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!

The yurt was extremely welcoming, peaceful, clean, relaxing, and all around amazing. The hosts were very helpful and responsive with any questions that we had. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Yurt felt like a cozy luxe home for the week. Spotless, roomy, everything you need for your Maine adventure week. Slept 4 of us comfortably with room for cooking simple dinners, playing board games, lounging. We have absolutely no complaints- its perfect!

Our yurt was a great home base for our family to explore Acadia and MDI! It had everything we needed and we appreciated the amenities after long days spent exploring the park. Aaron and a Karen were great hosts and everything was as advertised. We definitely look forward to coming back in the future!

I stayed in the Norembega Acadia Yurt with a party of 4 (including myself) and it was very comfortable and spacious. There was lots of attention to detail: eye masks, dehumidifier, towels, fans, luggage racks, mini salt/pepper shakers, high quality pots/pans, small food storage containers provided. We really appreciated the shower's water pressure and speedy temperature changing mechanism.
When checking out, leave lots of time for the check-out procedures. I had never stayed in a place before that asked us to not only run the dishwasher, but also dry and replace the dishes. I wished we did not have to do this extra chore. We also wish the bedroom closet area had more light as it was difficult to see our stuff.
Nevertheless, I would still recommend this yurt and would book again.

By far the most perfect spot to stay in Acadia. The balance between nature and convenience is perfect. Incredibly well maintained and clean. 10/10 we will be back.

Love Acadia Yurts! Glamping at its finest. The size of the yurt was amazing for a family of 4 adults. We could spread out and take space as needed. The grill outside was a nice added feature. Communication with the owners was great and we felt so welcomed. Great base camp for hiking, eating lobster and enjoying the hidden gems of MDI. Thank you for a perfect stay. Will stay again very soon.

We had a great stay at Acadia Yurts! Kids enjoyed the loft and parents enjoyed the space of the larger yurt. Karen and Aaron are great hosts; always responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great experience near Acadia National Park!
5.0
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!
5.0
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.

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.

Perfect glamping experience on the edge of Acadia National Park. Responsive and knowledgeable hosts. Amazing yurt! I'd give it 6 stars, but 5 is the limit.

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.

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.
5.0
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!
5.0
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!
5.0
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++

Never again will I sleep on the ground. From now on - only yurts. What an amazing facility!! All of the comforts of home coupled with the joys of the outdoors. We were amazed at how identical the yurt is to the pictures. Amazing facility and we are planning our return already!!

Fantastic Yurt, great experience....everything is as represented. Will return

After looking at other glamping experiences and VRBO properties, we chose Acadia Yurts as it was the perfect combination of both options. We loved being on the quite side of the island, and the smaller, more intimate feel of the property. Karen and Aaron were very responsive to questions, and our stay at the yurt went perfectly. We stayed in the larger yurt (for a family of four) - our kids loved having their own space upstairs although it was not really necessary - there is a lot of room in those yurts! Access to laundry and community items was a huge plus. Thank you to Acadia Yurts for an amazing stay on MDI!
5.0
Amazing stay at Acadia Yurts. If you are looking for the quiet relaxation of camping, but want a bit of “glamping” instead- consider staying here. Very clean, quiet, quaint and comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will return. Enjoy the experience of touring the bustling area and return to the serenity of yurt living. We will return!
5.0
The yurt provided an excellent home base for us while we explored Acadia and was the perfect balance of nature and comfort for our family! We loved our time there and would not hesitate to book again. Karen and Aaron do a wonderful job!

A wonderful trip!
5.0
After long days hiking around Acadia, my sister and I loved coming back every night to the quiet and cozy yurt. It's super close to everything including Bar Harbor. Definitely stay here if you want something a little different but still comfortable.
5.0
From check-in to departure the yurt was a great experience. It was rustic but met all of our needs. To us, it also seemed way bigger than we were expecting.

