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,
