About this property

Beautiful Lakefront near Pleasant Mountain -sleeps 9+

This all season vacation chalet has all the comforts of home and more. ***Message for monthly winter rental rates. Perfect for one or two small families. Listen to the loons while enjoying the view from the wrap around deck, waters edge or private dock. This half acre lot sits directly on the water with a private swimming area and a great outdoor fire pit, making it a unique property.

Waldon Pond is quiet, crystal clear, and deep enough for excellent swimming and fishing. The property has a shallow water entry with steps down from the dock making it safe for kids and enjoyable for adults. Waldon Pond is connected to Hancock Pond for greater exploration by provided canoe, aluminum boat or kayaks.

The first floor also has one bedroom and 3/4 bath. The second floor has a full bath and two bedrooms: one with a queen-size bed & the other 'kids room' has three single beds (or convert two twins to king). The finished basement has table tennis,
two full size futons, a coach that converts to a full bed, a single bunk and a cot with plenty of space for kids to play .

This property is centrally located 30 minutes to North Conway activities, 15 minutes to Shawnee Peak and 30 minutes to Sebago area. Nearby you'll find a beautiful public golf courses, a public playground (1.5 miles away) and miles of hiking & snowmobile trails.

Enjoy this chalet during any season including the winter for cross country skiing, downhill at Shawnee peak, ski-mobiling, or nestling by the wood stove. Sorry, no smoking or pets.

*Please note that due to the remoteness of this location, we ask that guests bring their own linens as we are not able to provide this service in-between guests. Our cottage is our second home and we are happy to share it with you! However, we can not commit to hotel like services or onsite property management for non-emergences. Also, to accommodate the high demand we only do SATURDAY to SATURDAY summer rentals and have monthly winter rental rates upon request.

Great Lake for swimming and water sports

Lake was beautiful. Owners offered lots of options for being on the water- swim float, kayaks, canoe. We had plenary of room in the camp for our family or 4 and two sets of grandparents. Kitchen was updated and had everything you need. Close to North Conway for food and shopping on the rainy days.

Great family vacation!

This house was perfect for our annual vacation. The amenities are what really made it so fun for both adults and kids. Having the finished basement worked great for all the kids to sleep and the kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of space for all. The only negative I could say is the beds were all super uncomfortable. Other than that the house and location was wonderful!

Thank you for the kind review. Yes, as advertised we choose not to have wifi and removed the phone as most guests are repeat and have been able to use their cell and prefer us to keep costs down. Thank you for the four stars and the review. We consider the wifi each year- but decide against it fo those reason. Melissa

Peace and serenity

After a decade and a half summer renting on Cape Cod, and even after last 2 years renting in Maine, the relaxation and tranquility of this place is something to admire. Beautiful and modern house and property, set on a crystal clear lake - and swimming, boating, kayaking, bicycling, marshmallows by the fire pit under stars, etc etc - we couldn’t wish for anything else! Truly hope to be back next year!!

This property is beyond 5 stars!

We are a multigenerational family of 9 adults + a 3 year old. It was a pleasure to find this beautiful property as it can accommodate large groups of all ages very comfortably! All rooms are nicely furnished and freshly painted. The kitchen was large & well equipped. There is an awesome game room for rainy days & plenty of kayaks, canoe and a rowboat for outdoor fun. Water is easy to access too. The water & mountain views are breathtaking! Shops and restaurants are an easy 10-15 minute drive away. Communication with the host was always an immediate reply. We look forward to booking this property again in the future!

Beautiful, remote location.

We loved our stay at this home. We found the place to be very quiet, off the beaten path and yet most of the things we wanted to do within an easy drive. Bridgeton is a fun town. Make sure you stop in to the Queens Head Pub for lunch or dinner. Excellent food. North Conway is always another fun place to be. 90 minute drive and we got to Mt Washington Cog Rail for the trip up the mountain. We saw plenty of our family, and found the layout of this home easily accomodated our group. Nice spot. Well taken care of...did i mention the lake? So nice. And the Loons called out often.

Nice retreat in the woods

There were six adults and three little children for this vacation. There was plenty of room in the house for all nine of us. There were plenty of games in the house for us to use. There were also plenty of boats for us as well. A nice hammock and we all enjoyed the fire pit.Be aware, if you are going to the house in the summer, the house does not have air conditioning. There are plenty of fans in the house, but one night it was extremely hot and we had to use the room in the basement where it was much cooler. You should also be aware that there is no cell service. We were able to text one another with the use of Wi-Fi but we could not make phone calls. The owner, Melissa, was very nice and checked in to make sure everything was all right. She was also very easy to get in touch with.

Peaceful Week On A Lake

We were lucky enough to stumble upon this property upon another's cancelation and we couldn't be more happy that we did. The house had plenty of space for my immediate family (wife and 2 kids) as well as a visitor or 2, and could have easily slept 2 families of 4. The amenities were perfect and even had a lobster pot to make up for the one I forgot. The camp offered plenty to do inside and especially out, from games and books to kayaks and a canoe. The camp was close enough to civilization that on our rain day we were able to go for a drive into the White Mountains of NH and my son and I got to play nine holes at Lake Kezar Country Club. We hope to be able to rent here again, if we are quick enough to get on a reservation in a timely fashion.

