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!!

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??!!

Family Fun and Loon Calls
My husband and I plus our adult son, our daughter, son-in-law and our two young grandsons stayed at the lake house the last two weeks of August. What a beautiful, peaceful place. We loved hearing the loons calling every evening. We enjoyed using the provided paddle boat and kayaks. The outside of the house could use a little updating, specifically the front door deck, but the inside was renovated recently and very clean. We had a small family reunion on the Sunday after we checked in. The place was perfect for the gathering with plenty of outside seating provided between the screened in porch, deck and lower patio. Everyone enjoyed swimming, fishing, and paddling. The only problem we encountered was when we arrived the lock box was difficult to open. It was apparent other renters had trouble with the lock box as the door knob was loose. I would rent the house again.

Tranquil Stay
Perfect location for a quiet getaway with beautiful views of the pond and singing from Loons was great. The transition from land to the dock via the big rock covered in moss was a little difficult for someone with post foot surgery stability issues but doable. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The cleaners could have done a better job but overall it was sufficiently clean. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Great location!
We had a nice stay at this property. Overall very clean on the inside….the only complaint inside would be that we opened the windows to get fresh air and the windows were filthy with dirt and bugs. I bought some Clorox Cleanup and they wiped right up so we could keep them open. The quilts on the beds could use a good cleaning but we washed them and all good! Our biggest complaint would be that as you walk onto the dock it is very dangerous. Uneven wood and a huge rock you have to walk on to get there. My elderly father could not get onto the dock. The back patio by fire pit was awesome once we cleaned off the sticks and debris. The back porch was great also. The yard is very messy and could use some work. A lot of debris, rotting wood and we had to mark a big piece of wire sticking out of the ground so we didn’t step on it! Suggestions would be some more mirrors and hooks for our towels! Overall we had a great week!

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!

We cannot wait to go back!
The house was extremely clean and well stocked with necessities. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of places to sleep. A few things to note: - If you are a bass fisher - there are a ton of bass in this pond. - The pond was very clean. - There are a lot of shallow rocks on both sides of the dock we were able to fit a 19inch bass tracker pro at the end of the dock no problem however. - The bed sheets are not included (VRBO listing says they were - the host did offer to bring us some however). - If you need to charge anything on the dock (boat batteries), you will need at least 150 feet of extension cords - the closest plug is in the basement. This house provided an amazing week at the lake, we cannot wait to return. The host was very easy to work with and extremely accommodating.

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

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!

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!

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!

A Fun, Relaxing Getaway
The house was a perfect fit for our family of 11. Everyone had enough space to relax and unwind, and retreat, when necessary, lol. The screened in porch provided a charming gathering space for games and conversation. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, olive oil, etc. and pots, pans, baking dishes, cookie sheets and a crock pot. Having 2 separate televisions on 2 different levels came in handy on our one rainy day as we were able to watch Mission Impossible and Encanto simultaneously with each age level in their respective spot! You exit the lower level onto a nice, newer patio with built in firepit, Adirondack chairs and a beloved picnic table (we bought a table cloth to go over it). The walk down to the private dock is tough on the feet (crushed rock) so you'll want flip flops or water shoes. The uneven wooden platforms leading onto the dock would benefit from an upgrade. We enjoyed swimming, fishing and kayaking. The water was the perfect temperature! Communication with Joseph was fast and positive throughout the week. We would definitely encourage others to stay here!
