    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!

This stay was so amazing! The yurt has everything you need and is so fun to stay in. The amenities are so nice and thoughtful. My only criticism was the bed is not that comfortable but the rest of the stay made up for that.

The Maine Vacation of our Dreams!

This truly was the perfect getaway. Our first (but not last) visit to Acadia and the Yurt was the best way to experience it! Aaron and Karen were so communicative and informative, checking in, and giving us info that we wanted about the area! We’ll be back for sure and can’t recommend Acadia Yurts enough!

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 had the best time staying at Acadia Yurts and Wellness Center. The yurt we stayed in was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. It was well equipped with all cookware and everything else you need of to make you feel “at home” while being away. The property itself is also beautiful and is located in a safe, quiet, peaceful neighborhood on the edge of Acadia’s West Side. The friendly hosts communicated clearly with us by means of the notes left in the yurt and their sporadic check-ins via text. We highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back again in the future!

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 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.

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!

Exceeded our expectations

The yurts are extremely clean and cozy. We had everything we needed and loved waking up to the view of trees and sky in our skylight. It is so quiet and peaceful, no noisy campers everyone is respectful of the peaceful wooded location.

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.

Absolutely amazing!

The yurt was fabulous for 3 adults and one child, age 12. It had everything we needed for our stay, and the little red barn offered extras if you need something outside of the norm like coffee filters, spices, umbrellas, laundry detergent, games, etc. There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable while inside. The picnic table and grill was a nice touch outside. I also loved the earplugs and eye masks and coffee station. Both beds were super comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the firepit one evening and made s'mores. The skylight was super cool, too! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone! Thank you for helping me ro enjoy Maine a little more !

Beautiful and Relaxing Oasis

The yurt was everything we'd hoped for - peaceful, quiet, well appointed, with the comfiest bed we've ever slept in away from home! Karen and Aaron we great hosts, showing up on our door step first thing on a Saturday morning when our heat went out. We were celebrating a birthday and they even provided a champagne toast! Very thoughtful touches throughout the space, lovely hot water and water pressure, plenty of pillows. The space was perfect. Just wish I'd brought slippers, as the floors were freezing in late October! We'll definitely be back to stay again...

Fabulous

We stayed in the beach mountain yurt. We absolutely fell in love. Every detail was perfect. You can hear nature, but are completely comfortable and protected from the elements. We could easily live in one of Aaron and Karens beautiful yurts. I also took advantage of the yoga classes at the wellness center on the property. The studio is beautiful and welcoming. The peace and gratitude cultivated during our stay at Acadia Yurts will not be forgotten. Stay here! You will love it!
