Big Moose is located 8-miles north of Millinocket on the Baxter State Park/Millinocket Lake Road. Take I-95 to the Medway exit and follow Rte. 157 to Millinocket. Turn right at the old Stearns High School (big brick building on your right) and follow the signs to Baxter State Park. We are on the right next to the North Woods Trading Post.
We stayed one night...suite 7. The room was spacious and very clean. Comfy beds provided a good night's sleep. Lots of signs telling how to work things, we had no problems working the TV, heat, or anything else. Only negative about this room is that it's close to the kitchen so you hear a lot of door and ventilation noise while the restaurant is open. We were glad they closed at 9pm!
Worst stay I've probably had across 48 states & 9 countries.
Paid $150 for a shed with a bed they called a cabin. All the showers were locked when I got there at night after a 7 hour drive north into the wilderness. Very bad stay.
Nice for what it is! This is an interesting and beautiful property with great views of the water. The campground is rustic and the cabins and inn seemed very nice (we were camping at an RV site).
We were the only folks at the campground the first night of our stay. We don’t expect much when we camp, and we weren’t planning to use the fire pit because the bugs were so vicious, but our fire pit was the only one with garbage in it. It was disappointing that our site wasn’t looked over before we arrived (since we were the only campers that night). Wash house was rustic, moderately clean and you do have to pay for showers (any shower water, not just hot water, bring quarters)- the equivalent of a state park wash house. For the price point, it’s okay to ask someone to pay for showers OR put up with a little garbage in the fire pit upon arrival, but not both.
My family and I stayed 2 nights at the "Little Rocky" cabin. Although the cabins are a little closer than we would like we really enjoyed our time. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The cabin area and lake were very enjoyable and peaceful. We didn't get a chance to dine at either restaurant but the staff checking in and around the campground were very helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed the proximity to Baxter State park and really enjoyed it.
The innkeepers were nice and welcoming. The room was quiet and clean, but had a musty smell. The bed was noisy when you turn over, but it was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was small but fresh.