Lovely house, pristine lake, perfect for families

Lovely, comfortable house in a perfect location on a perfect pond. Swimming is phenomenal and the loon opera divine—5 loons this summer. We were 3 adults and had plenty of space indoors and out. Good sized deck, part of which is screened in for bug-free evenings. Accommodations include boats, water’s edge chairs & hammock, dock & float, ping-pong table. We didn’t try the TV, darts, ample video/board game options, or cornhole. Internet is reliable. 7-9 can easily sleep comfortably among the many beds and rooms. A real laundry room instead of a W/D stacked in a closet is a bonus. I’d suggest 4-6 adults max. At end August we saw maybe 4 other people on the water during our stay. All-girls Camp Walden is right across and in view, so quiet-seeking renters sans kids should bear that in mind if renting mid-summer. Our daughter did 6 summers as a camper and 2 as a water-ski/canoe counselor—we know and love this location. Some of the equipment was less-than optimal condition, things like books and games were not stored in an orderly or neat way. We were end-of-summer and found the grill and oven really needed a deeper cleaning on arrival, the pots & pans, cooking utensils and such were quite disordered across the various cabinets. We often rent in Maine at end-August and this is not unusual, unfortunately. Melissa is very responsive, really appreciated that. Very nice/friendly neighbors’ loud, extensive construction and excavation/tree removal did calm down by the end of the week.

Kathryn, thank you for your review and we hope to see you again. My apologies, again, for the neighbor’s few days of excavation. It was a rare event to remove trees down from a spring storm and a couple of families rented the equipment together before they headed south for the winter. The loons will miss you and your family.

Worst rental experience ever - renters beware

This was the worst rental experience my family and I have ever had. We have rented properties year after year from Miami to Maine over the past 20+ years and our recent experience in Maine was the worst by far. When we arrived the property was dirty. We immediately used the broom, dustpan and vacuum to clean the floors. There was trash left in the laundry room which we put in a trash bag and took to the dump. Yes this property makes you take your trash and in this case trash that was in the home when we arrived and take it on a long drive to the town dump. I could go on and on. The furniture was worn and damaged (more about that later) and the beds were uncomfortable. There were spiders and cobwebs in most rooms. After we had cleaned the place up to a state better than when we arrived and had left I received an email from the owner claiming we had damaged an old chair that was in the basement and that we had left a bag of trash in the outside trash barrel. She never inspected the property herself, instead it appears she made her claims on the word of her cleaning people and caretaker. She sent a picture of the chair with no pictures from prior to our arrival. We went back and forth and in the end she charged my credit card $300 claiming damages my family did not cause. She stated in her email that the renters before us had done a lot of damage to the property. I wonder how much she charged them after they left. The Worst rental ever. Renters beware.

Great place to relax away from it all

We loved our winter time stay at the Denmark, ME cabin. It was perfect for school vacation week only a short drive to Shawnee Peak which is great for the littles and not too far from bigger mountains like Sunday River. The cabin was great with amazing lake views and convenient for hiking and running. Melissa’s communication was perfect and the caretaker checked in on us a few times and provided any needed help.

Ultimate Relaxation

Loved our time in Denmark. Property had everything we needed and Melissa was always available to answer any questions. Spent a lot of time fishing and kayaking, and it often felt like it was our pond as so few people were in neighboring properties. Spoke to a few neighbors, who were very friendly and offering to help if we needed anything. And on our last full day a spectacular encounter with a beaver.

the best getaway for those of us that like being away from it all - but 20 minutes from the market

we have a family of 10, 3 generations. Melissa's place has 3 main bedrooms , 1 family room , & a small room (that is a cut thru to the outdoors & washing machine / dryer) that can be used for sleeping / privacy. this works perfectly for us in that : 2 couples take a bedroom (queen & full bed), my daughter & 2 grandsons take a bedroom (3 twins), my daughter & my 2 granddaughters take the family room (futon & bunk. bunk =full bed bottom bunk, twin bed upper bunk), & my youngest takes the small room (couch) as a "spot". there are 3 tvs (1 is in the "twin" room) we do not watch much tv , we do play video games. the tv was used mostly for games ( & tapping into the collection of looney toons cartoons) the kitchen is small but we had 3 different cooks working 3 different recipes & we did not step on each other or get in each others way. the kitchen has more than enough dinnerware & utensils. the dishwasher works 2x a day when we were all together. the main space has a cathedral ceiling that makes it feel so much bigger than it is. the screen porch off the dining area & deck was used by ALL OF US at 1 time or another.it was so comfortable having the breeze all around us but the bugs not in our face.not that there was a big bug problem outside, but some of us did get bit while outside.we had an outside fire most nights (with smores!)its nice that there is a picnic table near the fire pit. We did not use the grill more than once so i can not speak for that. being by the water each morning, listening to the loons (& seeing them, either from the cabin or while out paddling) was a HUGE TREAT for all of us. we used the floating dock for group swimming (& wrestling challenges) each day the weather perrmitted.the water is quiet most of the time (there are "camps" that use waldon pond. During our stay, noise from the "camps" affected us 1x).from waldon pond there is access to hancock pond (with portage if the water is low) 1 of us visited hancock pond 2x using the kayak. we stayed for 2 weeks.if not for financials & timing (having more vacation & no schedule conflict) we would stay for 3 weeks or more!mellisa is VERY responsive & a very caring person.we hope to stay at mellisa's place every summer we have!

