Nothing Beats Summer in Maine on 7 Acres in Maine - Dogs Welcome! Work Remotely

Welcome to our Shawnee Accommodations at The Denmark Stage Stop House!
Our Shawnee accommodations is a private apartment with a private entrance, designated parking and a large yard dedicated to our Shawnee guests. The Shawnee is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with a fully equipped full kitchen. We are dog friendly too, allowing up to 2 dogs per party.

The living space is open concept to include the kitchen so no one misses out on the fun being had by family and friends. The living space opens directly to your large outdoor space and yard complete with a gas grill with side burner and outdoor seating. The couch in the Shawnee also converts to 2 twin beds for added guests. The Shawnee accommodates no more than 6 guests at any one time. The Shawnee has a large 4K Fire TV that can be viewed throughout the room, including the kitchen. We have also upgraded the 2 Alexa speakers in the living room so you may enjoy Amazon’s Unlimited Music or your favorite Sirius XM radio stations. We also have many board games, etc. for kids and adults, some may also be played adding Alexa as a player. Additionally, there is also an old fashioned WII with a few WII games.

The living space is also home to “Sweepy”. “Sweepy” is our brand new Robot Vacuum to make is so easy for our guests to clean up when necessary and it couldn’t be easier, just ask Alexa to have Sweepy vacuum for you. Another extra for our guests is a speaker that connects remotely to Alexa to bring music from Amazon’s Unlimited Music or Sirius XM outside with you, while you are barbecuing for relaxing outdoors.

The Shawnee kitchen is fully equipped with a full size refrigerator, gas stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave and many added small appliances. There are 3 different types of coffee makers consisting of an auto drip, Keurig or French Press to satisfy everyone’s taste for coffee. We supply the coffee for the auto drip, so if you have favorite Keurig flavors and brands please bring them along. We also have a selection of teas for our guests to enjoy. Some of the small appliances in the kitchen include a new Instant Pot with accessories, toaster, blender, juicer, bagel slicer, pancake/waffle/omelet maker, and more. For those that are cooking or baking up something special if you need a Kitchenaide mixer - just ask me.

The master bedroom in the Shawnee has a Queen bed and another 4K Fire TV for those that like to relax in bed watching their favorite movie or TV show. We also offer high quality bed linens for our guests. BTW all your beds will be made upon your arrival so if you arrive late and are desperately in need of a good nights sleep after traveling, all you need to do is pull back the covers and crawl in. Many of our guests rave about how comfortable this bed is.

The second bedroom has a bunk style bed with a full bed on the bottom and a single bed on top. And of course, there is another 4K Fire TV in this bedroom too, so if you are traveling with children they can watch their own shows too.

The bathroom is a favorite of so many guests, mostly due to the large size and the antique clawfoot tub that allows for a luxurious soak for those needing to relax, It is also a shower as well for those shower people. The bathroom linen closet is fully stocked with plenty of high quality towels for our guests. We do not however provide beach towels, so if a visit to the beach is part of your plans please bring along some beach towels as our towels are not to be taken to the beach. The bathroom also has a heated toilet seat as well as a heated towel rack and an electric fireplace heater for those looking for little ambiance and added warmth while enjoying that long soak.

Alexa (Echo Devices) are provided in each room of the Shawnee, however for those that do not want Alexa all you need to do is unplug her.

We also take our guests' safety very seriously too, therefore there are smoke and carbon monoxide detectors along with gas detectors. Please note none of these are to be deactivated for have battery removed at any time unless you have created an alert for cooking and after silencing the alarm(s) please replace. These alarms alert the entire building further ensuring everyone’s safety.

While on the subject of safety, while Covid is not the threat it once was, we realize it is still very much a concern and we have continued our Covid cleaning practices to protect our guests and our staff. You can be assured every surface is cleaned and sanitized properly to kill the Covid virus along with any other bacteria and viruses.

While we are definitely DOG FRIENDLY we have one very strict rule that we expect everyone to respect. NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON FURNITURE OR BEDDING - EVER!! Please realize we have other travelers that visit that have sensitivities and allergies to dog hair and their dander so we have to be considerate to all. All dogs must be leashed when outside and on the property.

We have great WiFi, strong enough for those working remotely. We are also open to those wanting longer stays allowing them to work and vacation simultaneously. We have had many past guests that did just that and had no problems with an online meetings or work requirements. I worked remotely from here for 4 years with no issues with the exception of the rare outage by our provider Spectrum, which we have no control over.

Please feel free to ask us any questions anytime and if you are interested in a longer term stay up to 3 months – let's talk.

We are surrounded by so much fun as we are located in Maine's Lake Region. There are numerous lakes and ponds, hiking trails, Shawnee Peak Ski and Snowboard Resort is only 5.4 miles away. We are also only 25 minutes from North Conway, New Hampshire and the White Mountains.

For Travel Nurses and Traveling Healthcare workers coming to the area we are only 6 miles from the Bridgton Hospital with many other area hospitals within driving distance. Traveling Healthcare workers can see more on Furnish Finder and others.

