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!

Wonderful Experience
The property was exactly as described, but was more spacious than I was actually expecting. I had never been to Acadia before and when I was unable to get a park pass at one of the service locations (off season) I was able to purchase it online and the owners were nice enough to print me a copy to display on my car dashboard

AMAZING! Is the only word that can summarize our stay. From booking to departing. The property exceeded everyone in my parties expectations! It was like our home away from home. If ever in the area again, we are staying at Acadia Yurts!

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!

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!

Very comfortable, quiet, and private stay in Acadia
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.

Amazing week at Acadia Yurts
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.

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!

Awesome and unique place to stay!
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.

Wonderful Experience
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.

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!

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++

Amazing stay at Acadia Yurts
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!

First- time “Yurtee”
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!
