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.

5 star accommodation to go along with a 5 star national park! Very clean and modern but with a campground feel as well as relaxing amenities at the wellness center. I will definitely stay there again on my next visit.

A few days in Acadia

My husband and I spent a few nights at this tiny home in Acadia as part of our two week Maine vacation. I found the accommodations to be just as advertised. Everything was quite clean and the host was quick to respond to my text inquiries. The location is great, near several good restaurants, and easy access to the all the sights on the island. The house is compact, but everything you need is there. There is very little room on the sides of the bed so we had to climb into it from the bottom. This was fine for us but I wanted to mention it in case anyone has mobility issues.

Fantastic stay in Southwest Harbor!

We loved staying in the Beehive tiny house! It was located in a very convenient area, about 20-30 min from Acadia. The kitchen had all the necessities and the house had a tankless water heater that made the end of a full day of hiking really relaxing. We loved our stay at Acadia Yurts and hope to come back soon!

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!

Perfect hideaway for two

The Beehive tiny house was wonderful. The location made it easy to zip to any spot in Acadia! The house is as pictured and was very clean. We always cook when we travel so having the kitchen with a full stove was nice. Though the cookware is a bit subpar for avid cookers. We will most definitely return here on our next venture to Acadia!

Peaceful Getaway

My husband and I had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary at the beehive! We unfortunately didn't get a chance to experience the amenities on site but we enjoyed exploring the area instead! The hiking near by was so peaceful and Southwest Harbor had a couple of lovely restaurants and shops. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed! I would absolutely return and plan ahead a little more to make sure we had time to enjoy the yoga and sauna!

Perfect location for a 3 day Acadia trip

My husband and I flew in Wednesday, drove up the coast to see all the coastal Maine towns, then arrived at Acadia Yurts for the evening. We spent all of day 2 at the northeast side of Acadia, hiking and enjoying the scenery. On day 3 we hiked the southwest side, perfectly close to the place we were staying. Highly recommend this place - the location is perfect, a quick drive to the more populated side of the park but far enough away it made for beautiful quiet evenings. We stayed in the Beehive Tiny House and it was perfect for the two of us with plenty of amenities. Tip - definitely take the hosts up on the restaurant recommendations. You won’t be disappointed! We loved Harbor Table and Thurston’s.

First time in Maine and loved it!

This was my first visit to Maine overall and Acadia specifically. The property was amazing! A very cute setting of a handful of yurts and two tiny homes (we stayed in one of the tiny homes). Karen and Aaron were amazing, the quiet side of the island where the property lives is amazing, just everything was exceptional. I really couldn't recommend this tiny home enough. I've already made recommendations to everyone who asks about my trip and can't wait to visit again in the near future!
