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!

Perfect Acadia Location
The yurt, in addition to just being fun, was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The location was 30 minutes or less to everything on Mount Desert Island, but much quieter than the east side. Can't recommend enough and will certainly be back next time we're visiting Acadia!

Awesome and unique place to stay!
We absolutely loved the yurt. It was so clean and had everything! The french press was a nice surprise and it was the best coffee we ever had! The owners were very quick to respond to texts. While hiking on a mountain, I texted them to leave some quarters in our yurt so i could catch up on some laundry. I also purchased a some of their coffee as a surprise for my family and they hid it in a bag and put it in a special place for me :) Looooved everything about this place! Thanks Karen and Aaron.

Our stay was so much more than we anticipated glamming. It is definitely more of a hotel in the woods. We will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful Experience
We would highly recommend staying at Acadia Yurts when visiting Bar Harbor/Acadia. The property was exactly as described and pictured. The Yurt had everything we needed to make our stay cozy. We visited in October and although the nights were chilly the heaters were phenomenal and we were completely comfortable throughout our stay. Aaron and Karen are excellent hosts - checking in on us, making sure we had everything we needed and sending prompt updates regarding the property. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed.

Awesome Place to Stay!
The yurt felt warm and inviting for our fall getaway. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cookware and the couple of things we thought were missed were found available in the laundry barn.

Yurts are amazing!
We experienced glamping for the first time and are sold! Comfortably close to nature is a perfect description. Great location. The wellness center was a wonderful fringe benefit. We took two yoga classes.

Magical and cozy
We just loved this adorable little yurt village. A magical little paradise separate from the hustle and bustle of the more heavily populated parts of the area. Perfect location with close access to some of the best parts of Acadia. Already recommending it to our friends. We loved every minute!

Luxury in the woods
Property was exactly as described. We had an incredible stay. I am not a "camper" so slightly nervous before arrival but this was honestly much larger and much more comfortable than the beach condo we usually rent. Highly recommend!

Great experience
Great vacation, easy logistics, easy communication, peaceful, sauna is relaxing. Exactly what the listing states. Bring camping chairs for outdoor time at the yurt. Deer every day, eagles, & turkey. Plan on returning. No tv was wonderful. Very clean, bathroom is spacious with solid water pressure. Kitchen perfect. Grocery store around the corner. Coffee shop at the corner is a must. A++
