About this property

Luxury Lakefront - Near Acadia & Bar Harbor

Gorgeous lakefront home nestled on 2.2 very private acres. With over 250 feet of frontage on Toddy Pond, the house sits 75 feet from the water, atop a small rise, providing a lovely view of the lake through the trees. Toddy Pond is one of the most desirable lakes in downeast Maine. The charming oceanfront town of Blue Hill is only 15 minutes away, with Acadia and Bar Harbor about a 45 minute drive.

This year-round home is well appointed, with a gourmet kitchen, luxury master suite, and maple floors throughout. The living, dining, and kitchen areas share an open floor plan, anchored by a massive granite fireplace, providing a very spacious feel, even for larger groups. A spectacular arched window casts a sunny disposition in the living area throughout the day.

The following are actual recent guest comments:
'Your house is a first class act. We loved it.'
'…we couldn't have asked for a more perfectly appointed and relaxing home for our vacation.'


Great Lakefront Getaway! Toddy Pond is the perfect lake for a Maine getaway. Eight miles long, but only half a mile or so wide, it has three distinct sections, and many rock outcroppings, making it the choice for those looking for a quieter alternative to other area lakes. (It’s not conducive to large pleasure boats, due to large boulders lurking just beneath the surface.) The home is located on the western shore of the middle section. So if you are looking for a place of solitude to relax, swim, fish, and canoe, but with the convenience of nearby attractions, this is the place for you.

Very centrally located. In addition to the traditional Bar Harbor and Acadia area, Castine, Blue Hill, Deer Isle, and Stonington are all lovely trips a short distance from the home.

Relaxing winter getaway
This was our second time staying here and it was just as relaxing as the first. Went hiking and visited Ellsworth during the day, sat by the beautiful fireplace at night playing games with the family. The location is so remote and quiet you really feel like you're leaving the world behind. Highly recommend.

Really nice. We were there for only three night. Would go back with our extended family for much longer. This place has it all.

Perfect Maine weekend
We had a lovely stay at loon cove. Our kids made wonderful summer memories swimming off the dock and catching frogs. We loved the view of the lake from the master and listening to the loons in the evening. The house was spotless and very well equipped, including fishing gear, 2 bikes and countless lifejackets. Football and ping pong in the basement are a blast and the play kitchen down there was great for our littlest. Speaking of kitchens, the kitchen was extremely well equipped. (There is a drip machine and a keurig for anyone wondering what form of coffee to bring). This was the perfect weekend to cap off the summer, and look forward to another chance to stay here.

Toddy Pond
Thumbs up for this one! Our family had a wonderful time at Toddy Pond. We loved the house location, size, and amenities. We rented canoes and thoroughly enjoyed the lake. We were within reach of Bar Harbor and Acadia and enjoyed hiking there. We enjoyed a visit to the Penobscot bridge observatory and Fort Knox. Groceries were conveniently nearby. We all would love a return visit!

About the host

Hosted by Dan Staples

Host profile image
Dan and Dana fell in love with Maine on their very first visit, and now live in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. While we love southern Maine, our heart lies with Toddy Pond. We hope to spend the entire summer at Toddy some day...

Why they chose this property

When we moved from Boston to the South in 2002, we had a dream about retiring to Maine some day. When we stumbled on this lakefront gem, we knew it was destiny. It's so quiet and peaceful, but lives like a "real house" not a lakefront cabin or something. We were smitten and the rest is history.

What makes this property unique

The way the house sits elevated above the water, with the huge deck looking out through the trees at the lake is just spectacular. You could just sit on the deck for hours. The fact that it's situated in a cove is just a bonus -- the cove is always calm and perfect for swimming. The finished basement with ping pong, foosball and its own TV area is always a hit with the kids. The living area is just spectacular -- a two story living room with a massive granite fireplace and huge wall of windows facing the lake makes every day a beautiful day.
