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!

Swope Annual Vacation
My husband, our 3 teenage kids (15, 16, and 16), and Pepper the pug rented out the two pet friendly yurts. These were perfect to have a nature feel but with amenities to suit a day of sweating from adventuring in Acadian National Park! The owners were so friendly and tentative and would text back whenever we reached out. It’s nice and secluded from all the madness of the harbor areas but still a quick drive to any and all area attractions. My kids enjoyed getting the complimentary coffee and supplemented with hot chocolate on the stove! Our dog barks at chirping birds, which we were worried about, but each yurt had a peaceful sound machine so we just cranked that up a bit and she felt right at home! 20/10 recommend!!!

Camping Made Easy
This property gives you the experience of camping but with all the amenities of home. The yurt we stayed in had everything we needed including upgraded WiFi as cell reception throughout Acadia is spotty. The location is perfect for a quiet get away, yet just minutes away from park trails, a coffee shop, grocery store and local restaurants. Lastly the owners are extremely friendly and welcome sharing their knowledge of the area. We will definitely be back!

The place was clean and well equipped. We liked that we could cook our meals to save during the trip. The site was quiet and relaxing. Thanks for accepting dogs in some of the yurts, it changes everything for us.

Lovely yurt
We have been wanting to get back to Acadia for years and we were thrilled to have stayed in Acadia yurts. It is in a nice quiet location surrounded by hiking trails, the sound and ponds/lakes for kayaking. Main Street of Southwest harbor was close by so if you wanted to go out to eat or shop it was minutes away. Our yurt was adorably furnished and so comfortable and clean. The owners thought of everything and were so accommodating and helpful. We also did a few yoga classes on premises which were great. We would highly recommend staying here.

Peaceful yurt in the woods
Our stay in Flying Mountain Yurt was a magical experience. The location on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island lived up to it's name, especially compared to the more hectic places in Bar Harbor. It was easy to get anywhere on the Island within 30 minutes of driving including multiple hiking trails, marinas and beaches. Restaurants in Southwest harbor were fantastic. The yurt looks just like the pictures and my husband and I were grateful for the fully functioning bathroom and kitchen with running water. The bed was comfortable, complete with down pillows and comforter. The dehumidifier and heat pump were a welcome luxury. We loved hearing the rain on the dome and canvas roof. Highly recommend this place to stay!

Since we first pulled up we were pleased. It only got better. the entire place had a feel good vibe to it and it definitely added to the charm of the Yurt. We will be back to enjoy more time in Southwest Harbor, Bar Harbor, and Acadia. Thank you for adding to the great time we had in Maine.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Acadia Yurts! The property and the owners are wonderful. The grounds are quiet, accommodating, and just overall rejuvenating. The yurt itself was clean, well-stocked, and felt like we were home. Proximity to the park and Bar Harbor was perfect. We cannot wait to come back.

We loved our stay at Acadia Yurts! The yurt was so cozy and comfortable. Karen and Aaron included everything you could need while here and are very responsive if you have any questions. Great location in the woods for privacy but not too far from any hike. We loved being able to bring our Golden with us too!

Cozy home away from home
Great place to stay!! The yurt is amazing/ loved the natural light and the beauty of the surroundings. Karen and Aaron thought of everything- from the sound machine, ear plugs (neither which was needed) to the puzzle in case you need an activity, and the kitchen! I have a hard time sleeping away from home- but I did great in the yurt. So clean and the bed was comfy! Stay here on the Quiet side! We brought our dog too- and had an amazing time!!! Thanks to Karen and Aaron who were super responsive and gracious hosts!

Another wonderful stay
This is our second time staying at the yurts. This time we took my parents with us and got them their own yurt. Everyone in the group enjoyed our stay, even if we lost power for a few hours due to a storm the night before. It's the perfect stay to enjoy nature and still have the comforts of home. Our dog enjoyed his visit too.

Fabulous Yurts!
The Yurts were an incredible experience!! Very clean, very well maintained. Great to have in-yurt kitchens and bathrooms. Never was cold- there were multiple heaters around the yurt (Even in the bathroom)! Really neat to have a sky light at the top of the yurt. You could see the stars at night and hear the wind blowing through the trees! Would definitely go back again.

Beautiful way to experience rain is in a Yurt! 1st time visiting Acadia with moody fog and rain. Felt cozy and connected with nature. All the amenities available with lovely touches to make your stay even more enjoyable. Well stocked kitchen and the best hot shower! Such a pleasant experience. My dog loved her stay as well.

This was our second stay at Acadia Yurts and needless to say, it won’t be our last. Karen and Aaron have thought of everything and are fantastic hosts. The location is perfect - off the beaten path just enough, but still close to the main park, Bar Harbor, etc. We had a great week and are already looking forward to our next round of adventures on MDI!

Fabulous stay!
My husband, our dog, and I stayed at Acadia Yurts for a week. The communication with the owners was seamless. The check- in instructions were clear and the process simple. I had never been “ glamping” before but I’m sold on it now! The property is quiet with ample privacy from other yurts. I especially appreciated access to our own charcoal grill and screen house which enabled us to enjoy even more of the great outdoors! We will definitely stay again and have already recommended Acadia Yurts to friends.

Perfect week at Acadia Yurts
My husband and I came here for a little minimoon getaway after our wedding - as a huge bonus, we brought our dog to celebrate! It was the most perfect, relaxing week. The Yurt made our week. It was super cozy, relaxing, and allowed us as a family to decompress after a crazy hectic weekend. We spent the days exploring the beautiful national park and hiking, and ended up spending most nights at the yurt, grilling, spending time outside, and relaxing. We cannot wait to return! The yurt had everything we needed and was the most cozy. We were so sad to leave!!! Thank you again, Karen & Aaron!
