The Poet's Lodge Cabin is not fancy, but it is comfortable and in a great location being right on mooselookmeguntic lake. The screened in porch facing the lake is a very nice bonus. Sunsets can be easily seen from the back porch. There is quick access to the Oquossoc Grocery and Bald Mountain. While the cabin has no internet, we found we did not need it anyway. It forced us to really disconnect.

Poets Lodge June 8, 2022
Thanks to everyone at Morton & Furbish Vacation Rentals for helping set up our stay at the cabin. Their information updates made the entire process easy and seamless. The cabin itself was very nice with nonstop views of the lake from the screened-in porch. Our only real issue was the out-of-date boxsprings and mattresses in all of the bedrooms. As an older group of guys, we're looking for beds that aren't older than we are. Amazing place to spend some time and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks - Charlie

Lovely stay on Mooselook
We really loved our week in the Poet's Lodge and are considering staying again in the future. It felt like staying in an old Maine camp. The post and beam construction was on full display. The place is clearly old, but well-maintained and everything was in working order. The old GE electric stove was retro! If you want and Rangeley lake camp experience, to be ensconced in nature, quiet neighbors, amazing sunsets, walk to Bald Mountain Camp for dinner and drinks, across the street from Bald Mountain Trailhead, this is for you. We sat on the screened-in porch and watched the kids swim until the sun went down. We basically lived outside- meals on the porch, coffee by the campfire. If you want a chef's kitchen, this rental is not for you. If you need top of the line, brand new everything, look elsewhere. But we love to the old-time feel and the setting. Loved: sandy beach, right on the water, screened in porch, picnic tables, spacious bedrooms, satellite TV, 1.5 baths, quiet neighbors, views, sunsets, campfire pit, lots of windows to catch the lake breeze, cleanliness. Would have preferred: better equipped kitchen, knives were all pretty dull, non-stick frying pans were destroyed (finish totally gone), limited large pot for pasta. Definitely need more pots and pans. OK with galley kitchen, mothball smell in the bathrooms (we just opened the windows), cell reception. (I was prepared for no cell reception, but both AT&T and Verizon devices were able to get 2 bars of LTE most of the time which allowed checking email, social media and making calls.

Wonderful Property which could benefit from a "Refresh"
This is great cabin in a perfect location and within walking distance to BMC. Upon arrival we found the property to be very clean. The extra half bathroom is a great addition. The folks at Morton and Furbish were incredibly kind and immediately responded to all our requests. With that said, the property would really benefit for some updating, including the replacement of the porch screening, the box springs mattresses (all very old), some painting and the replacement of the wallpaper in the primary bathroom which is showing signs of deterioration and what appears to be a small area of mold. The Kitchen needs new pots and pans with sufficient silverware to accommodate eight guests. The addition of lawn chairs also be would be huge plus. Despite all of these concerns, we would highly recommend this property to others.

Great location
Big yard for kids to play. Sandy beach and a wonderful Porch to enjoy the lake. I enjoyed the fire pit down by the lake as well. What it needs is comfortable beds and porch furniture. The. It would have 5 plus starts.

Great stay
Didn't realize (could be our own fault) there is one bedroom out of the cabin. Kinda takes the everyone together thing away. Just a few things were unavailable; large bowls and serving spoons. Dining room table seats only about 5. So we brought in the picnic table for all of us to eat together. We had a blast and made do, not looking for perfection....just fun time together!

Wonderful Lakefront Cottage
We have stayed at Poet's Lodge for two years now. The cottage itself is a little bit shabby, but you can't beat the lakefront!! The screened porch is fantastic for relaxing, dining, enjoying the view and listening to the loons. We will be back!

Spectacular Spot
This place is in an absolutely beautiful spot, sloping lawn, sandy beach, crystal clear lake and stunning sunset views over the mountain every evening. Having Bald Mountain right across the street made for an easy access to hiking also. The camp itself is definitely "a camp" with slightly funky beds, a smattering of odd dishes, pans and plates (Could have used a large pot (the one there was old and rusty and a large bowl for mixing salads, etc), but I like that amusing, ecclectic feel. The very old stove was a hoot. I had never seen one like it, but it worked! Having two bathrooms was fantastic! Having a washer and dryer on site was nice although we never used it. Plan for bringing plenty of camp chairs as they only supplied a few for the porch and around the outdoor fireplace and one was broken. Would prefer a fire pit as the outdoor fireplace blew smoke back at you, and it was difficult for all 8 of us to sit around. We also brought our own small gas grill as they only had a charcoal grill. All in all would rent again, just making sure we planned for a few of the short comings. The perfect outdoor area was really where this camp shined!

It's true what they say...
It's true what they say about "Location , location , location " , and this cabin rental has it in spades ! The scenery to the western horizon is spectacular , especially at sunset. Couple that with an expansive, well kept lawn and a sandy beach out front and this location is what dreams are made of. The cabin has an oversize , screened in front porch with ample room for many ...plus , the picnic table already placed inside it makes this porch ready for family and friends.

Great Spot But Dated Property
The spot on the lake is amazing with a nice lawn and wonderful sandy beach area and nice dock. The fire pit is very nice near the water but we were disappointed to learn that the owner no longer supplies firewood for renters and we had to purchase our own. Luckily Morton & Furbish was amazing to work with and helped us arrange that for our visit. The house itself is dated and really should come with better kitchenware (eg. plates, bowls, silverware, utensils, pots/pans, etc.) for renters to use. They are all very old and frankly inadequate for a week long rental. The stove is very old but we got by with a camping stove that we used on the picnic table in the screened in porch. The beds are very old and not very comfortable so just be prepared. All that said, the sunsets from the front porch and firepit area are absolutely stunning. I just wish the owner would invest a bit more into the property to make it a more pleasant and comfortable stay for renters given how amazing the location of the house is.

We love the the unit due to it's location and size and use it a base for our annual fishing trip to the area. the one negative is are the cooking utensils which could be upgraded a bit since we like to do a lot of own cooking. they are all pretty old. i would also point out that there seems to a resident in the back walls somewhere who was quite active this trip. should consider a trap of some sort. never saw what it was but was quite noisy at some times. overall a very good stay and would do it again.

Our third year at the cabin - perfect location on Mooselookmeguntic Lake, the cabin is cozy and has everything you need. There is a large yard with plenty of room to play and a sandy beach as well as a canoe. Beth, Melinda and Sara from Morton & Furbish are wonderful - they are so personable and accommodating. A perfect vacation all around!

Poet's Lodge - peaceful place to vacation
We just returned from a week's stay at Poet's Lodge. We plan to rent again next summer. The camp was reasonably appointed but future renters take note that there is not internet connection (not so terrible!) and you'll want to bring your own beach towels. The shower has great water pressure and it was nice to have laundry in the basement. The kitchen does need new sets of glasses, etc., but we improvised and used paper products.
