Greenville Junction vacation

Wow! A wonderful place with all the immenities. Great location to go off roading and the lake is beautiful. Our dog loved it . Beds were very comfortable and nice to have satellite TV that got a ton of channels. We will go back as we loved it.

We should have booked a second week!

Nice location; close enough to town yet far enough away to be quiet. Felt very comfortable and very at-home at Benson Cottage - a great place to unwind and enjoy what Nature and the Moosehead Lake region have to offer. Our host, Tara, was friendly, easy to communicate with and kept the cottage well-stocked and clean. We wanted for nothing. I sure hope we can come back before too long!

Perfect cabin for families

This was our second stay at this cabin and once again it was perfect. Everything is exactly as listed. It’s clean, cozy, and located just a short distance from the public access to the lake. Even my teenagers love it and they are hard to impress. We will definitely be back again.

Relaxing at Moosehead

Nice area to just rest and relax after several stressful months of work. The cottage has everything you need and is close to plenty of hiking, fishing, kayaking and swimming. Special shout out to Northwoods Outfitters for their assist with new kayak racks after mine broke on the trip up.

Eclipse viewing trip

Great cabin with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We came after a snow storm and the walkway and parking lot was cleared. A short walk to the beach provided the best view of the eclipse.

Another great stay

As previous years, we really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. This property is well maintained and has everything you need for a simple stay. Still no WiFi and weak cell service which I like, but the family complains they have to actually talk to each other. Still a slight smell of moisture in the second bedroom but manageable since the whole area tends to be wet considering the surroundings. Tara is responsive and attentive when needed.

We enjoyed staying at this cabin in the woods. It was close to downtown Greenville and close the public beach. Cabin was comfortable with nice dishes in the kitchen. Comfortable beds and sheets.

Great cozy Maine cabin.

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. Cabin was super clean, very cozy, excellent condition and the location was fantastic From the point of first booking the cabin until we checked in everything went very smoothly, so convenient. We loved our stay so much we are planning two weeks at this cabin next year.

Relaxation Time

The Benson Cottage is a great place to kick back and enjoy some quiet time. It's close enough to town if you want to check out the shops and get some dinner, but far enough away to still enjoy the Northwoods of Maine. I will definitely be back

Nice location. Very relaxing nice just to bring food everything else is there.

We liked that it was close to Greenville and just a little further to the Rockwood ferry to golf. We love to explore great place for that and to throw a line in to fish. Recommend bringing a canoe we could have rented but ran out of time staying longer next time!! You

Very nice time at Moose Head Lake!

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Beds were comfy, very well stocked with every day needs, so if you forget something, it's probably at the cottage. House was clean and welcoming because Tara did such a nice job. But it does need to be updated, considering the wear and tear it has withstood, and the landscape better taken care of, then it would be well worth the cost.

Fishing Fun

The cottage was very comfortable for me. It would be a nice cottage for two couples. Most importantly, the property manager informed of an issue with the stove before check in and it was determined on Monday morning that it needed to be replaced and was taken care of by Noon Tuesday. With the gas grill I was fine waiting until then. The communication and service by the manager and property owner were exceptional! I'll be back. And by the way, the fishing was great as well!!

Benson Cottage was the perfect place to relax and recharge!

I've stayed in many rentals, Benson Cottage was the best! We (me, my friend and our kids) are from PA and KY, so abilities to bring "stuff" was limited. Tara was great about answering all my questions and providing info ahead of time, which helped to prepare for our trip. The cottage was well stocked with the basics (plush towels, soft sheets, paper products) as well as the little creature comforts often missing from rentals (practical kitchen appliances, complete set of pots, pans, dish towels, cleanibg supplies, spices!). The beds were very comfortable and we woke rested and recharged. Even the shower was great! I can't gush enough about how clean and comfortable the cottage was! Ample parking. Beautiful, peaceful setting, yet close to town and attractions. Hoping to stay here again!
