Welcome to The Downeast Escape — a storybook cottage tucked away on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island. Full of charm, comfort, and coastal character, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. It is just a short drive from the hiking trails, rocky coastline, and scenic drives Acadia National Park is known for.
Inside, you'll find cottage charm throughout, a well-equipped kitchen, and warm, welcoming spaces designed to help you feel at home. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a small family trip, or a solo recharge, The Downeast Escape invites you to slow down, breathe in the salty air, and savor the quieter side of island life.
Hot Tub & Outdoor Paradise:
Enjoy complimentary morning coffee or tea on the back deck and end the day with a soak in the covered hot tub or a night by the bonfire. Don’t forget ingredients to make s’mores as you can find marshmallow roasting sticks in the kitchen.
There is a gas grill and outdoor table to enjoy the beautiful summer nights. The fully fenced yard offers plenty of space to unwind — perfect for pups to play or kids to roam freely.
Kitchen & Dining:
The kitchen comes fully equipped with all standard appliances, a Keurig with a coffee pot, electric kettle, French press, a CrockPot, and more. The dining room table comfortably seats six.
