It was a great place. Pictures were a great representation of the yurt. The hosts were very easy to communicate with whenever needed. We had a wonderful time disconnecting from our phones and spending quality time together.

Three of us visiting the area. We were surprised at the roominess in our yurt. Everything we needed. Karen was quick to respond to our messages. We had a great time in Acadia NP. (My niece was hoping for a quick walk to a beach and/or a hot tub, but really no complaints). Very relaxing

Genuinely one of the best places I have ever stayed. The yurt looked exactly like the pictures, if not better. The beds were super comfy, the yurt was very very clean. We had a small run in with a wasp nest near the trees by the yurt and the host was out and spraying the nest within less than an hour of being notified. The hosts were responsive, nice, and check in/out was very easy. The communal fire pit was great. The kitchen had even more than we thought (toaster, blender, baking sheets). Definitely planning on coming back. They also have a wellness center which we unfortunately didn’t get to check out but it looked great. Overall 10/10 would go again and highly highly recommend.

This was such an incredible experience! The Yurt was a fun and comfortable place to spend our time. It was quiet, but was also accessible to other island activities. We had a great time, and enjoyed being able to cook at “home”. The beds were very comfortable, including the pull out couch. Everything was very clean. Temp control was great, even as we experience temps between 45 and 60! Loved our stay here, and will absolutely be staying here again.
Pull out couch was very comfy, and there was plenty of room to navigate around d.
Kitchen was well equipped. We cooked at “home” for most meals, and had everything we needed.

Very nice spot to spend a few nights in Acadia. The checkout process is a little tedious, I must admit, though.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our spot a nice place to spend a few nights in Acadia! We appreciate your note about the checkout process. For future renters, we ask our guests to collect laundry, removing trash/compost, putting dishes away, and sending a quick text when you’ve departed. This is meant to keep things running smoothly for future guests and are fairly standard for vacation rentals. That said, we’re always open to improving where we can, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Acadia!

Perfect Acadia Location

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!

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!

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!
