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.

Beautifully Appointed Lake Home
Our 1st visit to Maine. We had 8 family members and there was more than enough room for us. The home has everything you need. We loved everything, but especially the dining area, which comfortably sat all the family and seemed to beckon us to it every morning and evening .before and after our daily outings. The deck and dock were favorites spots as well. Loon Cove made for the perfect Maine getaway and we highly recommend staying there!!

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.

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!

Loon Cove is Spectacular
Loon Cove was the perfect retreat for our family. We stayed at Loon Cove during the last week in March and it could not have more tranquil or relaxing. Toddy Pond was frozen and the property was snow covered, making the days quiet and bright with the early Spring sunshine. The house itself was perfectly clean, very well maintained and well stocked with everything we could ask for, especially the kitchen, where we found the widest array of quality kitchen implements that we have ever seen in a vacation rental. We used the grill for dinners, and made a fire in the large fireplace each evening. We drove to Acadia for a day of hiking, and found it to be an easy 60 minute ride away. We were also impressed with the quality provisions available a short distance away at the Blue Hill Co-Op Market. Overall, Loon Cove is a spectacular property, and we would gladly visit again any time of year.

Simply perfect Maine getaway spot.
Loved this property! Even better than advertised. A super quiet remote spot. Pond was frozen so we skated for miles, warmed up by the fireplace at night. Great kitchen for cooking family meals. Day trips to Acadia National Park and Ellsworth. Perfect.

This was such a great place to stay! It has a well stocked kitchen to cook in. There are plenty of movies and games available. Pretty clean all around. Lots of separate places, it's a good place for a large group. We wish we would have more time to stay, but enjoyed it while we were there.

Great lake house
My family and I enjoyed staying here for three nights in mid-September. My toddlers loved the jungle themed room, and my spouse and I found the master bedroom to be spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked, and my kids enjoyed the many children's books on the bookshelf. Lovely location on the lake. True to it's name, we did hear loons call on Loon Cove- as well as a Barred Owl.

Family trip to Toddy Pond
We had a great week in Maine. Fabulous house on the water. Toddy Pond is a bit off the well beaten track, which is just what we were looking for. You could visit Bar Harbor and Acadia from here, but we preferred the quainter towns of Blue Hill, Castine, Deer Isle and Stonington. Great hikes nearby. Lots of kayaking. Played some tennis in Blue Hill. Mostly we had lots of family time in a great, spacious house.

Amazing as advertised
We are 2 adult families who were very much in need of a quiet, fun, family vacation. Loon Cove did not disappoint. The house was clean, and had everything we could need. We took a few day trips to Bar Harbor and hiked Acadia, but otherwise, enjoyed most of out time on the lake just doing lake stuff!! We will definitely be back. Be sure to rent any desired kayaks or canoes ahead of time as they're a necessity.

Family Reunion haven
A family reunion to celebrate our patriarch’s 80th birthday brought us all to the The Blue Hill region in a couple of different locations. This big well appointed house was the perfect location for a family with young adults. Great swimming in Toddy Pond, fabulous sunsets, lots of fun outdoor activities. Wonderful week in a terrific setting!

Our family of 4 enjoyed a wonderful week here. The house was so clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. Kids loved the ping pong table when not outside. Lake was very peaceful and we enjoyed a rented kayak, swimming, and fishing. Our outings included Acadia, Fort Knox, Blue Hill, and Castine but most of the time we just played and relaxed by the lake.

Relaxin week
We had a wonderful week at Loon Cove. Spent many hours on both decks, enjoying the view and the weather. As listed, beach towels were available. Bikes were available to use, but our group did not want to ride on a gravel road. We appreciated all the literature about local places. The house was plenty big for 7 adults and we could spread out. We were alerted to the awkward bathroom situation, and we made the best of it. We are all big cooks, and can honestly say this kitchen was extremely well stocked. We loved that Toddy Pond is quiet without a lot of boat noise. Oh - and the loons! What a wonderful sound!

My kids and grandkids enjoyed a week at Loon Lake. The house was clean and the common spaces were a delight. Across to the lake was wonderful. We ended up renting kayaks for the week and enjoyed using them to explore the lake. The bathroom situation is awkward, but workable.

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.
