Om boendet

Farm Stay Cottage på vackra Toddy Pond Farm i Monroe, Maine

Toddy Pond Farm stuga är en varm och välkomnande plats rik med historia och naturlig skönhet. Ligger på en 500+ tunnland arbetande gård, har stugan utsikt över Toddy Pond och bergen utanför. Njut av dessa vyer och utsikten över gården från den främre skärmad verandan, eller plocka blåbär från baksidan uteplats och lyssna på ugglorna på kvällen. Inuti har stugan ett komplett kök, 2 badrum, full tvättstuga och 3 sovrum och sovplats; sovrummet med en ny queen size-säng ner och övervåningen den mysiga fullstora sovkroken med privatlivsgardiner, det främre rummet med en fullstor säng och det bakre gästrummet med en tvilling. Totalt sover stugan bekvämt upp till 7. Stugan själv går tillbaka många år - se till att du läser de ursprungliga väggarna med varje besökares handskrivna meddelanden. I vardagsrummet / matsalen finns det sittplatser för 6 personer och en soffa och stolar nära vedspisen. Det finns ingen TV eller internet i stugan - släpp dig verkligen bort från allt. Koppla loss och anslut igen! De bekväma fönsterplatserna har varit kända för att fånga en lat eftermiddagsläsare i en lycklig tupplur vid mer än ett tillfälle.

Utanför stugan kan du utforska skogen på flera privata vandringsleder eller besöka gårdens djur på Toddy Pond Farm; en fungerande mjölkgård med får, getter, kor, grisar och kycklingar. Känn dig gärna vid mejeriet på morgonen för att se hur mjölkningen görs eller kom och titta när vi lägger djuren på bete för dagen. Det finns en gårdsbutik där du kan köpa ost, yoghurt, kefir och jäsade grönsaker - allt gjort här på gården i vår Maine licensierade anläggning. Vi säljer också våra betesmarker och skogsmarker - griskött, kyckling, nötkött och lamm. Och säsongsmässigt erbjuder vi honung från våra bin.

Om simning, båtliv eller fiske är vad du gillar, ta en promenad genom skogen ner till Toddy Pond och njut av den privata landningen komplett med flotte, fyra kajaker och en kanot. Över 1 mil privat fasad på dammen säkerställer fullständig integritet och lugn, även om du förmodligen kommer att höra lumman ute på vattnet. Njut av ytterligare utsikt över Pond View Trail komplett med 2 broar när du går längs Toddy Pond i en slinga tillbaka upp till stugan.

Om du letar efter ett ställe att komma bort från allt utan att behöva köra miles och miles in i vildmarken, är Toddy Pond Farm platsen för dig. Under ditt besök kommer du att se och höra vilda djur och alla andra fantastiska sevärdheter och naturljud, och ändå ligger den underbara livliga kuststaden Belfast bara en 15 minuters bilresa bort med sina konstgallerier, naturliga livsmedelsbutiker och många eklektiska restauranger. Det är verkligen det bästa från båda världar här.

Toddy Pond Farm presenterades i en Boston Globe-artikel om gårdsupplevelser här i USA, och senare i en föräldermagasinartikel från mars 2017 valdes TPF som gårdens vistelse att besöka i Maine.

Vi hoppas att du väljer att komma och bo hos oss.

Nice Place

Very nice house, very clean, perfect location for our family get-together. We would love to return when the farm store is open and when it is warm enough to swim and kayak on the pond.

We want this place all to ourselves

Really hard to give an honest review since this is the place I’ve been searching for years and don’t want others there! It’s a camp so think glamping. No internet. No microwave. I felt like I was back in the 90s. It was heaven.

Perfect Getaway

Farmhouse was the getaway we all needed. Place was clean and spacious. Everything you need to make your stay memorable is there. Local markets are stocked for anything you might have forgot. Location was secluded but not far from idea locations that Maine has to offer. Bar Harbor short drive away, visited Belfast waterfront. Went to my personal favorite Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound for my large whole Lobster. If you're there for the weekend i would recommend to make reservations to the farms restaurant. Live music, friendly staff, and awesome food, something you wouldn't want to miss. Can't forget Gilley and Birdie, the farm dogs that welcomes you at the door. Again this was a great family vacation

Farm Stay Cottage

Overall very good. Family enjoyed the farm tour, short walk to pond which is very scenic, peaceful and quiet, seeing and hearing the call of the loons, kayaking, swimming, paddleboat, fire pit, cook outs with charcoal grill, scenic views, nature, birds, cows, pigs, Friday evening farm dinner, and close to grocery store, lakes, ocean and area towns and attractions. One tip, take along some fans at the peak of summer, cottage does get hot upstairs during the day.

