Greenville is the located on the southern tip of Maine’s Largest Lake and is the gateway to the Moosehead Lake Region.  With a population of about 1600 year-round residents,  Greenville is a quaint town with many local and original retail shops, a hospital, banks, post offices, school, lots of full-service restaurants, gas stations, two grocery stores, and much more!  However, the closest Wal-Mart is over an hour drive away, and you won’t find a McDonald’s here anymore!  Other locations are given in relation to Greenville.

Sandy Bay is located about 4 miles north of Greenville on the eastern shore of Moosehead Lake.  This means that most of these properties face west and will enjoy gorgeous sunsets!  Most of these properties are also waterfront, but some don’t have their own private waterfront access (individual web pages will specify).  For the rentals with association waterfront, there is a grassy association beach area with a sandy bottom, outdoor fire pit, picnic table, and beautiful birch trees.  This is a nice quiet area with dirt roads, a great place to go for a walk, ride a bike, or simply relax!

Beaver Cove is a very popular vacation spot!  It is also located on the eastern shore of Moosehead Lake and is about a 10-minute drive from Greenville.  Beaver Cove also has many of the same features as Sandy Bay, including rentals with western exposure, quiet neighborhoods, and dirt roads.  A nice feature about the Beaver Cove rental properties is that Beaver Cove Marina is within 5 minutes of most homes!  There is also access to a sandy association beach depending on which properties you rent.  This beach has an outdoor fire pit, picnic table and a small playground.

Lily Bay is also located on the eastern shore of Moosehead Lake, it is about a 15-20 minute drive north of Greenville.  Lily Bay is well-known for Lily Bay State Park.  This state park has been here for over 40 years and is situated on 925 acres of unspoiled wilderness and waters.  With access to the Lily Bay State Park, visitors can enjoy swimming at a beautiful sandy beach with spectacular views, a boat launch, horseshoes, and a playground. 

Harford’s Point is located only a few miles outside of Greenville, or about 5-10 minute drive up the western shore of Moosehead Lake.  This is an association similar to Beaver Cove and Sandy Bay, but just on the opposite shoreline.  This area has some beautiful homes and cottages available for rent and located close to a ski resort offering scenic chair lift rides.  Continue along the eastern shore and watch for moose on a drive to Rockwood and beautiful Mt. Kineo.

Lamb’s Cove is a private, secluded cove located 17 miles north of Greenville on the western shore of Moosehead Lake.   Sand Bar Point wraps around the cove keeping it well-protected.  Check out the single property that we have in this formerly “gated community.”  It is the perfect getaway for a couple looking for relaxation!      

Rockwood may be seen on the map about half-way up on Moosehead Lake on the western shore, where the waters taper before opening back up to enter the northern end of Moosehead Lake.  Perhaps one of the most scenic spots in this whole region is Mt. Kineo.  No, it is not an island as many locals will say, but it is only accessible via boat or ferry shuttle.  Mt. Kineo is rich in history and heritage and is a great place for a day trip!  Play a round of golf, hike to the top, or take a dip in the refreshing waters at the gorgeous pebble beach in the shadows of the 700 ft rock cliffs.  Regardless of where you stay, you will want to come and see Mt. Kineo via car, boat, or seaplane!        

Prong Pond is located about 10-15 minutes away from Greenville, in the same vicinity of Beaver Cove, to the east of Moosehead Lake.  This quiet pond is great for canoes/kayaks.  With a 9-mile circumference and a boat launch area, it can also accommodate small fishing boats, but is too shallow for larger motor boats.  Also, since it is stocked with trout, smallmouth bass and white perch, this is a great place for fishing!  It is also a great place to explore and watch wildlife!

First Roach Pond is located on the outskirts of a town called Kokadjo (Ko-KAD-jo) with a population, “Not Many!”  This 8 mile long, 128 foot deep pond is also great for fishing and the area is heavily populated with wildlife, especially moose.  First Roach Pond has brook trout, landlocked salmon and togue.  Be careful on the 25-minute drive from Greenville, because you never know when you are going to see a moose on the side of the road!  This area is also very popular in the wintertime for snowmobiles! 

Lower Wilson Pond is about 5-10 minutes east of Greenville and is a 7-mile long body of water, with depths reaching 100-feet.  It is great for swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and all other water activities enjoyed on a lake.  Also, enjoy peace and quiet and views of Elephant Mountain.  In fact, we recommend a trip to Elephant Mountain to check out the B-52 crash site in 1963.

Lake Hebron is located 12 miles south of Greenville in Monson, which all visitors pass through on the trip to the Maine "North Woods."  Lake Hebron is about 4 miles long, peaceful and serene.  A great location for all outdoor enthusiasts, but hikers especially!  Located just off the Appalachian Trail, vacationers to this area can enjoy easy access to the AT!

Big Wilson Stream is located in Elliotsville, about 10 minutes east of Monson and Lake Hebron, and 20 minutes south of Greenville.  Our new rental property located on Big Wilson Stream is in a truly unique location with the waterfalls and the soothing sound of moving water.  Many days are well-spent soaking up the sun’s rays along the river, and at night looking at the stars by a campfire.  Big Wilson Stream is located in the perfect area for outdoor enthusiasts. 

Sawyer Pond has one of the most beautiful homes that we have to offer!  It is a 70-acre pond, near Lower Wilson Pond, just a few miles east of Greenville.  We have two of the three homes on the pond available for rent.  Needless to say this is a quiet location with lots of privacy and a fun place to canoe, kayak, fish (worms only!), and get some rest and relaxation. 

Thank-you for browsing our rental properties! However, if you find that you would prefer a cottage on the ocean over a cabin on a lake, we would highly recommend the following vacation rental companies. We have personally seen their first-rate operations and whole-heartedly endorse their accommodations, www.maine-vacationrentals.com.
