Connect with nature - Tranquil Downeast Escape, Near Acadia & Sunrise Trail
Tranquil Downeast Escape, Near Acadia & Sunrise Trail
Take it easy at this unique, secluded, and tranquil getaway. Tucked away in the heart of Maine’s coastal wilderness, our home offers the perfect balance of "off-the-map" privacy and convenient access to the best of Downeast Maine. Whether you’re here to hike the granite peaks of Acadia or cycle the Sunrise Trail, this is your peaceful home base.
The Location
Experience the rugged beauty of Maine without the tourist crowds. We are perfectly positioned for day trips in every direction:
Ellsworth (15 mins): Your hub for local dining, breweries, and organic groceries.
Schoodic Peninsula (30 mins): The "quiet side" of Acadia National Park—stunning views with half the traffic.
Bar Harbor & Acadia Main Entrance (45 mins): Easy access to Cadillac Mountain and the Park Loop Road.
Bangor (55 mins): The nearest major airport (BGR) and urban amenities.
Adventure at Your Doorstep
You don’t have to drive far to find the magic of Maine. We are located just minutes from:
The Sunrise Trail: 85 miles of multi-use trails for biking, walking, or ATV adventures.
Blackwoods Scenic Byway: One of the most beautiful drives in the state, cutting through forests and past hidden ponds.
Local Secret Beaches: Enjoy quiet Maine shorelines just a short drive away.
The Space
Designed for those looking to unplug and recharge, the property is surrounded by natural beauty and silence. After a day of exploring the coast, return home to a secluded setting where the only neighbors are the trees.
Guest Notes: This property is ideal for travelers who want to experience the "Real Maine." We recommend a car for exploring the surrounding scenic byways and coastal towns.
While our home is optimized for the ultimate comfort of three guests, we are happy to accommodate groups of up to four. For your convenience, we provide a high-quality full-size air mattress and an additional single mattress to ensure everyone has a restful night’s sleep.
