Built in the 1850s, our bed and breakfast (an example of the Italianate architectural style)
is nestled in historic Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. Boerum Hill is an enchanting residential
neighborhood convenient to Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope,
and just a short ride or walk to lower Manhattan.
Stroll down quiet tree-lined roads or explore Smith St., Court St. and Atlantic Avenue for a
host of restaurants, boutiques, and everything from antiques to (frozen) zombies.
Our urban escape:
In 2004, Elizabeth purchased a house and moved with her daughter Adrienne to Brooklyn's
Boerum Hill. The pair had often discussed a future plan: opening a bed and breakfast
“somewhere” in the country, anticipating an eventual departure from New York City. However,
as they discovered the quiet and eclectic charms of the Heights and Hills area, the discussion
took a new turn: what about right here?
In 2005, a friend came to stay for a few weeks and caught Elizabeth staying up late working
on the plans for the future B&B. The friend had one question: When are you going to quit
planning and actually do it? You have an amazing house right here!
In 2006, after reading an article in the Brooklyn Paper highlighting the desperate need for
more lodging in Boerum Hill and the near-city section of Brooklyn, Elizabeth and Adrienne
refurbished two floors of 168 Bergen Street. The next year, they opened two more rooms to
provide greater flexibility and choice to guests who continuously sold out the house.
The name? Escape. The idea? To provide friendly, safe, comfortable rooms in a welcoming
house with lots of light and grace. Escape is a quiet retreat tucked just outside the hectic and
congested thoroughfares of Manhattan. The rooms hold a blend of modern and antique
furniture and artwork from around the world, but the effect is restful and casual. There are no
collections of cluttery Victorian furniture nor any installations of lace or ceramics.
Breakfast conversations change daily with the guests, though frequent topics are politics and
plays (both local and abroad). Escape has hosted orchestras, designers, actors, directors,
scientists, professors, artists, and authors from across the US and around the globe.
If you have friends or family coming to visit, or have ever wanted to explore the unique
charms of Brooklyn - from chef-owned restaurants and shops featuring local designers to
historic architecture and modern development - then Escape Guesthouse is the place for you!
