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!

Wonderful base for Acadia NP and Bar Harbor!

The yurt was very clean, and it was such a fun place to stay! We were only there for 3 nights, and with so much to do in the area, we just didn't have time to take full advantage of everything that Acadia Yurts has to offer (fire pit, wellness center, etc), but we'll definitely plan another (longer) stay there!

Hidden Gem

Loved our stay at Acadia Yurts. The yurt was very well, equipped, and the location was fantastic on the quiet side of the island. Very easy location to access the park as well as lots of other local features. The entire property was fantastic. Very close to a fantastic coffee shop.

Fantastic stay

Acadia Yurts is a fantastic place to stay. It is glamping to the max. The yurt was very clean and well equipped. It is close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park that you can get there quickly, yet it is far enough away that you can enjoy the peace and quiet of being in the woods. I highly recommend staying at Acadia Yurts.

Great Family Stay!

This yurt had everything we needed and much more room than a hotel room. Very peaceful area and not far from the main road at all. This gave the camping feel yet had the nice amenities to go with. It was away from the park loop road which we thought it was going to be an issue, but we spent half of our time on this side anyways so it worked out for the location. The host gave lots of good places to go also in their book. If I went to Acadia again I would stay here.

Relaxing and Adventerous!

This location was the perfect place to stay while hiking in Acadia. We were 20 minutes away from any desired location and were able to use the wellness center amenities to recover from the trails. The yurts were also a super high quality with all our needs provided. One of our favorite parts was getting morning air on our “porch” eating bagels and drinking the great coffee provided by the hosts!

First time staying in a yurt and we loved it!

This was the first time that my bf and I stayed in a yurt, and we both loved it! The yurt was very clean and much more spacious than I was expecting. The week we stayed had cooler temps and the heater in the yurt had no issues maintaining a cozy 70 degrees. The hosts provided wonderful recommendations for restaurants and hikes and responded timely to our questions. We would definitely recommend to anyone who’s interested in glamping!

Absolutely loved it!

We loved staying in the yurt. It had everything we needed and Karen was so quick to respond. The bed was amazingly firm which was a must. The water heater worked very well and the “neighborhood” was quiet and serene. A much needed respite allowing us to relax and get away to the woods of Acadia National Park. Thanks for the experience!

Enjoyed Living the Yurt Life

The yurt was a lot roomier than most hotels and is located in a much more peaceful atmosphere. If you are looking for something tucked away from the overcrowded hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, then this yurt's for you. Hosts were very helpful and responsive. Environment controls (AC / heat) worked great and did not ever feel uncomfortable. The property is lovely and quiet.

May 2024 Acadia Getaway

We traveled up to Acadia from the Boston area for a few days. We enjoyed the serenity of the yurt, and also the ability to cook some of our own meals. We did not take advantage of some of the amenities (i.e., the Wellness Center), but we plan to the next time we visit. It can get bright in mornings, so perhaps bring a sleep mask if sunlight wakes you up. All in all, it was as advertised and very cute.

The Yurts were a very comfortable way to have a short great escape from the day to day grind. Hiking and biking don't allow for stressful thoughts to enter your mind. Refreshing.

Amazing Stay with Kids!

We had a really wonderful experience "glamping" in Acadia. Unfortunately due to work restraints we were unable to take the full week that we had intended and our 7 day experience was shortened to 4. We loved the location on the quieter side of MDI, the proximity to town, the starry nights, the campfire, the pristine condition of the yurt and really feeling removed from the hustle and bustle of the City. We especially love that yurt is now in our everyday vocabulary. We plan to be back next year-and will take full advantage of yurt life.

Awesome Yurt!

Thanks Karen and Aaron for providing such a great place to stay! The yurts are well appointed, plenty of space, warm, and cozy, with comfy bed and lots of nice touches. The property is treed and private, lovely. This was a great place from which to explore the "quiet side" of the island (including hikes out of Long Pond and up Beech Mtn, and a great sail out of SW Harbor), as well as Bar Harbor and the rest of Acadia. Lovely to look up and see the stars while in bed, and fun to weather a windy/rainy morning -- like camping, but warmer and drier. 5 stars all the way, we'll be back and will recommend to everyone we know heading to the island.

Fantastic experience!

What an amazing stay we had at Acadia Yurts! We spent a week with our two children, ages 10 and 8, in the Flyin Mtn Yurt. Every detail has been taken into consideration to make your stay comfortable. It is the ultimate in 'camping'. So close to nature but yet so close to a shower and bathroom. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes around the paths, picking dvd's from the community barn, and of course the s'mores at the Friday night bonfire. Karen and Aaron are the perfect hosts and always available to help if needed. We are looking forward to planning our next vacation at Acadia Yurts.
