We had the most wonderful stay! The yurt itself was so clean and cozy. You could tell Margaret put a lot of thought into making her guests feel at home! The outside spaces were perfect for the cool nights, we made s’mores and looked at the stars. The bathroom/shower is a very short walk away, super clean and seems newly renovated. We took the first ferry (10am) to Bar Harbor in the morning and saw seals, porpoise, and bald eagles while on the boat. Rented an electric vehicle (we chose 4 hour rental), bought a park pass from them as well, and drove around Acadia stopping for short hikes. Our favorite places were Schooner head, Sand Beach and Jordan Pond (the Popovers were delicious!). We were back in time to drop off our “AcadiaGem” vehicle and had time to walk around the shops before our ferry departed from Bar Harbor back to Winter Harbor at 5:30pm (last one of the day). Once back at Winter Harbor we saw the sunset at Schoodic Point. You can explore on the rocks, watch the sunset, and if you’re lucky, like we were, you’ll get to see a humpback whale breaching in the distance! We would absolutely stay here again! It was all the best parts of camping, without needing any of the supplies.

We would definitely recommend staying in the yurt at Bold Coast Camp. Margaret was absolutely lovely to work and stay with. The new indoor plumbing is beautiful and practical. She even provides luxury soaps, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. If you drink coffee just bring along a French press and the little stove and tea kettle will work PERFECTLY for that first cup of coffee. She even provides the propane canister for the stove. We stayed during the heat wave, so didn’t use the wood provided for a fore, but did enjoy gazing at the stars. The lighted pathway to and from the guest bathroom was so thoughtful and helpful!! The yurt itself had EVERYTHING you could need or think of for a comfortable stay. We were a little concerned after the super hot day that the yurt would be stuffy and hot. We were so pleasantly surprised when we opened the vent windows and turned on the battery powered fans that Margaret provided. it was pleasant for relaxing and sleeping in. Margaret knows so much about her town Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor as well as Acadia. Per her recommendations, we ate at the Humble Grumble, Chase’s restaurant, and J.M. Gerrish in town and we’re delighted with the local fare. All were friendly, but each was distinctly different!! I cannot recommend the Bold Coast Camp with Margaret and Winter Harbor enough!!! Please, please reserve this experience so it will be there the next time we come back!!!

Great tent, really comfy and fans provided. Bathroom off the house is a great addition to be able to shower.

Preface that I and my partner have stayed in “rustic” conditions before; lack of running water/electricity, compost toilet, hand drawn showers, etc, but the property was a bit more public than pictures and listing describes in our opinion. We left the first night we arrived as we didn’t feel we were nearly as private or secluded as the description led us to believe. Good: The yurt itself was very nicely setup and furnished; it looks like the pictures and all amenities are as described. We really liked it to be honest and would have loved to stay there. Host was quick to message with further details and an update to amenities that wasn't in the listing (nice!) Bad: There was one major issue with this property being the privacy of it and the misleading description of it. Though it may be on private property, it’s easily viewable from two homes on the land immediately adjacent even with the 2 separated privacy fences placed nearby. I’m talking less than 100 feet to two private homes (although one may technically be a business). Both of these houses could easily see into the space from their second story windows if not from the first story. Look up the address in google street view before committing. It initially places you by brush but head west to find the mailbox, the yurt is viewable from the road. Overall the general setup of the yurt and amenities is lovely and could be a romantic vacation even; but we didn’t want to spend our time in Acadia camping in a back yard.
