My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Moosehead Lake has been a popular destination for generational land owners, sportsmen, and vacationers for decades now, and with such incredible views, who can blame them? This remote area is perfect to just get away from it all and being right on the water of Maine’s largest lake is always a great option. There is one location that has a long history of being in the area and the cabins have some of the best views of all. So get ready for a trip to remember with a stay at Wilsons on Moosehead Lake in Maine.
It all started with a man named Henery I. Wilson. After the smoke cleared from the Civil War, Wilson had enough of the conflict and wanted a place of peace to retreat to and call home.
Heading north into the Maine woods, he arrived at Moosehead Lake. Struck by the sheer beauty of it all, he purchased a property and started to work as the dam operator. He established a hotel that attracted hundreds of sportsmen to the area, and cabins were later added. Wilson knew that he had created something special, but little did he know that it would continue to have an impact for many generations to come.
The location changed hands quite a few times, but the mission was always the same: provide cabins for those to enjoy and take full advantage of the natural surroundings.
Scott and Alison Snell are the current owners. They are an amazing family with a real love for the area and not only bring top-tier service, but also open up the space for many to enjoy.

Perhaps one of the best features of a night's stay at Wilsons on Moosehead Lake is the proximity to the water.
You will be staying right on the water and can listen to the loons calling in the morning, sip coffee while hearing the peaceful cadence of the water, and take in one of the most stunning views in all of Maine.
You can use the space as a quiet retreat or call all your friends for a great time at the lake. The options are endless and the choice is up to you on how to use it. These accommodations are rustic and charming, giving you that classic lakeside cabin feel that we are all familiar with in our state.
At Wilson’s, you are certainly welcome to strike out on your own, but there are also expert guides ready to help you.
Take a fly fishing trip or cast a line for some small-mouth bass. If you want to simply tour the area and learn where all the best places are you can do that too, allowing time to get out of the boat and do some hiking and exploring. Lastly, they also offer peaceful and scenic sunset cruises so you can end your day with painted skies and beautiful views.
These cabins aren't just open for the summer months.
As any good outdoorsman can tell you that there is no such thing as an off-season in Maine, just different activities to take part in. When the snow piles up high, it's the perfect time for some good old-fashioned snowmobiling. When the lake is frozen, drill a hole and partake in a little ice fishing. Many of the cabins stay open all year long so you can take full advantage of the area no matter what time of the year it is.
Wilsons on Moosehead Lake in Maine will assuredly give you that classic cabin experience we all know and love in our state. With a friendly family who cares about the space and the people occupying it and the fantastic views, you can’t go wrong.
