Once described by Henry David Thoreau as being “like a gleaming silver platter at the end of the table,” Moosehead Lake in west-central Maine is New England’s largest lake, yet it’s still a quiet treasure. Tucked among the Longfellow Mountains in the Maine Highlands, the lake is already at an elevation of 1,023 feet, surrounded in part by the 700-foot cliffs of Mount Kineo. Given its remote location and its 400-plus miles of shoreline, the lake is a serene getaway that can often seem more populated by moose than people. Looking to escape to these peaceful shores? Below, we’ve compiled some of our favorite rustic Moosehead Lake cabins available for rent.
