Photos and Description of the Blue Hill vacation house rental 2 Bedrooms, 1 1/2 Baths

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. 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. 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 or listen to the loons. 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.

Heaven

Rellimarual USA
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Remarkably beautiful in every detail, with thoughtful and sensitive owners, this place is my ideal cabin in the woods. Quiet, peaceful, spacious and well lit. It's wonderful to be right on the lake for a tranquil afternoon swim if you're not keen on the boisterous scene at the local beaches. The setting is gorgeous and it's surprisingly close to town for shopping & meals. I even appreciated the *lack* of such modern "conveniences" as a microwave, TV, AC and dishwasher. One thing: it's really better for singles or a couple, as the second bedroom is really small. A great place for a romantic getaway, absolutely.

Vacations are seldom absolutely perfect, but our week at your cozy and beautiful retreat was about as close as one can get. What a wonderful spot! Your house is beautiful and comfortable, and wonderfully private and peaceful. Hopefully we left it as you would have wished. We would love to take it next year if you are still renting. Maybe we could coordinate it with the dates of the “Wine and Food Festival”. This was also a perfect spot for our dog, Zorro. His activities were very much like home. We climbed Blue Hill, hiked in Acadia, Caterpillar Hill, Holbrook Island Preserve, and along the Neskeag Peninsula at low tide with our friends who live in Brooklin. Just great!
