About this property
Charming riverfront home with mountain views & private dock
Moose River Lookout is more than a vacation rental—it's a true Maine family home, passed down through generations.
Originally purchased in 1972 and lovingly cared for ever since, this home has long been a place where family gathers—where summers are spent on the water, winters by the fire, and time slows down just enough to reconnect. That sense of tradition and togetherness is something you feel the moment you arrive—and something we're proud to share with our guests.
Set along the Moose River in Rockwood, the home offers a relaxed, welcoming base for your time in the Moosehead Lake region. Start your mornings on the deck, spend your days exploring the water or nearby trails, and wind down in the evenings with dinner on the grill and the quiet of the woods around you. With a private dock and easy access to Moosehead Lake just a half-mile away by water, it's an ideal setting for boating, fishing, and lakeside living.
In every season, there's something waiting just outside your door—whether it's hiking, ATV and snowmobile trail access, or simply settling into the rhythm of Maine.

Great stay
Beautiful house with plenty of area outside to have yard games or enjoy a drink on the back deck. Would recommend for a family outing or a group friends as we were.
The property was just the right size for six adults with plenty of space for relaxing both inside and out. It was also ideally situated allowing us to see as much as possible on the east and west sides of the Moosehead Lake area during our two day visit. We will definitely be back!
Our group of 6 travel to the area every year for a snowmobile trip. The location can’t be beat! ITS 66 is literally in the back yard, and the home is just minutes by sled from food, fuel, and a sled repair shop. The property manager was easy to reach by text, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay perfect.
Well supplied with towels, extra blankets, pillows. Like new interior, lovely gardens. Dock views of sunset and Kineo. Worked out well for our adult family group. Would stay again if available for our yearly trek.
Spacious, clean, close to Kineo. Large bedrooms and very nice large bathrooms. Dangerous set of lower stairs that one of our guests had a lot of problems with. Overall a clean place to stay with easy access to Rockwood, Greenville etc.
Had a group of 7 guys stay for a week of fishing on Moosehead Lake. Beautiful, clean, well provisioned modern house. This is a serious step up from the fishing camps we usually stay at. And when we realized the gas grill didn’t have a tank, they had one delivered within a couple hours. Incredible service!!

We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We passed your comments along to our local manager to review and we appreciate guests’ preferences as a means to continually improve. We look forward to hosting your next stay!
Lovely rental, newly renovated. Leak in 2 bedrooms but managed with bowls to collect drips and towels. Difficulty with internet TV not being optional. Would prefer cable or dish. Great for snowmobiling as trail right out the back. Parking great. Great view of Moose River. Would definitely stay there again.
We stayed for 8 days, the house is comfortable and we enjoyed the stay. 3 Suggestions - Dishwasher did not work, did not have power. More towels for drying dishes would be helpful. Bed in downstairs bedroom is pretty worn out, would be good to consider replacing. Other than that it is warm, well lit and clean.

Searching for Bullwinkle
The property had ceiling fans in lieu of central air. Kitchen and house was open. Had deer wander into the back yard at night. Crowd and a family of ducks also paid us a visit. We caught a couple of trout from the dock. Wish we had more than 1 day to explore, but we did wake up at 4:00 AM to travel to the bogs on the other side of the lake near Kokadjo to see a moose. We met Nullwinkle there
