Perfect stay on the quiet side of MDI

We had everything we needed for a base camp as we visited a friend and of course spent most of our time exploring Acadia. This was the most economical place we could find and it was a score for sure. Hosts were on site most days and very helpful. Utilized the laundry facility where board games and extra kitchen items were supplied. Thanks for a great stay, we’ll be sure to come back! Cheers.

Cutest and comfiest tiny house!!

My partner and I LOVED our stay at Acadia Yurts!! It was the perfect place to have as a home base as we spent the week hiking and exploring the towns around us, perfectly quiet and peaceful which allowed us to very comfortably recharge. The tiny house we stayed in for the week was extremely clean and the hosts were super accommodating and responsive. The property really made our trip perfect, we are so grateful!

Beautiful spot and spotless tiny home!

Stayed three nights in the Precipice Tiny Home with a girlfriend of mine. The tiny home was spotless upon arrival and we both loved the high ceilings. Great layout for two people. Loved having coffee out front in the mornings. I’ve been coming to this area for 20 years and I would definitely recommend this property - it’s nice and quiet - amazing sleeps oh and the rain shower head was so nice that I took down the brand!

The place was very clean, you have your own space, and it’s close enough to the park and the different harbors in the area. Would highly recommend the tiny house for couples looking to visit Maine.

Living large in a tiny house!

Loved the experience we had at Acadia Yurts. We stayed in a tiny house and it was perfect for the two of us. Well equipped and comfortable furnishings. My only complaint was getting in/out of the bed as both sides were against the walls. Was awkward, but not a deal breaker. Probably the best shower I’ve ever had! Aaron checked in with us a couple of times and was very responsive. We liked being away from the hustle/bustle of Bar Harbor. Discovered a local restaurant called “eat a pita” which we went to twice. Delish!. Highly recommend Acadia Yurts!

Tiny bit of paradise

My husband and I stayed in the precipice tiny house. It had everything we needed for a comfortable week’s stay. The bed was comfortable, shower nice and hot, and the shelving and baskets throughout provided ample space for all of our things. Loved the location! If you’re going to Acadia, stay here. Wonderful hosts!

Tiny Home

We stayed in one of the tiny homes. The yurts were sold out during our time. But, the tiny home still had some decent space for two people. The property was clean and has a grocery store about two miles away.

Good Option, Unique Property

The property was quiet and well planned. We enjoyed our stay in the woods. Easy check in. The tiny house was clean but missing a few things: no luggage racks, no bathroom sink, no dish drying rack, only 1 kitchen towel. The public works facility next to the property opened early and you can hear dump trucks loading and backing up (beeping) for about 30 minutes starting around 7am.

Cozy getaway

Great place to stay, the tiny house was clean, had all the amenities you need for a vacation and more, property was quiet and well maintained. Bar Harbor was only about 30 mins away and other hiking trails and recreational activities were even closer! WiFi and cell service (we have T-Mobile) were both pretty spotty, so if you HAVE to be connected for some reason, that may be a drawback. But there’s plenty to do and it’s a great opportunity to disconnect and spend time with family and get outside, so wasn’t important to us. Overall great place to stay on a beautiful property far enough away from touristy stuff to be quiet and relaxing, yet close enough to be able to have full days of exploration!
