About this property

A beautiful lakefront cottage, situated on a private cove on Parker Pond in Mount Vernon, Maine. Parker Pond is part of the pristine Belgrade Lakes and is the perfect spot for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, boating, swimming, and other summer activities. The lake is mostly quiet with occasional loon calls and bald eagles. Relax on your outdoor deck or waterfront dock.

Our cottage is a cozy spot for an individual guest, a family, or many friends to enjoy summer on a clear, freshwater lake. Enjoy swimming and other water sports or relax on the dock with a good book. Finish off the day grilling up your favorite meal on the deck (propane included) or sitting by the firepit (wood included). Our home is your home! You will have access to kayaks, a canoe, and life jackets -- and of course, a dock on the lake! We have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and can accommodate six guests.

We often stay a short distance away from the cottage where our guests will be staying. We will be close by many days of the summer months and may be available to assist you or recommend local restaurants. Our neighbors on the lake are very friendly as they pass by on boats or kayaks.

Our cottage is located five minutes from a general convenience store and the Post Office Cafe. A twenty minute drive will bring you to local shopping, a movie theater, and a grocery store. Plenty of hikes nearby and quintessential Maine blueberry picking along every shoreline.

Wish I was still there….

The privacy and peaceful cabin were exactly what we needed in the vacation. The cabin is in a very private cove of the lake which was perfect. The deck overlooking the water was awesome. The kids had a blast swimming and playing in the wood. At night we made camp fires and were even able to see the beautiful meteor shower! Andrea was a great host and we will definitely want to stay again! Thank you!

A Loon Retreat

My husband and I stayed at Andrea and Gregs during the last week of June. While the weather was a bit uncooperative (rain all but one day), we still had a fabulous time. We arrived late in the evening and were greeted by the calls of the Loons. They enchanted us with their sounds all week. We used the canoe provided to explore the pond and the water was actually warm enough to take a swim. The camp is a knotty pine, cozy haven. When it wasn't raining, we sat out on the fabulous deck for coffee and cocktails. We didn't see or hear anything but loons for the first 4 days on the lake. Our intent was to cook at home every night and we were amazed at how well the kitchen was equipped and that the knives were actually sharp! The camp is tucked away with total privacy, yet close enough to many wonderful Maine farm stands, golf and quaint towns. Andrea and Greg take great care of this camp and it shows. We would definitely recommend staying here to others and we would like to return someday.

Peaceful Retreat

This cottage is exactly what we were looking for while in the area for several family events. A place to unwind after each event. In the days there we were able to enjoy kayaking on Parker Pond with the kayaks that were provided. We loved sitting on the beautiful deck overlooking the water. What a gorgeous view!! We will definitely come back and stay here again.

Very Special Location

Parker Pond is a beautiful little gem, nestled deep in Maine piney woods. This cabin is beautiful, spotless, well equipped and rigorously maintained. The owners are super friendly and super responsive in the unlikely event you need any support from them. We kayaked and canoed with the equipment provided. We saw loons and deer and a great blue heron and turtles and tons of fish. Everyone in our party loved this place. Highest recommendation!

About the host

Your host

Our family purchased the home next door 13 years ago, and have been coming up each summer with our three children. Parker Pond is unique in its conservation efforts, making it an unspoiled destination. We bought this cottage and its 550 ft of lake frontage and private cove two years ago, and love sharing it with family and friends. Our children are in their 20's and still spend a great amount of time with us each summer at Parker. We look forward to sharing this beautiful setting with you!

Why they chose this property

We have made significant upgrades this past season including a brand new 650 sq. ft. deck, a Rinnai heater and many cottage upgrades. Our renters loved them and we know you will too!!

What makes this property unique

This cottage allows couples or families to experience a pristine, quiet lake, centrally located for a relaxing vacation. A place where kids can experience the unspoiled beauty of Maine in a private cove with unsurpassed lakefront views. Ideal for water sports, relaxing on the dock or taking day trips throughout Maine.