Off the beaten path farm stay on beautiful Toddy Pond

Our extended family of 7 had a wonderful stay at Toddy Pond Farm! The cottage is simple but comfortable and spacious— a wonderful way to unplug and enjoy Maine. Swimming and kayaking in Toddy Pond is just a short walk away down the trail. Being able to visit (and enjoy a delicious meal at) Greg and Heide’s farm is a terrific bonus. (Definitely be sure to book a table at their restaurant ahead of time!) This is a great option for people who want to explore beyond the more touristy towns of Midcoast Maine. Thank you, Greg and Heide for a truly special week!

This is the place to be!

The cottage is spacious and I have (already!) recommended this property to friends and relatives. The property is beautiful, clean and well-maintained. It has everything one needs and is more than comfortable for a group of seven. Morning coffee on the porch, listening to the farm animals, is a treat. There is enough space should you need a quiet spot – or gather in the comfortable large living room with so many windows to a view that never ends. If you can tear yourself away from cottage comforts, Belfast is a great coastal town. It is close by for easy access to grocery stores, shopping and wonderful restaurants. Unity College is only 40 minutes away. The owners are gracious, full of helpful information, and very responsive. The cottage is a find we are very pleased to have found. It’s on our list to go back!

Magical, restful time in Maine

What an incredible few days we had at Toddy Pond Farm - our family of four began each day with fresh milk and yogurt from the farm store and leisurely time reading and playing games on the porch. Then each day held a different adventure - from walking through woods to the pond for kayaking, to a day at the beach, to a morning spent watching the milking of the cows and feeding of the animals. And each afternoon ended with a walk to the barn for ice cream sandwiches and arguments about which flavor was best (I was partial to the wild berry lavender ice cream on snicker doodle - my husband preferred the coffee on chocolate chip - but one couldn't go wrong). The house itself was immaculate and has clearly been updated with incredible care to preserve the historic feel of the cottage. We found ourselves plotting a return in the winter for some snow shoeing and time by the wood burning stove. And on the drive home from Maine we found ourselves discussing how much we enjoy knowing where our food comes from and understanding the hard work that goes into creating it. It could not have been more wonderful and we can't wait to go back.

Not what we expected.

Booking was impossible to find without GPS as the last two turns (about 5 miles) were on to roads that had no street/road signs and property never mentioned nor did they list the actual address. Listing error of 3 queen beds and not even one queen size mattress but one bed may have been as my sister banged leg as it stuck out beyond the mattress. The upstairs bathroom had large, long hair shanks matted on to shower stall. Stairs to second floor were 6" deep with 10" rise between steps and were not mentioned or in photos and gave significant challenge to brother in law with foot problems. Lastly, we noted that there was only a single new roll of toilet paper with two well used rolls started. The next morning, I left a voice mail that I had questions for the wife and asked for a call back. About 3 hours later, (after seeing wife on farmhouse porch when passing), the husband returned call. He answered my questions and I closed asking for a second spare roll of toilet paper for backup on 5 adults over 62. On Thursday afternoon, we exchanged several texts re checking of cabinets for TP and he indicated it was the cleaners job to leave a spare for each but he would bring one over on Friday. None was delivered and on Saturday, at 6:16 pm, I texted that "We are in dire need of toilet paper tonight. Please leave 2 rolls on porch tonight." At 9 pm, because of the very rural location, I gave up waiting and went out myself to buy 2 rolls and returned at 10 pm. Out of space to finish.

