THE RENTAL IS FROM SUNDAY TO SUNDAY.

Some basic house information:

The wood stove is for visual ambiance. It is currently not functional so please do not attempt to use it.

We recommend using bottled water for drinking and cooking. It is safe for teeth brushing and washing dishes.

There is a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall by the back porch. There is a first aid kit under the sink in the bathroom, along with Benadryl and acetaminophen. There are three smoke alarms in the house (one is a carbon monoxide detector). These are battery operated and should NEVER be tampered with.

Canoes/Kayaks – There are two canoes and two kayaks for you to use, located at the camp next door (kayaks by the camp, canoes down by the point). Life jackets and paddles will be located on the porch next door. It is imperative that you wear your life jackets at all times and use extreme caution and diligence when deciding to boat on this lake. If there are any white caps, we would not advise attempting to boat. This lake demands respect and caution.

Gas grill – You are welcome to use the gas grill for cooking. The fire pit out front is available to use however, you should bring your own fire wood.

You are welcome to use the point located on the adjacent property for swimming. Just a short walk down towards the public boat launch is a small beach for swimming and is more suited for young children. Just to the left of that beach is a private dock (WHITTEN) which you can use during your stay.

The heat pump on the wall is for heat and cold air. Slide the remote control face down for the controls. There is a fan in the back utility closet.

There is good wifi service and a smart TV. The password is provided at check in.

Things you might want to bring: fire wood, all food & drink, sunscreen, bug spray, camera, shampoo and toiletries.

There are plenty of coffee filters and sugar.

Most importantly, relax and enjoy the view!!

Location, location, location!

The location was fabulous. directly across Moosehead Lake from Mt. Kineo. The house was rustic, beds were comfortable and all appliances worked. We had a fire one night and could see the Milky Way in the dark sky.

The perfect location!

We spent a week here in late August and it was the perfect family getaway in the perfect location! The location has a large grass lawn to play games in or layout in the sun. You can swim right off the point and/or launch your paddleboard or kayak. The best part is overlooking the gorgeous lake and Mount Kineo right across the way! With the firepit we would get a fire going and watch the sunlight setting against the rock face across the lake. We also walked to the small town beach and to the boat launch where you can ride the ferry to Mount Kineo State Park and golf course (though we don't golf). Overall a very quite, very private, and just perfect location for those looking to get away! The cabin itself had everything we would need including most kitchen supplies, which was nice. The kids slept in the upstairs loft which has twin beds, they liked being up there. We enjoyed the screened in porch and would sit there in the evenings and just listen to the lake sounds. Tracey and Guy were accommodating hosts and responded very promptly to my one question early in the week. We got to meet them on the final weekend and other than that we were left to our own, which was great! I would recommend this location to anyone wanting a prime lake front location, with or without kids, and just RELAX for a week!

About the host

Hosted by Tracey Whitten

We have been in the hospitality business for almost 20 years and take what we do very seriously. We have a deep love for the area, the history and safety for our guests. Guy grew up on this property and is very well versed in all aspects of the lake and surrounding area.

What makes this property unique

This is where we go to unplug and rewind. The views and energy at this spot are very tranquil and relaxing. If you are looking for action, this is not the place. If you are looking to relax, read a book, hike Kineo, boat, sun bath, enjoy good food and family time, this is the perfect spot. Nighttime views are amazing with endless stars.
