Woodhaven 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 soundsof nature abound here.

Woodhaven is a classic 2 story 70’s style A-frame structure designed and constructed in the early 1970’s by my father as a secondary property for our family to enjoy as our adjacent property, Four Seasons, quickly became a popular vacation rental destination. The main features are its large 2 story cathedral ceiling and windows, and cozy seating on the 2nd floor balcony that provide impressive views of the lake. The kitchen is an open concept and features a sunny breakfast nook with built in seating. Easy access to the outdoors and beach from the kitchen and first floor living areas. The sandy beach has a gradual lead in but drops off quickly and has some great underwater diving rocks. The nearby ground level deck has outdoor seating under shaded trees while the upper outdoor deck provides a nice sunning location and seating area to enjoy your morning coffee, lunch, or evening beverage.

Sleeping quarters include 3 private bedrooms- a master bedroom on first floor with adjoining bathroom and 2 private bedrooms on the 2nd floor.

My family has been enjoying and renting this property successfully for over 50 years. Cottage has been continuously improved upon and updated 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).

    Delightful week of quiet relaxation. Cottage is as described, host is timely in communications and answered all questions. Kitchen is well provisioned for cooks (although the knives could use sharpening once a year) and two coffee makers (1 drip, 1 KCup) were nice. Comfy primary bed. Small but adequate bathroom with good shower pressure. Inside was well cleaned upon arrival. We did some outside sweeping ourselves. Not a big deal.Pond is quiet with two nearby homes and one other float. We don’t fish but saw others. Good for Kayacking. We used the included rowboat. We liked proximity to Bridgton and Naples restaurants for dinners.. We would definitely return.

    My wife, sister in-law and I spent a week here. We enjoyed this very much, it was exactly what we wanted. Enjoyed a low key vacation. Host was very responsive and helpful with inquires. In the future if I were looking for a place to relax and get away from daily pressures this would be the place. Ed G.

    Derek was a very thoughtful host. He was timely and thorough responding to my inquiries. The property precisely matched the description on VRBO. The house is immaculate and I was especially impressed with the well appointed kitchen. The WiFi worked great. The view from the deck and access to the pond was such a bonus. We appreciated the peacefulness of no boat motors. We caught and released large bass. The floating dock made it fun to swim in the warm water. Every night we sat on the deck and watched the stars. The location was conveniently located, approximately 15-20 minutes to the supermarket, great restaurants and homemade ice cream. Denmark is within a 60 minute drive to the ocean or the White Mountains.We will definitely be back. Thank you Derek!

    10/10 This property was just perfect. We travel to Maine annually and loved the proximity to the lake (just out the back door) and to town (approx 10 minutes) The owner was extremely responsive and the property lived up to the pictures, etc. A week here was extremely relaxing (even with 3 kids in tow!)

    We feel so fortunate to have found this place! This lake-front, simple and secluded cabin was just what we were looking for and perfect for our family. The lake is clean and quiet, not overpopulated, and the gradual entry was perfect for our young kids. We spent hours swimming and fishing, and exploring the corners of the lake with the row boat. Also, we were surprised how much the surrounding area had to offer as far as restaurants, family activities, and fun experiences. We even took a day trip to the coast. The host/owner said the terms and conditions are listed for guests to see prior to arrival, but we couldn't find them on vrbo or in the confirmation emails. It isn't a big deal, but fyi, guests are responsible for all consumables...bring your own toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, paper towels, etc. plus sheets and hand towels. There is a cute general store about 5 min away that has just about anything you might forget. The host was very communicative and supportive throughout the week and graciously answered any questions we had. We could definitely see ourselves returning here!

    We had a beautiful, relaxing week at a wonderful cabin. The boys loved fishing out of the boat and swimming off the dock! We loved disconnecting at a fabulous cabin! Derek made sure everything went smoothly and was a pleasure to deal with!

    Secluded, quiet, peaceful. Everything was cozy and comfortable. The cry of the loon, whippoorwills, bullfrog gulps, jumping fish, diving Herron, and a bathing fawn were the sights and sounds all week. The view is picturesque, especially at sunset and in the morning calm. The bonus is that this pond is unpopulated and serene. The property is excellent and the host is very helpful and responsive. I’ll be back for sure!
