About this property

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).

The cottage had all we needed to have a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful week at the cottage, there was just two of us. The lake was all we hoped it would be as we like to fish and use our boats to enjoy the water. We spent a few days on day trips went clamming at state park in Georgetown. Would highly recommend this place if you want a restful vacation. Hank & Diane

Relaxing Week on Hancock Pond

We loved our week on Hancock Pond! The house was great. We spent the week hanging out on the back deck, canoeing, swimming, and enjoying the campfire. The house is on a small peninsula surrounded by trees, so there's enough privacy between neighbors. I enjoyed hearing the loons sing across the pond. I would definitely recommend this house for a family vacation. Thank you!!

Beautiful spot on a private lake!

We had the best, most relaxing vacation ever! House was very clean and extremely organized. Owner had everything you needed indoors and out. Our 3 young children entertained themselves all week swimming and playing outside. It's a perfect place for a family that wants to get away and relax. Plenty of hiking and exploring to do in close vicinity. One week was definitely not enough. Looking forward to going back next summer!!

Relaxing Vacation!

We stayed for a week - family with 3 teenagers. The house is right on the lake - it's a nice and quiet area, not crowded. The house had everything we needed. We went fishing every day and played ping pong many nights. We went to a drive-in movie theater in Bridgton - it's open every night. Also did a day trip to Portland and Freeport. Since the house is in the woods, it was never too hot.

Cozy, Comfortable, And Peaceful

Edgeset in Denmark, ME is a great spot for four season vacationing. The surrounding area is replete with any and all manner of outdoor activities, yet away from the throngs of fellow travelers and tourists. The owners make every effort to provide affordable, comfortable, and peaceful lodging. We always felt well looked after by the owner and property manager, yet not intrusively in any way. It is well worth the price and we expect to return.

Summer Fun

This was our second year staying at Edgeset. The house has everything you need. Once you've been to the grocery store you can sit back and relax. The water is clean and warm for Maine standards and the wildlife is entertaining.Magic Lantern in Bridgeton this visit. Beautiful Old Style theater for both movies and live performances and at an affordable price. Thank you, Ron and Regina for sharing Edgeset with us.

Lovely, relaxing week

We vacationed here with a total of 6 people (4 adults and two children). Lake was beautiful and the house is well equipped with boats and water toys. The first floor of the house has been nicely updated. We all agreed that we have never been to such a well stocked home. All home necessities, from aluminum foil to dish soap to trash bags to toilet paper and paper towels were present. We enjoyed the firepit each evening and watching the hummingbirds during the days. We really don't have any complaints, and would certainly return in the future.

Pure serenity

Pictures of this property do not do it justice, it's beautiful and very peaceful! The house is well appointed and extremely clean. The house sits up on a little bit of a hill, so the view is wide, even with a few trees obstructing. Water was very clear, and not too cold in June, the kids loved jumping off the dock. We used the row boat and kayak which was nice to have available. Only downside would be there is no available boat rental service to this pond, which can be seen as an upside, since it is quieter!

Fantastic Week!!!!

Ron and Regina are wonderful Hosts, always available for questions and very helpful in the planning process. The cabin is beautiful, our first visit. First but not last. My family and extended family all loved it and have requested us to rent again next summer. The house is clean and cozy. Everything you could possibly need is there. Plenty of dishes to entertain. Quiet and serene atmosphere and the water was warm!! Doesn't happen often in Maine! I would suggest going to the grocery store before you get there, because you won't want to leave !!!!

This place so perfect!

Wish we could keep it a secret because we would wish it to be available just for us we loved it so much! We were 2 sisters just looking for relaxation, time together, catching up our knitting stash, and seeing fall colors. We got it in spades. Cabin richly appointed, beautiful remodel, everything you’d ever want. Top bang for your buck. The views and situation on the lake are unbelievable. All the networks and electronic viewing including Netflix. Amazon, and premium channels. The fireplace was wonderful. The kitchen with everything you’d ever want or need. Privacy and quiet but easy access to town for needs. Our favorite cider place, literally down the street, Randall orchards. The best cider in the world. And our fav lobster rolls at the lobster place in Bridgeton. To die for! Beds comfortable. Stairs a bit steep and narrow to top floor with bedrooms, but doable for even us 60 type people. Only drawback is must go downstairs to living area for bathroom for midnight needs. 🤣. We are planning return visits with Hubbies and/or kids. Thank you Hershey’s for a beautiful home that you shared.

A slice of heaven in good old Maine

My son and I wanted to get away on a lakefront property and totally "unplug" and unwind. This property was just what the doctor ordered; a spectacular view of Hancock Pond, inside and outside stone fire place with plenty of cut wood, comfy beds, and a well equipped kitchen. We wish we could have stayed longer, but four days was enough to get a taste of true R&R.

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!
