Vacation Rental Description
This little house is a true gem. Perfect for those looking for a quiet, simple retreat, the house is nestled in the trees on the edge of Woods Pond in Blue Hill. And we just lowered the price to adjust for these times!
Though only a mile from town and a half-hour from Mt. Desert Island, the setting is tranquil with walks along the shore or the gravel roads in the neighborhood. Consider this a perfect place for a second (or first)honeymoon.
A cherry spiral stair leads up to a cozy bedroom under the eaves. Lie in bed and watch the clouds or eagles through the skylights. Listen to the mysterious, haunting sounds of the loons who swim around the lake all summer.
Granite counter tops grace the kitchen and radiant heat keeps the hardwood floors warm on a chilly morning. Across a little bridge there is a 12' x 12' screened gazebo with three Adirondack chairs and a view of the pond -- a nice spot to sit and watch the sun set.
From here you can slip your canoe or kayak into the water. Woods Pond is a quiet pond with few outboard motors and no jet skis.
Utilities are in a separate building so only the refrigerator makes any noise to disturb your silence or creative play.
Please book Saturday to Saturday.

Situated just a few feet from the edge of the pond with a view of Blue Hill Mountain you have an opportunity to relax and unwind. The gazebo across a little foot bridge is perfect for quiet reading or a glass of wine while you watch the sun set in the evening. Wildlife abounds and there are several perfect places to slip a canoe or kayak into the water.
This year we've added a gas grill, and installed wireless Internet in case you just must check your e-mail or write a book.
It's one of those places where there's little to do and you're never bored. And when you want a bit more adventure you can grab your bicycle or walking shoes and head into Blue Hill, climb the Mountain, or drive a little more than 45 minutes and find yourself in Acadia National Park. There you can hike mountains, swim in the ocean, walk the carriage roads, drive the scenic loop road, or grad a free bus to all corners of Mt. Desert Island.

The coast of Maine is rugged and has offered vacation opportunities for centuries. All kinds of people come here and find just exactly what they're looking for -- quiet and adventure or some combination of the two. Come in the winter and the list changes with cross-country skiing, ice skating or ice fishing, or just sitting quietly with the splendor of winter laid out before you while you curl up with a book.
