Tranquillo rifugio sullo stagno di boschi
A proposito di questa casastruttura in affitto
Un gioiello per la coppia che apprezza la tranquillità. Guardando attraverso gli alberi allo stagno incontaminato che ospita i lunatici e altri animali selvatici, sei circondato dal mondo naturale.
Anche se a solo un miglio dalla città e 40 minuti dal Monte. Desert Island e Acadia Park, l'ambiente è lontano dai vicini e ha passeggiate lungo la riva o sulle strade di ghiaia del quartiere. Considera questo un posto perfetto per una seconda (o prima) luna di miele.
Una scala a chiocciola conduce ad un'accogliente camera da letto sotto la grondaia. Sdraiati sul letto e osserva le nuvole o le aquile attraverso i lucernari. Ascolta i suoni misteriosi e inquietanti dei lunatici che nuotano intorno al lago per tutta l'estate.
I ripiani in granito impreziosiscono la cucina e il calore radiante mantiene caldi i pavimenti in legno in una fredda mattina. Dall'altra parte di un piccolo ponte c'è un gazebo schermato 12 'x 12' con tre sedie Adirondack e una vista sul laghetto - un bel posto per sedersi e guardare il tramonto.
Dal molo è possibile scivolare la canoa o il kayak in acqua o fare una nuotata. Woods Pond è silenzioso con pochi motori fuoribordo e senza moto d'acqua.
Le utenze si trovano in un edificio separato, quindi solo il frigorifero fa rumore per disturbare il silenzio o il gioco creativo.
C'è l'accesso wi-fi per coloro che desiderano rimanere in contatto. I telefoni cellulari ricevono una buona ricezione qui. Una lavatrice / asciugatrice semplifica la vita delle vacanze!
Un tempo presente nella sezione viaggi del New York Times, questo posto è per coloro che desiderano qualcosa di speciale.
Si prega di prenotare da sabato a sabato.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Woods Pond. The house is beautiful with a well equipped kitchen and large windows and a side porch for taking in the views. The location was great, allowing us to kayak on the pond and easily get to some local land trust properties and Acadia NP. We appreciated being able to bring our dog, who loves to hike and swim!

Terrific spot. Easy drive to Acadia and offers a spot to get away from all of the tourists and relax afterwards. Canoeing around the lake in the evenings was bliss. Good as it gets.

The house was beautiful, also the views from the house were nice as well. You can see the sunset from the backyard. We have a nice time at the property.

We had a wonderful time at Woods Pond - the quiet was unlike anything we have experienced for many years and the starlit walks were well worth the trip. We were very comfortable in the spacious home and had everything we needed for a restful time away - the radiant heat was a plus. Special thanks to the hosts for responding rapidly to the need for plowing the driveway after a beautiful but quite slippery snowfall.

Vicki's house on the pond is a peaceful spot to spend contemplative time in coastal Maine. I was there for five nights. I rented a kayak from a place down the road (which delivered!) and paddled around the pond each day. I had some nighttime paddles, too. Amazing stars, crying loons. The woodwork inside and the natural moss garden outside are beautiful, and the house is well-equipped for cooking. I had to lead Zoom meetings of about 30 participants with multiple applications open and had no problems with the internet. But if you can avoid doing work while you're there, even better!

This house is beautiful and sits in a blissfully quiet setting!
My husband and I just returned from a three week stay during which we swam in the pond daily, canoed, hiked and biked.
All we could hear were the loons and we discovered a bald eagle perched on a nearby rock in the pond one evening.
Everything in the house is comfortable and works well and our hosts were extremely helpful with everything.

These people are obsessed with their home, I felt like I was watched my whole stay. They even came by to take pictures of my license plate Because they were stupid enough to leave their Apple Computer tucked away in the closet, I am young but I actually have my own Apple laptop… I don’t need to steal theirs.Talk about offensive!! The owners are too cheap to hire a cleaner, i’ve been working summers on a professional cleaning crew for over 10 years so trust me I know. I SLEPT ON SEX STAINED SHEETS! During a pandemic!! Foul! They don’t hire cleaners, and then charged me extra for dishes left and furniture rearranged. Cleaners deal with this every single day!! The soaps were near empty and watered down. The spare sheets were ripped. I ended up going to the store and buying my own new bedding. If you’re over 5’7 expect to not be able to stand in the shower. The place is beautiful. The owners ruined my stay.

This is a really beautiful and cozy spot. The large windows and skylight were spectacular for watching the snow fall and the heated floors were appreciated by us and our pup :) Love the minimalist decor too which helps ease the stress out of your mind. Thanks for a wonderful stay Vicki!

