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!!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

Beautiful location on the lake and amazing view from the screened in porch. The owner is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Unfortunately we were there because our Dad was at the Togus VA hospice and the house provided our family a place to gather and be together. The kitchen is well stocked, the basement has lots of room for sleeping and playing. The living room and kitchen is open and great for family gatherings. Highly recommend this home!

Family Vacation

The home was well maintained and very pleasant, lots of room and stocked with everything we needed. Togus Pond is a very nice pond. We were a little disappointed with the area for swimming (rather rocky and weedy), but we still enjoyed the water and the canoe and kayaks.

Best back porch around!

What a lovely place! Incredible screened in porch, lots of beds and a quiet relaxing spot on the water. We didn’t receive any check in info until I inquired an hour beforehand but the hosts were quick to respond and it all worked great! Lots of places to hang out, took a canoe and kayak out on the water, a fantastic getaway for our family (even with me not reading carefully and not bringing our own sheets, hah!), we loved it and would stay again!

Awesome location

The property was spacious for our group of 7. Plenty of room for kids to stretch out and enjoy. The fire pit was nice for our s’mores night and the sunsets topped it off. Laundry on site is a bonus. Not too much room for pantry items but we made it work. Overall we were pleased.

Very relaxing! Great screened in porch where we spent most of our time if we weren’t fishing or floating in the water. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. Very clean. It was a great family vacation! Only negative was there are many big rocks and seaweed in the water. No place to walk in. So kayaking, canoeing and floating are your best choices. Would go back!!

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!
