Notes: Our house on Kineo provides an extraordinarily comfortable and private experience in a truly unique setting. It is spectacular, but it does require a bit of effort. Kineo Peninsula is only accessible by boat -- from the Rockwood dock, it is a 5 minute boat crossing to reach our boat slip. Once on Kineo proper, our home is a 5-10 minute golf cart ride from the docks. We can provide a helping hand arrival service that includes transfer from Rockwood to the house itself. Our golf cart and pro-hauler are both available for rent for your stay, and there is a nearby marina that can provide boat rentals. A boat is recommended, but it is not necessary as there is a public ferry, The Kineo Launch, which makes the crossing between Kineo and Rockwood several times a day. No cars are allowed on Kineo. Besides Rockwood, the nearest town is Greenville - a 20 minute drive from Rockwood. There is a major grocery store and outdoor gear store in Greenville called the Indian Hill Trading Post.

Paradise!

kags Ipswich, MA
Review Submitted: July 31, 2007 Date of Stay: July 2007
My family spent the week recently and this place is AMAZING. The home is spacious, immaculate and luxurious (even nicer than the pictures show) and the island itself is magical.
The family was so helpful in getting us in and situated and we really appreciated that. They were always just a phone call away w/ any questions we had. The locals were also very friendly and very helpful.
Our children (ages 2-19) really enjoyed the golf cart rides and exploring the island, looking for wildlife. We sat by the fire, made smores, BBQ'd, played board games, watched DVD's, went for walks, fished, boated, golfed, hung out at the clubhouse, ate at fantastic restaurants and much more. Believe it or not, there was lots of peaceful down time too. We all got to catch up as a family w/out computers, TV, cellphones, texting and all the craziness. It was a very special time for us.
Kineo Island is almost surreal in it's beauty. We've never seen such a place. There are so many memories that'll last us a lifetime. We long to get back there and you can bet we will.

Moosehead Vacationers for 45 yrs Eliot, ME
Review Submitted: August 12, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had a great vacation! It rained a lot so we spent more time than expected in the house. The house design was perfect for our family of 9 (6 adults, 3 kids) plus one dog. The house is cozy and quiet with plenty of room for everyone to have a comfortable place to sit and read, play games, watch movies, take naps, etc. We loved the camp fire for s'mores and ghost stories. Although we used the indoor fireplace more due to the rain. The kids had a great time on the rope swing down on Pebble Beach, the guys got in a golf match, we climbed Kineo and went blueberry picking! The house is very clean and is more than adequately stocked with towels, sheets, paper goods, etc. The only things we had to bring were clothes and food. The kitchen was fully equipped. Thank you for sharing your home. We hope to come back next year!

My New Favorite Place in the World

WildBill Hooksett, NH
Review Submitted: August 14, 2006 Date of Stay: August 2006
My wife and 2 kids (ages 10 and 13) had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home last week and we had a wonderful time. We've been to Disney World (twice), have done cruises, California, Florida (Gulf Coast), Cape Cod, etc. but this for me was much more relaxing and enjoyable than any of those as it truely was a 'get away from it all' vacation.

The house sits on it's own pond in the middle of a very picturesque and challenging 9-hole golf course (i.e. your 'driveway' connects to the 2nd fairway) and you get around in a golf cart and the Pro Hauler - which my kids loved tooling around on. Mount Kineo Isle itself is quite fascinating in that it housed very large and popular hotels from the 1880's through a few years ago and there's a lot of history there, including some of those original structures.

In addition to golf, we did
* swimming (beaches at the base of Kineo are minutes away by golf cart)
* boating (a private slip as well as tube is provided)
* hiked up Mount Kineo (beautiful views)
* fishing (obviously), and
* built bonfires to make S'mores (firepit on pond shore in front of house)

We also prepared all but one meal there in a fantastic kitchen (this never happens at home) and even got to read some books. The lack of connectedness to the civilized world was really a big plus in that we all sat and watched movies together which, again, doesn't happen very often at home.

Yes there are some logistical challenges if you don't have a boat (which we didn't - we rented a couple of times and it is pricey ($200-$500 per day) to do so) but the locals are very friendly and helpful in getting you to the house.

All in all I look forward to returning in the next few years with other family members and friends who saw our pictures and expressed a strong interest in going. Highly recommended for 'crazy busy' families like ours who are constantly going in separate directions and need a place to reconnect.
