Moosehead Lake Vacation Rentals
Yes — PineTreeStays has four vacation rentals in the Moosehead Lake region: a sleeps-16 lakefront lodge, a hot tub house on the water, and two hand-built cabins in downtown Greenville. Every one welcomes pets and books direct at PineTreeStays.com with $0 in booking fees.
Lake overview
Moosehead Lake is the largest lake in Maine, an island-studded stretch of clear water ringed by vast forested wilderness and some of the finest moose watching in the country. The town of Greenville sits at its southern tip — the gateway to the region, with restaurants, outfitters, and shops minutes from every PineTreeStays rental.
In summer the lake is all swimming, boating, kayaking, and fishing. Fall brings foliage and the International Seaplane Fly-In. Winter turns the region into one of New England's best snowmobiling destinations, with ice fishing, skiing, and the annual Snowfest celebration. Historic scenic cruises aboard the steamship Katahdin depart from the lake in season, and whitewater rafting runs on nearby rivers.

Seasons on Moosehead Lake
Summer. Swimming off private docks, kayaking and canoeing the island-studded shoreline, boating, and fishing for landlocked salmon and lake trout. Long lake days end with sunsets over the water.
Fall. Peak foliage across the forested shoreline, crisp hiking weather, the International Seaplane Fly-In, and quiet lakes — a favorite season for couples and photographers.
Winter. Snowmobile directly from the door — the Lily Bay Chalet's insulated garage stores your sleds, and the Greenville cabins sit across from the trail. Ice fishing on the lake, nearby skiing and snowshoeing, and the hot tub at Beaver Cove House waiting when you come in from the cold.
FAQ
1. Which Moosehead rental is right for my group? Sixteen guests: Lily Bay Chalet. Up to twelve: Beaver Cove House, or book both Greenville cabins together for twelve. Six or fewer: a single cabin. The cabins are the budget-friendly pick; the chalet and Beaver Cove are full lakefront.
2. What's the tradeoff between lakefront and the in-town cabins? Lakefront (chalet, Beaver Cove) means private waterfront, docks, and water views from the house. The Greenville cabins trade the shoreline for downtown walkability and unbeatable trail access — the ATV trail is at the door and the snowmobile trail across the street.
3. What are your pet policies? Every PineTreeStays rental welcomes pets. The fee is $100 per pet per stay at Lily Bay Chalet and Beaver Cove House, and $75 per pet per stay at the two Greenville cabins. Pets must be housebroken and outdoor droppings removed. See our pet-friendly rentals page for full details.
4. Can we ride ATVs and snowmobiles from the rentals? Yes. The Greenville cabins sit directly on the ATV trail with the snowmobile trail across the street, and the Lily Bay Chalet offers insulated garage storage for snowmobiles or ATVs (fee on inquiry). Moosehead is one of New England's top sledding regions.
5. Are the rentals accessible in winter? Yes — Moosehead is a four-season destination and winter is prime snowmobile season. Note that docks are typically pulled from the water for the winter (reinstalled by late May or early June) and outdoor furniture is stored, but private lake access continues year-round.
6. When is the dock in the water? Docks are typically reinstalled by late May or early June, depending on lake water level — standard practice in Maine to prevent ice damage. Summer and fall guests get full dock use; winter guests still enjoy private lake access.
7. Why book direct instead of Airbnb or VRBO? Booking at PineTreeStays.com means $0 in booking fees — guests typically save about 15% compared to Airbnb — and you deal directly with Raf and Jenn, local Mainers and Superhosts since 2012, who know the lake and the trails firsthand. See why book direct for the full breakdown.
8. How do we get there? Greenville is about an hour and a half from Bangor and three hours from Portland. All four rentals are in or minutes from Greenville, with easy driving access year-round.
