About this cottage rental

Four Seasons is a private, secluded lakefront cottage located on the relatively undeveloped 75 acre Pickerel Pond (Perley on maps) located in the beautiful lakes region of Denmark Maine. Perfect for couples and small families, you will find a quiet, peaceful, and intimate lake experience surrounded by Maine’s finest natural sights and sounds, augmented by the undeveloped nature of the lake and the privacy of your own sandy beach within feet of your backdoor. Beautiful lake views and sounds of nature abound here.

Four Seasons is a single level ranch style cottage built in 1955. Our family purchased the cottage in 1968 from the original owners as a summer lake house retreat and have been enjoying and renting successfully for over 50 years. The main feature is the large open concept living area with brick fireplace and large picture window providing expansive views of the lake. A large farm-house style table and bench seating made by local craftsmen from locally harvested pine in the 1950s provides ample seating and entertainment areas. The sandy beach is fairly wide and shallow and drops off very gradually, while the adjacent waterfront deck provides comfortable seating and great views of the lake as you enjoy your morning coffee, lunch, or evening beverage.

Sleeping quarters include 2 private bedrooms and 2 bunk style beds in the main living room area.

Cottage has been continuously improved upon and updated under our family’s ownership to provide reliable year-round access and has up-to-date mechanicals.

Explore the pristine surrounding lakefront and all of its aquatic wildlife with our small rowboat (included with rental). Great freshwater fishing is right at your fingertips. Pickerel Pond is well known for its abundancy of largemouth bass, pickerel, perch, and sunfish.

Shopping and dining available in nearby Bridgeton (11 miles). Close to North Conway (less than 30 miles). Close to downtown Portland (approximately 30 miles).

PLEASE NOTE: Linen service is NOT INCLUDED with our standard rental but is available for an additional fee. Linen fees are as follows: $200/ week up to 4 guests. Each additional guest $50/week. Please contact owner if interested in this service when booking.

Wonderful property on a peaceful pond. Had all the needed amenities. Very clean. Not musty. Windows overlook the pond. Great rural location. Recommend for couples needing to get away or a family looking for fun in the water.

The cabin is really roomy, and has everything. Really, everything! The kitchen is stocked with every dish and pan/pot etc. Coffemaker is great. The drinking water is perfect. The views out the plentiful big windows are glorious, We kept the lights off at night and could see the stars. The beds are comfortable, and everything was fresh and clean. From the wonderfully situated deck right on the water, we watched the visiting great blue heron, and the loons (who we decided were living on the next lake). At night we heard owls and watched bats. The pond had hardly any people around, and there are trails all around, lots of habitat for birds and creatures... there was a snapping turtle, snake, fox, deer, turkeys, and evidence of moose (but we didn't meet any in person). Heard or saw goldfinches, pileated woodpecker, chickadees, hairy woodpecker, pine warbler, nuthatches, phoebe, vireos, ravens, and the hummingbirds who came to live with us for 2 weeks to enjoy the feeders we brought. Many beautiful hikes nearby---Pleasant Mountain views are great. Host was prompt, willing and helpful with questions. Cabin is all on one level, and steps to the water/deck have handrails all over. Easy launching place for kayaks right by the cabin. Delightful!

Enjoyed the cabin on the lake., Spent time relaxing on the dock mornings and evenings. We took our kayaks and explored and fished on the lake. We were a bit surprised that there were no blankets or covers for the beds. We had our own sheets and had a few of our own blankets which we were glad we had. Often blankets are supplied by the hosts. Overall the experience was positive.

It was as if we rented the entire lake, not just the cottage. The only other people we saw or heard were the next door unit renters and that wasn't very often. Even with the unit right next door there is amazing privacy! It was myself, my husband and our children (14yrs and 12yrs). We brought our 4 Kayaks with us and my husband spent loads of time fishing and caught MANY Bass and some Pickerel at all times of the day - not just dawn and dusk. The water was the perfect temperature for swimming and that's what my son spent hours doing with a mask and kickboard. Lovely sunsets every night made for some great photos while out on the water. From inside the cabin it almost feels like a house boat because you are so close to the water. The long farmer's table was perfect for us. We had a running Monopoly game going on one side which left plenty of room for dining and sitting on the other. The cabin was well stocked with board games for entertainment. I didn't pay close enough attention to the listing to realize there was no television available, however, it turned out to be a positive in the end. Don't worry, wi-fi worked great so there is access to outside entertainment if needed. We played lots of music on the available sound system and even listened to some audio books to round out the nights together. My 12 year old didn't even want to leave the house most days to go on excursions, he loved the location and nature access so much. Hannaford is about 20 minute ride away but if you stock up you only need one trip. We spent our days in Naples, Windham, tubing the Saco River (family favorite), North Conway shops and Portland - all within in hour of the cabin.
