    This is our 6th year visiting Wilsons on Moosehead and we still love everything about it. We love…read morethe proximity to the lake for swimming, boating, kayaking, bird and loon watching, catching the sunrises and sunsets and star gazing at night. It is a beautiful, serene, quiet and peaceful place. We stay at Spencer cabin and appreciate that there is no t.v. but that there is a stove, sink, refrigerator, shower and beds! There is a kitchen table, picnic table, charcoal grill and fire pit. Scott is a gregarious, down to earth owner who is an expert on this area and a wealth of information as a wilderness and fishing guide. Scott and his wife work hard making updates and repairs ( never ending) while still keeping the rustic and simple origins of these cabins intact. We hope this place continues to flourish and we can continue to look forward to our yearly trips on the lake.

    Cabin is in a deplorable condition. Extremely poor condition. Absolutely unacceptable, an…read moreunhealthy environment. My boyfriend opened the door for me to enter the screened in porch. His immediate words, "be careful of the broken glass on the floor". As we entered and navigated past the broken glass and debris. We entered into the kitchen first in absolute shock at what we saw and smelled. Water stained ceilings drooping. Mold, animal smell, dishes with old caked on food. A frig with a yellow brownish mold or stains all over the front. Insides the frig broken off- falling pieces of the inside shell with exposed insulation. The flooring not vacuumed from the obvious debris. I am still using a heating pad on my back from tripping on a partially lifted metal carpet stripping. As well, just staying overnight while trying to secure other accommodations. I came down with an infected finger. The bathroom shower is a free standing, wobbly what appears to be black mold at the bottom. It appeared filthy. My partner has been an outdoor enthusiast-hunter-fisherman over 60 yrs. Staying in fishing lodges all over. Never he said did he ever experience such a disgusting place. He did try to discuss our feelings with the owner-asked for a refund. We did not get one. Unfortunately their was more unexpected expenses in securing another place to stay. While our next stay was fantastic. It was not directly on the lake as we wished for making our Moosehead Lake vacation not what we expected. Ive thought much about our experience at Wilson's...should I share, should we share. As posting a negative review doesn't make us happy. My decision was based on the owner not being accountable. It is an unhealthy mess..and disappointing for us. We are very fair people and share the view of the lake spectacular. From front door of the cabin just a few feet to the shore. The state of the inside of the cabin is a pitiful mess. We, as customers were not looking for a 5 star hotel. We were looking forward to your advertised experience. Which its not and is time to renovate. I cannot attest to the other cabins state of being. Just the one we checked into and left the very next day.

    My friend and I tried the evening moose tour in which you are driven to a beautiful 'pond' as they…read morecall it and get into 3 person canoes (two paddling, one in the middle) hoping to see moose. Their venue is closer to Bangor than some of the other outfitters that do this, however, the ride to get to the pond is at least an hour. You ride in a van and some of the roads are bumpy. The guide narrates a little, but I feel he could have done more. The home base is nice and they sell souvenirs, coffee, and snacks. They have a bathroom building with changing areas. There was lots of water on the ground there, so I wonder why it wasn't moped. Once you get into the van, there is no bathroom area (unless there is a porta potty that I missed. The scenery by the water was very beautiful and peaceful and even though no moose were spotted, it was still a very nice experience. The price was fair and there was always someone that answered the phone when we called to ask questions. Overall a great experience.

    Went out with a group of 8 people total, our family of 4 in addition to 4 others. We were driven…read moreabout an hour in a van to arrive at the moose spot. Our guide Zack did a great job of chatting and sharing nature facts while we rode. Worth noting is that the second half hour of the ride is pretty bumpy on a dirt road. Also, if you go during black fly season you might want to consider a face net. They weren't too bad on the pond, but they tend to fly directly towards your eyes and nose, and the net keeps them off. Once we got to the water we suited up with life jackets and Zack helped us into the canoes. We paddled for around an hour and ended up seeing 3 different moose on the water plus another 2 on the ride home! We were able to float for around 30 minutes in the canoe, just observing the moose eating. It was a bit of a trek to get here from Bar Harbor but totally worth it!
