We had an amazing visit to Acadia for the MDI half marathon. This was the perfect place to feel like a true getaway from city living, yet provide a lot of convenience and comfort for our whole family. The yurts are extremely clean and they thought of everything for appropriately stocking the kitchen and bathroom. Will definitely be coming back.

Great place!

The listing was accurate and location very convenient to visit Acadia National Park. It was so helpful to have the kitchen with our young kids, we also enjoy the board games from the common barn and even managed to join one of the yoga class.

The Maine Vacation of our Dreams!

This truly was the perfect getaway. Our first (but not last) visit to Acadia and the Yurt was the best way to experience it! Aaron and Karen were so communicative and informative, checking in, and giving us info that we wanted about the area! We’ll be back for sure and can’t recommend Acadia Yurts enough!

We had the best time staying at Acadia Yurts and Wellness Center. The yurt we stayed in was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. It was well equipped with all cookware and everything else you need of to make you feel “at home” while being away. The property itself is also beautiful and is located in a safe, quiet, peaceful neighborhood on the edge of Acadia’s West Side. The friendly hosts communicated clearly with us by means of the notes left in the yurt and their sporadic check-ins via text. We highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back again in the future!

Great escape

We loved our yurt and the solitude of the location. We were close to town and Acadia, but once we got back to our yurt, we enjoyed the remoteness of the location. It was the perfect size and had all amenities we needed. We slept like a baby, especially the night it rained.
