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.
