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.

Cozy in acadia

Coziest place to stay that is outside the town of Bar Harbor! Lots of trails near bye and we hiked Acadia Mountatin which is 6 minutes away. We did other hikes such as ocean loop, sand beach, thunder hole, otter cliffs, Jordan Pond, south bubble rock! We also drove up to Cadillac mountain to witness the most gorgeous sunset.

Great Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed staying at the Beehive Tiny House. It was perfect for the two of us. The kitchen seemed well stocked even though we didn’t make anything but coffee. It was cozy but just right for the two of us. The shower had great water pressure. Everything was clean. The property is very close to many Acadia sites on the Southwest side of Mount Desert Island. It’s about a 20-25 minute drive to the larger side of the park. The Southwest Harbor town is adorable and everyone is so kind. We would stay again in this area!

We thought the location was great and the property was well kept and the beehive tiny house was very clean.The tiny house was definitely tiny! There was absolutely no place to open our suitcases or store them. Getting in and out of the bed is very difficult since there is a tiny space between the sides of the bed and the walls. You need to climb in from the bottom of the bed so if you have any back issues that is a problem. There is no place to to put your phone or eyeglasses next to the bed. The only sink is in the main room, there is no sink in the bathroom. We were quite surprised that there was no shampoo and just a tiny bar of soap. There was hand soap and dish soap available though.

Really enjoyed my stay

Clean, quiet, and an easy driving distance from all the places I wanted to visit. Extra kudos for booking my massage kind of last minute. I wish there had been firmer pillows, but it wouldn't be fair to lower my rating for that since it seems to be the case everywhere! I will definitely stay here again when I return to the area!

Great location for Acadia NP vacation

Property was exactly as described and very clean. Felt secluded and close to nature. Quiet at night, but still close to the park and some good restaurants. I loved the red barn with items that people could share and laundry on site. Owners were easy to reach and made sure we had what we needed to be comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Roper

Host profile image
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!!

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique
