The cabin was perfect; beautiful cabin, lots of parking space, perfect location for trail access, very roomy, clean, great condition and well appointed. Property manager was very prompt to answer questions beforehand. Enjoyed watching the deer every morning while drinking our coffee!

Beautiful home on Moose River

We go to Rockwood every year in May to celebrate my son's birthday. This property was extremely comfortable and homey. We had very cold weather (it snowed) and it was so lovely to have a fire in the great fieldstone fireplace. The fish were biting so my son was happy. The caretaker left us plenty of nice dry wood. I would definitely recommend this property for a family get away.

Perfect for snowmobile group!

This cabin was perfect for our group of 4 couples! Four bedrooms gave each couple our privacy, but the spacious kitchen/living area was perfect for spending time as a group. A big plus was the heated gear room to take off helmets and snowmobile gear so we didn't drag snow into the house- and our gear was always dry and warm by the next morning. Cabin was CLEAN! Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. Linens and towels were clean, beds were comfy. Highly recommend,we hope to stay again!!
