About this house rental
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.

My brother and I were traveling for our Uncle's funeral. We were thrilled to find the Perkins House was available. The house reminded us of our grandparents house in Harrison, ME. It brought us back in time to days of our childhood. I definitely want to return with my family to enjoy the Lakewood Theatre and the lake.

This cottage was a perfect place for my mother-in-law and I to stay while visiting family in the area. The beds were very comfortable and the cottage is in a very quiet location.
Easy access/check-in and good description of how to find the place and park.

I had to travel back to Maine for a family funeral unexpectedly and needed to take my two dogs. Not wanting to place more burden on family, I quickly looked for a VRBO in the area. Finding the Perkins house and the Olive Street community was exactly what it needed to feel at home during this difficult homecoming.
The houses are maintained in true Maine style, nothing fancy, nothing modern, nothing more needed! It was clean, comfortable, and Dawnella made it feel very welcoming. Just like walking into a family home.
Area is convenient to shopping and a short walk to the theater and lake. But the biggest step you will take is back to a simpler time.

Location was perfect for the area we wanted to explore.
The house served our needs as far as somewhere to have a meal and sleep.
Nice areas to walk.
Close to the lake. (Only a small spot that isn't private property)
Restaurant was close(we didn't get the opportunity to eat there)
We didn't realize there wasn't a TV but it was okay. Unplugging can be a good thing
Lakewood Theater close (we didn't see a show)
Lots of history
Could have used more towels and wash clothes (we purchased some and left there)
Upstairs doesn't have a lot of lighting (floor lamp wasn't working)
Could have used some hooks in the bathroom.
Nice place for a get away.
