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!

We absolutely loved our stay at Acadia Yurts! The location was great.The yurt is beautiful and everything was very clean and organized. Highly recommend!

We go to Acadia every 5 or so years. It’s beautiful. This stay was by far our most unique. We had a group of multiple families and it was absolutely perfect. The yurts are comfortable, well stocked, and clean. The grounds are lovely. The owners were easy to reach and communication was excellent. I keep telling friends and family to consider this the next time they go to Acadia.

Our family’s trip to explore Acadia was incredible and staying at Acadia Yurts was the most perfect way to do it! We’re a family of 4, including 2 teenage boys, but the yurt was plenty big for us. Yes, the kids shared the pull-out couch, but they didn’t complain about it (only about each other). The WiFi kept everyone happy as we wound down from our days of hiking. We did not miss having a tv at all. We had brought a camping fan, but never needed it- the temperature was always comfortable (even in July)! It was a beautiful, peaceful, wooded area and while we had neighbors in other yurts, they weren’t close enough to see, hear, or to be bothersome. While there are many attractions on the eastern side of the island, the quiet side was much more fitting for us. Less than a half hour drive to the touristy spots in Bar Harbor and only 5 minutes from Southwest Harbor’s shops, restaurants, grocery store, mini-golf, and more. Aaron and Karen were always prompt and friendly with communication and they have an amazing little oasis set up for visitors to enjoy! You will not be disappointed staying there!

We absolutely loved our stay at Acadia Yurts! The location is perfect. The check in and check out process was very smooth. The yurt is beautiful and everything was very clean and organized. My son loved being able to borrow games and balls from the barn. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved staying at Acadia Yurts. Close proximity to many great restaurants and not too far of a drive to the national park or Bar Harbor, a little over 20 minutes. Property owners are very engaging, helpful and great at communicating with guests. The yurt has everything you could need, clean and comfortable. Situated in and around nature. A beautiful location, we would definitely return in the future.

We liked how generously the yurts were spaced in their woodland setting and the way the owners, Karen and Aaron, took good care to maintain the quiet. Our yurt was roomy, aesthetically beautiful inside, and very thoughtfully provided with everything needed. All was clean and in good working order -- e.g., the shower was hot and strong, the bed was really comfortable, the water tasted sweet and good, the kitchen had all the right utensils, the internet worked, and there were nice places to sit. My husband and I stayed in early June, during warm and also wet cool weather, and the climate control systems (heating, cooling and dehumidifying) inside the yurt were excellent. Additionally, the screened windows could be opened for fresh air. Our yurt was its own little wellness center -- an oasis of nurture after our days of activity in Acadia National Park.

I just returned home from a week-long stay at Acadia Yurts and it was magical. It has been on my bucket list for years to both visit Acadia National Park and to stay in a yurt for the first time, so it was absolutely perfect! Got to tick both things off! The yurts are spacious, clean, cozy and well-maintained with everything you could need and more! A fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom, steaming hot shower, super comfy queen bed, Wi-Fi, and a heat pump providing both heat and AC. Not a single detail overlooked. The thoughtful attention to detail that went into designing the yurts brought an extra layer of warmth and comfort. The location on the quiet side of the island was perfect. Only a 20-30 min drive from Acadia and Bar Harbor and everything I wanted to see and do. The best part was returning home each night after a full day of exploring Acadia because the adventure didn’t stop there! The adventure continues because the yurts are such a fun, cool, unique and almost otherworldly place to stay! All the magic of a little house nestled in the woods! Aaron and Karen were fantastic hosts! Literally the nicest people ever! I was so glad I had the chance to chat with them and get to know them a bit. They live right next door and are always happy to help if you ever should need anything or answer any questions you might have. They’ll always go above and beyond to make you feel at home and make sure you get the full experience! Would recommend to absolutely anyone!

I gratefully came upon the Acadia Yurts on VRBO. Right away I fell in love -- seeing it in person was even more wonderful! It is in a comfy, cozy wooded area that provides a comfy, cozy stay.

We loved staying at the yurts. It is a great location. We loved that it was on the quieter side of the island as last time we stayed right in Bar Harbor. We enjoyed our evening cooking out on the grill and drinking wine after long days of adventures biking and hiking! We also recommend the float tank and the infrared sauna. They were so relaxing and the ease of scheduling was a plus.

My husband and I loved the property. It was cool to stay in a Yurt. They utilized the space perfectly. There is plenty of storage and places to put things. It was quiet at night and in the mornings. It was close to several hikes and not a bad drive to Bar Harbor downtown.

I can't stop talking about my stay at Acadia Yurts. They were exactly as advertised. Karen and Aaron thought of everything to make this "glamping" experience a 10 out of 10! Clean, cozy and a little slice of heaven after a day of adventuring at Acadia National Park!

We loved our stay at Acadia Yurts! It was very comfortable, clean, and surprisingly spacious! We loved that linens, towels, pots/pans were provided so we had much less to pack than when we stayed in a cabin in Lake George, NY last summer! We would highly recommend this cool/comfortable way to live in nature while exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia!!

We so enjoyed our stay here. The space, quietness, ability to cook some meals, do laundry and be apart from other touristy areas was all appreciated. Clean, spacious and in keeping with our ideas on how to be gentle to our environment. Highly recommend! We hope to return.

Acadia Yurts was just what we needed. Quiet. Peaceful. All the comforts of home (minus a TV which turned out to be wonderful). Owners are super nice and go out of their way to ensure you have a nice stay. Our family had the best time with board games checked out of their stash. Would love to go back and take more family.

Beautiful unique experience!

My family and I absolutely loved the yurt life! Really worked for us as a majority of us are not well suited for traditional camping. I liked that it was close to a lot of acadias trails and only a 30 minute drive to bar harbor! Very good overall experience highly recommend!
