Fishing and Kayaking Oasis on Togus Pond

We loved every minute of our stay on Togus Pond. The spacious lake house was very clean when we arrived, with air conditioning running... a bonus surprise! There were lots of places to shop/eat/explore in downtown Augusta, but we really just wanted to spend most of our time at the house. Fishing, kayaking and just watching wildlife from the shore.

Beautiful setting - house could use some work

This place is directly on Togus pond - with wonderful swimming and kayaking. The house has great potential, but had a lot of broken stuff in it - and wasn't as clean as we would have hoped. This place is all about location location location.

Peaceful and comfortable

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lakefront cottage. A perfect Maine experience. Centrally located for day trips to Bar Harbor, Boothbay Harbor, Freeport and so much more. Or you may just want to stay home and sit by the fire with a glass of wine and listen for the loons. Quintessential Maine.

Ice fishing paradise

Myself and 4 friends booked this home on the water for an annual super bowl ice fishing trip. The house was just as described, spacious and comfortable. The pond is beautiful and the fishing was outstanding, we caught fish all day long. Location is good as well, with plenty of restaurants and downtown Augusta within 10 to 15 minutes. Great home for the price.

Restful and peaceful location

The location was beautiful and peaceful. However, there were a few items that I would have appreciated in the listing such as no central A/c and water has a smell to it. An uncontrollable situation for the renter: the neighbor was doing repairs with power tools all day, and the home was serene and peaceful for a getaway.

Enjoyed it!

We had a nice time. Water was great. We swam and fished, and used the kayak. Fire pit was perfect. House was clean and roomy for us. Some comments about the house are accurate; it really depends on what you are used to. All in all a great find. Pond was much quieter than expected, so that was nice. Would definitely rent again.

Togus pond

Not impressed with this house. Getting home at night trying to get into a key pad with 10 numbers was crazy. If it didn’t work the first time take you 10 minutes to get in. The towel rack fell off the wall in down stairs bathroom. Water just trickles out for showers. Beds not the most comfortable . Would nit rent afain or recommend it

Beautiful location

This house has a beautiful location. My husband and I stayed for a weekend getaway and enjoyed our stay. One issue that we had was the water pressure. It was hard to shower because the water kept going in and out. As others have stated, the inside of the house could use some TLC. Some of the decorations are falling apart on the wall. The paint on the walls in some rooms look incomplete. Overall it was a good stay.

Tranquil Seclusion, Augusta, Maine

Beautiful place. Loons, eagles, Ospreys, and good fishing. No A/C made a couple of days miserable when heat and humidity was in the mid-nineties. Many fans available, though. Would be more ethical to let people know before booking that tap water is not drinkable. Saying a kayak is available is a bit of a stretch (small plastic boat).

Tranquil Seclusion for sure!

This house was perfect for our family getaway! It was very clean, we had plenty of room and being right on the pond was fantastic! Hearing the Loons banter back and forth was so relaxing and the view was beautiful. You can’t beat the tranquility of a fire pit at night right on the edge of the water. There was a Dunkin Donuts 10 minutes away and a 15-20 minute drive to restaurants, Walmart and other stores was a bonus. Sure there are a few things in the house that could use updating, but we’re not picky people... It worked great for us! It was reasonably priced and we would definitely go back! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Stay at the pond

The property has a wonderful location. The house was clean and comfortable. The 10-digit combination lock was a challenge. You have to enter the digits quickly, and since there is 10 of them, it is difficult. We had to leave the backdoor partly open because we were not confident that we could get back into the house. Also, the dock behind the house was partially dismantled impeding access. There was a kayak, but it had no oar. Luckily, my kids were able to obtain an oar from friends.

A deep clean and facelift is desperately needed!

Check in and clean beds and towels are the positives. The negatives are as follows: Disassembled smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector falling off the wall. Filthy window sills and door slider gams with dead bugs from years ago. Artwork on wall falling apart. Description of shore incomplete. Should have mentioned how rocky it was. Difficult to get our kayaks in/out. Was told via a message that there was firewood for the fire pit....not so. I've requested a partial refund. Having difficulty with follow through from Vacasa about "the local team" reaching out to me as promised.
