Acadia Yurts offers visitors the most unique way to stay on Mount Desert Island. Seven fun, eco-friendly Yurts and two Tiny Houses will bring you as close to nature as camping, with all the amenities of home. Located on 5 acres of lovely wooded land, surrounded by Acadia National Park property, Acadia Yurts offer a peaceful retreat for your group (up to 4 guests per 24' Yurt, 6 guests for the 30' Yurt or 2 guests per Tiny House). Acadia Yurts is also ideal for large groups traveling with accommodations for up to 34 people on 1 site.

In addition to yurt or tiny house living, the Wellness Center at Acadia Yurts offers on-site yoga, an infrared sauna and a flotation tank, all available for extra charge. Prices available upon request.

A yurt is a tent-like circular fabric structure with a wood lattice frame that originated among the nomadic tribes in Asia. These permanent, colorful structures have thick canvas exterior walls that include reflective insulation and a high efficiency heat pump/AC unit so you can be comfortable during any season. Yurts are quickly becoming a new vacation experience that vacationers are enjoying throughout the US from cliff side views in California to ski lodges in Colorado. This is a memorable place to stay while enjoying the beauty of Acadia!

First time Yurter

It’s like you’re in the middle of nature. Great first impression! I was pleasantly surprised by the water pressure too! Too bad I didn’t have time to utilize the wellness center. I just might have to come back!

Great place!

The listing was accurate and location very convenient to visit Acadia National Park. It was so helpful to have the kitchen with our young kids, we also enjoy the board games from the common barn and even managed to join one of the yoga class.

We loved it here.

We loved our yurt. It was surprisingly spacious and had everything we needed. It was very comfortable and we didn’t have any problems. The whole property was well kept. The proprietors were very nice. We also loved the sauna, massage and float. We would definitely stay here again.

Great long weekend outside Acadia

The yurt was very comfortable and clean. Property in a good location close to the park but removed from the crowds of Bar Harbor, which gives it a great remote feeling. Necessities are just down the road in SW Harbor. Aaron and Karen were incredibly nice and accommodating the entire time. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay near Acadia!

Great escape

We loved our yurt and the solitude of the location. We were close to town and Acadia, but once we got back to our yurt, we enjoyed the remoteness of the location. It was the perfect size and had all amenities we needed. We slept like a baby, especially the night it rained.

Wonderful location. Charming and super clean yurt and camp area. Hosts are really on it. If only it was possible to have a local vs group campfire it would have been perfectly perfect.

Amazing property

I remember saying to my husband right after we checked in that this was the first time that a rental property was actually better than the pictures; I was so impressed! The yurt was so clean, beautiful and so functional. We spent most of our days at Acadia National Park but the yurt was such a cozy and quiet place to come back to each evening. The yurts are also all spaced apart enough so that you feel like you have privacy.

Quiet Oasis on MDI

We has such an amazing stay at the yurts. Karen and Aaron do a great job and are very accommodating. We slept great, had just what we needed, and even did laundry a couple of times. Maximize your stay by scheduling a service at the Wellness Center they have onsite. You wont regret it.

Glamping and Hiking

We checked in late, but didn't have any issues. The place looked brand new and clean. We loved the setting and especially since it was on the quiet side of the island. I booked since all reviews were 5/5 and after staying, I agree. We both loved the massages at the facility and the proximity to Southwest Harbor. Especially liked the hiking gems found on the quiet side like Long Pond. Highly recomend.

Yurts are cool!

Well organized property. Yurts and cabins are nestled into a forested plot of land. Each with privacy, foliage and staggered about along an inner roadway. Walkways well defined with lighting and solid footing. My fondest memory is the sound of the birds in the morning. A beautiful sound to wake up to.

Amazing place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this magical yurt! It was a fun spot to explore Acadia National Park from and for our first bigger trip with our 1 year old! Hosts were friendly and helpful, and we got fantastic massages at the wellness center and attended one of the yoga classes too. The whole area was peaceful- you hear some road noise here and there but nothing crazy. Great hikes nearby that are less busy like Acadia Mountain and Wonderland. The yurt was cozy, clean and spacious- the most modern one we’ve stayed at our of a few across the country for sure. Would love to have stayed longer!
