About this property

Stonehill Cottage is charmingly located on pristine Toddy Pond. Facing the sunset, the house gets lots of daytime sun to enjoy on the deck or down by the water. Dive off the deep-water dock, paddle and swim the clear water, relax and listen to the loons. Indoors, the spacious living area encourages more relaxation -- six double doors open onto the lake view allowing for fresh air and sun into a double living room that provides plenty of room for everyone and a full size dining room that easily seats eight people. A fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill allow for cooks of all types to prepare meals. Bedrooms include one bedroom downstairs with twin beds and two bedrooms upstairs, one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed but both with lake views. Each bedroom upstairs has its own private bathroom. An upstairs seating area provides another spot to enjoy the lake view. This house is truly comfortable and provides a great home base to enjoy the lake and Maine's beauty. Very family friendly with fairy houses in the yard and toys for kids.

The house is 1.5 miles down a well-maintained, dirt road. There are about six steps down from the driveway to the house that is built into a hill. Please note that drinking water must be brought in as lake water is not potable.

four night stay

My family had a great time at this house. We enjoyed using the well-stocked kitchen, watching movies in the big, comfy living room, and using the kayaks on the pond. It's a very comfortable and pretty house with great views.

Perfect everything

Only good things to say about this stay. Location is great, clean and quiet. The house is cute, beautiful and unique. The decor is very cozy, there's so many comforts included & in great condition. Communication was great & the owner is very accommodating & helpful. We loved firepitting looking out at the pond & relaxing in the hammock. There's wood for sale everywhere cheap. We were lucky to have a hot week in September to go swimming. It was a bit hot in the upstairs bedrooms with the ac only downstairs but we used the fans. We didn't find the remote for the high hallway ceiling fan until we checked out. It was a wonderful 3 nights, we wish we could've stayed longer but would love to stay again sometime, maybe with family members.

Great location on toddy pond. Very quiet, except for the loons The house was immaculate , very clean.The dock at the laje was great also. It was deep enough to dive in . The dock also came in handy, because i like to bring a 16 ft fishing boat to get around. the 7 mile lake. They had lots of inner tubes a d kayaks were alot of fun too. We hope to stay again next summer....

Charming Cottage Getaway

This beautifully furnished and well stocked cottage was perfect for our small family vacation. The lake was easily accessible, and we enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle board. We appreciated how well provisioned this cottage was, as everything from beach towels to puzzles, games and books were available for our use. I loved the peace and serenity of the lake, and listening to the loons call every evening. Stonehill Cottage was a wonderful place to rest, relax, and enjoy time at Toddy Pond with family.

Great location

We loved waking up and having coffee by the pond on foggy mornings. Beautiful location and a beautiful drive to more touristy hotspots. The host was very responsive to minor issues we had along the way.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Thibedeau

As a teacher and a professor, we are lucky to have free time in the summer to enjoy Maine's incredible natural beauty, cultural attractions, local restaurants. Transplants from away (Massachusetts and California), we enjoy the simple life in Maine, where people seem less rushed than in other places, and hope our renters also learn to love Maine, as we do.

Why they chose this property

We live in the Bangor area and have rented houses on Toddy Pond for years. We decided to buy our own and would like to share this lovely spot with others. It's truly a Maine paradise, a place to escape and to relax.
