This was such a great spot! It was on the quieter side of the island which was really nice. The hosts thought about everything, even had a stool for our little kiddo to use to be able to reach the sink. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer. Definitely coming back!
This was an amazing place to stay. The yurts are super cute, very clean and the property is beautiful. The owners are friendly & quick to respond to any questions. We highly recommend this property & are looking forward to going back!!
We stayed at Acadia Yurts in July '25 in the Norumbega Mtn Yurt. The location in the woods was beautiful. So quiet out there with only very quiet camping for Acadia employees across the street. Within a reasonable distance to main attractions and Bar Harbor but far enough to enjoy being away from the fray. The yurt itself was perfect and very comfortable for cooking and relaxing. All the amenities you could need. And almost anything else you could need is found across the street in the community barn which you can sign-out for use. Everyone was respectful and friendly. We enjoyed using the community fire pit one night for some smores!
This was my family's first time staying in a yurt, and we were very happy with our experience. Karen and Aaron designed the entire place with an eye toward comfort and convenience. The kitchen was equipped with every accessory we could want. I also appreciated the board games we were able to borrow from the Red Barn. My husband enjoyed the flotation session in the Wellness Center, too. I highly recommend Acadia Yurts!
The yurt was perfect for our trip to Acadia. Very comfortable and clean. Easy access to the park and surrounding areas. Lots of thoughtful details in the yurt. Staff was very helpful!
Exactly what we were looking for! A place to call home while we explored Acadia and Bar Harbor! Fit 6 girls comfortably with surprisingly no arguing over the bathroom! Would definitely stay here again!
This was the first time I have ever stayed in a yurt, and this place has definitely changed the way I will be traveling from now on. The yurt felt like I was staying in a house!
The property was exactly as described, but was more spacious than I was actually expecting. I had never been to Acadia before and when I was unable to get a park pass at one of the service locations (off season) I was able to purchase it online and the owners were nice enough to print me a copy to display on my car dashboard
AMAZING! Is the only word that can summarize our stay. From booking to departing. The property exceeded everyone in my parties expectations! It was like our home away from home. If ever in the area again, we are staying at Acadia Yurts!
Nice quiet spot in the woods and well appointed yurt. A few of our group also used the Wellness Center and very much enjoyed the services. We would definitely return
The yurt was extremely welcoming, peaceful, clean, relaxing, and all around amazing. The hosts were very helpful and responsive with any questions that we had. We would definitely consider staying here again.
Excellent lodging- would book again in a heartbeat!
Yurt felt like a cozy luxe home for the week. Spotless, roomy, everything you need for your Maine adventure week. Slept 4 of us comfortably with room for cooking simple dinners, playing board games, lounging. We have absolutely no complaints- its perfect!
Our yurt was a great home base for our family to explore Acadia and MDI! It had everything we needed and we appreciated the amenities after long days spent exploring the park. Aaron and a Karen were great hosts and everything was as advertised. We definitely look forward to coming back in the future!
Very comfortable, quiet, and private stay in Acadia
I stayed in the Norembega Acadia Yurt with a party of 4 (including myself) and it was very comfortable and spacious. There was lots of attention to detail: eye masks, dehumidifier, towels, fans, luggage racks, mini salt/pepper shakers, high quality pots/pans, small food storage containers provided. We really appreciated the shower's water pressure and speedy temperature changing mechanism.
When checking out, leave lots of time for the check-out procedures. I had never stayed in a place before that asked us to not only run the dishwasher, but also dry and replace the dishes. I wished we did not have to do this extra chore. We also wish the bedroom closet area had more light as it was difficult to see our stuff.
Nevertheless, I would still recommend this yurt and would book again.
By far the most perfect spot to stay in Acadia. The balance between nature and convenience is perfect. Incredibly well maintained and clean. 10/10 we will be back.
Love Acadia Yurts! Glamping at its finest. The size of the yurt was amazing for a family of 4 adults. We could spread out and take space as needed. The grill outside was a nice added feature. Communication with the owners was great and we felt so welcomed. Great base camp for hiking, eating lobster and enjoying the hidden gems of MDI. Thank you for a perfect stay. Will stay again very soon.
We had a great stay at Acadia Yurts! Kids enjoyed the loft and parents enjoyed the space of the larger yurt. Karen and Aaron are great hosts; always responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great experience near Acadia National Park!
The yurt, in addition to just being fun, was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The location was 30 minutes or less to everything on Mount Desert Island, but much quieter than the east side. Can't recommend enough and will certainly be back next time we're visiting Acadia!
We absolutely loved the yurt. It was so clean and had everything! The french press was a nice surprise and it was the best coffee we ever had! The owners were very quick to respond to texts. While hiking on a mountain, I texted them to leave some quarters in our yurt so i could catch up on some laundry. I also purchased a some of their coffee as a surprise for my family and they hid it in a bag and put it in a special place for me :) Looooved everything about this place! Thanks Karen and Aaron.
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!!
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.