Perfect, Peaceful Farm Vacation

My husband, our three kids, and our dog stayed at Toddy Pond Farm for a week in July. We have nothing but positive things to say about this lovely cottage, picturesque working farm, and the busy and gracious owners (Greg and Heide), who generously share their home with vacationers. The Cottage: Well supplied and roomier and even more lovely than VRBO pictures depict. Bedrooms & bathrooms were charming and cozy. The upstairs sleeping nook was a huge hit for all in our family. We enjoyed the fire pit. IMO the best seat in the whole cottage was on the screened-in front porch. We enjoyed the rockers and the cool evening breeze immensely. The views from the cottage were amazing. We enjoyed hiking around the property every day. The Pond: The was a good 10 to 15 minute walk through the woods from the cottage. Our kids enjoyed fishing and swimming out to the swim dock. We had access to the new paddleboat, kayaks, and canoe for the duration of our stay. The water was refreshing and clear and sunfish were abundant. The Farm, Farm Camp and Farm Store: My kids loved loved loved visiting the farm animals every day. They got to interact with the baby cows, ewes and lambs, the baby pigs, and ducklings. We enjoyed saving our meal scraps to feed the pigs every day--we missed this once we got back home! My two older kids (ages 9 and 10), attended two days of Farm Camp. They loved it. The Farm Store was my favorite--I may have developed an addiction to Heide's Vanilla Bean Yogurt--I had to bring quarts back for all of my friends. YUM. The Area: We enjoyed the rural countryside surrounding the farm, but also visited nearby attractions. Belfast--a fun and charming seaside town is about 20 minutes away. We highly recommend the 'Must Be Nice' food truck--the most amazing lobster rolls. We also enjoyed Young's Lobster Pound's outdoor carryout dining. A little hectic because it was busy at the dinner hour, but with the views of the harbor, we couldn't complain. We frequented Swan Lake State Park in nearby Swanville because our youngest preferred the beach and graduated entry of beautiful Swan Lake. Clear, cold water and gorgeous views. We can't wait to return to Toddy Pond Farm next summer. It has been one of our favorite vacation rentals so far. We highly recommend it if you're looking for the perfect combination of peace and quiet with options for adventure, and both the Maine countryside and seaside. Thank you, Greg and Heide!

A special place

We loved our stay at Toddy Pond. Greg and Heide were amazing hosts. The house sits on a hill with a great view and it’s own path to Toddy Pond for boating, fishing and swimming. Our family partook in all three. It’s an easy drive to Belfast for the farmer’s market, Young’s Lobster Pound, and a brewery or two. Enjoy.

Perfect place to disconnect, rest and recharge!

We loved our stay at Toddy Pond. The house was perfect for our group of 9, which included 5 under 4. The kids loved visiting the animals every day and playing with the farm pups! Greg and Heidi were more than accommodating and helped us plan our outings for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed the farm dinners and they were easily one of the highlights of the trip! If you are looking for a place to disconnect and enjoy a more relaxed pace of life, this is the place for you!

A truly wonderful experience!

Spent a perfect week here with my two boys (ages 12 and 14). This place is about as idyllic as you could ever imagine. A perfect guest house with amazing views and gracious hosts (Heidi and Greg) welcomed us on the first day. Then... Swimming and kayaking in Toddy pond, personal farm tour by Greg, feeding the chickens and pigs, watching the newborn piglets, getting up close to the dairy cows, day trips to Acadia national park and Camden Hills state park, best ice cream sandwiches, exploring the farm, seeing happy cows grazing right outside our window! The kids were thrilled. We were in the pond every day! What a pleasure to reconnect with nature. Simply terrific 😁

so grateful for this very special place

Even better than the pictures show. We are so grateful that we were able to stay here and experience this amazing land, the fields, pine trees, pond and animals. This is a beautiful clean farm that smells better than fresh mown grass. Is it hay? Wildflowers? I'm not sure but it is sweet and fresh. We heard that it was brutally hot back in Boston while we were sitting in Adirondack chairs, under the pine trees by the edge of the lake, enjoying the fresh breeze while the kids were jumping off the dock and playing with Shep the border collie, or the goats that they walked down to the lake. We kayaked and swam and explored the little islands. I thought there were going to be all kind of rules, but the farmers are so easy going. Our twins who turned 13 while there, loved it. Loved hanging out with the cows, watching the milking, feeding the pigs, collecting the eggs. We are already planning to go back next year. The house is even better in person. Spotlessly clean and fresh. Bedrooms and bathrooms are great. The "nook" is the best bedroom in the house, a curtained off mattress sized cupboard with an amazing view. But all the bedrooms have great views and are so comfortable. One day we drove the 15 minutes to Belfast but we regretted it. Belfast is a beautiful little city, worth a visit in it own right, but we just wanted to be back on the farm. It is such a rare place, where we were on all this gorgeous land to ourselves with only the farmers and animals there. Thank you so much to Heidi and Greg who make this very special place what it is and make it available for others to have this experience.

