This weekend marks the beginning of our 12th season running Acadia Yurts (WOW!) and we were blessed to kick it off with a full house: a yoga retreat 🧘‍♀️, a birthday celebration 🥳, and two very well-behaved dogs 🐾

While we sign off our messages as “Aaron & Karen”, is so much more than just the two of us. We have an incredible team of plumbers, site contractors, landscapers, cleaners, electricians and even our parents—who all pour love into this property every spring to prepare for your arrival!  That care is something our guests feel when they stay here.

One of our favorite small business philosophies comes from the book by : Service is what you offer; Hospitality is how you make people feel.  

That’s our ultimate goal, for every guest to feel welcomed & valued because at the end of the day we are honored you choose to spend your precious moments here!

As many of you know, our business is currently listed for sale, but that doesn’t change how we show up. You can count on us to continue delivering the same level of care and attention during every stay for as long as we own this property.

LOOKING AHEAD: our yurts are fully booked next weekend (Mother’s Day 💐), but we still have two Tiny Houses available—and the weather is looking beautiful ☀️  Book direct and take 10% off your stay, 2-night stays available, link in bio!

We look forward to sharing our neck of the Maine woods with you!

Spring has arrived on Mount Desert Island 🌿 and our + reopen May 1st! We’re currently offering a 10% discount for all May and June stays (info in bio)!

May is one of our favorite times to visit — before the summer crowds, when the trails are quiet and feels like it’s all yours. With Seal Cove Road closed to vehicles through May 15th, our road becomes a peaceful dead end, and you can access Acadia National Park just 200 feet from our parking lot. Think slow, unhurried mornings in nature from the moment you step outside.

What to expect in May:
• Full kitchens in every unit — no need to rely on restaurant hours
• Early-season calm + space to explore
• Local dining gradually reopening, with most spots in full swing by Memorial Day weekend

Many guests love this time of year for the balance — cozy nights cooking in, and days spent out on the trails.

✨ Check current availability through the link in our bio and plan your May escape!

Grateful to have Kundalini Kriya Yoga MDI teaching weekly classes and offer incredible trainings like this at Acadia Yurts!

From one of our graduates who took Reiki I through to Master Teacher:
“I highly recommend taking the Reiki Master course with Reinette. Her 20 years of experience with Reiki, and many years of experience in the role of “teacher,” can be felt in the quality of her course materials and content. She is detailed and thorough, and always makes time to answer and listen to her students. Something that stands out to me about Reinette is her ability to communicate clearly, honestly, and directly. This translates to her teaching style as well; she conveys information to her students in a clear, accessible manner. *exhale* She is the embodiment of integrity, and I’m quite partial to those qualities. This course takes you through lineage/history of Reiki, hands-on practice, self-audits, and transformative ignitions. In three days you cover a lot of ground. As I write this, I am still basking in the post-Reiki-training magic, and though it’s been only a week- I can already feel a shift in my general perception of my own life- as well as an added layer of compassion for the lives of others. Which is a really nice feeling! I would recommend this course (as well as Reinette’s Reiki I & II certification courses) to anyone who is interested in continuing their relationship to Reiki, to self, or anyone who is interested in the betterment of the world we live in. If you’re considering it- take the leap!”

In Maine, wells are the most common source of drinking water — and we’re proud of ours at 💧

As a public water supply, our well is regularly monitored by the State of Maine, and our most recent test passed with flying colors (see results above!). 🏅

Our water is naturally filtered through hundreds of feet of Maine granite, making it not only completely safe and untreated — but truly delicious, straight from the tap. 🚰

When you come stay with us, consider leaving the plastic water bottles at home. Bring a reusable bottle (or buy one of our stainless steel ones‼️) and enjoy the crisp, clean water we’re lucky to share every day. It’s one of the simple pleasures of being here!

(FYI: there isn’t a legal limit for sodium in drinking water but usually tastes best when between 30-60mg/l)

Behind the scenes of your favorite float ✨

Running a float tank isn’t just dim lights and deep relaxation — it’s serious maintenance, too. Between every guest, the water, tank and room are fully cleaned. But we also have weekly, monthly, and annual deep-care routines to keep everything pristine.

Last weekend was our big reset: we drained the entire tank (yes… all 1,200lbs of Epsom salt solution), scrubbed the interior, swapped the filter, and cleaned the filtration motor. No small task!

Because the water is ultra-clean and mineral-rich, we carefully sump pump it into brand-new, sanitized containers while we work — then pump it all back in once everything is spotless and reassembled.

Even on days without appointments, we’re here making sure your next float is perfect. We can’t wait to see you soon 🌊

Text us to book your next float! 207.669.2059
