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!

Glamping with spa access

Beautiful and thoughtful place to stay. I felt close to nature and my partner didn’t have to go without access to any comfort. Our visit in early May meant rain was likely, so we planned on and got to enjoy the wellness center which was excellent. We also brought our dog along thanks to one of the pet-friendly yurts!

Relaxing Yurt Vacation

We stayed in the Flying Mountain Yurt with our dog and it was great! We arrived in the evening and the check-in was easy - instructions were emailed a few days before. The Yurt was clean and had everything we needed. Karen was responsive and we felt taken care of the whole time. The location of the Yurt was convenient and an easy drive to the different parts of Acadia and Bar Harbor. The yurt had information about local shops and things to do, which was helpful also. Walking our dog was easy and the stay overall was very relaxing. 100% recommend!

Fantastic in nature

The yurt was beautiful and well equipped with everything we needed. Loved the property and the accessibility to things like the pantry, garbage, laundry, etc. Didnt get to enjoy the firepit or the yoga classes but will definitely be coming back! Location was great as well and decent distance to Acadia and Bar Harbor

Bliss and Paradise

My wife and I stayed at Acadia Yurts for 5 incredible days. The property is beautiful and well maintained, quiet and peaceful, perfect for a week of relaxing and decompressing. It's a short 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and 30 minutes from Acadia National Park. Highly recommended!!

Ready to live in a yurt forever

My dogs and I had the best week at Acadia Yurts. It was comfortable, clean, warm, and I loved being able to see the starts through through skylight at night! We had everything we needed, and nature right outside the door. The shared pantry was a fantastic idea, and we also appreciated having access to laundry. Time to set up Acadia Yurts 2.0 for people who want to live there permanently!

Dreams Do Come True

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.

Amazing Getaway!

We stayed in the Flying Mtn Yurt for 1 week and it was perfect! The yurt was more comfortable than most hotel rooms and had anything you could need including AC. The location was perfect and was not too far from anywhere you might want to go but also was far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Thank you for a great stay, we will be back again!

Literally steps from Acadia

Best I could have imagined. Steps from the park to take a morning run. Acadia Yurts was so relaxing and park owners super attentive. Some noise from local business but otherwise felt like we were staying right in Acadia National Park.

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 BEST place to stay in Southwest Harbor!

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!
