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!

Great property managers and awesome amenities. We took our 4 month old on his first vacation ever to a Tiny house while my family stayed in a yurt. From the in-house coffee to the campsite laundromat, I had everything I needed to have a fun, relaxing, worry-free time as a new mom!

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.

Our extended family rented 4 yurts for a week and absolutely loved the experience. Acadia Yurts are perfectly located to allow for a remote feel, yet still have easy access to all that MDI has to offer. Yurt life has a camping atmosphere but with the luxuries of showers, a real bed, and simple cooking. Our family was able to spend quality time together but all have personal space. We had an amazing week and plan to be back again soon!

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 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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

My family loved our stay at Acadia yurts! The yurts are cozy and well appointed and we loved the location - nestled in the woods and away from the hustle and bustle. It was a perfect place to retreat to after spending time in Acadia and around the Island's busy towns. We can't wait to return!

What a delightful way to end the season. The Yurt was excellent. Very clean with all amenities. The ease of getting to and from Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor was simple. Hiking in Acadia is always wonderful and being able to return to the yurt at the end of a wet day was perfect. We are already looking for a space in our travels next year for a return trip.

We visit Acadia every year, but this was our first time staying in a yurt. Our stay was fantastic (our 5 yo loved it too). The yurt was clean and cozy, and SW harbor is a great location. Karen and Aaron were excellent hosts and very responsive to any questions. Would definitely stay here again!

The property was great and picturesque. The yurt was very comfortable with all the amenities you need. My kids loved playing outside while we were resting from excursions to nearby Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The hosts were very receptive, polite, and professional. My family took advantage of the wellness center on the property, made the experience that much more fun.

My wife and I chose to stay in the Acadia Yurts while we celebrated our anniversary this year. Everything was just as advertised when we arrived. Check in was easy and the communication with the hosts was always helpful and timely. You couldn’t ask for a better location considering that It is just down the street from Acadia National Park. In short everything was great and we very much enjoyed our stay. We will certainly recommend to our friends and will hopefully be back one day soon!

We loved our stay. The Yurt was awesome, and had everything we needed. Super comfy! The only challenge is cell service is spotty at best. But I'm sure that's an issue throughout the area. We would 100% recommend Acadia Yurts, and would definitely come back!

Setting the "Bar"

Setting the "Bar"

Staying at the Acadia Yurts was the absolute highlight of our recent trip to Bar Harbor, ME. They are conveniently located on the 'quietside' of Mount Desert Island entrances to Acadia National Park (Echo Lake, etc). The yurt itself was outstanding. We've stayed in tipis and safari tents as well as other yurts and the Champlain Yurt far exceeded our expectations. Namely, there is a bathroom and a kitchen! I mean a full-fledged kitchen with a fridge and a full stovetop & oven. There is consistent hot water with excellent pressure. It's super spacious! The bed and bedding were very comfortable and there is a small table on which we ate our meals or did a puzzle when it rained. They have a well stocked community building where you can borrow items on the honor system with a sign out process. We read actual books and did a couple of puzzles during our stay. The only drawback, and this has nothing at all to do with the owners, are you are within earshot of almost every other yurt/tiny house on the property. This means if you are near other folks who choose to ignore the 10:00 p.m. quiet hour start, you'll be falling asleep to the sounds of them behaving as if they are in their own living rooms oblivious to the guests around them. Karen & Aaron have anticipated this and have provided earplugs and a sound machine which did help. Thanks! Overall, we had excellent weather and for the two days it rained, the yurt kept us warm and dry. The sound of the rain, hard at times, on the yurt roof and the ability to see the lightning out of the skylight was an added bonus. I caught sight of a meteor as well! We'll be constantly comparing every other place we stay, to include hotel rooms. to the interior of this yurt for years to come. The keyless entry makes getting in and out easy and there is a reserved parking space for one car per yurt. There is A LOT to do in the area; they have a great little guest book filled with recommendations from previous visitors which I read the first night. Overall, these were 5 star accommodations and we'd highly, highly recommend them to anyone wanting to experience 'camping' but with the added comforts of home.

A great experience.

A great experience.

We loved the yurts. It was everything and more as advertised. The yurt community was quiet snd well maintained. The yurt itself was clean and modern conveniences were great. Convenient to the park and other areas of the island. We took advantage of the grill and fire pit. We also used several of their suggestions of things to do. .
