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.

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.

Un excellent séjour, dans un environnement bucolique. Nous avons passé une belle semaine. La mer, la montagne, la forêt, les jardins ont constitué notre terrain de jeu.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Roper

Host profile image
Aaron is an Maine native. He was born and raised across the bridge in Trenton and grew up attending local Bar Harbor schools. He has worked in the restaurant industry for the past 15+ years beginning as a prep cook in high school then moving toward general manager. Aaron's favorite extracurricular activity is learning all he can about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As often as he can, he trains locally and loves sharing this passion with others.

Karen is a transplant. Originally from Chicago she made her way to Maine in 2009 and fell in love immediately. In Acadia she enjoys hiking, trail running, yoga, and long walks on the carriage roads. Karen has been teaching yoga locally for over 6 years and now brings her practice to the Wellness Center (located on site at Acadia Yurts). Karen is also a licensed massage therapist and offers services onsite.

As a couple we have done quite a bit of traveling and through that we have narrowed down the particular way we like to travel. The biggest factor for us is having a furnished kitchen in order to prepare health minded foods to nourish our bodies and support all our outdoor activities. The idea for Acadia Yurts has been brewing for quite some time. Friends of ours live off the grid in a yurt and we greatly appreciate the rustic, romantic feel of the yurt but wanted some of the comforts of home- running water, heat, electricity. From there Acadia Yurts was born. We deeply hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!!

Why they chose this property

This property is a stones throw to Acadia National Park with hidden gems around every turn. Acadia Yurts is the most unique way to stay on MDI. We bring you local knowledge, passion for living mindfully and a desire to share our favorite place with you and your loved ones to create lasting memories.

What makes this property unique

- Completely unique dwelling
- Amenities of home including furnished kitchen, bathroom, heat, and furnished living spaces
- Proximity to Acadia National Park
- Located on quiet side of MDI to assist you in slowing down and reconnecting to yourself and loved ones
