My husband and I just returned from a week-long trip to Acadia National Park. The park is incredible, with the most amazing hiking trails, kayaking, and biking routes!!! Staying at Acadia Yurts and Wellness Center was also a highlight of the trip. Karen and Aaron are amazing hosts-- very organized, welcoming, and responsive!!! The yurts are beautifully designed and contain everything you could need for glamping in the woods!!! Yoga classes and the infrared sauna at their Wellness Center were both perfect for relaxing and restoring at the end of a very busy, very beautiful vacation :).
Our stay at Acadia Yurts in Southwest Harbor was excellent. The yurt was clean, stylish, and well thought out, with every necessity provided and plenty of extra touches that made it especially comfortable. It served as the perfect base for exploring Acadia National Park while also offering a peaceful place to relax. We appreciated the quiet location, the welcoming atmosphere, and the unique experience. Highly recommend Acadia Yurts for anyone looking for a memorable, eco-friendly stay near Acadia.
We stayed in the yurt with the second loft bedroom. It was amazing! Clean, convenient, well stocked and very comfortable. We would highly recommended Acadia Yurts. If we ever make it back to this beautiful part of the USA we will definitely stay here again.
If I could give them 1000 stars I would. The area is beautiful and tranquil, and the yurts provide a unique and comfortable experience in nature. They have honestly thought of EVERYTHING and if you forgot something, don't worry.. they probably have it. If it's not in the yurt, then it's in the laundry barn with things like spices, toiletries, GAMES, and cooking appliances like electric griddles! We're so excited that this is now one of our new yearly traditions!
I have had the pleasure of experiencing the infrared sauna many times and I cannot recommend it enough. It’s a beautiful and inviting space and I always feel so replenished and refreshed after a visit. It is always impeccably clean. Karen and Aaron are the absolute icing on the cake- you will never find a more lovely and down to earth couple that truly care about all who come through their doors!
Our stay at Acadia Yurts was incredible! We enjoyed every thoughtful touch from the clean and well-appointed kitchen and bathroom (the hot water and adjustable shower pressure were amazing), comfy beds/linens, peaceful location, “extras” like spices and games available in the laundry hut, and chatting with Karen and Aaron throughout the week! We couldn’t have asked for a better week and strongly recommend a stay here!
We've stayed at Acadia three times and are looking forward to our fourth this summer. Our family of four (11yo & 7yo) fit comfortably in the smaller yurts. It has all the amenities we need. We buy our own lobsters and cook them in the yurt. We love the location. Close enough to zip over to Bar Harbor, but secluded to give you peace and quiet. Several trail heads are nearby. Most importantly for our kids is the proximity to Echo Lake for swimming. Lastly, I always do a float at the Wellness Center before we hit the road back to NY. Very relaxing.
We had a wonderful time during our stay in beautiful Acadia at Acadia Yurts and Spa. Our yurt was perfectly outfitted from the kitchen to the beds to the bathroom. The yurts provide the essence of camping with all the comforts of home. The hosts and staff at Acadia Yurts and Spa were wonderful and worked hard to make sure our stay was fabulous. Acadia Yurts is perfectly located for day trips throughout glorious Acadia National Park. I highly recommend Acadia Yurts for your stay!
Set on a 5-acre wooded property, these colorful, rustic yurts are a mile from Route 102 and 2 miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