Lovely Property in the Middle of it all
My family went to Maine to hit up some local rockhounding sites and chose this location as it was centrally located. We were able to hit up areas from Moat Mountain, Harvard Quarry, and Mt. Apatite quickly from here. On the hotter days, we swam locally (5 mins) or further (Diane's Baths in NH). The property is gorgeous and away from it all, but still close enough to hit up local stores when needed. Deborah was a lovely host and helped us with anything that came up. Also worth noting for any astronomy people, this area has low enough light pollution to see the Milky Way with the naked eye.

Little touches go a long way
Clean, well-appointed accommodations suited our needs just fine. Little touches like a well-stocked kitchen and included amenities made for a very convenient stay. Owner was helpful, available and welcoming.

Great time!
We had a lovely family get away on a holiday weekend. We enjoyed nearby hikes, saw the sunset over a pond, cooked dinner in one night, played scrabble, and start gazed. Very sweet time including my almost three year old son and our little dog.

About the host

Hosted by DL Mahan

Host profile image
Originally from Massachusetts. I have always loved Maine, no matter what season. We always had a vacation home in Bridgton Maine. When I returned from Florida, I choose to find a home in Maine for myself, my horses and dogs. I grew up skiing Shawnee Peak AKA Pleasant Mountain. I am only 2.5 hours from Boston, MA when I need a little bit of city life.

I found a home that was over 200+ years with pastures and a barn. After 10 years of remodeling, including actually moving the house back further into the fields, I think I am almost done. We have blended old and new and I am quite pleased with the end result. The Bungalow Cottage stands where the original part of my home used to be located until 2010.

We opened our house up to guests in 2013 and have loved every second of it. Never dreamed we would get so busy so fast. From June till about the first week of November we are just about solidly booked and love every second of it, meeting so many great people from the all over the world.

As a professional Home Energy Auditor since 2004, making this old and new home energy efficient was our first priority and we definitely succeeded there.

Being an animal owner and lover "forever" it was important to me that guests had a place to bring their dog and now our guests may bring their horse along as well. We are very pet friendly (dogs, horses only).

We have many guests stay with us in the past years while on a home buying journey in Maine's Lakes Region, so to that end I have activated my Associate Broker real estate license in Maine after having held an active real estate license in Mass since 2004. If you are actively seeking to purchase a home, whether it is a vacation property, investment property, retirement home or your forever home, let's talk real estate while you are here! Not only can you rest your head head at The Denmark Stage Stop House at the end of a day of house hunting, but I would be happy to assist you in finding that fits your needs and dreams.

Why they chose this property

Denmark Stage Stop House, equestrian estate cradled between Mt Washington Valley & Bridgton Maine. Perfect location for winter sports - Shawnee Peak Ski and Snowboard Resort is 5.4 miles away. Surrounded by Maine towns Bridgton, Fryeburg, Sebago, Naples & Brownfield, Maine. New this year bring your horse – additional fees apply (spring/summer/fall only). Whether you like skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and more - we are in the heart of it. Accommodations for visiting Bridgton Academy parents.

We believe you don’t have to “rough it” to experience the true “Maine Experience” and our accommodations are constantly updated and designed realizing that after a full day of activities in Maine, they deserve comfort and a little bit of luxury when they return after a long day of fun! We offer comfortable bedding and bed linens to give you the nights rest our guests deserve. We offer many little extras that you won’t find elsewhere, because our guests deserve it and it is what makes our guests return year after year and season after season. To this end we provide air conditioning in all rooms except bathrooms. Don’t be fooled by other accommodations that tell you “you don’t need air conditioning in Maine.”, because you do - it gets very hot in Maine with temperatures often in the high 80’s & 90’s during Maine summers.

If you want to be truly treated as a guest, we do that here at the Denmark Stage Stop House and always will!!

What makes this property unique

Alexa in every unit!
Only 5.4 miles from Shawnee Peak
10 minutes from the Saco River for a great canoeing, kayaking or tubing experience.
10 - 15 minutes from Bridgton Academy
25 minutes from North Conway, NH
45 minutes from Storyland in Glen, NH

We have many guests that stay with us for repeated stays in the past years while on a home buying journey in Maine's Lakes Region, so to that end I have activated my Associate Broker real estate license in Maine after having held an active real estate license in Massachusetts since 2004. If you are actively seeking to purchase a home, whether it is a vacation property, investment property, retirement home or your forever home, let's talk real estate while you are here! Not only can you rest your head at The Denmark Stage Stop House at the end of a day of house hunting, but I would be happy to assist you in finding that fits your needs and dreams.

NEW THIS YEAR! We are pet friendly! Not only can you bring your dog but for horse lovers, we are allowing our guests to bring 1 or 2 horses to enjoy our lush green pastures. Contact us for more details and fees if you wish to bring your horse. After owning horses since I was 4 years old I sadly find myself horseless after having lost my last 2 horses this past 1.5 years. While we do have people that board their horses with us we cannot guarantee that there will be horses here at the time of your visit, but there is a good likelihood there will be.

If you are a travel nurse our accommodations are available for longer term stays from fall through spring, so whether you are a traveling nurse, traveling physician or other healthcare professional looking for temporary housing we have accommodations to suit your needs.

Sleeps 6. The Denmark Stage Stop House, offers pet friendly (dogs only) accommodations on a private equestrian estate in Denmark Maine, is where you want to be if you are looking for great accommodations while visiting the Bridgton Maine area.
