Photos and Description of the Blue Hill vacation house rental Luxury Year-Round Lakefront 4 BR Home Near Acadia, Bar Harbor & Blue Hill

Gorgeous lakefront home nestled on 2.2 very private acres. With 263 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.'

Toddy Pond is the perfect lake for a Maine getaway. Ten miles long, but only 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 because of its topography.) 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. The charming oceanfront town of Blue Hill is only 15 minutes away, with Acadia and Bar Harbor about a 45 minute drive. Actual guest comments about the location and the house: 'This is an incredibly well equipped house and wonderfully situated. A great family vacation!' 'The location was gorgeous, the house was perfect, the abundance of dry firewood and generous house supplies was amazing.'

Review Submitted: September 6, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Wonderful, lakefront home. We couldn't have been happier with the home, the location, and the lake. It was exactly as described and shown and, if possible, even better. Pictures do not do this home justice. We even got married on the dock the week we stayed here - that's how beautiful it is! Owner did a great job of giving directions to towns in surrounding area, tips on what to do, where to hike, time to get there, etc., which is greatly appreciated when you're unfamiliar with the area. It was just lovely, only regret is that we didn't rent two weeks!

We greatly enjoyed our stay in this peaceful and tranquil setting. The house was extremely well equipped and laid out. The owners are very considerate and provide great directions to the house(well off the beaten path) as well as helpful hints on things to do in the area.

We were at Toddy Pond for a family birthday -- just three days -- but it was wonderful. Peaceful and so comfortable -- even in the pouring rain! The sun came out the last day and we heard some loons -- thanks for a great weekend!

Where do I begin about the week we spent at this beautiful property? The home is incredible and we wanted for nothing. Dan has thought of everything. From the well supplied kitchen to his personal tips about the property and area, we had no choice but to relax. We spent the week taking in the lovely views, enjoying the incredible fireplace and relaxing. There was poetry written, photos taken, cookies baked, paintings and books completed and many smiles enjoyed at Toddy Pond. This will always remain a favorite vacation spot and wonderful memory for both of us! Thank you, Dan! We cannot wait to return.

Review Submitted: September 9, 2007 Date of Stay: September 2007
After an 8 hour drive from upstate NY and an 8 hour plus flight from the California Bay area,our family arrived at the destination planned for our 2007 family vacation. We drove down the dirt road looking for the lovely home we rented...the directions were perfect...without them we would have been lost! Our first site as we drove up to the house were the lush, fragrant flowering bushes accompanied by beautiful butterflies. We enjoyed the week immensely from steaks on the deck the first evening to the lobster dinner and homemade blueberry icecream prepared on the final night of our stay. Yes, the kitchen was well equipped! Bar Harbor and beautiful Acadia made for fun day trips, as did a kayak guided tour on the ocean. Blue Hill provided the perfect setting to poke around one morning until the sun came out. We enjoyed great cool Maine weather! The cabin was spacious enough for the seven of us to sleep comfortably and pleasantly furnished. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing, quiet and peacefully located vacation.
