Lakefront, dog-friendly home with firepit & Moosehead/Mt. Kineo views

A stunning scene of Moosehead Lake awaits at this charming, lakefront home in Rockwood, gorgeously situated with views of Mt. Kineo from sunrise to sunset. This is Maine living at its most classic and comfortable, from the window-lined sun porch overlooking the lake to the firepit at the water's edge.

This two-story home sits in the outskirts of small-town Rockwood on the western shore of Moosehead Lake. The waterfront area of the property - including the firepit - is shared with a separate, private studio over the garage (which can be rented as well). You'll be less than five miles from the Kineo Shuttle in town, and a scenic trip across the water from Mt. Kineo State Park and the famous Mt. Kineo Golf Course.

Begin each summer morning with a sunrise view of the lake and a mug of coffee enjoyed in a rocking chair on the sun porch. The rest of the day is for swimming and fishing, using the gas grill to barbecue on the front porch, and telling stories around the lakefront firepit as your kids play tag on the lawn.

Natural wood adorns almost every interior surface, giving the house a wonderful feeling of warmth. Yet you'll also be treated to a host of modern comforts, including high-speed WiFi, smart TVs in the living room and primary bedroom, and an elegant, open kitchen (with stainless steel appliances) overlooking the lake. There's even a desk workspace in the primary bedroom, a guest room and an attic room that are ideal for kids, and a washer/dryer for your laundry needs.

The location and house were perfect for us. We were looking for remote and private with lake access. This delivered. The house was well appointed and very comfortable. The lake was great for swimming. This is on our list for next summer! As with a previous review, the lock code did not work so we had to use a key.

Great vac
We throughly enjoyed the house. It was well equipped and loved the porch. The master bed was great! The lock on the door does not work and we had to use a key. The mosquitos were awful there but not at other places we visited. Wonder if there is a breeding ground for them close by and they need to spray. They limited our time outside even during the day.