We had an absolutely lovely time at Vicki’s place! She and her husband came to greet us and show us around the property when we arrived, and provided great tips for exploring the surrounding area. We rented a canoe from the activity to paddle around the pond (we basically had the pond to ourselves most of the stay, which is more like a small lake). The solitude and peacefulness of Vicki’s home made our stay extremely relaxing and we enjoyed all of the gorgeous views from the porch and screened in gazebo. We would absolutely visit again!

A peaceful escape in Maine's wilderness
This modern and cozy house provides everything needed for a peaceful getaway in a near perfect location if you are interested in hiking the Blue Hill area and visiting Acadia / Bar Harbor.
Owners were responsive, helpful and gave a tour of the house and useful information about the surrounding area. There's not much I can say to properly describe the tranquility of the location, including a winding path through the woods to both a screened gazebo with rustic furnishings designed for gazing at sunsets by the lake to the continuing trail to a private dock overlooking Third Pond (Woods Pond).
In addition to the peaceful setting of the property, there's gas and 2 supermarkets within 10 minute drive up the road, including the Blue Hill Co-op which includes vegan / vegetarian alternatives (an important factor in our family for vacation spots).
Overall, a location to escape the hustle / bustle of our modern lives, to listen to the loons haunting but enchanting calls across the pond and to explore the many local trails on Maine's coastal areas while staying in a unique architectural wonder of a house in a perfect location in Maine.

Nice quiet retreat
Close to everything in Blue Hill, yet secluded enough to be a quiet retreat. Calm, relaxing environment, with an attentive owner. Very nice rental.

This was a gem of a house - a perfect place for a couple to escape and relax in nature. It's well stocked and the kitchen is great. We loved sitting in the gazebo at sunset with a glass of wine and listening to the birds!

Beautiful Retreat in Blue Hill, ME
Cannot say enough positive things about this home!
Located in Blue Hill, Maine on Woods Pond, the house is private and set back in the woods right on the water. Although private, the house itself is located less than 10 minutes from downtown Blue Hill which is a quaint little town on the water filled with family owned shops and restaurants.
The house itself is beautifully designed and was custom built with guests in mind. The layout is open and bright with many windows to let in the natural light during the day. The kitchen is stocked with utensils, pots and dishes and has everything you would need for your stay. The bathroom even features a jacuzzi tub! Although we visited during the colder months, we were also impressed with how warm and comfortable the house was throughout both the day and night. Everything about the house was relaxing and accommodating, there was even a meditation room where we practiced yoga daily.
My fiance, I and our dogs have been to Maine many times, and I must say this was one of our favorite places yet! We enjoyed the relaxing vibes and exploring the area with our dogs while also spending a lot of time downtown and taking day trips to Acadia National Park (about 45 minutes - hour away).
The owners Vicki & Harold were super friendly and made sure to meet us when we arrived to show us around and make sure we were all set up and available if we had any questions. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be back :)

This was our 9th summer at the retreat.
The most peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, engaging and enriching experience.
For two weeks we took hikes every day around Blue Hill and Acadia, swam and kayaked in the pond. In the evening we sat in the screened in gazebo down by the lake and watched the sunset.

Peaceful paradise for two.
We spent a luxurious week at Woods Pond. Centrally located for many day trips, we found ourselves staying put for much of the time. We heard loons, saw a piliated woodpecker, watched the stars through the skylights lying in bed, discovered visual treats walking around the house and through the woods, and sat looking at the pond through the trees. It was a totally relaxing week. We’re already looking forward to a return trip.
We like to cook and the kitchen is well equipped to make that enjoyable. It was visually exciting to find wooden and pottery bowls that were not only functional but also beautiful. We loved having a meal at the table looking out to the pond.

Quiet
Thank you for a quiet release. The pond is stocked full of very large bass. Kayaking it was a lot of fun. All details were covered and the location is close to many fun day trips. Vicki and Howard are very accommodating for us and our dogs!

Beautiful woodland cottage
This home is indeed a tranquil retreat on Woods Pond. Warm, exceedingly comfortable and private, I highly recommend this place for anyone who seeks a respite in the Blue Hill area. Close to town and other conveniences, this cottage is one I will return to in the future. Vicki is a wonderful host.

a sanctuary for those seeking peace and tranquility.
My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home from September13-16th. The weather was perfect, the kayaking on the pond was amazing. We never saw another person the entire visit except when we drove to town for dinner at Arborvine, which we highly recommend. My husband played his acoustic guitar, worked on a small oil painting, I read and meditated and walked in the woods. So relaxing.
Vicky is the owner. She came by to greet us and answer questions and give instructions. She shares this lovely sacred space and appreciates knowing others enjoy it. We hope to return 💚

Perfect
What an amazing property! Private, perfectly designed, clean, quiet, on the water, a screened in gazebo.....there's not much more you could ask for in a vacation home. There's plenty to do or nothing to do, it's up to you. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking some less-traveled places on the Blue Hill peninsula. Many hikes we had the entire forest/mountain to ourselves. Holbrook Island Sanctuary was filled with great trails and we had them all to ourselves! We rented kayaks from the Activity Shop and explored the pond. We did hike in Acadia a few days, and the drive over isn't bad at all....but we avoided the construction zone. The kitchen of the house is well equipped if you enjoy cooking. We grilled amazingly fresh fish from the house/market up the street. We so appreciate that it was pet friendly, too. Really, it was a perfect week. We hope to return!

