North Woods Maine Cabins — Local services in Bowdoin College Grant West Township

What is not to LOVE about Winterfell Northwoods Cabin? As we went through the winding back roads (yes we zigged, when we should have zagged - no worries tho), up to the driveway…it opened up to a stunning picturesque sight of a log cabin with a wrap around deck (equally divided between covered & open)! Set back from the private road, so quiet amongst the pine & birch trees. As we exited our car, we knew this place was going to be very special & in our hearts forever - it smelled like Christmas!! We entered into Winterfell & our expectations of a “cabin” were beyond exceeded. Light, bright & airy, no stuffy or damp smelling cabin here, super clean & spotless. The living room has cathedral ceilings, which is open to the kitchen/dining areas there is an abundance of counter space as well as cabinets with an extremely well equipped kitchen - utensils/pots/pans/plates/serving wear/glasses/mugs/pilsner glasses/etc. Modern amenities included - full size stove/oven, fridge, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, &&&& washer/dryer! Both bathrooms were top notch. The 3 bedrooms are more then generous in size & in storage (for those like me who…well bring the kitchen sink along w a gown…because as us girls know, “you never know, you might need it” 😉) Super comfortable beds, all rooms have ceiling fans as well. Back to the living room, Winterfell has a huge couch (it actually should be called a cloud, as it sucks u in, perfect for a rainy day of lounging with the fireplace going & a fluffy blanket) Winterfell has a fantastic set-up on the deck. Under the covered part of the deck is where you could find my golden retriever Vixen & I most early mornings & late evenings enjoying the sounds of various wildlife (myself included- lol) There is a round bar height fire pit table that has six chairs (with backs, great for all - large to small) it runs off of propane which the host provides. Also on the deck is a full sized gas grill to use (propane) - an all time favorite to use for breakfast/lunch/dinner. There is an attached magnetic “gate” on the deck where the stairs down to the driveway are - PERFECTION - odd to say about a gate I know, if you have small children or four legged family members this is a lifesaver/safety/peace of mind kind of gate. On the grounds of Winterfell there is a large outdoor fire pit (wood) along with seating in comfortable Adirondack chairs. The grounds have a flat/level grass area - fantastic for a football game, tag, corn hole competition, etc - great for family fun & bragging rights! Moosehead Lake is a short walk down the road - with its VIEWS!!! The pictures do not do it justice, definitely a must see - especially @ dusk. Crystal clear water, fish, ducks, & my boy Vixen rolling in the sand by the dock. We didn’t swim as we went in October for fall foliage - however that did not stop my golden boy Vixen from having the time of his life. The town is small & quaint, plenty of signs for moose crossings! There are several super cute stores & restaurants, as well as a gas station & grocery/trading post store - you can get fresh vegetables & buy an atv @ the same time. The locals are all very friendly & will gladly share some local favorites. Great hiking trails, fishing spots, outdoor water sports & activities for the entire family/group. The host/owner (Billy P) is fantastic! Any & all questions we had - Billy P answered quickly & thoroughly. The directions to gain access into Winterfell were super easy & rather accessible as well. Billy P will guide you to whatever you need - from where to find extra dry fire wood/boat rentals/best atv trails/range/to the hidden gems & magic of Moosehead Lake. Winterfell, in my opinion is a true Americana vacation spot and we can’t wait to go back (come onnnnn October!!) If could, I would bottle up the Christmas smell of Winterfell & bring it home with me…truly a must for family & friends alike. Bravo Billy P & thank you for opening up your wonderful home for those of us that are lucky enough to have a stay @ Winterfell...

Spent 5 a few nights here before heading to bar harbor. One will ask what the heck is there to do in Greenville? Well if you can't find or think of anything the absurdly well stocked house here is excellent! We cooked every single day taki g advantage of the well stocked kitchen and the convenient grill. Spent time on the comfortable couches and giant TV. The cozy fire pit outside was great for smores at night and campfire talks. We went to an average airbnb in bar harbor and severely missed the cozy cabin here! There are some fun things to do in Greenville too definitely stroll the town and get onto the lake and ponds...

This is is THE BEST! My family and I stayed here a couple months back and it exceeded our expectations ! Large gorgeous cabin, a block from the most beautiful lake . We had 6 adults and two dogs and it was very spacious . So many things to do and see . The owners are easy to get in touch with if any issues and really put a lot of effort into making this cabin feel like home. There’s even a magnetic gate blocking the wrap around porch so your pups can go outside and be protected if off leash. Highly recommend...
