Wilsons on Moosehead Lake

"Maybe we got unlucky with our cabin but this place is a dump. The smell inside the cabin was a mixture of mold and death. The kitchen window is completely cracked, the couch is so decrepit and I can't imagine what has transpired on it to make it look so nasty. The carpet has seen much better days and all around its truly not pleasant. We literally could not stay there for the night and went to the motel down the road within 10 minutes. We traveled from Corado specificly for the experience of a cabin on the lake and was epically let down. I wish you could smell the photos so you understood how bad this place smells. Also, these photos actually make this place look decent but I promise its the filter on my phone."

"Wilson's is like paradise on Earth. Neither of us wanted to go home after our stay because it was such a beautiful calm experience! I cannot say enough of how wonderful our time was at Wilson's! I know for sure we will be back year after year. The Cabin: The cabin is rustic, but has everything you could really need. We stayed in Lakeside which had an awesome king sized bed, full kitchen and bath and a big living space and porch. The cabin sits step away from the water and the dock and had a great view of the mountains. The water pressure in the shower was also fantastic. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the fall weather, but we had everything we needed right in the cabin! The Staff: Just so amazing and kind. We felt so welcomed right from the beginning and they were around whenever we needed them. We also became buddies with the barn cat, Dylan. We LOVED him, and he was extremely friendly. But again everyone at Wilson's is so knowledge, kind, and friendly! The Location: Wilson's is located about a half hour away from the main Greenville area, but this honestly made it perfect! It's located on a little cove in the lake so the water was calm, even on a windy day, and it was SO QUIET and peaceful. Wilson's is also located right on the east outlet, so you got to hear the rushing water into the river and we got a great view from the dam!"

"I hate writing this as the owners were very nice but they really need to put some work into the cabins. First the positives, nice owners, and gorgeous location. However, when we checked in we found smelly linens and lots of trash in the sofa bed. Also calling it a sofa bed is a stretch. It’s more comfortable to sleep outside on the ground in a tent. Born and raised in Maine I don’t mind rustic or roughing it but at the price we paid for a week I shouldn’t be grossed out by the conditions of the cabin. The cabin had tons of holes in the exterior allowing for a bat to fly in on one of our last nights. Needless to say we ended our stay early."

"We have been renting various cabins at Wilsons for years and highly recommend planning a vacation here. We have also stayed here at various times of the year. The property and location are equally as spectacular in the Winter as it is in the Summer. The owners are a local family and among the nicest people in the area. And equally as important, they know the area extremely well. No matter what you want kind of outdoor activity you want to do, they will give you great advice on the best way to do it. We also think the people that typically stay at Wilsons are among the friendliest people you will ever meet in the area. However, if you want to do your own thing, in a respectful way, nobody is going to bother you here. As far as we are concerned, nothing else matters. And in our opinion, from having just spent another week here, this kind of authentic Maine experience is getting more and more difficult to find. In other words, plan a vacation here very soon. -B&G from NYC"

"Scott and Alison are the best! We come up every year and it feels like home. I love being so close to the water and the private location provides a calm environment for paddle boarding fishing and kids swimming. Best location on the lake. Everyone is so friendly.there’s a lot to do without even leaving. Hiking, campfires, swimming, fish. We come up from north jersey and if you are looking for true Maine camping. Wilson’s is the place. Can’t wait to come back"
