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!

Very memorable!

This was my family's first time staying in a yurt, and we were very happy with our experience. Karen and Aaron designed the entire place with an eye toward comfort and convenience. The kitchen was equipped with every accessory we could want. I also appreciated the board games we were able to borrow from the Red Barn. My husband enjoyed the flotation session in the Wellness Center, too. I highly recommend Acadia Yurts!

Magical Stay

We stayed at Acadia Yurts in July '25 in the Norumbega Mtn Yurt. The location in the woods was beautiful. So quiet out there with only very quiet camping for Acadia employees across the street. Within a reasonable distance to main attractions and Bar Harbor but far enough to enjoy being away from the fray. The yurt itself was perfect and very comfortable for cooking and relaxing. All the amenities you could need. And almost anything else you could need is found across the street in the community barn which you can sign-out for use. Everyone was respectful and friendly. We enjoyed using the community fire pit one night for some smores!

Great vacation!

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!

Perfect Acadia Location

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!

Luxury in the woods

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!

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!
