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!

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!

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!

Cozy Dog Friendly Getaway!
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!

Nice place to make the most of Desert Island
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.

My fiancee and I stayed here for a week and loved it! The grounds are well maintained, all of the yurt sites are beautiful and well appointed. The owners are friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back and have started recommended it to others as well.

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.

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.

Wish we would have stayed longer
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.

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!!!

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.
