Our family group had a wonderful time on Toddy Pond! The house was perfect for our group, cozy and thoughtfully stocked.The location was great for doing a bit of exploring but it was honestly hard to pull ourselves away from the lake house! The swimming, boating, hanging out on the deck, and camp fires made for a pretty dreamy week. Carin was friendly and easy to get in touch with when we had a couple of questions.We would all happily go back to spend more time at this house!

The house was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. The backyard and all the amenities were amazing. Definitely worth bringing a projector for movies in the gazebo, the kids loved it! While you absolutely will not want to leave the lake, the Town of Blue Hill was less than 20 minutes from the house and had everything we wanted or needed (e.g., grocery, family friendly restaurant, great wine shop and new oyster bar). Carin was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. My only complaint was that we had to leave! We would absolutely stay here again if we have the opportunity.

We had a wonderful time with our children and grandchildren. The property and location are lovely. Our grandchildren played in the water through sunshine and rain. The daily visit from the loon was an extra bonus.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you had a wonderful time with your children and grandchildren. It’s heartwarming to hear that the little ones enjoyed the water, rain or shine! And how special to have daily visits from the loon. Hopefully, the eagles are back this year, and you were able to see them as well. You were a truly exceptional guest, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime.

Fly Like an Eagle

Fantastic property that had everything we needed. Plenty of room for everyone and the outdoor area was phenomenal with easy access to the lake. Everyone enjoyed watching the bald eagle take off and land in the tree on the small island just off shore. Would highly recommend this property

Perfect family getaway

This house was the perfect getaway for our extended family. The kids had a blast fishing, swimming, kayaking and using the paddle boat. We were able to spend a day in Acadia and Bar Harbor but then relax the rest of the time at the house. The screened in gazebo was great at night for us to hang out in and play board games. Would definitely recommend this property!

Beautiful

This place was amazing--7 bedrooms gave us plenty of space to spread our wings as a family while still being in the same house ;) The lake was beautiful and we loved not only the floating dock, the regular dock, but the kayaks were a perfect way to enjoy the water!

Family get away

Had a great time with family, the weather didn’t cooperate but the house was well appointed with games and movies and gathering spaces, so we had fun inside when we couldn’t get outside. Everything we needed was available for use, and it was a lovely location and lovely home.

The house was excellent. Stocked really well with everything that we would need, towels, paper products, dishes, etc. Plenty of kayaks, other watercraft and life jackets. Very nice fire pit and Gazebo area with wonderful views of the pond. Very clean, comfortable beds and furnishings. The VRBO host was great and very responsive to any questions that we had.

Excellent stay

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.

Excellent Place For Family Vacation

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.

We really enjoyed ourselves. The home was nice we all felt at home and comfortable. We had a chilly week so the fire pit came in handy. My husband and I went out on a Kayak and Toddy Pond is pretty cool. Beautiful mornings on the deck when the sun rises. The yard is a great size for yard games.
