Moosehead is a very special place. The Lake is the perfect location for people looking for a unique outdoor experience. The region is often referred to as `God`s Country` by locals.
Moosehead is largest lake east of the Mississippi contained in one state. A home to nature lovers looking for a secluded getaway. There a so many activities to keep you busy year round ranging from fishing, hunting, camping, white water rafting, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, exploring, skiing, snowmobiling, golfing, sailing, photography, viewing wildlife or just taking in the natural beauty of the region.
This camp is the perfect place for our two boys to spend their summer. During the day we fish, swim, take drives to go moose hunting or the camps are also within 20 miles of the quaint town of Greenville, Maine which has many restaurants, shops and a local hospital. The boys love the vintage candy store and getting ice-cream.
At night we love to cook so we bbq outside, sit on the dock and fish or read a good book by the fire.

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!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2023
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 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.
