Expensive for what it is, terrible host communication.
Don't get me wrong this is a nice place; and I'd feel blessed to own it myself. However, after staying at Moosehead Lake waterfront rentals for the past decade, it's overpriced for what it is and the customer service was atrocious. It's managed by Vacasa, which means when you ask questions, you get a response from someone at a call center who has no local knowledge of the property besides reading the same listing you already have access to. They have never been to the property or the Moosehead Lake area. The good - well kept up, has boat launch, dock you can tie a boat to, waterfront location, kitchen is well stocked, bathroom comfortable to shower in, king bed nice and roomy, and it was nice and quiet. Room for improvement - Inside of cabin much smaller than photos, outside area much smaller than photos make it look (and there is a boathouse that eats up most of the view and the small viewshed has 2 boats moored right in front of it), the dock is too small to hang out on and in need of repair (wood sticking out of sides, so needed large bumpers to tie boat there safely), and the furniture was uncomfortable (wicker on covered porch and saggy couch inside). So, all things considered, I would not recommend it for the cost. Overpriced.

Amazing lake front cottage getaway on Moosehead Lake!
My wife and I are very busy people. We were looking for a place where we could wake-up and unwind everyday with lake views and that cottage feel. This place fit the bill! If you're looking for the most current, updated cottage on Moosehead lake, this isn't it. But if you are looking for a beautiful, clean cottage with breathtaking views and direct lake access & dock and authentic cottage feel......this IS it! We brought our small 17-foot boat so we could view the lake up close and do some fishing. Again, this place worked great. And they also had a nice small fire pit in the back yard down by the dock where we could relax and unwind with a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the water. Can't think of a single complaint. We had one issue where we lost something and the response time by the Vacasa team was immediate. Stay at this cottage. You won't be dissappointed!

Had a wonderful week!
Beautiful little slice of heaven. The house was probably the best stocked of essentials that we've stayed at over the years. The lake view from the master bedroom is breathtaking. We brought our boat so was very convenient to have a boat launch on the property and even with the ice damage to the dock it was easy to tie up our boat there. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful plus were good to watch to keep up with lake weather. The sunsets here are phenomenal, I couldn't take enough pictures of them. If I were to say one negative thing I would say the bugs (outside) but that has more to do with our timing of the things being born than anything. Would definitely go back again and recommend it to friends and family

Beautiful location
We normally camp Lily Bay every summer, but decided to get a camp this year. This camp was perfect. Well stocked with plenty of room for 5 people. Beautiful sunsets and very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Small sandy beach that gets rocky about 4 feet into water. I'd suggest water shoes if you plan on swimming. Master bedroom has an amazing view of the lake!

Fishing Trip
We had a great stay at Split Rock Cottage. The camp was clean and well stocked. We came to fish for several days and having your own private boat launch was a huge plus.

Great view
Great view. Cozy cottage. I don’t know if it’s because of the location of the cottage on the lake, but the wind was ridiculous! I didn’t sleep for 3 nights because I thought we were going to end up in Oz! The bathroom was spotless...so glad to see that. Despite the wind, we had a nice time.

Great location and wonderful cabin!
After the first night things were great! We discovered that the bedroom heat was turned off at the breaker and the living room TV never worked with the satellite, but others worked so we were fine. The cabin is well tended and provisioned and you cant’t beat a sunset over the lake from the deck everyday!

No dish washer, wifi or washer and dryer as advertised. Probably the season but many biting bugs. Several nice bass off of the dock as well as trout perch and large winter fish. Saw moose up the street. Very quiet. Beautiful sunsets

The perfect lake cabin!
We loved our stay at the Split Rock Cottage! It had everything you could want in a cabin on the lake. Beautiful location not too far from Greenville and super close to Lily Bay State Park. We even managed to hike Mt. Kineo during our stay, and it was an easy drive to the ferry shuttle. The cabin has all the amenities you could want: firepit, dock, full kitchen, great indoor and outdoor gathering spaces for food and games. Would highly recommend!

Lily bay camp
We were very happy with the camp. Loved having the boat ramp for our small boats. Sleeping upstairs was hard for adults. We may bring cots and sleep in the front room next time. I would say the BIG issue is the soffit corners on the deck and the boat house by the dock. They are too low and we hit our head a few times. Those corners need to be removed and reconstructed to allow people to walk under them.
