This tiny home was very thoughtfully designed and was perfect for two people. We enjoyed the peaceful, secluded feel to the property, and it was easy to access all parts of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Check in/check out was a breeze and although we didn’t need anything, the hosts were available and had great communication. Would definitely stay here again!

This place was awesome to stay in for a weekend away! The location and atmosphere was perfect. Very clean and plenty of available amenities. Out of the way of the busy areas of ANP and Bar Harbor but still very central to everything. Overall, this is a great place to stay and we would stay here again.

My stay at the Beehive Tiny House was exactly as advertised: comfortably close to nature. Everything about the property is peaceful and allows you to relax and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Karen and Aaron were great hosts who checked in regularly and made sure I had what I needed throughout my stay. Being on the quiet side of Acadia National Park also had its perks, from proximity to beautiful hikes with less crowds to still being a short drive from the park and great spots for sunrise and sunset! I can’t wait to plan another stay at Acadia Yurts!

We loved our stay in the Beehive Tinyhouse! We had the perfect blend of being in nature, but also very comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the tiny house was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking breakfast before leaving for our hikes. Acadia Yurts was about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor and many of the hiking spots we went to. The hosts were so friendly and easy to get in contact with. With all this to say, we will definitely be coming back!!

Although it's a "Tiny Home" all of our necessities were met! Our home was spotless. The grounds were also well maintained. The Wellness Center has a beautiful yoga studio which we took advantage of. Karen and Aaron were great hosts and checked in to make sure our stay was great. A short drive from the National Park and downtown Bar Harbor. Not much in the area, but removed enough to unplug and reset in the quiet of nature.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Roper

Host profile image
Aaron is a 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 20+ 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 (pending availability).

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 truly hope you enjoy our property and your time here as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is a stone's 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.

What makes this property unique

• Completely unique dwelling
• Amenities of home including furnished kitchen, bathroom, heat, and furnished living spaces
