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 refuge de paix

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. À la fin de la journée, nous avions hâte de retrouver le site Yurts Acadia, en particulier Precipice, la tiny house. un endroit unique!

The Cutest!!

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!

Fall stay

The property is absolutely gorgeous and the owners are a pleasure to work and communicate with. The Precipice tiny house was fit with everything you needed. We wish we had the time to try their yoga and massage but we will definitely go back.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Roper

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!!
