About this house rental

This lovely lakeside home features three bedrooms and sleeps seven comfortably. There is a large open living room overlooking the lake with a parlor propane stove in the corner and a dining area leading out to the upper deck. The spacious kitchen has a gas stove top, an electric oven, a microwave, a free-standing island, and is fully loaded with all the cooking equipment you'll need. The master bedroom on the first floor sports a king-sized bed and a direct entry to the upper deck. The master bath is newly-renovated, with a tub/shower combination. Upstairs are two more bedrooms containing two queen-size beds and a single, with another bathroom between them.

This home comes with air conditioning (yes, occasionally even desired in Maine!), cable, and wi-fi. The upper deck just outside the dining area connects to a lower deck, which is practically on the water. From there it's a few steps to the dock, where you can jump in or launch the two kayaks provided.

Many people think of a "pond" as being a small swimming hole. But Taylor Pond is a pristine Maine lake about a mile and a half long and three quarters of a mile wide. It's big enough for swimming, boating and fishing, but small enough to be not crowded with large motor boats or jet skis. Although you'll feel like you're "away from it all" here, you are only 10 minutes away from local shopping, cinema, golf and mini-golf. Also within easy reach are restaurants of every variety, from fast-food to elegant. The Bates College campus is also only 10 minutes away. Come enjoy the best of both worlds!

We stay in many, many vrbo’s. We live less than 12 miles from Taylor Pond and wanted a place to relax with family and friends. You cannot find a nicer spot! House is spotless and has a wonderful kitchen, grill, docks and swimming. I went swimming and it was so clean. Let me tell you the best part…..the loons! If you want to get away close to Southern Maine, look no further. The hosts live next door and were very nice.

We loved our stay here. The house is wonderful and well cared for, one of the most well stocked rentals I have ever stayed in. Cute neighborhood, right on the water, and the hosts were so nice. Thank you for a great week.

Thank you so much, Susan and Woody! We loved our stay at your beautiful Taylor Pond cottage; both the indoor and outdoor spaces are perfectly designed, and we spent lots of time on the decks and docks (complete with kayaks!). Cannot wait to come back!

Susan and Woody’s property is thoroughly wonderful! Spotlessly clean, well-stocked with household necessities, and extremely comfortable. The two-tiered deck overlooking the lake is magical. Swimming and kayaking on the beautiful lake was amazing. The owners were a delight to communicate with and provided an informative handbook that answered any questions we may have had. Highly, recommend!

This was the perfect place for our family. My husband is from Auburn and we wanted to have our own space for our family, without imposing on friends and family. Susan and Woody's house was fantastic for this. The outdoor space was beautiful and plentiful. The property was great, but they are also amazing hosts. They had a guidebook with all sorts of information, which made it super easy. I can't recommend their property enough.

This is a beautiful well-appointed house. It is right on the water and the decks are a lovely place to sit out and enjoy the pond. We enjoyed the kayaks and floats and had a great swim. The rooms are clean and spacious and everything you could need you will find in the house. The furniture is comfortable and the mini split units in each room make it easy for each person to sleep comfortably. The only heads-up I would make to future guests is that there is a real lack of privacy with the owners living right next door. They came over multiple times while we were there, a few times in the morning to do things in the yard, and it was awkward and uncomfortable for us. If you are someone who really values privacy it is an important thing to note
