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.
