About The Waldheim

Bird’s-eye view of The Waldheim

The Waldheim is a quiet and rustic vacation spot, located along the north shore of picturesque Big Moose Lake. The Waldheim’s 300 acres are at the end of the road and adjacent to state wilderness land, leaving plenty of room for privacy, quiet, and play. Although meals are served on china and table linen, the atmosphere is restful and informal. The Waldheim is a place where families can be families.

The Waldheim’s seventeen cottages range in size from one to five bedrooms. Each has a living room with a wood-burning fireplace or stove, one or more bathrooms, and a porch overlooking the lake.

Refrigerators are provided for snacks and ice. Cottages are cleaned daily and our fire staff starts a fire in each cottage early every morning and keeps porches stocked with wood. There are no telephones, televisions, clocks, or radios to interfere with your relaxation. However, we have free wifi located in our library, along with a free long-distance phone available.

The water throughout The Waldheim is from a well on the premises. It is treated and tested regularly. The water we have here tastes so refreshing that there is no need for bottled water.

American Plan

The Waldheim has remained on the American Plan, which includes three full meals daily.

Breakfast consists of orange juice and grapefruit juice, fresh melon, grapefruit sections, stewed prunes, and bananas.  We offer our fresh baked pastries, homemade granola and oatmeal.  To top it off, we also have eggs to order, french toast, pancakes, and one-eyes (Ask us about them!  They are delicious!).  We serve real maple syrup at breakfast!