Happy Place
For eight seasons in a row we have called Woods Pond Retreat our "happy place." We look forward to returning to this idyllic spot every summer and long during the year for it's tranquility. The spaces, inside and out, are beautiful and calming. At night you hear the loons and lying under the skylights you can marvel at the stars. The Pond is in view from most windows with pine trees rimming the house. One would never know the Retreat is only a few minutes from the town of Blue Hill. Every year we browse the well known bookstore, savor the wine and cheese shop, visit the large library, and meander the surrounding towns. The hosts, Vicki and Howard are personable and helpful and respond in a very timely manner. Their love of the Retreat will fuel anyone's experience which makes it an even happier place.

Beautiful private retreat in the woods
I had the opportunity to stay in this unique and lovely home for a week in May, just as the weather was turning. I have been to Blue Hill dozens of times, and always enjoyed staying here, but this was indeed a retreat - both the setting and the house are situated in a private slice of woods and pond that make you feel like there is no one else around for miles. The charm of having a screened in area near the pond to sit and read or just listen to nature, the availability of being able to canoe or kayak right outside your door and the thoughtful design of the house itself with so many windows and views and soaring ceiling height in the main room was great. I really enjoyed coming back after a long day out, cooking and listening to music and watching the sun set. Highly recommend - it is also super convenient to town and any of the major roads through the area.

Great place for a quiet, out of the way stay.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this property. The owners were great and got back to me quickly when making the reservation. Howard met me upon my arrival and showed me around. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen was set up great. I live in Boston and very much enjoyed the peace and tranquility of Woods Pond. Next time I plan on renting a kayak and exploring. I will most definitely be coming back.

Woods Pond Retreat
Woods Pond Retreat welcomes you with a deep, silent, loving embrace. This is a place of concentric circles of loving kindness. Woods and Pond embrace this dwelling whose curved walls, folded ceilings and 30 windows embrace you and the woods and the pond. Outside in. Inside out.
The stillness and quiet begin to work their magic on you the minute you get out of the car. Kannon, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, greets you on the front porch. Awanadjo, "Small Misty Mountain", Blue Hill, is the Guardian Spirit watching over this place.
The wind finds its many voices by gently and sometimes not so gently blowing through twisted and gnarled cedars, balsam firs, high bush blueberries, and low growing shrubs of all kinds.
Bullfrogs, loons, coyotes and crickets sing the nightway chant. There are dragonflies of all colors.
By the dock, pickerelweed and lilies bloom. This the best place for dragonfly viewing. Kayaks and canoes are the only water craft plying the pond.
The bedroom is shaped liked an origami crane. Sleeping in the warm bed, the heart of the crane, one is surrounded by the starry night shining in through all the windows above and around.
In the main room sitting at the round cherry wood table, looking out the third window from the west, there by the pond, stands a tree. I called it "tuning fork" tree. It is a cedar. Be prepared to be re-attuned.
The Pond and these Woods speak softly, slowly and clearly. Be prepared to weep.
Remember to ask about the secret of the Kitchen Kannon.

Woods, Pond, Cottage and So Much More
My wife and I could not have picked a better place for our vacation in Blue Hill. Vicki and Howard made us feel most welcome on our arrival. Their cottage is nestled among the trees, but offers an open design with great natural light and a tranquil view of the pond. We enjoyed many hours at the cottage and on the pond -- a porch for reading and daydreaming, abundant bird life (including loons), comfortable swimming, pleasant paddling.
The cottage is just minutes from the markets, restaurants and shops of Blue Hill as well as the fabulous chamber music performances at Kneisel Hall. Short drives took us to other beautiful ocean side towns, farmers' markets and the nearby parks including Holbrook Sanctuary.

Perfect Tranquil Retreat
This is truly a “tranquil retreat” in a beautiful setting. The house is comfortable and thoughtfully constructed. The high ceilings and the curved bank of windows facing the pond allows for a beautiful view and a feeling of being a part of the quite pine forest. The carved spiral staircase to the second floor is gorgeous and the attention to detail in the house is in sharp contrast to what is seen in most rental properties. I’m sure this is because the owner’s built the house without ever intending to rent it. I hope they continue to do so as we loved our stay and hope to return next year. We would recommend it without hesitation.
