Om boendet

Tranquil Retreat on Woods Pond

En pärla för paret som uppskattar lugn. Titta igenom träden till det orörda dammet som är hem för ler och annat djurliv du är omgiven av den naturliga världen.

Även bara en mil från staden och 40 minuter från Mt. Desert Island och Acadia Park, inställningen är långt ifrån grannar och har med promenader längs stranden eller på grusvägarna i grannskapet. Anse detta som en perfekt plats för en andra (eller första) smekmånad.

En spiraltrappa leder upp till ett mysigt sovrum under takfoten. Ligga i sängen och titta på molnen eller örnarna genom takfönster. Lyssna på de mystiska, spökande ljuden från loonerna som simmar runt sjön hela sommaren.

Granit bänkskivor nådar köket och strålande värme håller trägolv varma på en kylig morgon. Tvärs över en liten bro finns det en 12 'x 12' skärmad lusthus med tre Adirondack-stolar och utsikt över dammet - en trevlig plats att sitta och titta på solen.

Från bryggan kan du glida din kanot eller kajak i vattnet eller ta ett dopp. Woods Pond är tyst med få utombordsmotorer och inga vattenskoter.

Verktyg finns i en separat byggnad så att bara kylskåpet gör något ljud för att störa din tystnad eller kreativa spel.

Det finns wi-fi-åtkomst för dem som vill hålla kontakten. Mobiltelefoner får god mottagning här. En tvättmaskin / torktumlare gör semesterlivet enkelt!

En gång presenterad i New York Times resesektion, är denna plats för dig som vill ha något speciellt.

The tranquil retreat on Woods Pond was the perfect long weekend girls get away! The location was so serene, peaceful and quiet, but also close to the grocery store, restaurants and more. It felt like we had our own piece of paradise! The dogs also loved running down to the water everyday and swimming! It is such a beautiful property and lovely house. Vicki and Howard were also very responsive, kind, welcoming hosts. We will definitely be back!

A perfect retreat

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!

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. Elizabeth

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.

A starry, peaceful retreat

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.

Wonderful Maine Getaway

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!

Sanctuary

A serene sanctuary perfectly in tune with the magnificent nature that surrounds it. The stunning architecture features abundant windows that bathe this space in natural light, eliciting an instant feeling of harmony. Vicki and Howard are warm and wonderful hosts and we wanted for nothing during our stay - except of course for more time. We were seeking a place with good healing energy and we found it here in abundance. Thank you both so much for sharing this magical retreat.

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.

An Ideal Idyll

My husband and I were looking for a quiet, rejuvenating vacation in a beautiful setting where we could relax, read, explore outdoors, and eat good seafood! We found a little piece of heaven here. We couldn’t recommend this place more highly. The Woods Pond retreat is gorgeously situated on its own, down a dirt drive, nestled in the quiet woods. The owners (who met us on our arrival and were available should we have needed anything during our stay) have built a beautiful and comfortable house with such care and attention to detail. An unexpected treat were the skylights above the bed – nothing like waking up in the morning surrounded by the view of blue and sunny skies. The screened gazebo a few yards from the house became one of my favorite places at any time of day to read, write or just contemplate the sun streaking through the trees and the shimmering water of the pond. The nearby Activity Shop made renting a canoe a breeze, and we enjoyed many sunset excursions on the pond, watching the ospreys and the loons. It was so tranquil, the house felt very removed and yet was conveniently located – less than five minutes to the supermarket, and a few minutes more into the lovely town of Blue Hill. Acadia was not far away, but we found so many hikes and things to explore all around the Blue Hill peninsula, we ditched plans to join the fray there and took advantage of the peacefulness and stunning beauty around us. I wish I could bottle the unbelievable fragrance of warm pine and salt water. This area is a mecca of organic farming, small batch breweries and coffee roasteries, lobsters, blueberry fields, coastal inlets, and the absolutely friendliest people we’ve met anywhere (and we live in the notoriously friendly mid-west). A highlight of our trip was the lovely concerts we attended at the Kniesel Hall Chamber Music Festival. We are now members of the Blue Hill Heritage Trust and have our own library cards, so we certainly hope to return to this incredibly special place.

Fantastic Fall

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!

Heaven!

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.

Don’t waste your money, find another stay

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.

Om värden

Värdens profilbild
I'd like very much to introduce you to our Woods Pond Retreat. It's a place that I absolutely love and treasure the days spent here, often alone, just bathing in the silence or in the cool waters of the pond. Sharing the retreat with others has proved to be a rewarding adventure, trusting people I don't know in advance with something deeply precious to me.

Varför värden valde detta boende

We built this house close to where we live because we wanted to be able to retreat regularly -- slip away from the pressure of our busy, committed lives. Being near the pond, the presence of loons and other wildlife, and the simple quiet that sometimes descends made this location just perfect. It's easy to slip a canoe or kayak into the water, and there aren't any jet skis or big power boats.

Now I choose to share this idylic spot with others, realizing that this sort of place doesn't exist very often in our cynical, difficult world. I hope you will join others who have found this beautiful place a place for new intimacies -- with yourself, with your partner, with the natural world. Welcome.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Personally, I spend a lot of time either reading or just looking out the windows, letting my being settle into the moment. Quiet inside, quiet outside. It takes a little time, a day or so to let that happen, and it's so delicious.

I take walks, go for a paddle, talk with my dog and sometimes take the peace with me on a trip to Bar Harbor or to visit a friend, returning in time to slip into bed and listen to the loons talking to each other.
