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.

I absolutely loved my stay in the Tiny House and in this adorable community on the Quiet Side. It was exactly the experience I was looking for. The amenities were beautiful, practical, well equipped, and quality. Hiking and biking was so much fun! And the spa facilities at Acadia Yurts were amazing! Loved every minute of my adventure!

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!

Clean, quiet, easy
Property was clean and located perfectly for us.... out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, but close enough to great restaurants and hiking trails. We weren't around enough to utilize the Wellness Center, but the people we saw going in and out seemed very happy. The things I loved about the tiny cabin that you won't see from the pictures is the French press coffee maker, access to washer/ dryer, and the water pressure of the shower. These things were so lovely to have day after day of hiking.