Fourth straight year at Toddy Pond!

This was our fourth trip to the cottage and we loved it just as much this year as we have every other summer. We spent almost all of our time at the pond and only stopped by to see the animals a little bit. Baby cows, baby goats, all cute. Enormous pigs who come running when they see anyone. At this point, the kids are older and they want to be active with hiking and kayaking and swimming until they drop, which is great. And we still love the quiet evenings on the porch and the early morning rooster calls. We hope to be back many more years.

An Idyllic, Perfect Week

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.

Beautiful cottage. Private winter getaway with lovely views. Looking forward to visiting again!

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!

Magical!

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!!!

Toddy Pond Farm

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.

Second year at TPF

We had another great week at Toddy Pond Farm. With some guidance from Greg & Heidi, the kids had a chance to interact more with the cows, learn their names, and watch how Frieda interacted with Francis, the baby calf. They loved kayaking and swimming, of course, and the ice cream sandwiches from the farm store, but mostly loved seeing the animals. They have been asking interesting questions about how other cows live on other kinds of farms. Adults will love the enormous screened porch and the hiking, and the general privacy of a vacation away from crowds. Belfast is a short ride away and it contains good restaurants, a food coop, craft boutiques, and a beautiful waterfront.

Wonderful week!

Our family rented the cottage at Toddy Pond Farm for a week. I read all the other reviews here, and I agree with them, so I won't repeat all the (true) things that have been said about how great the accommodations are. What I will add is that this was truly one of the best vacations the family has taken. The kids haven't stopped talking about wanting to re-book it for another stay, for one thing! It's true, this place is great to take the kids, but it's much more than that. The cottage is about 500 feet away from the farm, separated by pasture, so it would be easy to just hide out in the cottage for a more secluded, relaxing getaway without kids. So, I wouldn't just limit this to a "kids vacation" kind of place. Greg, Heide and their boys were wonderfully accommodating and engaging hosts. They're clearly very passionate about sustainable family farming. We learned a ton about where our food comes from and how it gets to our plate, as well as things we can do to improve its quality. At the same time, while they gave us as much education as we asked for, they were never preachy in any way. Kept things very interesting for sure. Just very engaged in their work, and happy to answer all the questions we asked, demonstrate things, have us help as desired, etc. They are clearly "people people" who genuinely enjoy the farm guests. The cottage was extremely clean, and fully stocked with sheets, towels, (organic and natural) cleaners and soaps, etc. It was easy to move in and feel at home. There are two stories, with a master bedroom on the first floor. Second floor has two bedrooms, plus a curtained sleeping nook that isn't really a full room, but was lots of fun for our 12 year olds. WiFi was OK but a little slow; there's no TV. Again, you really can do as much, or as little, of the farm involvement as you like. There's kayaking and swimming (warning: you'll need to walk about 1/3 mile on a wooded path to get to the pond ... which is pretty big, more like a lake ... and it got pretty buggy on the walk. It's also uphill coming back). Belfast is an interesting town with restaurants, bookstores, etc. about a 20 minute drive away. Camden and Rockland are also nice towns, more like 50-60 minutes drive. In short, this place is a good choice for many types of vacationers, from those with young children, thru teenagers, to older couples or groups without kids. You can be as active, or as laid back, as you like here. I can't say enough good things!

Second time at TPF

This was our second year at Toddy Pond Farm. When given the choice of Disney or Maine, my 12 and 10 year old firmly said Maine AND TPF. We love it here...the cottage is quaint and well appointed. The walk to the lake is a fabulous tromp through Maine's gorgeous pine trees and lovely fields. We love kayaking on the lake...and jumping off the rocks for a swim. Oh, and the ice cream...you MUST walk to the farm store and buy a ice cream sandwich for breakfast (you are on vacation afterall!). Belfast is a wonderful little town, Lincolnville Beach is a great stop as well as a harbor tour out of Camden. And take the day for a tour of Acadia. We highly recommend Toddy Pond Farm "Farm Stay" vacation and will be back for a 3-peat.

This is an amazing place filled with beauty and life. Amazing privacy. Renting this cottage is like having a small piece of Maine all to yourself.
