About this property

Cozy Haven: A Lakeside Cottage Near Acadia

Cozy Haven is a new year-round private cottage built in 2020, situated among evergreens just 100 feet from the Toddy Pond shore with 242 feet of frontage. It’s just 7/10 of a mile off Acadia Highway heading to Bar Harbor. We are 30 miles from Acadia national Park (31 miles from Bar Harbor), 8 miles from Bucksport, 16 miles to Blue Hill, 19 miles from Castine, 28 miles to Belfast, and 27 miles to Bangor (International Airport). So we are strategically located for you to discover the wonders of the Maine coast.

Enjoy cooking fresh Maine lobster and blueberry pie in a full kitchen, or grill in the open air on a gas grill. The living room is the perfect place to sit and relax after a day of adventure in Acadia or kayaking right on the pond, while you watch your favorite program on a 55" 4K flat screen TV while streaming Sling TV. Rest comfortably upstairs on a king-sized bed in the master bedroom or a double/twin bunk bed in the 2nd bedroom, or a queen-sized sofa bed in the family room. There is a full bath with shower located upstairs and a half bath downstairs.
Listening to the loon calls and watching the sunset on the lake from the dock or in the new screened in deck area, gives a sense of tranquility any time of day. Parking for 2 vehicles is available for each cottage.

Guests for our 3Havens all share private access to the dock and swim platform. We recommend that guests use water shoes while wading in the lake. Each unit has its own fire pit area and free use of 2 kayaks and a canoe (a waiver of liability must be signed for usage). We provide approved life-preservers in the bin by the kayaks. Wood for the fire pits may be purchased at Hannaford Supermarket or various roadside stands. Prices run from $5-7 per bundle. The dock goes in the lake the 2-3rd week of May and is removed the 1st week of November.

We like to leave our guests to themselves but try to be available when needed. However, should you need us for anything, we live on the same property as the cottages. Our other 2 vacation rentals are: Toddy Haven, a brand new first floor apartment furnished with a full kitchen, 1 full bath, sleeping up to 5; and Rocky Haven, a home away from home comes with washer, dryer, and includes a dishwasher, and sleeps up to 8. You can find each of them on our website: www.3Havens.com.

No animals are allowed on our properties due to family members with severe asthma issues. No exceptions.

Lovely setting

We stayed at Cozy Haven for a week while visiting family. We had a few side trips to Acadia and Ellsburg. Enjoyed the screen porch every morning with coffee and dinner at night. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen.

Cozy Haven is a perfect name!

There is so much to love about this place. So peaceful. So secure. In addition, it is clean, feels new, and is welcoming. Mark (owner) gave us a welcoming call on check-in to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. We loved our stay and left feeling refreshed. : )

Tiny getaway on Toddy

The house overall is very clean and well kept with modern finishes and simple decor. Getting to and from town is relatively easy by car compared to other locations on Toddy. Access to the lake is relatively easy and not overly steep with a nice dock and swimming platform! However, parking is very tight on a steep hill and the location is difficult to navigate if any party members have mobility difficulties. We had expected a little more space from the photographs but what you see is what you get. Window units did well to cool off the upstairs rooms, but guests downstairs were a little warm on a few days. Be sure to read the contract well prior to booking as the hosts do have a few additional requirements compared to other rentals we have stayed in. Overall I do recommend this host and location and we did greatly enjoy our stay.

Share with Neighbors; Close to Acadia

The cottage was nice. Very thankful we didn’t meet another vehicle on the road to get there. It was very narrow. Once there, everything in the cottage was great. I didn’t realize how close the neighbors would be, but it worked out fine. Loved that it was easy to get to Acadia for a day trip.

First vacation with the grand babies.

This property was a wonderful fit for two small children ages 3 and 1. There were four adults and two children on our trip. For a small cottage it fit 6 people very comfortably. We had everything we needed to make this an amazing first vacation for our grandchildren. We hope to visit again.

Beautiful Maine coast rental

The property was extra clean with nice amenities & thoughtful attention to comfort. It was cozy. Master bed was comfy & linens were nice. Mark was most accommodating! We highly recommend for a couple who likes a bit of space & privacy. Views of Toddy pond with kayaks & fire pits are a nice extra. BTW: Toddy Pond is a large lake!

Perfect spot to get away from it all!

