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!

Acadia Yurts was an incredible place to stay while visiting the national park! The yurt community is super cute and the check-in process was beyond easy. Aaron and Karen were lovely hosts. They provided clear directions to the property, and their check-in and check-out processes were simple and very reasonable. It's near enough to the park to be convenient without being right in the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.Walking into our rented yurt, we were struck by the cleanliness and overwhelmingly homey feel. The decor is minimalist, but perfect for the space. It was hard to believe we were glamping! The skylight at night is everything! There was plenty of space for my husband, dog and I, and all the essentials were available. The sofa was very comfortable. The bed felt a bit firm for us, but that is very subjective. :) Overall, we were beyond happy with our stay and will definitely be back!

The Yurt was spotless, the host thought of everything a traveler might need. Little things like lots of hooks and hangers, and places to store things for the stay. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the host stayed in contact and was available to us if needed. The property was beautiful and peaceful.We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Perfect Accommodations for visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor

We stayed in the Sargent Mtn Yurt with our dog, Max. It was so spacious with all the comforts of home. It was easy to get to Acadia hiking trails and Bar Harbor. It was so peaceful to sleep under the yurt's dome skylight and awake to the sunrise. The hosts were in contact before and during our stay to make sure all of our needs were met. We hope to return with family one day soon!

Tranquil Forest Retreat

We stayed for 5 days and have nothing but rave reviews! The hosts were easily accessible for any questions/needs we had. The property is lovely and the yurt was surprisingly spacious! It is the perfect location to access Acadia hiking trails and definitely recommend the coffee shop at the bottom of the street! One unique surprise is the large skylight in the Yurt that woke us up each morning with warm sun and put us the bed watching the rain each night!
Dog friendly! I especially recommend booking Sergant Mountain Yurt for its location at the back of the land (quietest area!) but still within a two minute walk to everything on the property!

Quiet & peaceful- just what we needed after a busy day in and around Acadia Nat’l park. Enjoyed “all the comforts of home” in a yurt nestled in the woods. This was our second time staying here and it was as special as the first time.

Cozy Maine Vibes

This place was a delight, the Yurt was the perfect place to recharge after hiking all day in Acadia. The Yurt was clean and cozy with all the essentials you could need provided, including some outdoor seating to enjoy the cool breeze. The location was fantastic, within a 20 minute drive to anywhere and within a 5 minute drive to some trailheads. Also bonus points because this place is dog friendly and our pup enjoyed the stay too. I think the only complaint we have (which isn't within the owners control) is the noise. Unfortunately, the Yurt next to ours didn't respect quiet hours so we frequently heard them up to 11:30pm sometimes. In addition, there seems to be a gun range or something of the sort nearby and during the afternoons you can hear the shots ringing out. The owners do provide ear plugs to help muffle some of the noises. Side note, you don't get to park near your yurt or tiny home during the stay, there is a communal parking lot for you to park in and then walk to your yurt/tiny home. This wasn't an issue but something I didn't see in my searching and reading up on the yurts, so just a heads up to future bookers.

As soon as we arrived at Acadia Yurts, we knew immediately that we had selected the perfect place to stay! The property is peaceful, pristine and enveloped in stunning nature. The yurt was AWESOME and an amazing experience for us and our pups! We loved coming back to the yurt after a full day of adventure in Acadia each day. The owners are so friendly and warm and have really cultivated a wonderful vibe at their property. We loved our stay!

Possibly my best vacation

We came for my 60th birthday and had a great time. The yurt was clean and had everything we needed. It was so quiet, so wonderfully quiet. We were lucky enough to be there for a couple of rainy nights and one very starry night--can you see stars from your bed? Every day we could walk our little dogs down the road and very quickly be inside Acadia. Do yourself a favor and book your own stay. You deserve the same peaceful experience we enjoyed.

MDW Trip to Maine

Our stay at Acadia Yurts was top of the line. Four of us ventured to Maine/ Acadia for the first time and it was also our first time staying in a Yurt! Karen has done an incredible job at fusing the camping life and the regular BNB life in to one to create a true glamping experience. I met Karen on the property as she was passing by and she was so helpful in giving suggestions on where to eat that night. 10 out of 10 stay - cant wait to come back again!
