A larger cabin on a 30-acre pond. The family property of the directory — three generations of one family have run it, and they still show up every fall to stain the dock.
The cabin sits about 60 feet back from the water. There's a dock that gets a coat of stain every two or three years (the family handles it; don't worry about it). A red cedar-strip canoe — a 16-foot Chestnut Prospector reproduction, if that means anything to you — and a pair of paddles live in the boathouse. Life jackets — two adult, two kid, one oversized — are in a labeled bin. A small sailboat (a Laser 2) gets rigged by the owners in June and sits on the beach for guest use; we don't recommend sailing it if you've never sailed before, but if you have, it's there.
Loons live on the pond. They start around 5 a.m. whether you wanted them to or not. Most people decide, by day three, that they did.
Moose Pond is the only cabin in the directory with real electricity — 1.2 kW of panels on the boathouse roof, a 400 Ah battery bank in an insulated box under the porch, a 2 kW inverter. You can run the baseboards on a cold May evening, charge phones and a laptop, run a small chest freezer in the kitchen. What you can't do is run a hair dryer and an electric kettle simultaneously. There's a laminated card on the inverter that says so in June's handwriting.
Families with kids old enough to swim. Small groups of friends who cook together. People who want to sit in a chair and watch weather move across water. Not a party cabin. No loud music after dark; sound carries on water and there are two neighbors across the pond who didn't sign up for your playlist.
$235/night for up to 4, $285/night for 5–6 (raised $10 for 2026 to fund the dock), three-night minimum in peak (July–August), $110 turnover.
