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.

The overall upkeep of the house is poor. Access to the water is nearly impossible. It is very peaceful and quiet so that was a plus. A deep cleaning of the home would make a world of difference.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lakefront home

Overall the stay was nice. It was convenient for our activities. We noticed the bathroom shower and living room floor was dusty. There was no paddle for the kayak. The fire pit was nice, but more cushions are needed for the chairs and some type of lighting (string lights) for the stairs on the deck.The microwave was unplugged. When we plugged it in, it came on and wouldn't go off. Garbage cans are needed in both bathrooms. Upon arrival, garbage bags were sticking out of the can outside. It turns out garbage is picked up on Friday. We heard other homeowners taking out their cans and pulled it to the street. More directions need to be provided for things like that. The tv downstairs was configured but the bedroom tv's need to be configured with a house account and only require guests to sign into apps. Our friends complained that the 2nd queen bed gave them swayback.The smoke detector went off in the master bedroom at 5am. NO SMOKE, just bad battery. It kept chirping. The kitchen went off in the am from cooking bacon and wouldn't reset. Both need new batteries. Kitchen items should include a colander, cutting board, rubber turner for non-stick pan. One of the stainless pans was burnt. The screws on the chairs in the kitchen need to be tightened. Lastly, my husband looked in the basement for the kayak paddle and the floor was very wet and the area had a damp/mildew smell. The door had a draft pillow blocker so it did not come upstairs.
