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.

Lake Side Retreat

Had a wonderful stay at the Fox Den with my family. The location on the water was great, and my kids couldn't get enough of jumping off the dock. The house is set up great for inside and outside enjoyment and the view from deck is great.

Eileen was absolutely amazing handling a mix up in cleaner scheduling. She was easy to communicate with and quickly remedied the mix up. Beautiful house that comfortably slept my grown children and grandkids, as well as our 2 family dogs. Outside set up was amazing - plenty to do and so nice to have our boat right on the dock!!! Can’t say enough how great this place is.

Awesome property!

What an awesome property! The views of the lake are stunning and the property is so quiet and peaceful, not to mention close to restaurants and activities. The interior has been tastefully updated, yet still has that traditional Maine cabin vibe, with a wonderful wood burning fireplace and spacious master suite! In addition, the property is super clean from end to end, and Eileen was super responsive and on top of everything! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Second Stay

Came back to stay at this lovely property with family for a second time. Great spot for all ages - this time we had adults of various ages, 4yo, 8mo, and a dog. The sandy beach and convenient dock make outside time so easy and so enjoyable. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfection on Parker

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fox Den on Parker Pond. We swam, kayaked , fished, and relaxed! A couple of local hikes, and we hit Kindred Farms a few times, which did not disappoint. Best whoopie pies we've ever had. A great place to unwind and de-stress.

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.

This was our third time renting this property. Every time we arrive there is always some type of upgrade. NOT that it needs it. You can see and feel the pride of ownership that the host has. It checks every single box you could ever ask for in a lake front rental. My wife and family had another amazing time at this beautiful property. We are already planning for next year there, even though we haven’t even finished unpacking the truck from this vacation there!

Gorgeous

Beautiful home with everything you need. Honestly, all you need is the view to lull you to relaxation. Plenty to do around the area but if you want to kayak, fish and read this is the place to do it. The hosts couldn't have been any nicer.

Property was as advertised very clean and nicely updated. Only negative feedback was mattress covers were stained and two main beds were not very comfortable. Overall the cottage was very tastefully done and very clean which was very important to us.

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.

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.
