About this property

Classic Maine Cottage on Water's Edge

We purchased our dream property in May 2019 and have been hard at work making it perfect for our rentersj. We just started taking reservations on July 4th, 2019 and are excited to share our slice of heaven with you. Wake up to the call of the loons off the expansive back deck overlooking quaint Parker Pond. Updated, fido friendly, classic Maine Cottage just feet from the water's edge. Open dining/living room with a wall of windows overlooking the deck and water. Sit by the fire pit and roast marshmallows on warm summer nights or get cozy next to the indoor fireplace on cool nights. Kayak to the middle island or into Pleasant lake or launch your boat for water skiing or cruising around the lake. Front shallow beach area is perfect for families with little ones to keep an eye on.

***NEW***
After a small project became a much larger one, guests at The Fox Den will be met with a BRAND NEW updated kitchen with new refrigerator, microwave and we have added an oven, dishwasher and disposal. We have vaulted the ceilings in the kitchen giving an open feel and renovated the bathroom including a full-size shower. The bunk room has been transformed as well into a built-in loft sleeping space with queen daybed and twin trundle bed underneath. The cottage has received an exterior facelift as well with a new paint job that makes it the quintessential navy and white New England lake house.

Great House
House was comfortable and well stocked. We had a great time relaxing on the porch, kayaking, and going on a few local hikes. Would absolutely stay here again! The acorns falling from the oak trees also make the best kerplunk sounds when they hit the water.

Charming Lake cottage
Even after a disagreement with owner I can’t find much bad to say about this beautiful cottage on a beautiful lake. Very clean and well thought out. Pretty much all brand new. Only drawbacks I could find would be the road noise can be a little loud at night when it’s very quiet outside and maybe better living room furniture as well as outdoor furniture this all being said if I could I would give 4 1/2 stars if I had the option. Even after our disagreement

Love the Fox Den
This was our second stay at The Fox Den. Love this place. Fenced yard is a great plus with our two dogs. Had perfect weather for swimming and kayaking this year. Mayberry Hill and Jugtown forest are really close to hike with the dogs. Got breakfast and whoopie pies from Kindred Farms pretty much every day. The kitchen remodel made a great vacation spot even better. Can't wait to come back.

Perfect Stay!
The pictures just don't do it justice. Beautiful property and so, so peaceful. Loved the large deck. My dog loved being able to be free during our travels. We were in luck to see a full moon over the lake and ill never forget it. This city gal could get used to that life. So spacious and clean. Lovingly taken care of and I'm so grateful to have found it. Thank you for a wonderful stay! And if you're thinking about booking this space, you won't be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Eileen Fox

Host profile image
Lake life holds many fond memories for our family. Mike grew up in Portland, ME and traveled to the lakes region with his grandparents as a child. Tooling around in his fishing troller and roasting marshmallows with the other kids at camp is a memory he wanted to pass on to our kids. Eileen grew up in Maryland and spent winter weekends skiing in Western Maryland and summers learning to waterski on Deep Creek Lake. After moving to Denver in 1996, we always dreamed of owning a lake house to pass on the traditions we held so dear in our hearts.

Why they chose this property

As soon as we stepped foot on the deck of The Fox Den we knew this was the property we had been searching for. The community feel of Parker Pond and proximity to all the Lakes Region has to offer made this the perfect spot to call our own. We knew this was where we wanted make memories as a family and to provide others with the opportunity to experience the magic of Parker Pond.

What makes this property unique

Watching the sun dance off the water and reflect on the ceiling of the living room in the morning is cathartic. Neighbors waving as they float by on kayaks and paddleboards enhances the community feel of the lake. Paddling over to the island and exploring the campsites and history of the Casco region will keep you coming back for more.
