Dog-friendly lakefront cabin with covered porch & firepit on the shore

Partridge Road Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Privacy and comfort are yours when you stay in this spacious cabin on Brassua Lake. Revel in views from your front porch or get warm and cozy with a fire on the shore. Your beloved dogs are also welcome.

This new post-and-beam cabin is nestled at the edge of Brassua Lake, the last on a dead-end dirt road. Your backyard gently slopes down to a sandy beach and the water, allowing you to swim, kayak, or canoe (one is available for guests) anytime you like. And you'll be only five miles from Rockwood proper for in-town conveniences.

The Maine cabin decor and stone fireplace create a welcoming open-design living area. Bask in the light filtering in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, or relax on the large, wrap-around deck and watch the sun set. You'll also have free WiFi and a private washer/dryer in addition to all the comforts of home.

Great place to unwind. Getting up in the morning and gazing out over the lake with my morning coffee is the best way to relax.

Beautiful location
The house was a perfect end of summer getaway for our family of 6, and dogs. The scenery is beautiful and the house has everything for a fun filled and relaxing day, including 2 canoes and fire pit. We would absolutely come back!

Wonderful stay
The house was very clean when we arrived. The view from the deck/yard/dock were spectacular with peak foliage on display. The beach area was private and my two pups had a blast running up and down the shore and swimming. The gas fireplace was lovely on the cooler nights. When we lost power on one day of our stay, the generator automatically kicked into gear to keep the power on until CMP was able to restore it later that night. We would absolutely stay here again!

Rockwood Maine Lakeside Home
The house was the perfect fit for our family with a master bedroom on the top floor and another on the bottom floor. This allowed for privacy for both my husband and I and my daughter and her boyfriend. The property was clean and the lakeside view was perfect. The property owners were close by and very attentive.

Wonderful Cottage
I've rented several homes in the Moosehead region and this was by far the best. The home was beautifully situated in a quiet area, with a picturesque view of the sun setting on the opposite end of the lake each evening. My dog loved spending time by the water, and I enjoyed using the lakeside fire pit. Mike and Becky were friendly and attentive hosts. I enjoyed our conversations. I’m looking forward to returning there.

Tranquility on the lake
The house was beautiful and the owners of this property were incredibly generous during our stay. This lake was peaceful (we only saw 2 motorboats pass by during our week- long stay). This was a perfect place to relax and unwind by paddling around the lake in a canoe or kayak or sit on the deck overlooking the lake. Bring a good book and put all of your stress and worries aside at this absolutely perfect lakeside home! My 81 year old mother and teenage boys all loved it for what the house and the area had to offer.

Beautiful Brassua Lake
We stayed during the kid's mid-winter break and had a great time. Easy access to snowmobile trails and ice fishing were the big ticket items for us. The posting says WiFi can be problematic, we had zero issues with 3 kids doing their thing and we could stream a movie at the same time. The air hockey table needs to be replaced, it's beat up and very unstable. The water heater cannot keep up with the fill rate of the Jacuzzi. Better communication from the host prior to and during our stay would have made for a better review. Pretty sure Vacasa is mostly AI driven rather than actual human beings, keep this in mind when booking.

Our family had a WONDERFUL time at the Partridge Road Retreat!
Plenty of room (and more to spare) with our family of five: 2 adults and 3 children (ages 3, 8, 10). The lake house was clean and well taken care of inside. Essentials like dishwashing pods, laundry soap, paper products, towels, and shower toiletries were stocked for us. We loved the wood beams and open floor plan. Our youngest loved the outdoorsy décor, especially the moose in one of the bedrooms! The property was gorgeous as well. Plenty of space to park and a huge yard to enjoy. We arrived during a snowstorm, but the property owners made sure to have the drive & walkways clear for us. We used the fire pit, which offers an unmatched view of the lake and mountains. We also played board games on the kitchen table and loved hanging out on the comfy sectional couch. The property owners live next door; they are very friendly and made sure everything went well with our visit. We felt very welcomed! We would have loved to stay longer, maybe forever! We’ll be back to this beautiful place; it was the perfect spot to rest and recharge.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Not the best heat or water
They lie about giving me a refund when the heat stop working. They had give us a space heater and my mom had to sleep on the couch to stay warm the all 3 nights. The first night we froze because the fireplace didn't work. There water doesn't get hot. Definitely wont recommend that place in the winter.

Lovely stay
We had a wonderful time at this lovely lakeside cabin. The lake was still frozen and it was extremely windy and cold during our time there, but we still enjoyed being cooped up inside, especially with the large windows looking out at the lake. We are eager to one day return when the lake is no longer frozen. The house had everything we needed (except for dish soap, but I think that might have been an accidental oversight). The wind was very very loud on the metal roof and at one point the electricity seamlessly switched to the generator, but we still really enjoyed our time cooped up inside. The only suggestion for improvement would be better internet. We couldn't stream anything! We do hope to return soon.

Beautiful winter vacation home
This house is very beautiful and is in a perfect location! It is a little close to another couple homes but there was no issues with that at all. Great atmosphere good neighborhood. It is a very comfortable feeling and home away from home. Enough room for a nice size family and our dogs which is always a must. We loved everything about this place although a few minor hiccups. I like to clean when it comes to animals and kids you have to. There wasn’t really much cleaning supplies which is fine we bought some but the mop is very ragged and tearing apart and didn’t really work. The broom needs to be replaced with a bigger one as the one there is very tiny (for a place with all wooden floors) and the bristles were poking out everywhere making it hard to sweep up dirt. There is a chair at the table that the leg kept coming unscrewed so we didn’t want anyone to use that one and the little foot rest to the rocking chair has a broken leg so we didn’t want to use that either. The only other thing which was the biggest issue for us is the hot water. It didn’t stay hot for long and you have to wait in between showers for everyone to take one as it got very cold very quick. The tub which was a huge excitement for our family was beautiful but you could only fill it about 1/4 of the way before the water got ice cold. Other than these few things everything was great and it was stocked with dishes and pots and pans and as very clean and overall gorgeous. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Maine Family Vacation
This was our second time staying for a week at the cabin. The house was fully stocked and very clean. The backyard is a beautiful oasis whether you enjoy swimming, canoeing, or relaxing in the hammock. We are already looking forward to next summer!

Wonderful experience
Our family had an absolutely wonderful time here. Lounging in the hammocks, or riding the canoe across that big lake, house had everything we needed for a nice quiet week. Owner lives a house away and were very pleasant, we had a few questions and he was happy to help out. Highly recommend! Will return!

Brassua Lake’s Biggest Secret
This is the second time our family has been to this cabin. We just love the area and this house. The lake is so quiet and secluded. We feel like Brassua Lake is one of Maine’s biggest secrets because there is nobody on the water. If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing get away this is the place. The home was spotless and equipped with necessary items. The owners are very nice and responsive. We will definitely be returning!
