About this property
Private Point On Beautiful Hancock Pond, House Is Only Steps Away From The Water
Edgeset is located on Hancock Pond in Denmark, Maine. (Ponds can be very large in Maine - this one happens to be approximately 2 miles across!) This vacation home was constructed in 1966 and has been a favorite vacation site for the Hershey family and many other families since that time. The property consists of approximately 1.5 acres of wooded land and 250' of water frontage. The front deck is about 30' from the water's edge and has a wonderful view looking south over the lake.
Edgeset is a great place to relax and just get away from our busy of lives. Enjoy a swim in the clear lake water (you can often see the bottom at up to 10' deep). Take a canoe ride to enjoy the beautiful scenery as well as the local wildlife, you typically will encounter at least one of the following: loons, eagles, Mergansers, Bass and many more. Or maybe you want to go for a walk/hike in the woods, there are many options to choose from.
The home itself is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house/cabin that is a great place to be in every season. It has beds for up to 7 people (queen, full/double, 3 twins with one twin as an upper bunk), a washer & dryer, fireplace, ping pong table and a large deck. In 2017, the first floor underwent a major renovation that included a complete kitchen remodel with new appliances, a new bathroom, and new flooring. All of which enhance the Maine lake experience! The closest store is Jimbob's general store that has a little bit of everything and is about 4 miles from the house. For additional shopping including grocery stores, hardware store and all kinds of unique shops the town of Bridgton ME is about 10 miles from Edgeset.
Want to go and explore the area? This vacation rental is centrally located between the Coastal beaches of Maine and the White Mountain Range in New Hampshire & Western Maine, either are within an hour drive. So you have many choices to choose from, a day at the beach, a drive to the top of Mount Washington, a local hike, swimming in a refreshing mountain stream, oh and if need be, plenty of shopping! Shawnee Peak Ski resort is just a short 10 minute drive away.
So contact us today to book your week (or weeks because one is never long enough).

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ron & Regina Hershey
Ron spent summers at this home while growing up. After attending college at the University of Colorado, Ron lived in Colorado for 23 years. Ron now lives in Pennsylvania with wife, Regina, who also owns and runs the property.
Why they chose this property
The location of this property is perfect for many reasons. It faces south, so it is warmer when the weather is cool (northerly winds don't blow on us) and cooler when the weather is warm (southerly breezes blow up the lake at the house). It is also located within an hour drive of the Maine beaches and the big mountains in NH and western ME.
What makes this property unique
Hancock Pond is known for great fishing, clear water, and being the perfect size for all sorts of water activities including boating of all types - kayaking, canoeing, sailing, water skiing, tubing, jet skiing, etc. - snorkeling, swimming, and just about anything else you might like to do on the lake! Edgeset is situated on a point with water on 3 sides and a first-rate fire pit on the point. Because Edgeset is located on a double size lot, the property is rather private. A great way to escape or enjoy reconnecting with family and friends!