Even Better...

...than the advert. The kitchen was just what the several cooks in the group could use. Plenty of places for folks to comfortably sleep, play games, read, and to accomplish any of the items on your Vacation List. Watercraft galore ( although no boards - easily remedied by with a call to local Sports Shop, Lake Region Paddle - they even deliver!) right out by the water. No traffic noises, so on a clear night you can hear the universe. A splendid time was had by all. Thanks.

First trip to Maine

My family and I had a great time on our first trip to Maine! When we were not out exploring my boys were out fishing or swimming in the beautiful pond/lake. They water was so clear and surprisingly warm! They caught lots of rather large fish and the provided kayaks and boat were so nice to have provided with our stay since our long drive did not allow us to bring our own. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare any meals and the screened in porch was so nice for morning coffee! We could have easily spent the whole week at the house but since it was our first trip to Maine, we tried to see all we could of such a beautiful state!!!

Get away from it all and unwind

We stayed at this property at the end of August/beginning of September. Our family, 2 adults and 2 children (7 and 4), stayed for a week and my mother came and stayed for 4 nights. There was more than enough space for all of us, with rooms and beds to spare. The kitchen had all the utensils that we needed to prepare our our meals for the week. The owner notified us that the microwave was broken upon our arrival, it was quickly rectified with a new microwave delivered. Our kids enjoyed the DVD collection and some of the toys in the basement game-room. As the listing indicates, this rental does have "all the comforts of home" while also being secluded and a bit rustic. The home is in the woods, surrounded by trees and nature. Loons sang us to sleep each night! You can see the houses on either side through the trees but it is not busy or crowded by any means. We saw a neighbor twice and maybe three boats total on the lake while we were there. The water was a little chilly but it did not stop us from enjoying it to the fullest. We used the provided, canoe, kayak, and SUP board. My daughters enjoyed playing in the shallow water and we all got in and swam to the swim dock and had fun jumping off into the deeper water. As mentioned in the listing, the water is very clear. When we were out swimming near the swim dock we could see all the way down to our feet and you can easily see the bottom at the end of the dock (about 3 1/2 ft). My husband fished almost every day we were there. He switched to smaller hooks and spent an afternoon with our daughters letting them reel in fish after fish (catch and release). The girls were thrilled! The location of the rental is close enough to the Portland area (just over an hour) that we were able to take two day trips to some coastal state parks. There are hiking opportunities very close to the rental as well. We were able to take our daughters on their first ever mountain summit hike on Bald Pate Mountain. The views are absolutely amazing! Maine was on my mother's bucket list and it was also the first time visiting for our whole family. We are so grateful that our home state was one of those listed as exempt from quarantining so that we were able to see and experience the beautiful state of Maine. We will cherish the memories of our stay here at Walden Pond!

Grammy Camp 2020

Grammy rented this property to create a new family tradition for her grandchildren that resembled the 25 years of a lakefront rental with her children. The house was perfect for 6 active children under 10. Lots of swimming in a clear lake, lots of boating in canoe, kayaks, paddle board, pedal boat and row boat, and plenty of relaxing with movies and games and beautiful loons day and night. Marty the Moose added the rustic Maine note. This was Grammy's retirement gift to herself and she was happy that everyone was happy. Hope to return next summer and the summer after.

Amazing property!

We went to this property for one week at the end of June and beginning of July and had such a fabulous time there. The cabin is clean and spacious and has every amenity we could possibly need. The setting is picture perfect, and the lake is ideal for children with its shallow edges and warm water. The variety of water craft provided hours of endless fun. We especially enjoyed the fire pit on the many lovely evenings, sitting by the fire and listening to the loons out on the lake. We had a couple of rainy days, but with the many games provided, the ping pong table, and cable TV, we were never bored. It was absolutely ideal!! We hope to rent the property again sometime soon.

“Little Oasis”

This property was absolutely beautiful!! We went with our whole family, including 5 small children, all of whom had an absolute blast! The house was very clean and there was enough room for all of us! The kids loved Marty the moose! Although we brought our own paper goods, soaps, linens, etc., the house was stocked with everything you would need! The pond is gorgeous. We loved hearing the Loons throughout the day, and watching the people learn how to water ski! The guys fished a lot throughout the week and got some good size bass! We used the paddle boats a lot and we finally learned to paddle board! The kids LOVED swimming to the dock in the water! We loved having fires at night, it was so peaceful. The neighbors are extremely nice and welcoming. The owner has quick response times to messages and very helpful. She was very nice! Our family had the vacation we have needed for a long time! The bonding and experiences we will carry with us forever! Thank you so much for this amazing vacation!
