About Augusta:

Augusta became the capital of Maine in 1827. The Kennebec River splices Augusta in half. Unlike many towns in this situation, however, it has retained its integrity as a single city rather than dividing into two entities.

The Maine State Museum is a must-see for anyone wanting to know more about the state, its environment, and history. Other points of interest include: The State House, Children's Discovery Museum, Old Fort Western and Blaine House.

Come visit. You will not be disappointed!!

Relaxing home away from home
This is a very cozy home that gives plenty of space to relax and spread out. The canoe and 2 kayaks were fantastic to have access to and this is a great location on Togus Pond. The kitchen is well stocked and we had all we needed for the bathrooms. We would definitely return!

Peaceful lake time
We really enjoyed our stay at Togus Pond! The kids got to swim, fish, and ride on the kayaks, canoe, and paddle boat every day. We relaxed on the beautiful enclosed porch or the patio every day as well. The house had everything we needed and was close to great restaurants and grocery stores. The area was very quiet and had friendly people in it. It was very enjoyable for a family!

Beautiful property But bring your own sheets!!
This house is located on a beautiful property with views of Togus Pond from the back of the house. Every evening we enjoyed sitting on the screened in back porch off the dining area to listen to the loons calling to each other. That was great! My two sisters and husband all enjoyed playing games and exploring Maine and New Hampshire. When booking the home we over looked the need for bringing your own linens for the beds. We flew in so this would not have been possible. We have rented many homes but have not had an issue with sheets before. The stairs to the basement are very steep but there is railing. It was a good stay. This would be a great place for families to enjoy the lake and the outdoors.

Disappointment in cleaning-
They need to clean, include sheets, and make sure property is ready for rental. I have reported to the owner our issues so they are aware, but it is very obvious before our rental they had not visited the home. Carpets dirty and smell like mold, hair in shower, radiator heater was on which we reported and could have been a fire, dirty underwear in the corner of a bedroom. Just gross stuff like that. And-no sheets??!!

Beautiful home in a perfect location to hang out with friends.
The house was beautiful and in a perfect place to feel like you are disconnected the world but close enough to everything you may need on your trip. We went for my birthday weekend and enjoyed the lake view from the fire at night. The back screened in porch was perfect for sitting outside without any bugs or leaves falling on us. The owners were also very helpful and communicative! Would absolutely recommend this place and would go back again in the future!

The Perfect Getaway
This camp checked off all the boxes for the perfect getaway. Quiet, serene, and the occasional song of a loon capped off a wonderful stay. The screened porch was a godsend during one day’s torrential rain, but a good book and a comfy chair made all the difference, while the children played downstairs. The kitchen was fully stacked with every type of receptacle and utensil imaginable. A thoroughly enjoyable vacation!

Wow!
This is the cleanest property I have ever rented. Spotless! The setting is so peaceful and calming. Hubby and I sat outside looking at the lake, listening to the leaves rustle and a feeling of total relaxation was ours. Grocery stores and town are only a few miles down the road. Easy to find. We loved this place!!

Lovely lake stay
We had a family group come up for a week, and really enjoyed our stay. The screened in porch is fabulous. It fits everyone and allowed for social distancing for all of us. The kitchen was well equipped. The house was impeccably cleaned. The cove was lovely and we saw loons up close to the dock nearly everyday. It was very private. The swimming was great, and we boated throughout the lake.

Great For A Large Group
This lovely home was perfect for me and my large group of teenagers! We had a wonderful time swimming, canoeing and kayaking, and just hanging out. When it rained we took day trips to Boothbay and Camden. We loved beautiful Togus Pond and spent a lot of time on the dock. Only word of advice for future renters: bring your own chef knife! Although the kitchen was well stocked, the knives were dull. Thank you for a great vacation!

We had 7 adults. Great sleeping space for all 7 to have a seperate bed. We did have a challenge to keep the basement temperature up where we wanted it. (Chilly) We worked from dusk to dawn so this was a perfect house to spend the short evenings and get a good nights sleep.

They have this down to a science!
We had an excellent time staying on Togus Pond. The home was beautiful, comfortable and extremely well appointed. We loved the beautiful scenery, the cool breeze on the screened in back deck and the even calming colors of the paint throughout the house. We traveled from New York for our daughters graduation from UMA and had a small party for her and all of our guests were in awe of our VRBO find(and a bit envious too). My brother brought his fishing rod and had some luck catching Bass in the pond while we enjoyed watching the loons and ducks. We even saw a fox. The area is close to shopping but far enough away to be tranquil. Truly a little slice of heaven.

Wonderful lake house
We truly enjoyed our stay in the cottage - a lovely and very cozy home away from home. There is plenty of room for 2 families, very easy access to the lake, 2 kayaks and a canoe are in perfect shape and even a surprise paddle boat which was not mentioned in the description... We enjoyed exploring the lake and fishing, hiking and sitting at the campfire... Our three teenagers were more than happy to hang out in the basement with a separate TV, solid Internet connection and plenty of board games. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who is looking to spend their vacation in Main. P.S. I do agree with the previous review that nets on the bedroom windows need to be installed.

Super clean inside. Very relaxing.
Sept 7-10. Hot, hot, hot….thankfully, this cabin was equipped with a window AC unit. It saved the day for us. This was such a relaxing trip. Our cabin was stocked and prepared for inside living. Upgrade and remodel of inside are great, I can see some upgrades to front yard and when complete, will be amazing. Small suggestions are all I have… 1. Spend a little more $$ on better TP. Using half a roll for use may not be cost effective. 2. Cobwebs were abundant…I’m from Maine, so I understand that task can be daunting. Just a quick brush around door frames and open porch would be great. Aside from that, I highly recommend this cabin for a trip on Togus Pond. Communication was good and stay was very comfortable. M&C
