Private, on the water beautiful log cabin, 815 feet of water frontage, 16 acres

As of July 12, 2023 we have 54 reviews and they are all five stars.
The property is truly a memory factory for families and friends. Comes fully furnished with charm straight out of a movie scene. Private large log cabin that sites in the middle of 16 area of land and has 815 feet of water frontage. The cabin is 40 feet X 60 feet and has a large screened in porch, 30 feet X 26 feet. Also an outdoor deck. Fishing, swimming and boating are right out the lake side door. Hiking on the Appalachia trail or mountain hiking is within a few miles. There are many beautiful walks within the area. The cabin sites approximately 7 story's above the water and faces west. The views are breath taking. All the comforts of home: full kitchen, one full bath, one half bath, cloths dryer & washer, extra sink in the master bedroom and an outside shower.. The master bedroom has a king size bed and a bunk bed, the other down stairs bedroom has a queen size bed. Both of these rooms have enough space to set up roll away beds in them. The loft bedroom has a queen bed, a full bed and three single beds and there is a pull out couch on the screened in porch.

Dock at the water's edge. This site was selected by a family from Chicago in 1945.
There is a road that goes down to within 50 feet of the water. If you have a four wheel drive vehicle you can drive down the road to drop off/pickup kayaks or canoes. It is also good for older people that might not want to go down the 7 story of stairs to the water. The cabin has an 30 amp RV connection. The cabin has Elon Musk's Starlink internet which is very strong. (150--50).
There is deep extremely clear water right off the docks for diving and swimming.


Maximum number of people is 12.

Terrific
If you want to get rid of some stress this is the perfect place. Quiet & beautiful. You could spend a few hours just looking at all the things Bill has put into the cabin & porch. You see something new every time. Or old like the pay phone on the porch. Bill is a great owner! You can send him a message anytime & he will get back to you on the same day. Definetly check out the Monson general store. They have great sandwiches for breakfast & lunch. Everything is so fresh & great desserts too!

Epic private setting for a lakeside adventure
We had a large family gather here, aged 6 months to 75 years old. The swimming and kayaks were a huge hit, and teens and adults all spent a significant amount of time out on and in the water. The 7 stories of stairs made our calves so strong! There were incredible nearby hikes and waterfalls that also filled our time here. The pool table and other porch games were well utilized. We found the place comfortable, spacious and eclectic, and the owner was quick to respond to any problem or inquiry. I would not hesitate to return. The only drawback, really, was cleanup in the kitchen, with many guests and no dishwasher, the process was lengthy and we arrived to find not even a sponge to wash our dishes. All in all, a fantastic space removed from the hustle and bustle, and plenty of space to spread out, play games, and stay active outdoors. Everyone loved it!

Rustic log cabin on peaceful pond with awesome swimming
We had a great week at this log cabin...very private and quiet but only about 10 minutes from little downtown of Monson; 20 minutes from Greenville. Close to AT and Borestone mountain for hiking. No public boat launch on pond but the guys took our small boat over the lake hebron and also fished in monson pond with kayaks and canoe provided by Bill. Not much biting but grandpa caught a 17" trout in the pond on our 1st day. The swimming was the best....beautiful water and scenery with barely a soul on the pond. Kids enjoyed jumping off the dock. There was plenty of room for the 11 of us to spread out in main living area and screened porch. The sleeping area over porch was not really usable...more due to bugs at night than the heat which wasn't bad when we were there. 17 year old grandson slept on one of the porch couches and 23 year old granddaughter slept on living room couch...everyone else in the 3 remaining rooms. The loft area did have enough beds to have slept more than 4 that were up there. We enjoyed wathcing the hummingbirds at the feeders right outside the windows. We adapted surprisingly quickly to the several flights of stairs to the water....great workout coming back up....would not be a good fit for anyone with mobility issues but our granddaughter ran up and down them as a workout. Bill was by far the best host we've had in all the years of renting....super responsive to any concerns.

This is my family's second time staying here on Monson Pond. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this special place. Similar to last year, we spent most of our time on the water, but did enjoy some local hiking. It rained most of the week we were there, but we didn't let it hinder our family time and enjoyment of the peaceful environment on the pond and beautiful surrounding area. Hope to return again next year!

Deeply Relaxing Fun and Entertaining
If you love birds, every morning they come right up to the back porch to grab food and do not mind that you're just two feet away. Southern flying squirrels at dawn, then red squirrels, chipmunks, red and white breastednuthatches, black capped chickadees, blue jays, hairy woodpeckers, American goldfinches, and droves of hummingbirds all come to visit the deck. You can watch the Bald Eagles flying across the shoreline and see the loons and merganser ducks swimming around diving under water right from the back deck. The stairs to the water are easy to go down and seem a bit daunting to get back up, but I'm not very healthy and was more than capable of climbing them daily cause it's worth the trip to the water. Water Shoes are a good idea for the adults getting in and out of water there are lots of flat but present rocks on shoreline. You can also jump into 6 foot deep water off the end of the dock. Very clean refreshing water body and enough kayaks and canoes for everyone big and tiny alike. Never a dull moment, there are lots of games and activities on site you'll never get board. Also a great fire pit out front for night time. If you turn off all the outside lights and look up, the stars are amazing beautiful and bountiful. I was awe struck. I left truly and deeply relaxed, a feeling I've definitely been needing.

Beautiful secluded lodge
This property is spacious and very peaceful and secluded. Beautiful views of Monson pond which was great for swimming, kayaking etc. The owner, Bill, was very welcoming and always available for any questions. Monson has many nearby hiking trails, antique shop and one of the best restaurants I have experienced anywhere (the Quarry). Would highly recommend!

Amazing cabin
We throughly enjoyed our stay at this amazing cabin. Such a great place to relax and unwind. And the views are breathtaking! The cabin was even bigger than expected, lots of room for all. The large screened in porch was a favorite hanging out spot in the evening. Bill was a wonderful host, very responsive on my questions , helpful and kind.

Exactly what I was looking for
I was looking for something remote yet on the water. This delivered exactly what I was looking for. Both Monsun and Moosehead are wonderful places to visit. Would love to come back again! The house itself was as described. Lots of details to things you may not realize are important for your stay. Everything was provided and available and then some. Highly recommend!
