We want to first begin by thanking every single person who supported our small business this year! From the yurt and tiny house renters to all those who patroned our wellness center; we cannot do what we do without you so THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!
2020 has been a difficult year for a multitude of reasons but we think it’s important to pause as often as possible and recall one thing you are grateful for! Then sit in the grateful space as long as time allows and soak it in! This practice is helpful to keep the mind focused on the positive so that we can find more to be grateful for. Grateful hearts are warm and thoughtful and we need more of that in our world.
The Yurts
We are grateful and humbled to report that from our opening on June 1st through our closing on November 7th we did not have a single vacancy in our rentals. In our 5 previous seasons, that had never happened. WOW, we are grateful! What this demonstrated to us was the desire to get away, feel safe and be outside. Acadia National Park and Acadia Yurts are perfect for social distancing and we are overjoyed that so many of you trusted us with your vacation.
Not only was there a thirst for travel in 2020 but there was also a sense of looking ahead to brighter days in 2021. As we wade through this challenging time, many of our guests have begun planning for 2021 in order to have something to look forward to. Norumbega Mtn Yurt, our only 30’ yurt, is over 55% booked for the season with June, July and half of August featuring no vacancies. This yurt is our most popular and books up quickly, but please know, there are plenty of summer weeks available in one of our six 24’ yurts or two tiny houses. The tiny houses sleep a maximum of 2 people and the 24’ yurts sleep a maximum of 4. Two of the 24’ yurts are pet friendly so that your 4-legged family member can join your Acadia adventure (these also book up in advance as an FYI)! As we enter the holiday season and finances can feel a bit tight, we want to remind you that we offer payment schedules for future bookings. This way you can feel confident securing your stay while not making the full financial investment up front. Please email us to discuss your family’s vacation needs, receive a quote and proposed payment schedule!
The Wellness Center
The wellness center has been cranking along since reopening July 1. With such turbulence in 2020, this year more than ever folks craved the selfcare modalities we offer. We are so grateful you trust us with your self-care! We feel honored to operate a place where the community can take some time for themselves so they can show up more fully, everywhere else. While we are not having in person yoga classes at this time Karen hopes to have an exciting 2021 announcement in the next few weeks. Until then we welcome you to unwind in our infrared sauna, float tank or on the massage table. We will have very limited appointments from December 25 to January 5 as we take some time to unwind and replenish ourselves. Before and after that we would love to see you! We hope everyone reading has a happy holiday season, please take care of yourselves and take care of each other!
