Lovely cabin in a great quiet setting!
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!

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.

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!

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 .
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!

Beautiful location
The house was nice and in a beautiful spot on Lower Wilson Pond, the dock was nice but if you’re looking for a swimming area the entrance to the water from here was very rocky, (perfectly manageable for our kids who did plenty of swimming 😊)
The house itself offered plenty of space and lots of sleeping accommodations but the downstairs ceilings aren’t completely finished and the downstairs bathroom had some pipes/hoses (I believe carrying water to the upstairs bathroom) that were exposed and occasionally leaked which would make the floor a little wet but it was certainly manageable

2nd trip
This is our second year staying here. We really enjoy it here. This year we rented a canoe from Wilson Cabins (about a 1 1/2 miles down the lake). We just rowed the canoe from Wilson cabins to this house and kept it for a few days before rowing it back. It worked out great.
It is very easy to get a canoe in and out of the water here.
My teenage daughter loved relaxing on the dock.
We did do some swimming- not great swimming for young kids since there are so many rocks- but the teens had fun.
I love that we can bring our dog too.
It is a very quite, peaceful beautiful get away.
We are hoping to be back next year!
