About this cottage rental
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 sounds of 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).

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
The host was very easy to communicate with and responded promptly and clearly. The place was clean and well organized. The lake was peaceful and relaxing. The pine scent from the surrounding trees in the morning was wonderful. Definitely off the grid; no cell coverage. The WiFi worked well on parts of the property, but not all, which actually helped us unplug. The only flaw was the absence of air conditioning, which I imagine is not normally an issue in Maine but made for some discomfort during a heat wave in August despite the fans that the host provided. Shower could use a bit more water pressure but, given the location, quite reasonable. Location was close to towns with restaurants and grocery stores. Beaches and Portland are about an hour away. For EV owners, superchargers are close enough to alleviate any range anxiety.Recommended!

Relaxing!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
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.
