Lakefront Log Home on First Connecticut Lake - Moosewood

Moosewood was located on First Connecticut Lake in a quiet and private area. We enjoyed a relaxing week by the water while our Lab was in his happy place, swimming daily. The Lake is crystal clear for swimming but make sure you bring water shoes because it is rocky. The deck has comfortable chairs to sit and watch the sunrise, listen to the loons or read a book. There are also plenty of chairs for the bottom patio and lawn. Perfect for a family. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, dishes, utensils, coffee maker and more. We were there in October with the nights already chilly but there is a screened in porch with a TV, furniture and large picnic table that would be perfect for spring and summer evenings. Matt and Heather responded immediately if needed and left house instructions with information about attractions in the area. Young's General Store has just about everything you might need for your stay. I don't bother bringing much other than kitchen staples. There are restaurants to enjoy dinner out but plan ahead, you'll need reservations at Rainbow Grille and Murphys Steakhouse. We have been visiting Pittsburg for about 15 years now and this was one of our favorite stays. We are getting older now so the daily long hikes and fishing in the river aren't quite as frequent but we were happy just enjoying the scenery from this comfortable home. Thank You!!

Great log-cabin experience in a beautiful location. Two great porches--the covered porch open to the lake and the screened porch on the side. Dog friendly, and easy to communicate with the owners. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and in/on the property. We hope to return again. Our stay in late September meant that the lake was very low; if that is going to be an issue for you (b/c of fishing or swimming or wanting to be nearer the water), check lake levels ahead of time. One of the great things about First Connecticut Lake is the sound of loons, especially at night. Fall is a great time for loons, in our experience, and that was a special treat.

This cabin is a dream! The lake is so clean and having direct access makes it a stress free trip.

My family and I had the best time at this home. The house was extremely clean, the views are amazing. We enjoyed looking at the stars and seeing the milky way. Some great hiking near by. We drove up and down 3 looking for the elusive moose but were unlucky. The kids really enjoyed sitting on the dock, swimming and going out in the canoe. They also enjoyed watching shows on the outdoor patio. I have already told several people about this home and hopefully we will get back up there one day.

Wonderful cabin on 1st CT lake. Very private. Peaceful getaway to the great north woods.

Amazing!!! Wow Wow!! The log cabin is spectacular and the view of the first Connecticut lake is a picture from a movie!The home is fully equipped with kitchen needs and plenty of space to spread out. The on line description is very accurate. You are secluded from any neighbors. If you like to ATV, boat, hike, fish hunt etc. This is a perfect place for you. I use Pittsburg NH to unwind from city life. If you want fancy places to eat and shop that's not this area. This cabin is spectacular and spaciousness and your hosts keep it well maintained. This is the real deal in the North woods!

Moosewood is the perfect lakeside getaway!We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lakeside cabin! From the moment we arrived, everything was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The setting is peaceful and beautiful, with lake views that made mornings with coffee on the deck a highlight of the trip.The cabin had everything we needed with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches throughout. We especially enjoyed the fire pit and the kids spent evenings fishing off the dock.The host was fantastic, very responsive, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. They provided clear instructions and their house book was full of great local recommendations, which made our stay even better.This place was perfect for relaxing, reconnecting with nature, and enjoying quality time together. We can’t wait to come back!

The location is so private, and the lake is great for kayaking with limited gas boats. The cabin was top notch with a rustic feel. Also, great for the fur buddies. Nice place to take the dogs on a stroll. People were so kind. Great stress releaser for hustle bustle. Defiantly recommend this place for those who love nature. Listen to the voices of the Loons.

House and location were amazing. It was a great trip. Highly recommend this property

This was perfect for our getaway. A little trouble accessing trails but we had a blast!! Matt was easy to reach at all times. Thanks for the use of your home, Matt and Heather.

just great. the locals were wonderful. and the neighbors could not have been more friendly

The house is beautiful. The water was incredible. We sat out on the dock in the morning for coffee. Saw loons and babies. Other waterfowl we had not seen before. Dogs loved water and retrieving balls. There were nearby trails and IGA in Colebrook was great for grocery shopping. It was about 27 miles away. There is also a really funky store that has amazing fudge and lots of different things. The meat and produce were not great. We loved our stay.

We had a great time at the cabin, it was relaxing and loved listening to the loons on the lake.