We traveled to peep some leaves and stayed here for two nights. We flew into Bangor airport which was the easiest baggage/rental car process of any trip we’ve taken! We drove in late to the yurts so no one was on staff but we had no trouble finding our place and getting in using the convenience keyless code lock. The kids loved the loft under the skylight with views of the stars and trees. The beds were comfortable and the whole yurt was very spacious! This location was convenient to places to eat, Acadia, the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, and Bar Harbor. We didn’t stay long enough to try any of the Wellness Center amenities but everything was very clean and quiet so I’m sure those would’ve been great. There was also a storage house with games, cooking staples, bathroom staples, and a washer and dryer (quarter-fed). This place really did think of everything and knows how to make their guests feel comfortable and get the most of our their stay! We will be telling our friends who are traveling to Maine soon about this spot!
5.0
My husband and I have always wanted to stay in a yurt. He is a little more into “roughing it” than I am, so Acadia Yurts was a perfect compromise. We did plenty of hiking, biking and spending time outside, but we had a hot shower, comfortable bed and a warm space to enjoy star-gazing at night.
5.0
What can I say other than this property was exceptional! My family and I had the pleasure to stay here during our week long trip to see Acadia National Park and it’s surrounding areas. Aaron and Karen were always accessible and made the entire stay as worry free as possible. It was a comfort knowing how clean and well maintained the property was. You could really tell a lot of love and thought was out into everything here. There are so few places that truly exceed expectations, this is one of those places.I look forward to visiting them again in the future!
5.0
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Acadia Yurts!! It was clean, cozy and the perfect amount of space. It was close to Acadia for hiking, Bar Harbor and the rest of MDI! Karen and Aaron were gracious hosts and you can tell they have been so thoughtful about the set up they have. If I ever make it to Acadia again I will stay here again!
5.0
We had a great time staying at Acadia yurts. The yurt was very spacious and had all necessary amenities. The yurts were thoughtfully laid out on the property giving a nice level of privacy. I also enjoyed Sunday morning yoga class. Great fun! Aaron and Karen were very pleasant and friendly.

Staying at Acadia Yurts was a wonderful experience! It was clean and cozy, had everything we needed. We did a lot of sightseeing in the surrounding area but when we were back "home", we thoroughly enjoyed it. We highly recommend "glamping" at Acadia Yurts!

We were thrilled to finally make our way to Maine and have the opportunity to stay at Acadia Yurts. Karen and Aaron were super accessible for questions and the yurt was immaculate and well equipped for our week stay.
Highly recommend!!

Loved.
We enjoyed our stay very much. My kids loved the hut and everything that came with it. The hosts were great in answering all my questions. Will definitely stay again whenever we head back that way.

Great location, comfy lodging
We traveled to Acadia with our elementary-aged kiddos. We loved the Norumbega yurt. It was clean and extremely comfortable. We cooked at the yurt often, and it had everything we needed. Communication with the owners was smooth. We love this quiet side of the island for exploring. We'll definitely book again whenever we return to Acadia.
5.0
Perfect location for family of 5!
This is a very quiet location! It wasn’t too far of a drive to go into Bar Harbor each day. The hikes were quick and easy to drive to as well. The yurt was perfect for us! It was extremely clean. We plan to return!

Family Road trip to Maine
My husband and I had wanted to take a road trip to Maine a few years ago, but due to Covid we waited just a bit. So we finally booked our trip and made it a family road trip with our 2 year old. We booked the larger yurt so my husband and I could hang out after putting our toddler to bed. The yurt worked out perfectly! We would wake up and have breakfast then head out for an adventure. The location was amazing. We would come back for lunch and our sons nap then head back out for dinner. The last night we enjoyed making s’mores at the fire. Check in, coming and going, and check out we’re very easy. The owners made the check out process very easy. The also checked in on our second day and always responsive. I would recommend staying in the yurt to anyone traveling to Acadia and hope to make it back some day when our son is older. Such a great experience and family trip!

great outdoor getaway
Yurts were a perfect stay to enjoy the outdoor beauty of Maine. Definitely will do this again.
