the Corner cottage: Overlooking Hayden Brook, Steps to Lakewood Summer Theater

The adorable Corner cabin is a true piece of Lakewood Theater history. Charles F. Perkins was a very renowned and longtime (from 1912-1955) scenic designer at Lakewood, and his son, James, was an actor in several productions from 1932 - 1940. We purchased this camp in 2020 from James' daughter Barbara, and we love to imagine the creative meetings that took place there & the possibly very interesting guests. Many of the family antiques remain, and we have kept it decorated in the spirit of the Perkins eras in the hope to transport its guests back to a simpler time. With two bedrooms and space for roll-out cot, it will sleep four to five. There is a sunny kitchen, sitting room (complete with turntable & old records), bath and lovely screened porch as well, along with a beautiful grassy yard - a portion of which is one of the three common gardens in our cooperative and includes young apple trees and blueberry bushes. There is direct shared access to Hayden Brook across the road. The community bridge over Hayden Brook further down makes for a very short and pleasant walk to Lakewood Theater, Restaurant, and Lake Wesserunsett. The also famous Lakewood Golf Course is less than half a mile away.

Just right cabin!
We’re here for a horse show at the state fairgrounds and this place was just right for our needs.

corner country cottage
My husband and I were visiting family close by. We also did an atv ride which was a short drive from the cottage. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The little loop of cottages was quiet and relaxing. There are many activities in the area. The cottage is close to Skowhegan, so you can get groceries there is a Walmart and Dunkins, yet it's out enough that it feels private and country like. The screened in porch was very nice. A short walk away and you are at the lake.

Late season stay
My wife and I were delighted to find this late season stay in Lakewood. We mentioned to the hosts that we enjoyed the show at the Lakewood Theater during a previous stay in the area. Before we knew it, she'd gotten us tickets for the bonus, end of season show at the theater. And she made reservations for us at the Lakewood Inn for dinner. The evenings were a bit cool for us Texans so the new electric space heater was greatly appreciated!

Clean and quiet
This stay was nice. I enjoyed my time in a clean and comfortable little house. The interior was made to be old fashioned and was decorated nicely still maintaining an modern feel. A microwave wolves been nice to have in the kitchen, but other than that it was nice.

Step back in Time!
Was nice to get away from more of the modern "conveniences". Some of the pieces looked like they could have been shown in a museum, almost scared to use some things. Beds were a little soft for my taste. Walking around the neighborhood was scenic, especially crossing the common bridge after a heavy rain. Biggest surprise was how the clear the water was at the lake. Biggest regret was not eating the small tomatoes growing in the planter boxes, they were blown off the plant during the storm and some lucky deer probably got them (only 3 were ready)

Very intimate family setting
We wanted a little family vacation get away and we loved it because there was no tv to distract us from spending quality time together. The house was the perfect size. It is an older house and well decorated just had to put up a few things which was no big deal because our 1 year old son gets into everything. The grounds were beautifully kept and my son and husband took many strolls around the area. Stores were close and the lake is walking distance. Overall it was a great experience and exactly what our little family needed.
