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.

In the house, one downstairs room can become a simple bedroom with a double bed foam mattress on the floor. 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.
