Shephard's Cabin

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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!

Tucked away in the trees on the Burnt Jacket Peninsula just 25 feet from the lake's edge, this home was constructed by a local craftsman using solid pine logs in the traditional way. The kitchen has a mini-fridge, a full-size stove, and an oven. You'll be amidst 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
The jet pack WiFi is not suitable for remote work or streaming.
The full kitchen does not have a dishwasher.
A dirt road leads to the cabin, so a 4x4 that can handle wear and tear is best.
The lake is not accessible by snowmobile. Guests must trailer from the cabin to a public landing or parking area to access the lake or snowmobile trails.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.

Security camera details: Outside with view of driveway

Dock details: Docks and kayaks are available June through September, weather and lake conditions permitting. The dock is just for swimming or sitting, and not for mooring a boat.



Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.

Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 25 years of age to book. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Perfect family getaway

The property was just perfect for our family of 4. We enjoyed the lake morning, noon & night. IF I had to find something to improve upon it would be the washer/dryer unit. For our active family over 8 days, cleaning towels and clothes was essential. The unit was small and time-consuming. But such a small factor in the big picture. We had a blast and would recommend the property to others without hesitation.

ABSOLUTE PEACE AND BEAUTY

This location was AMAZING. The beauty of the lake out of the windows and French doors was exceptional. The cabin could not have been more welcoming, clean, well appointed or right out of a design magazine. It would be just what we would want to own and would never leave. Will be visiting again and staying longer. Thank you for sharing this wonderful, peaceful, beautiful place with us.

Beautiful and Remote

If you are looking for a place to get away from the rush of everyday life, this is the place. I LOVED the decor of the cabin, pictures don't do it justice. So cute! Be aware, it is a drive from Greenville, about 20 minutes or so. I recommend you get there the first time during daylight. It was dark and rainy when we arrived the first time and we had difficulty finding the place. They had a big storm that day and we literally had to move fallen trees out of the road to get there - thankfully they were light enough we could do it on our own. Bring plenty of groceries because you won't want to leave once you get there.

Great relaxing week

Great stay, beautiful property, bed was uncomfortable and the outside door to master bedroom tough to open. Aside from that perfect vacation experience. Make sure television works before clients come. Our HDMI cord was missing so no tv all week but was credited by Vacasa so we were fine with it but guests with kids might not be. All and all great vacation experience and would do it again

What an amazing place, in a picturesque setting. My first visit to Moosehead Lake, and I think it sets the bar high for vacation rentals. The layout of the cabin was spacious yet still had that cozy feel. I can’t wait to rent it again.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

We just spent 5 days here and it was amazing!!! I am in awe of how beautiful Moosehead and the areas around it are beyond what I imagined. The cabin was wonderful, cozy, peaceful, clean and in a PERFECT location. The views from the property are amazing. We enjoyed the kayaks, sitting out by the lake and soaking it all in. I wish we could have stayed forever!!! I couldn't get over how many trees there are and how massive the lake is. It goes on forever!!!! We enjoyed an afternoon out on the Katahdin looking at endless miles of the Lake and the surrounding Mountains. Memories I will remember for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your amazing cabin with us.

Very cozy cabin

Sheperd's cabin is a very cozy log cabin. The location right on the lake is just incredible. If you are looking for a quiet place this is it. It was very clean and had everything you needed. The washing machine was also a plus. Unfortunately we could not use the kayaks because it was raining and cold. We would stay here again anytime.
