Our week of relaxation at Young's Cottage on Togus Pond

Young's Cottage on Togus Pond has been a special getaway for my Friend Nancy, our dogs and me. My second visit and Nancy's first. All the amenities of home and more...like the screened in porch! That porch is feet away from the water. We had loons every day and evening come by to welcome us. One word for Mary and Logan's Cottage is "Serene". We spent most of our time on the Porch. We always had our morning coffee outside in the morning air. There are two smaller beds on the porch that you can take an afternoon nap if you need. My friend loved the porch so much she slept on it for most of our nights."Just like camping outside without the bugs! Thank you Mary & Logan for sharing your cottage with us. A little peace of Heaven. Wonderful Memories we will always Treasure! Be well and stay safe. Nancy, Rizzo, Linda and Bentley.

Quiet and Relaxing Week

This was our third stay at Togus Pond (our second this year). We felt like we had the pond to yourselves, it was so quiet. The cottage is very clean and well stocked. Mary, the owner, is always helpful. Wish we could stay again!

Excellent rental and location

This cottage has everything that you need for a relaxing and peaceful vacation by a nice and quiet small lake. Mary has stocked the cottage incredibly well, with more than one would need to provide as a vrbo rental, including many kitchen items. The window aircon was much appreciate for the 2 weeks that we were there given it was in the nineties. The porch as others have said is where you will spend 90% of your time when in the house, the other rooms are good, but the porch is huge and overlooks the lake. As with all older cottages, it has its quirks, such as mainly older 2 pronged outlets, but Mary provides extension cords and adapters to make it work. The yard is open to the lake, and no neighbors on either side make it a quiet location. Definitely recommend

About the host

Hosted by Mary MacDonald-Murray

Logan and Mary are a physician and a school office administrator, respectively, parents of three children, who live in Freeport, Maine, but love to visit our camp on Young's Point.

Why they chose this property

This is a family home, built by Logan's great-great-grandfather on land that's been in our family since the late 1800s. It was insulated and winterized in the late 1980s, with a drilled well installed in 1992 and a new septic system in 1999; the furnace, which provides hot water as well as heat, was replaced in 2019. The location is private, with no immediate neighbors, on a well-maintained gravel road.

What makes this property unique

Augusta is Maine's state capital, with local attractions such as historic Fort Western and the Maine State Museum, both ideal for kids and history buffs. The Maine coast, including Portland, is about an hour away. This spot on Togus Pond is an ideal starting point for day trips to many different places in Maine, as well as a great spot to spend a relaxing day.
