About this cottage rental
Greet the sunrise with morning coffee on the screen porch as you watch the cows graze in the surrounding fields. Enjoy a lovely walk down through the woods to picturesque Toddy Pond for a swim and kayak, followed by an afternoon nap in the hammock. In the evening relax around the fire pit as fireflies, crickets, loons and owls take the stage. With no competing lights, the stars are the brightest you've ever seen.
Originally built in the 1800's and renovated in the last decade, the farm stay cottage is a charming mix of old and new. A beautiful screen porch with wooden rockers faces east and captures the morning sun perfectly. The kitchen is small and quaint with new appliances installed in 2020. South and West facing windows wrap around the main room letting in sunlight, summer breezes, and a stunning view of Toddy Pond and the Camden Hills beyond. On chilly fall and winter days, a cozy wood stove makes you want to snuggle into the window seats, nap in the sun, and never leave. The first floor master bedroom has southern and western windows that wrap around opening to the farm fields and surrounding apple trees. A lovely (and steep) little stairwell takes you up to two sweet bedrooms, a second full bath, and an adorable sleeping nook.
A sun dappled wooded path takes you down to the waters edge. Toddy Pond, more of a small lake than a pond, is quiet and serene. The farm's property includes over a mile of water frontage. The water is lovely for swimming and the four kayaks are perfect for fishing and exploring the pond and several small islands. Nesting loons and bald eagles are always a delight to see and hear on the pond. There is excellent smallmouth bass fishing as well.
The farm offers 500+ private acres. There are several trails to walk or mountain bike, as well as a small farm pond that hosts heaps of frogs, turtles and such. The fields and woodlands offer much to explore and experience from bird watching, play, and quiet reflection.
The cottage is within sight of Toddy Pond Farm, but has total privacy.
Summer guests with kiddos who would enjoy more hands on farm time are welcome to enroll their kids in our farm camp. Info can be found on our website. TBD for 2024.

Really hard to give an honest review since this is the place I’ve been searching for years and don’t want others there! It’s a camp so think glamping. No internet. No microwave. I felt like I was back in the 90s. It was heaven.

Farmhouse was the getaway we all needed. Place was clean and spacious. Everything you need to make your stay memorable is there. Local markets are stocked for anything you might have forgot. Location was secluded but not far from idea locations that Maine has to offer. Bar Harbor short drive away, visited Belfast waterfront. Went to my personal favorite Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound for my large whole Lobster. If you're there for the weekend i would recommend to make reservations to the farms restaurant. Live music, friendly staff, and awesome food, something you wouldn't want to miss. Can't forget Gilley and Birdie, the farm dogs that welcomes you at the door. Again this was a great family vacation

Our extended family of 7 had a wonderful stay at Toddy Pond Farm! The cottage is simple but comfortable and spacious— a wonderful way to unplug and enjoy Maine. Swimming and kayaking in Toddy Pond is just a short walk away down the trail. Being able to visit (and enjoy a delicious meal at) Greg and Heide’s farm is a terrific bonus. (Definitely be sure to book a table at their restaurant ahead of time!) This is a great option for people who want to explore beyond the more touristy towns of Midcoast Maine. Thank you, Greg and Heide for a truly special week!

Even better than the pictures show.
We are so grateful that we were able to stay here and experience this amazing land, the fields, pine trees, pond and animals. This is a beautiful clean farm that smells better than fresh mown grass. Is it hay? Wildflowers? I'm not sure but it is sweet and fresh.
We heard that it was brutally hot back in Boston while we were sitting in Adirondack chairs, under the pine trees by the edge of the lake, enjoying the fresh breeze while the kids were jumping off the dock and playing with Shep the border collie, or the goats that they walked down to the lake. We kayaked and swam and explored the little islands.
I thought there were going to be all kind of rules, but the farmers are so easy going. Our twins who turned 13 while there, loved it. Loved hanging out with the cows, watching the milking, feeding the pigs, collecting the eggs. We are already planning to go back next year.
The house is even better in person. Spotlessly clean and fresh. Bedrooms and bathrooms are great. The "nook" is the best bedroom in the house, a curtained off mattress sized cupboard with an amazing view. But all the bedrooms have great views and are so comfortable.
One day we drove the 15 minutes to Belfast but we regretted it. Belfast is a beautiful little city, worth a visit in it own right, but we just wanted to be back on the farm. It is such a rare place, where we were on all this gorgeous land to ourselves with only the farmers and animals there. Thank you so much to Heidi and Greg who make this very special place what it is and make it available for others to have this experience.
