Picture this: You wake to the sound of ocean waves as Acadia’s mountains glow amber and gold in the October light. Mount Desert Island at peak foliage is nature’s masterpiece—where rugged coastline meets pristine lakes, all dressed in autumn’s finest.

This isn’t just any retreat location. This is where mountains literally rise from the sea, where crystal-clear Jordan Pond reflects forests on fire with color, where you can watch the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain (the first place it touches the U.S.) and know you’re exactly where you need to be.
