Tracey and Guy are wonderful hosts. Rockwood is a nice, quiet community - the location is perfect and close to so many wonderful outdoor adventures. The house was perfect for our family and Moosehead is just stunning. Highly recommend a visit and a stay.

We had a blast at Tracey’s adorable cottage. She and her husband Guy were quickly available for anything we needed (a smoke alarm that started chirping) and were extremely gracious when my 11 year old broke a porch window playing soccer in the yard . That same yard made for amazing star gazing at night. The location was fantastic, with a direct view of Kineo and quick access to our boat at the nearby dock. I enjoyed quiet reading time on a little tucked away deck and on the screen porch. Our 2 boys loved the little pebble beach where they found many sea glass treasures while snorkeling. The weather was hotter than we expected (90!) so the bedrooms got a little warm at night but since the living room has AC we just slept with the doors open. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Stay!

Our family of four had an amazing time! We had a very nice welcome from the hosts. The location on the lake was stunning…we enjoyed swimming right from the property and kayaking. The house was well equipped and very comfortable! We didn’t want to leave. The area has so much to offer…we hiked, went boating, ATVing, and mountain biking! We hope to come back again some day!

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.

Heaven on earth

The property was like being in heaven. The view was spectacular overlooking the lake with Mt Kineo in the distance. Tracey and Guy were excellent hosts, available for anything we needed. It felt like our souls were restored by God while we were there. We were so sad when we had to leave. Thank you Tracey and Guy for sharing your beautiful piece of heaven with us.

The cabin is located on a promontory or curve in this long, large lake. It is possessed of beautiful vistas, across the way Mt. Kineo towers over the water. The cabin itself is very cozy with its comfortable furniture and features knotty pine. It is perfectly quiet and one goes to sleep listening to the lake water.It could use a more thorough cleaning, and the non-stick pans should be replaced. Those are the only reasons I did not choose the 5 star rating.

We truly appreciate this guest bringing to our attention a few deep-cleaning items that had been overlooked. She was absolutely right in noting details such as dust bunnies behind the couch, toast crumbs in the toaster, and care needed under the sink. We strive to provide an excellent experience in a beautiful and well-kept cottage, and part of that is maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. Thanks to her helpful note at checkout, these items have already been addressed, and we will also remove any cookware that is no longer in good condition. Cleanliness is very important to us, and we are committed to improving our deep-cleaning practices throughout the season.

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!

Moosehead Tranquility

The cabin and its location were perfect. The first and last thing you see each day is Mt Kineo which was beautiful. We not only got to canoe to it, but took the ferry (in walking distance) to hike it. Everything needed for a week of rest and relaxation was provided at the cabin. Tracey and Guy thought of everything!

Fell in love with Mooshead Lake

We absolutely loved our vacation on Mooshead Lake, the camp was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed and is a perfect quite spot with amazing views. We enjoyed the beach and fire pit daily, and if you have a boat the lake is just phenomenal! My only complaint was that the camp needed a good cleaning, but luckily they had cleaning stuff/vacuum and we did so daily! We just fell in love with the lake and plan on vacationing on Mooshead yearly!

Lake living at its finest

We had a lovely week at this adorable lake house. The view of Mt. Kineo was spectacular! We loved hearing the loons at night and watching sunrises and sunsets across the lake. Nothing better than enjoying the view while having coffee on the screen porch in the mornings and campfires at night. The cottage was sparkling clean, and the hosts were super nice. They even offered for our kids to use some of their toys and helped us find a good spot to see moose (we saw 3!). It’s so convenient that this cottage is just steps to the Kineo ferry. Don’t miss the chance to hike there. It’s pretty special. We hope to be back to this region and to this lovely spot specifically. Thank you!

Lovely getaway

Tracey and Guy really have an amazing spot here! The property itself was perfect; on the water with a gorgeous view of Mt Kineo. It was sparkling clean! The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms were lovely and outfitted with space heaters, which was an awesome feature given it was still quite chilly at night. We loved having a campfire each night. There were games and a TV. The owners were so friendly and accessible! I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed getaway!

Lake House with Charm and a View!

My husband and I enjoyed everything about our stay in this charming house on the lake. The owner provided whatever you would need to make your stay pleasurable. Comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, and the screen porch with rocking chairs made our days there all the better. Definitely would highly recommend!

Our Rockwood getaway

This camp is amazing. It's stocked with everything you need. It's also very clean and so cozy. We were able to see the sunrise/sunsets everyday that were breathtaking. We enjoyed the fire pit, we were able to canoe, hike Mt kineo. We also met the owners who were very nice and accommodating if we needed anything. We will be back again for a 3rd time next year. I would highly recommend this camp.
