Farm Stay Cottage on beautiful Toddy Pond Farm in Monroe, Maine

This was our 3rd year staying at TPF cottage and we still adore it! the house is charming and well appointed. The farm is fun and the lake (and kayaks!) are perfect for a relaxing time

My adult sons and girlfriend, my sister, my beau, and I spent a perfect week at the Toddy Pond Farm guest house. The beds are firm and comfortable, the rooms clean and of the right number. Two full bathrooms ease the crowd crunch. The kitchen is well equipped, with a gas grill in the patio. The large gathering/dining room couldn't be better and is equipped with cards and games; several of us napped on the day beds at various times. The pond down the hill was clear, quiet, and beautiful, with a swimming dock, and kayaks available to paddle out to the loons. We easily drove into Belfast for restaurants and history when we wanted, and gladly stayed at the house for games, reading, swimming, and more. Our friendly and gracious hosts were the best, as was watching a working family farm in action. Oh, and the dairy products! It was worth every extra penny to go through two glass half gallons of fresh milk and the same of yogurt, rich yellow-yolked eggs from the chickens wandering around, fabulous ice cream sandwiches. We didn't even dent the meat freezer!

Highly recommend for your artist retreat, your family reunion, or your couples getaway. We'll be back, for sure.

A group of my friends and I rented the Toddy Pond Farm Cottage to celebrate another friends birthday and decided to extend our stay through New Year's Eve. All 8 of us enjoyed ourselves immensely. The cottage is beautiful and very well taken care of. Greg was a spectacular host and was extremely patient in putting up with a paranoid me as I obsessively checked the weather every few hours in the days leading up to our trip. A lengthy snowstorm was predicted for the day of our anticipated arrival and in a last minute change of plans, he allowed us to extend our reservation and made sure the cottage would be ready to go an entire day early for our group. We arrived very late at night (as we were coming last minute from almost 4 hours away in Massachusetts) to find that the outside lights had been left on as well as the heat turned up. Very cozy. We instantly felt welcome and made ourselves right at home. The next morning we woke up to an exquisite view of an incredible farm blanketed in snow, surrounded by gorgeous trees and a beautiful view of the pond. Greg was on top of the plowing of the cottage driveway and was very responsive and helpful the entire time we were there (he even hand delivered a package to us that we had delivered to the farm from Amazon).

All in all the entire stay was perfect. Still sad that it's already come and gone!

Toddy Pond Farm Cottage is quaint, spacious, and clean. With cows grazing in nearby fields and spectacular views of the pond and mountains beyond, the place is quite magical. The owners are clearly stewards of the earth as evidenced by the various organic, biodegradable products they have on hand. Highly recommend!!!

What a wonderful place. Greg and Heidi are excellent and generous hosts with their time and resources. As fellow farmers who care for the earth we were pleased to find biodegradable dish soap in the kitchen and organic olive oil by the stove. The space is incredible and what they are doing on their farm is noteworthy. I look forward to our next stay and only hope that it's available for the weekend we want to come.
