Summary: Aaron and Karen are the most gracious hosts! We had a wonderful time at Acadia yurts with our boys 10, 9, & 5. Great location and accommodations. Close to the national park, easy drives to hikes, beaches, food.
Rachel W. Jun 8, 2025 10:38:49 PM
Summary: Great place to stay. Very clean, quiet, kitchen with all the essentials, and the shower had hot water with good pressure.
Laura A. May 16, 2025 12:42:25 AM
Summary: We have stayed at Acadia Yurts three times now and have had a great experience each time. We will definitely be staying again in the future.
SPENCER W. May 13, 2025 12:00:51 PM
Summary: We stayed in the Flying Mountain Yurt with our dog and it was great! We arrived in the evening and the check-in was easy - instructions were emailed a few days before. The Yurt was clean and had everything we needed. Karen was responsive and we felt taken care of the whole time. The location of the Yurt was convenient and an easy drive to the different parts of Acadia and Bar Harbor. The yurt had information about local shops and things to do, which was helpful also. Walking our dog was easy and the stay overall was very relaxing. 100% recommend!

Summary: Beautiful and thoughtful place to stay. I felt close to nature and my partner didn’t have to go without access to any comfort. Our visit in early May meant rain was likely, so we planned on and got to enjoy the wellness center which was excellent. We also brought our dog along thanks to one of the pet-friendly yurts!

Summary: The yurt was beautiful and well equipped with everything we needed. Loved the property and the accessibility to things like the pantry, garbage, laundry, etc. Didnt get to enjoy the firepit or the yoga classes but will definitely be coming back! Location was great as well and decent distance to Acadia and Bar Harbor

Michael C. Oct 21, 2024 10:50:42 PM
Summary: My wife and I stayed at Acadia Yurts for 5 incredible days. The property is beautiful and well maintained, quiet and peaceful, perfect for a week of relaxing and decompressing. It's a short 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and 30 minutes from Acadia National Park. Highly recommended!!
Jennifer R. Oct 13, 2024 06:23:54 AM
Summary: My dogs and I had the best week at Acadia Yurts. It was comfortable, clean, warm, and I loved being able to see the starts through through skylight at night! We had everything we needed, and nature right outside the door. The shared pantry was a fantastic idea, and we also appreciated having access to laundry. Time to set up Acadia Yurts 2.0 for people who want to live there permanently!

Summary: We traveled to ME to visit Acadia National Park (about 20-30 min drive depending on where you are visiting in the park). Given we were traveling with our 18m old, we weren't brave enough to camp but glamping was the perfect hybrid and the Acadia Yurts & Wellness Center was the perfect getaway. There was plenty of room both inside and out for our 18m old son and our 2 mini schnauzers to explore on grounds and we loved the proximity to the park without being in the heart of Bar Harbor (also a 20-25 min drive). We frequented Bar Harbor but also were able to check out some of the cuter "lil sibling" neighborhoods such as SW Harbor and NE Harbor which both had great restaurants and excellent ice cream shops. Recommendations from our stay: definitely try the blueberry pie at Side Street Cafe and enjoy ice cream at the Salt Shop in SW Harbor. The scones at Colonel's in NE Harbor were delicious. With an infant, make sure you research hikes in advance - we recommend Jordan Pond Loop (my favorite hike) as well as the Carriage Roads and Ship's Harbor. There were many more on our list that we didn't have time to get to. Our hosts - Karen and Aaron - were so communicative and delightful. We wished we had a chance to check out the massages, floats, and yoga available onsite but also ran out of time!
