All Season - WATERFRONT family home - AUGUST 2024 stay 6 nights get the 7th FREE

Escape to Kathy's Lake House, your perfect year-round retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

Summer and Fall: Wake up to the serene calls of loons and the majestic sight of eagles soaring overhead as you enjoy your morning coffee on the dock or the expansive wraparound porch. Kathy's Lake House offers an ideal setting for reconnecting with loved ones and making unforgettable memories. Spend your afternoons kayaking on the crystal-clear waters or roasting marshmallows by the lake, just steps from your door. And when evening falls, unwind in the comfort of the living room while the kids enjoy their own space downstairs.

Nestled amidst the beauty of nature, Kathy's Lake House offers unmatched privacy and stunning views of the lake and forest. With 150 feet of waterfront on Toddy Pond, it's the perfect escape for groups or multiple families.

Enjoy endless outdoor fun with kayaks, two canoes, a paddleboard, and paddleboat provided for your use. Or bring your own boat and tie up at the large dock, complete with a relaxing gazebo where you can soak in the scenery.

Dining options abound, from al fresco meals on the porch to lakeside picnics in the spacious gazebo. Inside, the fully equipped kitchen and dining room provide ample space for entertaining.

The main floor welcomes you with a cozy living room, fully stocked kitchen, and inviting dining area. Retreat to the master bedroom offering access to the deck and stunning views or another comfortable guest room on the main floor.

Downstairs, a separate living area awaits with three bedrooms and a playroom filled with games and entertainment options for kids of all ages.

Upstairs, two large bedrooms boast private sitting rooms and a shared bathroom, providing a peaceful sanctuary with panoramic lake views.

Conveniently located just 15 minutes from charming Blue Hill and 20 minutes from Bucksport and Fort Knox, Kathy's Lake House offers easy access to dining, shopping, and outdoor adventures. And with Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park just a scenic 50-minute drive away, the possibilities for exploration are endless.

Unbelievable views, sunrises, and serenity

Our stay at this home was the perfect getaway. Isolated, quiet, beautiful scenery on the lake. Close enough to ellsworth, searsport for great dining. Short trip to Bar Harbor. Can't wait til next year. Can only hope its available the week we are planning our next trip to back to Maine. Without a doubt will be a return stay when we go back

Relaxing spot on the lake!

My extended family and I had the best time at this beautiful lake house on Toddy Pond. It was peaceful and relaxing. Enough room for everyone with a bedroom for all! The deck is amazing overlooking the lake. So much fun to be had on the lake itself. Blue Hill is close by and a great place to visit. Acadia was close enough for some day trips. Owners were super responsive and friendly. The best owners we have had the pleasure of renting from. Thank you for a great week!

Family get together

We loved the quiet location. The house was spacious considering the weather keep us inside a good portion of the time. When we did go out side the roomy yard and beautiful views were great. Loved sitting on the dock and listening to the loons and doing some kayaking.

About the host

Hosted by Carin

This is our family camp and is my absolute favorite place to spend time with family and friends. My mother wanted the camp as a place for her grandchildren to enjoy, before her unexpected passing. It will now remain in our family for generations. Our son started college this year and we find ourselves having to rent the camp for a few weeks every year to help pay for his school.

Why they chose this property

It is absolutely peaceful. We are 7 miles from the campground and boat launch so it is quiet. There is a jumping rock less than a mile away. The grass is level all the way to the water which is clean and warm (in the summer). The road is plowed all winter so it is accessible all year. It is truly my escape from reality and into a quiet and lovely space. There are Bald Eagles that nest in tree on the island right off the property and Loons in the lake. There are also no mosquitoes which is delightful and it is close to the ocean.

What makes this property unique

Our camp is close to Acadia (50 min), close to Blue Hill (12 min) with great hiking, an amazing cheese shop, a lovely health food store, and a grocery store as well as some great restaurants. It is a wonderful place to relax and watch the early sunrise or Eagles and listen to Loons.
