Experience the splendor of the Maine Highlands at this Moosehead Lake retreat, a hand-crafted lakefront cabin with a private swimming dock, two kayaks to take out on the water, and an outdoor firepit and deck with views of the distant mountains and surrounding woodlands!
What's nearby: Tucked away in the trees on the Burnt Jacket Peninsula just 25 feet from the lake's edge, this home was constructed by local craftsman using solid pine logs in the traditional way. You'll be in the midst of 12 acres of woods, trails, and shorelines, and hundreds of acres of neighboring backcountry for hiking and snowshoeing. The cabin is also just nine miles south of Lily Bay State Park and 11 miles north of downtown Greenville (which is also reachable by boat).
Things to know: Free WiFi Full kitchen with a small fridge, oven, and stove The dock is for swimming only, not for mooring a boat Docks and kayaks available, weather and lake conditions permitting, June through September A dirt road leads to the cabin, so a 4x4 that can handle wear and tear is best *Winter Guests: Please note that a 4 wheel drive vehicle is required for winter, the road only gets plowed after five inches of snow and the driveway can only fit a two place trailer and one vehicle. A damage waiver, covering up to $2,000 of accidental damage to the property or its contents, is included in the cost of your reservation.

We needed to unwind and needed to hear loons and watch the water and hear the wind in the pines. But we wanted a beautiful kitchen - big windows - and WiFi. This is the perfect cabin to get away from the stress but not the amenities of every day life. We loved our time here.

I’ve been coming up here for 33 years and this was by far the best spot of them all. I couldn’t get the WiFi working, but I don’t come up here to stare at a screen. We will be back soon!!! Thank you for an amazing home!!!

What a fantastic property. Beautiful and clean cabin. The photos looked great but in person it’s amazing. Great access to the water and we got full use out of the kayaks. One of the most peaceful places I’ve visited. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!!

The cabin was well decorated, clean and comfortable. It was great having access to the kayaks, dock and fire pit. Added bonus were the sunsets from the deck. We will be back!!

This cabin is the best. After 3 nights we ended up extending our trip for a couple more nights. Right on the lake we were able to ice fish and warm up back inside the cabin. We definitely plan to rent again.

When I opened the door all I could say was “wow”! The decor is so well done. I loved the type of construction used in this log cabin. Very classy. I like rustic too but this was a nice departure with the art and lighting, troth sink, vintage look range, beautiful furniture. I don’t usually cook when I stay at vacation rentals but I loved this kitchen so much I went back into town to buy ingredients so I could. Put on tunes and really enjoyed the experience. The view is gorgeous. I loved the dirt roads coming in to Shepherds Cabin. Reminded me of childhood camping/fishing trips. A tranquil, relaxing stay.

The cabin was beautifully appointed! It was cozy , had great beds, shower and heat! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook with. Loved the kayaks to use and the view and sunsets on the lake were spectacular! Hoping to come back again to visit

Nice, very clean and modern cabin with perfect view and access to Moosehead. Nice decor and wood stove. The satellite didn’t work and the internet cut in and out every 15 minutes, but did just fine without it. Good cellphone reception.
Manager response:
We will ensure all advertised amenities are working. Thank you!
