The Denmark Stage Stop House offers 2 different types of accommodations where guests that arrived as strangers often leave as friends over the last 5 years since we opened our doors. Now that our very busy summer season has passed The Denmark Stage Stop is looking forward to a more peaceful and some say the best time of the year in Maine – Autumn! The experts are promising us vivid colors this Fall due to a drought we experienced earlier in the year.
I am always looking forward to hosting great people so I’ll be waiting for an inquiry from you and we can start discussing some more details from there.
Winter has arrived with 3 feet of snow in November and Shawnee Peak opening early than ever before on December 1, 2018.
The Denmark Stage Stop and our Bungalow Cottage is in the heart of it all with very family friendly Shawnee Peak Ski and Snowboard Resort only 5.4 miles away and miles of snowmobiling trails throughout Denmark and Bridgton. Also close by is Five Fields Farm with great cross-country and snowshoeing trails.
The Bridgton Cottage is a studio style stand alone cottage that sleeps no more than 4 people with a large private bathroom with antique Clawfoot soaking tub. The Bridgton Cottage offers 1 amazingly comfortable top of the line double bed and a couch that converts to 2 twin beds. When you arrive you shouldn't miss our adorable and cozy Bridgton Cottage with its yellow exterior, green roof and purple door!
The Shawnee Suite, which offers up to date modern accommodations offers 2 bedrooms and sleeps up to 6 people. Bedroom 1 has a brand new, so comfortable (so our guests tell us) Queen bed and Bedroom 2 has a bunk style bed with double bed on the bottom and twin bed on top. The living room couch converts to 2 twin beds. Our Shawnee Suite also has a beautifully appointed kitchen with gas range and oven, full size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and more.
