This is the second summer that we have stayed here. It is perfect for us as we have family living near by. The cottage is very clean, and exceptionally well stocked! The beds are comfortable and there is an excellent supply of fresh bedding and linen. The property manager is very responsive and helpful.

Loved the cottage and location! Property was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed for a very relaxing beautiful stay! Not on the water but extremely close walking distance to path to get to the water and beautiful lake! We rented a canoe close by and were able to put the canoe in the lake easily and paddle around the very quiet and peaceful lake and enjoyed the views! The property manager Tara was excellent and made sure we had everything. Also close to store/market Indian Hill Trading Post to get anything you needed. I highly recommend!

Great cabin with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We came after a snow storm and the walkway and parking lot was cleared. A short walk to the beach provided the best view of the eclipse.

Perfect cabin for families

This was our second stay at this cabin and once again it was perfect. Everything is exactly as listed. It’s clean, cozy, and located just a short distance from the public access to the lake. Even my teenagers love it and they are hard to impress. We will definitely be back again.

Relaxing at Moosehead

Nice area to just rest and relax after several stressful months of work. The cottage has everything you need and is close to plenty of hiking, fishing, kayaking and swimming. Special shout out to Northwoods Outfitters for their assist with new kayak racks after mine broke on the trip up.

Relaxation Time

The Benson Cottage is a great place to kick back and enjoy some quiet time. It's close enough to town if you want to check out the shops and get some dinner, but far enough away to still enjoy the Northwoods of Maine. I will definitely be back

We should have booked a second week!

Nice location; close enough to town yet far enough away to be quiet. Felt very comfortable and very at-home at Benson Cottage - a great place to unwind and enjoy what Nature and the Moosehead Lake region have to offer. Our host, Tara, was friendly, easy to communicate with and kept the cottage well-stocked and clean. We wanted for nothing. I sure hope we can come back before too long!

Very nice time at Moose Head Lake!

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Beds were comfy, very well stocked with every day needs, so if you forget something, it's probably at the cottage. House was clean and welcoming because Tara did such a nice job. But it does need to be updated, considering the wear and tear it has withstood, and the landscape better taken care of, then it would be well worth the cost.

Second stay, another great week

Was another good stay for our second year at this cabin. I’ve been coming up to Hartford’s Point on Moosehead Lake since I was a kid with my family and still have family who owns another cabin on the lake. It’s my absolute favorite place to vacation. This cabin is great for me, the wife, kids and both dogs. While I love not having Wi-Fi, and minimal cell service, others may not, so be aware. There is a landline for emergencies. Unfortunately, there is an order of mildew in bedroom on right. Property manager already knows about, but worth a mention since it was a concern about the kids sleeping in there with door closed. Plan is to book for next year again, but wife is concerned about this so hopefully they can figure something out. PM says it was a wet beginning to summer and they are thinking about changing out carpet to another type of flooring to solve the issue. Other than that, this cabin is perfect. Fire pit with dog leash attached to a wire for a small dog run, full kitchen with appliances, gas grill, and more. Beds are clean and comfortable. Washer and dryer are great to have, especially with wet towels from the lake. Plenty of parking on a circular driveway. Tara, the property manager is terrific, responsive and appreciative of our business. Been working with her for two years now and always nice and easy to work with. If you’re staying in the area, this is your spot, but not when I’m there next year again!! 😁

No Wi-Fi!! Wasn’t working and no one came to fix until we were leaving (weekend).The host was informative and helpful. Kitchen well stocked and furniture was somewhat comfortable. The location was good for getting around the area and close to town. There wasn’t any view from or much light coming into the cottage so it felt quite dark. The bed was a bit soft but linens were clean throughout. The rating of 3 comes from overall lack of cleanliness of the cottage. It needs a deep cleaning. Wash machine looked too dirty to wash clothes in. The overall cottage was very dated. The 12” TV in the BR was a joke. The LR TV was small.
