Poet's Lodge - Rustic 4 bedroom cabin on the shores of Mooselookmeguntic Lake

The best feature of Poet's Lodge is its wonderful location on the lake with easy access to the beach and water. It is a simple slope from the house to the beach with wonderful sand and gentle slope in the water. The second best feature is its screened porch. We had a puppy and this screened in porch was a great place for her to hang out and watch the world. We ate all our meals outdoors on the porch without any mosquitos or flies. The house is dated with a museum quality stove. That did not bother us. The shower was terrific and the kitchen adequate. We would, however, recommend that the mattress in the master bedroom be replaced and the wooden adirondack chairs, or better quality adirondack chairs be added to the porch as the plastic ones were difficult to sit in. We very much enjoyed staying in the Poet's Lodge and would consider staying there again.

Poets Lodge is a wonderful location to enjoy days in the sun on the large grassy lawn or you can jump right into the lake for an invigorating swim. The camp is comfortable with a warm rustic character and a working antique stove/oven. The nice screened porch that faces the lake is a perfect spot to enjoy the breeze while watching the sunset. There is also generous room for parking. Being so close to Haines Landing and the OG makes grabbing a sandwich then putting your boat in the water really easy.

This is great cabin in a perfect location and within walking distance to BMC. Upon arrival we found the property to be very clean. The extra half bathroom is a great addition. The folks at Morton and Furbish were incredibly kind and immediately responded to all our requests. With that said, the property would really benefit for some updating, including the replacement of the porch screening, the box springs mattresses (all very old), some painting and the replacement of the wallpaper in the primary bathroom which is showing signs of deterioration and what appears to be a small area of mold. The Kitchen needs new pots and pans with sufficient silverware to accommodate eight guests. The addition of lawn chairs also be would be huge plus. Despite all of these concerns, we would highly recommend this property to others.

Big yard for kids to play. Sandy beach and a wonderful Porch to enjoy the lake. I enjoyed the fire pit down by the lake as well. What it needs is comfortable beds and porch furniture. The. It would have 5 plus starts.

The Poet's Lodge Cabin is not fancy, but it is comfortable and in a great location being right on mooselookmeguntic lake. The screened in porch facing the lake is a very nice bonus. Sunsets can be easily seen from the back porch. There is quick access to the Oquossoc Grocery and Bald Mountain. While the cabin has no internet, we found we did not need it anyway. It forced us to really disconnect.

we had a great time at Poets Lodge. beautiful setting on the lake, the cottage is a bit campy but very comfortable

Beautiful location. Walking distance to Bald Mountain Camps where we had family staying was very helpful. Sunsets were amazing. Use of the canoe was great. Overall good stay.

Thanks to everyone at Morton & Furbish Vacation Rentals for helping set up our stay at the cabin. Their information updates made the entire process easy and seamless. The cabin itself was very nice with nonstop views of the lake from the screened-in porch. Our only real issue was the out-of-date boxsprings and mattresses in all of the bedrooms. As an older group of guys, we're looking for beds that aren't older than we are. Amazing place to spend some time and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks - Charlie

Didn't realize (could be our own fault) there is one bedroom out of the cabin. Kinda takes the everyone together thing away. Just a few things were unavailable; large bowls and serving spoons. Dining room table seats only about 5. So we brought in the picnic table for all of us to eat together. We had a blast and made do, not looking for perfection....just fun time together!

We really loved our week in the Poet's Lodge and are considering staying again in the future. It felt like staying in an old Maine camp. The post and beam construction was on full display. The place is clearly old, but well-maintained and everything was in working order. The old GE electric stove was retro! If you want and Rangeley lake camp experience, to be ensconced in nature, quiet neighbors, amazing sunsets, walk to Bald Mountain Camp for dinner and drinks, across the street from Bald Mountain Trailhead, this is for you. We sat on the screened-in porch and watched the kids swim until the sun went down. We basically lived outside- meals on the porch, coffee by the campfire. If you want a chef's kitchen, this rental is not for you. If you need top of the line, brand new everything, look elsewhere. But we love to the old-time feel and the setting. Loved: sandy beach, right on the water, screened in porch, picnic tables, spacious bedrooms, satellite TV, 1.5 baths, quiet neighbors, views, sunsets, campfire pit, lots of windows to catch the lake breeze, cleanliness. Would have preferred: better equipped kitchen, knives were all pretty dull, non-stick frying pans were destroyed (finish totally gone), limited large pot for pasta. Definitely need more pots and pans. OK with galley kitchen, mothball smell in the bathrooms (we just opened the windows), cell reception. (I was prepared for no cell reception, but both AT&T and Verizon devices were able to get 2 bars of LTE most of the time which allowed checking email, social media and making calls.
