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!

Acadia Yurts

Quiet & peaceful- just what we needed after a busy day in and around Acadia Nat’l park. Enjoyed “all the comforts of home” in a yurt nestled in the woods. This was our second time staying here and it was as special as the first time.

Absolutely Amazing Place!

Acadia Yurts was cozy, clean, quaint and provided a spacious Yurt for 2 adults and 2 dogs! The grounds are a perfect place for anyone looking to get away and stay in touch with nature. Karen and Aaron’s hospitality made our stay that much more enjoyable.

I stayed with my two young daughters. The yurt was clean and stocked with everything we needed for us to enjoy our time at Acadia. The owners are wonderful! They were kind and very helpful. We appreciated their recommendations and help making our stay comfortable. It was a great experience. We would definitely stay again.

MDW Trip to Maine

Our stay at Acadia Yurts was top of the line. Four of us ventured to Maine/ Acadia for the first time and it was also our first time staying in a Yurt! Karen has done an incredible job at fusing the camping life and the regular BNB life in to one to create a true glamping experience. I met Karen on the property as she was passing by and she was so helpful in giving suggestions on where to eat that night. 10 out of 10 stay - cant wait to come back again!

Possibly my best vacation

We came for my 60th birthday and had a great time. The yurt was clean and had everything we needed. It was so quiet, so wonderfully quiet. We were lucky enough to be there for a couple of rainy nights and one very starry night--can you see stars from your bed? Every day we could walk our little dogs down the road and very quickly be inside Acadia. Do yourself a favor and book your own stay. You deserve the same peaceful experience we enjoyed.

Amazing ACADIA YURT Experience

Family fun Yurt time. Excellent accommodations for family of four! Near SouthWest Harbor - and Acadia National Park- easy drive to all park and island attractions then quiet nights in the woods. Karen and Aaron have quite the set up! Thank you!

Comfy oasis in the woods

Great way to experience MDI/Acadia without the hassle of camping. The yurts are beautifully furnished with great amenities in a peaceful quiet setting. Walkable/bikeable to Southwest Harbor and about ~30 minutes from Bar Harbor, but the drive is beautiful. Bring lots of bug spray however as the island has terrible mosquitos.

You can’t go wrong with Acadia Yurts!

My husband and I chose Acadia Yurts for our honeymoon and are so happy we did! The location is perfect - close enough to the bustle of Bar Harbor but far enough that you have some privacy - and the yurt was such a cool way to vacation. It was much nicer than the majority of hotels we’ve stayed at! Karen and Aaron were always available if needed. If you’re looking for a quiet, semi-secluded oasis, this is it. Acadia Yurts is a special gem.

The place is just magical. Grounds are lovely- perfectly located! All the comforts of home-but still a camping feel. The hosts are super nice and helpful. While Acadia was beautiful- The Yurt was my favorite thing! Will definitely be back. Do yourself a favor and book this yurt! Also treat yourself to a service at the wellness center. The sauna was great after hiking!

Cute and cozy Yurts in Southwest Harbor!

These Yurts are located in Southwest Harbor Maine. Great experience. They have all the amenities to make your stay enjoyable. Be sure to bring your laptop-they have movies to borrow--otherwise you will be totally off the grid! They do have WiFi. Near Acadia--plenty of trails to hike nearby. Dog friendly which was a plus for us. Karen and Aaron were there if we needed anything.

Beautiful Homebase for Acadia

We had an absolutely lovely and serene stay at Acadia Yurts as our homebase for exploring Acadia! The yurt itself was the perfect size for me, my husband, and 5-year old. It was clean and had any amenities we needed in the yurt or in the shared barn (which we never utilized but it was nice to know things were there!). So nice to take a hot shower after a day of hiking! The grounds were quiet and beautiful. I enjoyed my walks in the morning to our car to go down the road to grab coffee from the Milagro cafe! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing stay in yurts in Acadia

Acadia yurts were an awesome place to stay that would appeal to many people. The yurts were comfortable, clean, and have everything that you could possibly need for a getaway! They are situated on the 'quiet' side of acadia, but are close to many sights such as echo lake, bass harbor, and lots of great hiking! The yurts offer an outdoorsy feel - similar to as if you are camping, because you are surrounded by quiet woods, but offer the comfort of a stay with showers, cooking, and beds! The owners have covered all of the details of your stay and are extremely welcoming and accommodating! We look forward to staying in the future!

Exceeded expectations

The yurt was described perfectly. Roomier then expected. Super clean. Supplied with everything you will need. Very quiet. If you do forget something you will most likely find it in the red barn. Owners are very accommodating. If we ever visit Maine again this will be our go to place. I would recommend to anyone.

Coolest Glamping Ever

This was such a great place to stay- the amenities were incredible. The kitchen had so much stuff, and you could borrow items from the communal barn like lobster pots and muffin tins. They even had coffee and sugar ready for you! The on-demand hot water was life changing- you could shower AND wash dishes at the same time- that's better than my home! The wellness center has yoga, a float tan, massage, and a sauna- I did yoga, massage, and float and LOVED all of it. The location is a touch far for some of the main Acadia hikes, but if you plan your route, a 30 min drive is not a big deal, and it's lovely scenery. The place is SO quiet at night- very soothing. I had an incredible stay. Truly lovely owners- they couldn't be nicer. I hope to return!

Perfect home base for exploring Mount Desert Island Maine

We wanted to stay on the "Quietside" of MDI because we prefer things being quiet and peaceful. This was a perfect choice for this. Accurate description of the yurt and the amenities it has on the property. The yurt with its concrete floor was very large and roomy for a family of 4. With the kitchen, we had the option of eating in as well as trying some of the islands many restaurants. One of the fire roads starts very close to property, the fire roads are a less congested alternative to bike than the carriage roads. When we wanted to get over to Bar Harbor, it was an easy, scenic drive. There are plenty of hiking trails on the Quietside to take advantage of as well. If we make it back up to this part of Maine, we will stay here again.
