This place is amazing. I was impressed by it all. It's in nature but still close to everything.
Very Clean and cozy. Full kitchen.
Owners/managers are very nice and welcoming.
I would stay here again and for sure recommend this place!

The place is just magical. Grounds are lovely- perfectly located! All the comforts of home-but still a camping feel. The hosts are super nice and helpful. While Acadia was beautiful- The Yurt was my favorite thing! Will definitely be back. Do yourself a favor and book this yurt! Also treat yourself to a service at the wellness center. The sauna was great after hiking!

Best vacation spot ever

The yurt was described perfectly. Roomier then expected. Super clean. Supplied with everything you will need. Very quiet. If you do forget something you will most likely find it in the red barn. Owners are very accommodating. If we ever visit Maine again this will be our go to place. I would recommend to anyone.

5.0
The most unusual and delightful place. Very roomy, exceptionally clean, a lot of well thought through spaces to spread your stuff, easy communication with the owners.
I highly recommend wellness center, particularly massage with Alexandra.
There is one note to be aware regarding Wi-Fi: we rented two yurts, we had reliable signal at Flying Mountain and less reliable signal at Sargeant Mountain.
I recommend to check out these food places nearby:
- Hodgdon’s seafood at Seal Cove
- Quietside snacks at Bernard
Thanks to Karen&Aaron for their hospitality.

My wife and 18 month year old son and I had a blast staying at Acadia Yurts! The drive to Acadia National Park was a quick 20-25 minutes, and when we returned from our adventures each day to the Yurt (sargent Mtn) we were so refreshed. It was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to make our own meals and relax. We also really enjoyed the area around the Yurt as our toddler loved exploring. It really felt like we were out in the woods yet we had many comforts of home. Would recommend staying here to anyone! The only problem at all we had was with poor cell phone service and slow wifi (but hey who needs internet when you are exploring nature!)

We had an absolutely lovely and serene stay at Acadia Yurts as our homebase for exploring Acadia! The yurt itself was the perfect size for me, my husband, and 5-year old. It was clean and had any amenities we needed in the yurt or in the shared barn (which we never utilized but it was nice to know things were there!). So nice to take a hot shower after a day of hiking!
The grounds were quiet and beautiful. I enjoyed my walks in the morning to our car to go down the road to grab coffee from the Milagro cafe!
Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Our first time staying at a yurt with our golden retriever. The place was clean and very comfortable. It has all the essentials and it’s very spacious. Also great location.
We cant wait to go back.

My partner and I had an amazing stay here at Acadia Yurts!
The property itself was quiet and charming with just the right amount of wilderness. The yurt was clean, organized, and very well built/furnished. A beautiful stay with the starry night above us and the morning sunrises lighting the fall leaves bright. The check in and out process as well as the availability of the owners made everything a breeze. We enjoyed recommended local hikes that were as beautiful as the more popular trails. The wellness center is worth a visit as well (first time trying float therapy).
Thank you K&A!

Very clean and unique experience. It’s on the “Quiet Side” of the island so a little bit of a drive to Bar Harbor and the most iconic sites at Acadia National Park, but not far too far to be inconvenient.
There is a small grocery store, liquor store, and gas station very near the yurt.

I was a little hesitant to consider staying in a YURT. My BF convinced be that it would very comfortable with all the amenities. I agreed and I am so happy we went! Karen and Aaron, checked in on us after our first night. The unit was clean and well-equiped. We will go back.

Karen and Aaron were absolutely incredible hosts and have a spectacular property. The yurt we were in was so cozy and well insulated with the chilly weather we had and had everything we needed for the week included. It was really nice to not have to stay in Bar Harbor and have a quiet retreat away from the hubbub, but still be close enough to go in every day for shopping and food.

We booked a week stay for my husband and I and our 2 dogs to hike in Acadia. The yurt exceeded our expectations. The property is very well taken care of, the yurt was very comfortable and we had a wonderful stay. The owners make everything about the stay easy. I have already recommended this location to friends. We will definitely plan to go back!

My husband, two daughters (ages 9 and 12), and dog had a great stay! We loved the location - close to Southwest Harbor, Echo Lake, and the hiking trails at the bottom of Long Pond. The yurt was very comfortable and we loved being close to nature, but with a bathroom and kitchen! We loved it. Thanks for a great week!

Aaron and Karen really have something special here. We loved every second we spent at the yurt and always looked forward to coming back after our daily activities. The yurt has everything you need and offers such a unique experience. We also took advantage of some of the wellness center offerings which made our stay that much more enjoyable. The location was ideal for us, far enough from the noise and people to feel disconnected but close enough to everything to be a convenient home base. I would absolutely recommend staying at the yurts for anyone interested in going to MDI.

This property was amazing. It was so fun to stay in and was much larger then I was expecting. Very very clean and conveniently located to everything. They provided everything down to the dish soap and a fresh new sponge. I can not recommend this place enough. If you’re going to Acadia area, stay in Acadia Yurts

Great location!
Our stay at Acadia Yurts was a great experience. The accommodations were comfortable, peaceful, private, and close to everything. We enjoyed many hikes in Acadia and Bar Harbor is just a short distance away. Our dog loved staying here, too!

My friend and I had a great stay in mid may at Acadia Yurts. We had everything we needed. I honestly wish we spent more time relaxing at the yurt but went into bar harbor or stayed out hiking every day. It wasn't quite peak so a lot of places were closed, but we knew that ahead of time. If you want the sauna make sure to call ahead! We waited until a rainy day and it was booked the rest of the afternoon. Relaxing and clean home base.

My wife and I spent 3 nights at this Yurt and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! The property was beautiful and the yurt was so quaint and relaxing. Karen and Aaron were very accommodating and left the lights on for us as we didn’t arrive until nearly midnight. Should we visit the area again in the future, we will look at booking here again!

This was our first Yurt experience and we very much enjoyed it. Spacious, clean and quiet. Everything we needed for our stay in Southwest Harbor. A microwave would have been useful, but perhaps the layout of the yurt doesn't allow it. If you are looking for a restful and enjoyable place to stay while visiting Acadia this is a good choice.

Fantastic stay!
My husband and I had such a fantastic stay at Acadia Yurts! It far exceeded our expectations. Check-in was easy and contactless. The owners, Aaron and Karen, sent a message the next morning to check in and see how our first night went which I thought was a nice added touch. The location in the woods was perfect - far enough from any hustle and bustle but close enough to drive into Bar Harbor to shop and eat. We would love to go back during the summer months when a few more places are open but definitely recommend stay at the end of October to avoid big crowds.

What an amazing place! It close to Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain.
The yurts are amazing. They are very comfortable and cozy. They have everything you need for glamping! It's close proximity to Bangor, Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain, makes this the perfect place to stay. We loved it!
