Private Waterfront Compound on Moosehead Lake - Lodge + 3 Cabins

Nice, old school lodge and cabins that are well maintained and full of history with most of the modern amenities you could want. The views are breathtaking as this spot is directly across from Kineo. Hosts were very nice and very responsive. We would definitely go back!

I have mixed feelings about this rental -- there are a lot of positives, but also a number of negatives relative to other homes I have rented historically. I'll start with the positives. The location is wonderful -- you have an unobstructed view of the lake and Mt Kineo, there is shockingly little boat traffic on the lake, the dock and mooring work well for boat rentals, and the landscaping around the property is very nice. The owners also provide a lot of nice toys that you are free to use from kayaks to canoes to cornhole and bocce. And finally, I liked the rustic decor within the cabins. On the negative side, this property requires a fair bit of work on the part of the renters. The cabins are off the grid and electricity is run by batteries which have to be fed by generators. That means that as the renter, you have to go outside twice a day to start the generator and twice a day to turn off the generator to prevent the batteries from getting too low and causing damage. It's not difficult, but it's annoying. If you want to run the washing machine, you have to go outside and flip a switch and then run the generator all the time the washing machine is on. Then when you finish washing, you have to go out and flip the switch again and turn off the generator. There is no dryer so drying must be done on the clothes line. These things are not difficult to do, but for folks used to the conveniences of modern living, they are a hassle.

We had a wonderful time as a family….very peaceful.

We were a large extended family from east & west coast and Deer Lodge was exceptional for us. It is so beautiful and at the same time comfortable. We were welcomed upon arrival and everything explained to us about the workings of the camp. We highly recommend this lovely rental.

We love Moosehead Lake, the camp and cabins we perfect fir a family of 6. The views were amazing and great access to the lake

Wonderful

From the moment we made the reservation to the point of checkout, the entire experience was unforgettable. What a gorgeous location and interesting property filled with lots of history. Daily visits from ducks, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and an occasional moose sighting. If you want to relax and unwind with your family while enjoying nature, this is the place to go. A wonderful experience all around! 5 stars.

Our family loved our stay at the family compound / lodge. The cabins were comfortable and the exactly at the right level of rustic and updated. There are four cabins. My wife and I stayed in the main cabin, which has a master bedroom with a beautiful view of the lake. This main cabin is also where we ate most of our meals -- there is a large table positioned under a skylight. We also sat out on the front porch overlooking the water a fair amount, and spent a lot of time out on the water playing around the lake. The lake is crystal clear and was refreshingly cool. What a treat!

Loved our trip to Moosehead lake staying in these cozy cabins right on the lake. Unbelievable water views/sunsets and star gazing. Loved sitting by the fire pit at night listening to the loons. We stayed in the main cabin and my husband used the cabin next to it as his office which worked out perfect. Wifi was great. Main cabin wonderfuly decorated with antiques and very comfortable master bed. Had everything we needed for cooking, lounging, etc. Beautiful views from cabins, porch, dock. Did a ton of hiking and took a wonderful seaplane trip. Nearby saw deer, turkeys, mink, rabbits, - and moose prints although not a full on moose. Loved that the place was solar powered - very easy to manage the generator as needed. Main cabin has an outdoor shower which I loved (got super hot!) and the cabin next door had an indoor shower (more my husbands style!). They had a canoe and paddle boards which I kept meaning to take out but got distracted with other activities and then it was a little to windy for me. Next time!!!

Our extended family rented this glorious property for a week. The cabins are very well maintained - lots of love evident in the care of the cabins and landscape. It sits RIGHT on the lake. Gorgeous views all times of days and nights from the porches and dock. Swimming was exquisite - clear water and easy access. We went canoeing every day and rented a small motor boat which was lovely. Superb hiking in the area - we did a longer hike 4 of the days. The views were astonishing. The owners were incredibly response and very helpful.
