About this property
Waterfront cabin w/ outdoor firepit, dock, and lake views - dogs welcome
Hidden among the trees in the Moosehead Lake area, Owl's Nest offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful lake views and the kind of privacy that makes it easy to unwind. This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is designed for guests who want to slow down, breathe in the fresh Maine air, and enjoy a quiet escape close to Greenville's best outdoor adventures.
Inside, the home feels warm and welcoming, with a comfortable living room, a private entrance, and plenty of space for families or groups of up to 8 guests. The layout includes a queen bedroom, a second bedroom with a bunk bed, and another queen bedroom, creating flexible sleeping arrangements for adults and kids alike. Guests frequently mention how comfortable and well-kept the home feels, along with the thoughtful touches that make it easy to settle in right away.
The kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed home-cooked meals. A dining area makes it simple to gather for breakfast before a day on the lake or dinner after exploring the region. The living spaces are also set up for easy downtime, with TV, internet, board games, and laptop-friendly features for remote work or planning your next outing.
Step outside and enjoy the natural setting, where a garden, backyard space, outdoor seating, grill, decked area, fire pit, and beach access help you make the most of every season. Guests appreciated the serene wooded surroundings, and the lakefront location adds to the sense of escape. From kayaking, fishing, and boating in warmer months to skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in winter, this location puts you close to year-round adventure.
Located right on Lower Wilson Pond, this home gives you the perfect launching point for all kinds of water activities. You can boat, swim, fish, or simply sunbathe in the summer sun. A brief three-and-a-half-mile drive west will take you to downtown Greenville. Here you will find conveniences such as restaurants and shops as well as attractions like the Moosehead Marine Museum and the Greenville Seaplane Base.
THINGS TO KNOW: - Air Conditioning: Please note that the home does not have AC. - Outdoor Firepit: Firewood is not provided, so you will need to bring your own if you plan to use the firepit. - Dock Access: The dock is suitable for a small fishing boat. However, please be aware that the water depth is shallow, especially at certain times of the year.

The cabin is clean, comfortable, and in a great setting! We love sitting on the deck or porch in the mornings with our coffee. We've been back too many times to count!

Peaceful and majestic
We had a great experience! My kids loved the lake, paddleboarding, and atv riding. Coming back to such a relaxing and beautiful home on the lake after a day of activities was awesome:) We bqq'd, had bonfires, and played cards. Lovely and peaceful place, would definitely return.

Serenity at its finest.
This house had well maintained and easy access to Wilson Pond. We very much enjoyed the quiet and listening to the loons. Loved the view of the pond from the house. Kitchen amenities were more than sufficient, and we were close enough to town if we needed something but far enough away to feel that we were way out in the wilderness. We can't wait to stay here again! Best house we've stayed in in Moosehead Lake region yet .
This is our third year in a row staying here. 2 teens and 2 dogs. We all love it. I do wish there was a dishwasher so I could sterilize the dishes that are there. But instead, I just bring my own dishes- but that is my only complaint)
I recommend renting a canoe from Wild Ones rental . We took the canoe out at sunrise and got an amazing view of the sun over the mountains. We got an amazing photo
We were all pleasantly surprised by the house and the location. The house was so amazing from the location to the water access so perfect. We were thrilled that the house was hidden from the rest of the world, although we had neighbors you would never know it. There was no better place to have your morning coffee than the deck or the dock just perfect. We went to dinner a few times and was thrilled all three times. We went to The Dockside, which is a must. The manager Billy was an amazing person who set out to make sure our meals and drinks were perfect and that he did 100%. We went to Kelly's Landing which was a great place just for the views. We also went to the Stress Free Moose which was great and the staff was amazing. Our trip was more than perfect we had the best time, hope to return next year.
Very easy to check in
Seemed to have everything we needed

a gem in the wild
The home was the perfect base for exploring this beautiful area. We loved the dock, the crystal clear water, the loons, and the stars at night. It is remote so if you want a place close to town this is not for you, but we loved it!

Quiet retreat
Such a wonderful week . Comfortable home and clean . Pond is refreshing and clear . I definitely want to come back
We spent a very relaxing 5 days and 4 nights at the cabin with family. Communication related to our stay was great and the check in process was smooth. The camp itself had all the necessary amenities. The dock was perfect for our boat and the fishing was fun for the kids even though it was slow. We enjoyed time by the fire pit toasting s’mores and swimming in the pristine pond. Lot’s of memories made and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back to do it again.

Quiet get away
Place was clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Beautiful views and very quiet. It isn’t the best for swimming because of the rocks-but the water was very clear and we went in anyway. I do wish we had a canoe or kayak, but we all really enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to anyone. My teenage daughters didn’t want to leave!

Fun Week
This is the second time we rented this house and loved it both times. You are 12 minutes from town, about 30 to really good hikes. Fishing is great everywhere. Love the lake access. House is designed great if you have dogs- metal screen over siding door screens and rubber grips on stairs. The staff was ver accommodating and quick to respond when i left an item in the house after chevkout. They helped me get my item quickly before new renters came. Highly
recommend.

The home is cozy and spacious. Fishing from the dock with our kids was so fun! It was our first Vacasa rental, and first vacation staying with extended family. Inspired us to make more efforts like this. We would definitely return to The Owl’s Nest. Thank you!

Wonderful
On top of the great location, the place was very well kept and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay from a few simple spices in the cabinet to fire wood in the yard. Wonderful place, if you're not used to maine, try not to let the roads discourage you. Feel free to ask Vacasa or the caretaker for help navigating since gps doesn't show all the roads in the region. Once you arive though you may not want leave even to go home!