Where to start….this spot is a gem! Great location for sight seeing and even better location to relax and enjoy the serene setting of the lake (pond). House is beautiful, immaculately clean with great touches like a screened in porch. The floating dock was a big hit. Thank you Fowler’s for being wonderful hosts and sharing your lovely spot with us. We will be back!

Magical

We stayed in Cozy Haven for a week - 2 adults and 2 older kids (14/11) and found it delightful. The cabin is brand new and exactly as listed. It’s extremely well-stocked (a basket of breakfast foods, full first-aid kit, lots of towels, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen). The lake is magical - it’s very quiet and the dock provides perfect swimming access. We got up early every day to head to Acadia for hikes but made it home by mid-afternoon to enjoy the lake and fire pit. We used the provided kayaks and life vests almost daily. The lakefront is shared with the neighboring cottage (same owners) but there’s plenty of room to spread out. Mark and Laurie are great hosts with clear communication. We can’t wait to come back.

Quiet and Peaceful Spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Toddy Haven. Mark, was very helpful in answering the questions we had. The place was nice and clean with all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Fire pit is few steps away from the cabin with a great view of the pond. We would love to go back during summer.

Great getaway

Today pond was a beautiful place for a nice little get away! It’s in a nice private area and having the water right out front with the dock is so beautiful. The fire pit and benches were very nice as well, we had a bonfire two out of the 3 nights. The cabin itself was fine, beds were comfy, nice linens, things were clean, it’s a little outdated and the bathroom is off of the porch so you have to go out into the cold to use the bathroom which is not ideal. But overall it was a great experience, the owners did a good job communicating and left breakfast items/snacks which was nice. It was a beautiful location and we had a great time!!

Enjoyed Toddy Haven. Was relaxing and peaceful. Cabin was exceptionally clean. Had some trouble getting out of steep driveway so suggest parking at top if you don't have 4WD.

Lovely spot on Toddy Pond

Our family enjoyed a few days at Toddy Haven over Labor Day weekend. It was a peaceful spot to retreat to after exploring Acadia National Park. The rental is a classic 1930s cabin with updated amenities. We look forward to renting again!

Beautiful spot on the pond

We had a great time at the house and pond. The location was perfect. Close to lots of restaurants and hiking spots. It’s about an hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Great pond mountain is a few minutes away. It was a nice hike and beautiful view. The house came with a full kitchen, kayaks, canoes and fire pit. Don’t be discouraged by the term pond. The pond was pretty large. We look forward to a future trip here!

Perfect week at Toddy

It was a great week at Toddy Pond! Toddy Haven has everything we needed and more. Super clean and plenty of room. Such a great location, close to everything, but quiet and relaxing too. Plenty of fishing and swimming all day and sounds of the loons every night! We could not have for a better week! Highly recommend Toddy Haven!

I wish we had a longer vacation to enjoy this lovely getaway spot on Toddy Pond. The swimming was great, the loons were friendly and so were the fish. The cabin in a quintessential lake home but with many upgrades and very well equipped. The kids are ready to go back ASAP.

Everything a "5 Star" per our 5 yr old

We loved our stay at Toddy Haven! Everything from the power outage (caused by a big storm) to the little personal touches made this experience an extremely memorable one for us. Mark came out to check on us and while we were chatting, the lights came on! (My 5yr old thought he performed magic). Both our girls loved the bunkhouse and my husband got to build a fire two nights in a row, which he thoroughly enjoyed! We would recommend this house and property for anyone looking for a place of solace, beauty, and inspiration, especially in the fall! Thank you, Fowler's!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Laurie Fowler

Host profile image
Mark is an entrepreneur, a retired pastor, former professor, husband, and proud father. After living overseas for 14 years in Ecuador, we returned to our home state of Maine. Mark likes to sail, fish, build, paint and plays pool. Laurie is a musician, writer, wife and devoted mother. She likes to read, hike, garden and cook. We enjoy going out to new restaurants, sight-seeing, traveling, going to movies and concerts together. Our favorite destinations to date have been Mexico and Italy, and we look forward to visiting the British Isles one day. We have been married for 45 years and have 4 children who have all flown the coop but come around every so often with our seven grandchildren; all to our great delight!

Why they chose this property

Though situated just 7/10s of a mile off Route 1, it is such a peaceful and secluded spot here. The lake is deep and clean and the fishing is great. Nearly every evening and morning, loons can be heard gently calling across the water.

What makes this property unique

Though secluded, it is really close to so many of the sights people from all over the world come to visit.
