[WATCH NOW]( [6 Moosehead Lake Cabins You Can Rent | Maine Getaways]( Escape to the central Maine wilderness and New England’s largest lake with a stay at one of these cozy Moosehead Lake cabins. Once described by Henry David Thoreau as being “like a gleaming silver platter at the end of the table,” Moosehead Lake in west-central Maine is New England’s largest lake, yet it’s still a quiet treasure. Tucked among the Longfellow Mountains in the Maine Highlands, the lake is already at an elevation of 1,023 feet, surrounded in part by the 700-foot cliffs of Mount Kineo. Given its remote location and its 400-plus miles of shoreline, the lake is a serene getaway that can often seem more populated by moose than people. Looking to escape to these peaceful shores?
