This house was a good value and just right for our family reunion. Toddy Pond is beautiful and the various watercraft (kayaks, paddle boat, paddle board…) made it easy to enjoy the lake.

We loved our stay and had a very relaxing time being on the water or around the campfire at night. Sitting on the dock we were able to watch the Eagles and the Loons.
Beautiful view!!!

This was a perfect week at this house. The views from the deck are spectacular. The house lived up to all of my expectation and then some. This was the best VRBO we have rented by far.

Our group of 10 had a wonderful week. The house was clean and very well equiped/furnished as described in the listing. The real star for us was the yard including the lake. The gazebo received constant use, the canoes and kayaks got a workout, and the firepit was going most of the time. There are attractions nearby, of course, but the house, yard and lake provided everything our group needed to have a great time.

3 families with 9 kids (plus dogs) enjoyed our 4th of July week. The house was perfect for humans and four-legged friends. The kids loved kayaking and swimming to the floating dock (pack water shoes for the rocks). The adults loved sitting on the dock or under the gazebo, as well as nightly fire pits. The dogs loved the large yard and when we wanted a break from them, the back deck had built in gates to keep them locked up there. The house itself has everything and anything you might need, but it was nice having a grocery store only 15 minutes away. Highly recommend this home! We will be back, I’m sure!

We (all 13 of us) thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful lake house. There was enough of everything….. enough beds, enough plates and utensils, enough cooking accessories, enough linens and towels. The view was spectacular. Many a morning was spent on the dock taking in the sunrise. The kids - and actually the adults, too - couldn’t get enough of the kayaks. Our host checked in with us often to make sure all was well. We visited Acadia, Bar Harbor, Bangor, Portland, and Augusta. A great time was had by all.

We loved our stay here. It was bigg enough to accommodate our extended family. They had all the items from kitchen utensils to lake toys.
It was about an hour drive to Acadia from here, but we gladly made the drive for the price and space.
The host was so helpful and very quick to respond.
Would recommend to anyone looking to visit Maine.

Our stay at this home was the perfect getaway. Isolated, quiet, beautiful scenery on the lake. Close enough to ellsworth, searsport for great dining. Short trip to Bar Harbor. Can't wait til next year. Can only hope its available the week we are planning our next trip to back to Maine. Without a doubt will be a return stay when we go back

My extended family and I had the best time at this beautiful lake house on Toddy Pond. It was peaceful and relaxing. Enough room for everyone with a bedroom for all! The deck is amazing overlooking the lake. So much fun to be had on the lake itself. Blue Hill is close by and a great place to visit. Acadia was close enough for some day trips. Owners were super responsive and friendly. The best owners we have had the pleasure of renting from. Thank you for a great week!

We loved the quiet location. The house was spacious considering the weather keep us inside a good portion of the time. When we did go out side the roomy yard and beautiful views were great. Loved sitting on the dock and listening to the loons and doing some kayaking.

A portion of my family wanted a place to gather together this property offered a wonderful spot. We felt we were off the beaten path which was delightful and the fall foliage was breathtaking. The property managers were very helpful and communicative. We filled our bellies, we rested comfortably and we filled our hearts. We felt beyond grateful for the opportunity to gather together. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

The property was amazing, clean and had plenty of room for our group! The lake and dock were wonderful. The property is much farther back than we expected but was definitely not a negative for us! We went to get a break from the hustle and this house hit the mark. The owners were great, she sent us ideas of local spot and answered all of our questions before and during our stay.

We really felt at home from the first day. The accommodations were excellent, plenty of room for our group of 9 adults and 2 kids. We enjoyed a day at the blue hills fair, Acadia hikes and shipping in bar harbor. Everything we needed was there and the Carin was great as a host supplying us with plenty of tips on things to do. It was a much needed vacation in a beautiful setting where we could boat fish and watch the eagles! Thank you Carin so much!

A lovely, welcoming home perfectly placed on Toddy Pond - we would give it 10 stars if we could! Our group of 11 (family with older teens and several friends) just loved this home. The house was large enough to accommodate all of us in comfortable bedrooms, at the dining table, on the comfy couch in front of the TV, and outside on the deck. The house had every amenity we could ask for and was spotless upon check-in. The property is beautifully situated on the lake and provides plenty of equipment for water activities. We enjoyed the fire pit and screened-in platform nightly. Prior to our arrival, Carin provided a list of items available in the house, and several suggestions for day trips, activities and restaurants. Carin was very easy to work with and very responsive to all of our questions. We will definitely return again and again!

First off, this is a perfect vacation lakehouse with everything needed to enjoy the being on the water (kayaks, canoes and a pedal boat), in the water (swimming platform and the dock) and just enjoying a great view of it from the dock, covered platform on the grass, from around the campfire or the deck. Our entire party enjoyed a bald eagle right on the neraby island. It was majestic! The large house provide plenty of room, comfort, with everything we needed.
Secondly, Acadia National park is stunning and only slightly more than an hour away. Awesome place.
Latsly, Carin is so responsive to questions, provided tons of great tips with very clear reponses and communication. She is a wonderful host.

