Thank you so much for staying with us! We’re glad the yurt was a good fit for your family and hope you had a wonderful time exploring the Quietside. We’d love to have you back anytime! 🌲
This was a great place to stay, it had everything it said it would have, it was clean, we had enough towels, the kitchen had everything you might need and if it didn’t the little red barn building had a wide array of communal things that could be checked out to use. Overall we absolutely loved our stay at Acadia Yurts!

The Yurt was spotless, the host thought of everything a traveler might need. Little things like lots of hooks and hangers, and places to store things for the stay. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the host stayed in contact and was available to us if needed. The property was beautiful and peaceful.We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Acadia Yurts was cozy, clean, quaint and provided a spacious Yurt for 2 adults and 2 dogs! The grounds are a perfect place for anyone looking to get away and stay in touch with nature. Karen and Aaron’s hospitality made our stay that much more enjoyable.
