Hosts were very kind and responsive. The property was quiet and comfortable. It is pet friendly but it should be noted you can not leave your pet alone for more than an hour

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and had a comfortable stay with us! We also appreciate you mentioning our pet policy. Acadia is wonderfully dog-friendly, with many nearby trails, parks, and even restaurants welcoming pups, so we always encourage guests to bring their dogs along for the adventure! Because the yurts are canvas structures in a new environment with unfamiliar sounds and smells, even very well-behaved dogs can sometimes become anxious and bark when left alone for extended periods, which can impact neighboring guests. Short outings are absolutely fine, but we hope our pet-friendly guests can enjoy experiencing Acadia together with their furry companions whenever possible! 🐶

Aaron and Karen are the most gracious hosts! We had a wonderful time at Acadia yurts with our boys 10, 9, & 5. Great location and accommodations. Close to the national park, easy drives to hikes, beaches, food.

Comfortable, well equipped Yurt. Quiet location, close enough to hiking trails and other amenities on the island. We really liked being able to see and hear more of nature than we would from a hotel. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Really a perfect place to stay for us.

Our stay was fantastic!! The yurt was exactly as described - so spacious! It was the perfect amount of room to make some meals at home, have two beds, and even get up to some pumpkin carving! It was so close to southwest harbor and Acadia, but in a more private spot - location couldn’t be beat. The free firewood at the fire pit was so convenient - and we were the only folks there every night. Plus Karen and Aaron the owners are so nice. Can’t wait to go back!
