Tiny House Precipice

Would of liked to stay in a yurt/but we just happened ontothis VRBO and were fortunate to grab a cancellation timeslot. Ended up loving the spot. Seemed more secluded then the yurts. The owners thought of everything.(except a bathroom sink, but the kitchen sink is fine. Bed was comfortable. And the community sharing at the red barn was another thoughtful plus to the property. Great location for exploring the Acadia area. Book it ! You won't regret it.

Cutest and comfiest tiny house!!

My partner and I LOVED our stay at Acadia Yurts!! It was the perfect place to have as a home base as we spent the week hiking and exploring the towns around us, perfectly quiet and peaceful which allowed us to very comfortably recharge. The tiny house we stayed in for the week was extremely clean and the hosts were super accommodating and responsive. The property really made our trip perfect, we are so grateful!

Tiny bit of paradise

My husband and I stayed in the precipice tiny house. It had everything we needed for a comfortable week’s stay. The bed was comfortable, shower nice and hot, and the shelving and baskets throughout provided ample space for all of our things. Loved the location! If you’re going to Acadia, stay here. Wonderful hosts!

Acadia Yurts TINY House

We loved the Tiny house. A quite location next to the East area of Acadia NP yet close to SW Harbor (a few minutes by car). Aaron and Karen were incredibly responsive and also helpful to tell us about the “lesser known” spots and trails within the park.

Cutest tiny house

We absolutely loved our stay in the Precipice Tiny House- we would 100% recommend this to anyone and would love to come back when we’re back to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful and checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. Thank you Karen for an awesome experience!

Wonderful! Great location. Clean,comfortable and quiet

Loved the wellness center. Float was a great experience! Very nice having the barn with extras other guest left to help with what you forgot. Didn't miss the tv but a sharable microwave would have been nice.

The Cutest!!

I absolutely loved my stay in the Tiny House and in this adorable community on the Quiet Side. It was exactly the experience I was looking for. The amenities were beautiful, practical, well equipped, and quality. Hiking and biking was so much fun! And the spa facilities at Acadia Yurts were amazing! Loved every minute of my adventure!

Great "Little" Getaway

I'm a regular at Acadia most summers and was looking to stay a few extra days and to my surprise found Acadia Yurts. I loved it! It was also my first time doing a float, which to my surprise, was extremely relaxing. Not to mention the great conversation I had with Aaron in the process! I look forward to returning at a future time!

Great getaway

The property is beautiful and the tiny house was perfect for our stay! We booked both tiny houses for 4 friends on a trip to Maine to visit the Acadia National Park. The hosts were great with communication. There is a wellness center for activities (we didn't use, but loved that it was an option), a communal fire pit (we had a bonfire for 2 nights & met other travellers), and a community barn/shack for supplies (we made use of stuff in there and contributed to it too). The tiny house was equipped with all the amenities we would need for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay here again, perhaps in a yurt on our next visit!

Cozy getaway

Great place to stay, the tiny house was clean, had all the amenities you need for a vacation and more, property was quiet and well maintained. Bar Harbor was only about 30 mins away and other hiking trails and recreational activities were even closer! WiFi and cell service (we have T-Mobile) were both pretty spotty, so if you HAVE to be connected for some reason, that may be a drawback. But there’s plenty to do and it’s a great opportunity to disconnect and spend time with family and get outside, so wasn’t important to us. Overall great place to stay on a beautiful property far enough away from touristy stuff to be quiet and relaxing, yet close enough to be able to have full days of exploration!

Living large in a tiny house!

Loved the experience we had at Acadia Yurts. We stayed in a tiny house and it was perfect for the two of us. Well equipped and comfortable furnishings. My only complaint was getting in/out of the bed as both sides were against the walls. Was awkward, but not a deal breaker. Probably the best shower I’ve ever had! Aaron checked in with us a couple of times and was very responsive. We liked being away from the hustle/bustle of Bar Harbor. Discovered a local restaurant called “eat a pita” which we went to twice. Delish!. Highly recommend Acadia Yurts!

The Precipice tiny house was a perfect home base for our 3 days in Maine. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property is quiet and beautiful. It is a bit like camping, only way more comfortable. The owners were very responsive, checking in to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend Acadia Yurts!

Perfect stay on the quiet side of MDI

We had everything we needed for a base camp as we visited a friend and of course spent most of our time exploring Acadia. This was the most economical place we could find and it was a score for sure. Hosts were on site most days and very helpful. Utilized the laundry facility where board games and extra kitchen items were supplied. Thanks for a great stay, we’ll be sure to come back! Cheers.
