Fishing details/Whitewater Rafting details: A glance at any map reveals a number of bodies of water ranging in size from Moosehead Lake to ponds of only a few acres. Some waters are easily accessed by car while others require some hiking and carrying. Among the popular species are bass, perch, trout, salmon, and togue. If this is your first time fishing in the Moosehead area, we recommend the use of a guide. Basic fishing outfits can be purchased from several stores in town. Be sure that you have a license and an up-to-date fishing regulation book. . . Then if you are up for something with more action - Experience whitewater rafting!!Each year thousands of paddlers challenge the whitewater of the Kennebec, Penobscot and Dead Rivers. With the Moosehead Lake Region situated between these premier whitewater rivers, the area is a perfect spot for the river enthusiast to stay. Outfitters provide you with everything needed for a fun, safe trip.

Hunting Details/ Scenic Flying Experience: The Moosehead Lake region offers many exciting opportunities for hunters of all ages. Our region teems with wildlife and affords hunters a vast amount of terrain in which to spend a few hours, a day or a week. Some popular species of animals to hunt include partridge, rabbit, deer, bear and moose. Each of these has a specific legal hunting season and set of regulations, which can be found at the website for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. If this is your first time to the Moosehead area, we recommend the use of a guide. . . .Since much of the Moosehead Lake shoreline and many sporting camps are not accessible by road, seaplanes get quickly where motor vehicles and boats cannot. Two commercial air services offer sightseeing excursions. A half-hour flight around the lower half of the lake is a good way to appreciate the vastness of both lake and wilderness. Currier's Flying Service or Folsom's Flying Service, both will offer you a scenic flying experience!

Snowmobiling details: You have access to The Moosehead Lake Snowmobile Trail from the front yard of the Loon's Nest cabin. This trail climbs up to lofty overlooks, passes through deep forests, stops at outposts like Kokadjo, Northeast Carry, Seboomook, and Pittston Farm, and Greenville, never too many miles from food and fun.
Five local clubs, town employees and many volunteers keep these trails in great condition. Whether you want to take just a morning or afternoon trip or spend all day on the trails, your choices are many. Pack a lunch and stop at any number of locations with beautiful scenery; or plan to ride to one of the surrounding towns and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at one of the areas restaurants or inns that cater to snowmobilers.
Annual Maine Snowmobile Trail Rides: B-52 Memorial Elephant Mountain Snowmobile Trail Ride and The Ricky Craven Moosehead Lake Region Ice Fishing Snowmobile Trail Ride.

Great place

This house is awesome! Plenty of room, solidly built, perfect central location. Well equipped kitchen, would benefit from appliance upgrade. Beds comfortable, kayaks great with many life jackets. Large yard, quiet neighborhood. Yes, the access to the river is a bit steep but there are stairs and a nice dock. Lisa and Charlie very helpful, rent it you won’t be disappointed

Beautiful home!

We had a wonderful time at Loon's Nest. The house was beautiful and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked, even with many spices and condiments. We enjoyed fishing and moose "hunting." There were deer in the yard when we returned home one night, too. Great place and we would stay again should we return to the area.

Loon's Nest

My friend & I stayed at Loon's Nest in September (a perfect time of year). The house was wonderful with all the amenities you would ever need. I would recommend this home to anyone! It was so convenient having a dock since we brought our boat (which we could launch at the nearby marina). The location was terrific - private, not far from Greenville, restaurants, shopping, etc. We plan on returning to Loon's Nest!

Our second time at the Loon's Nest

Four years ago we stayed at the Loon's Nest and once again we had a wonderful time. The cabin is just far enough out that it is quiet and relaxing by the river. The moose were everywhere, we saw 20 of them. We hiked on several days and spent the nights doing puzzles and playing cards. It rained daily; we hiked in the rain and had a great time. It was so nice to get away and just relax, we grilled out side and even had a small fire to make s'mores. The Loon's Nest is beautifully decorated and a great place to stay.

Perfect Winter Getaway!

Our stay at the Loons Nest couldn't have been better! We just returned from an early March snowmobile trip and you just can't beat the location. The house is located a few hundred feet from Route 66 and also provides easy lake access at the end of the road. The driveway is plenty big for a 4 place trailer and more! Th house is well equiped and the open floor plan makes it a great place for friends to share meals and just hang out. The owners Charlie and Lisa are wonderful hosts and are available anytime if you have questions. As beautiful as it is in the winter I can only imagine how nice it must be in the summer. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay at Moosehead Lake.! You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful home and great piece of property

We had a really great time staying at this log cabin! The house was very clean and it was nice to be a little ways from town. A nice, secluded spot right on the water. The house really had everything you needed to feel comfortable. We cooked all of our meals during our stay and enjoyed the fire pit in the yard for dessert. The house was convenient to the Big and Little Moose Mountain trails, which we loved. Our only complaint is that when we arrived at the property late at night the house was frigidly cold. We had to have the pellet stove cranking out heat all night. In the morning we learned that the hot water was not functioning as well, so we were 36 hours without hot water. Luckily, the owners were able to have a repair man come by and remedy the problem on Saturday morning. Overall, we had a really nice experience.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Sandberg

Host profile image
My name is Lisa Sandberg and I am a nurse at a small community hospital in the emergency room. I recently discovered a hidden talent for painting. We have hung several of my paintings in the mudroom hallway. I would be honored for our guests to choose one to take home as a momento of your stay. Charlie is my husband of 37 years. He is a retired police officer. He also happens to be very good at building things. He built the log cabin in 2001 and in 2007 he built us a new 3500 sq ft home in Connecticut. I am a very lucky lady to be married to such a talented man. Charlie has the gift of gab. No one remains a stranger for long around him.

Why they chose this property

Our next door neighbors here in Connecticut introduced us to Maine about 30 years ago. The 1st couple of years we camped with them at Camp Seboomek. But they got tired of hauling all their equipment every trip so they started looking for a small place to buy. They found a cute little place on the Moose River and we continued to stay with them for several more years.

One day Charlie was looking for a boat to buy, and Mark from the marina told him he had a boat for sale and, oh by the way, he also had a piece of land he would throw in. The time was right, the price was right and so before you know it we owned the boat and 2 acres of land. Charlie sold the boat to pay for the foundation! and the rest is history!