Wonderful Week in Maine
This was the perfect property for our family vacation. The house has plenty of rooms for everyone to spread out. The outdoor space gave the kids lots of place to play in and out of the water. The pond is lovely and the house sits in a shallow cove that is great for the kids, but also has a swimming dock in deeper water. Carin was very helpful giving recommendations for all kinds of activities and food. We had a great week and left with awesome memories! If we ever return to Maine, we would stay here again!

A great family getaway
Everything about the house itself was perfect for our needs - the only tiny drawback was the internet access which precluding things like streaming, but the owner was very upfront about that going in. Great communication and a great home for the week.

Perfect place for vacation
The property is located in a beautiful environment with ocean front. Plenty to do at the property itself - paddle boats, hammock, camp fire, canoe and so on. The property is spacious for the 12 of us. The only downside we felt was the lack of bathroom/ toilets on the lower floor. With this and few upgrades to carpets, this would be the a heavenly place. The view from most rooms is superb. Great collection of movies and music which we could not enjoy because we spent more time outdoors and in the surrounding Acadia National Park, Camden, Baxter State Park. Overall a perfect vacation spot

Very nice property, overall great time
The house was just what we needed, lots of beds and 2.5 baths. It was just as advertised and real clean and quiet. Expect a tough ride in on very bumpy and choppy hard packed dirt road. I would recommend vehicles with good clearance, dont expect to bring a Corvette for example.

Wonderful place to stay
We loved this home. It had everything we thought we needed and things we didn’t even know we wanted. I stayed here with me large family and friends. The house accommodated us perfectly. The pond was fantastic and most importantly it was perfectly safe for my 3 year old twins. It had a shallow entrance to the pond for young kids and more depth further in. It was perfect! The homeowners were amazing. Responded to any questions very quickly. Truth is we had a great time here all because of the perfect house and homeowners. We would definitely come back here.

Well equipped secluded lake house was the perfect family getaway!
The family had a great relaxing time on the lake, backyard, and in the house.
We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, and swimming on the lake. The lake was calm, clean, and warm. There were plenty of boating options at the house (kayaks, canoe, paddle board, and paddle boat). There’s a floating dock that the kids enjoyed thoroughly. We were able to catch a lot of fish including blue gills and both large and small mouth bass all from the dock.
The covered porch was perfect for sitting in the shade while the kids enjoyed the lake. Because of the rain, we unfortunately didn’t have a chance to use the fire pit area, but there was plenty of dry firewood provided. The raised deck was the perfect place for eating lunch.
There was plenty of space inside for the family to spread out. We only had 8 people, but the house could easily accommodate more. The house was updated and very well maintained.
The host was awesome and always got back to me right away if I had any questions.
We are all hoping to come back again next year and maybe bring some friends along, too!

Amazing VRBO with lots of amenities
This was one of my favorite home rental stays. It is a large property with many bedrooms and it oversees a beautiful lake. Our group of eight adults had plenty to do and see. The host was very friendly and checked in via text message from time to time.
We used the kayaks, built a fire to sit around, had a BBQ, and the paddle boats. We also played badminton (brought our own racquets though I believe there are some on the property).
An amazing stay and just an hour from Acadia National park, which we visited three times.
I hope to rebook this beautiful home again one day. It is very clean and amply stocked. Also very few mosquitoes and well kept lawn considering it’s proximity to the water.
Thank you!

The renting experience from start to finish was great! The VRBO website is easy to use and the information provided was very accurate. Carin was so prompt at answering all my questions and was very accommodating! The house is beautiful and large enough for our gang! It is supplied with everything you need except food! The outdoor property is a large lawn leading down to the water giving everyone plenty of room to spread out, play lawn games or enjoy the fire! The lake is beautiful, we had some beautiful kayaking and fishing days. Something for everyone.

Great Stay
Great stay at a great house!!! We had no little ones, which was good, as this is a little difficult if you have small kids because there is no beach. Also, know your boating, this pond is full of boulders, but if you are careful and scope the area first, its great. Great Kayak, paddle boarding, canoe, jet ski place.

Relaxation in Maine splendor
From the moment we arrived, the week spent at the camp was a joy. The home is lovely, featuring full amenities including a dishwasher and washer and dryer, and the bedrooms are spacious and feature comfortable beds. There were ample beach towels, and you'll need them - the pond is warm enough to comfortably swim in and there's plenty of kayaks on site to enjoy the water as well. The backyard is well-manicured, clean, and a great place to sit around a campfire or lounge in the hammock. I genuinely hope to book this house again in the future and share it with more friends, as it's a magical and peaceful experience that's roughly an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia. The host was quick to respond to any inquiries, and was very friendly in person too, which is just icing on the cake. We want to go back already!
