Yurt Glamping on the Quiet-side of Acadia National Park!

Our cozy Beech Mtn Yurt sleeps up to four guests and offers a unique blend of comfort and adventure. Yurts are circular, tent-like structures with a wood lattice frame and sturdy canvas exterior-an ancient design originating from the nomadic tribes of Asia. Today, modern yurts have become a popular vacation experience from coast to coast, offering a memorable alternative to traditional lodging.

Inside, you'll find a warm, inviting space thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials. The yurt features a comfortable queen bed and a queen-size sleeper sofa, making it ideal for couples, friends, or small families. The kitchenette is equipped with a ¾ refrigerator, apartment-size stove and oven, sink, and all necessary cookware and dishware for simple meal prep.

A full bathroom with a stand-up shower adds everyday comfort, while the efficient heat pump and air conditioning keep the space cozy year-round. All linens are provided for your convenience.

Whether you're exploring Acadia National Park, relaxing on Mount Desert Island, or simply looking to try something new, this yurt offers a peaceful and distinctive home base for your Maine adventure.

We had an amazing visit to Acadia for the MDI half marathon. This was the perfect place to feel like a true getaway from city living, yet provide a lot of convenience and comfort for our whole family. The yurts are extremely clean and they thought of everything for appropriately stocking the kitchen and bathroom. Will definitely be coming back.

We had the best time staying at Acadia Yurts and Wellness Center. The yurt we stayed in was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. It was well equipped with all cookware and everything else you need of to make you feel “at home” while being away. The property itself is also beautiful and is located in a safe, quiet, peaceful neighborhood on the edge of Acadia’s West Side. The friendly hosts communicated clearly with us by means of the notes left in the yurt and their sporadic check-ins via text. We highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back again in the future!

The Maine Vacation of our Dreams!

This truly was the perfect getaway. Our first (but not last) visit to Acadia and the Yurt was the best way to experience it! Aaron and Karen were so communicative and informative, checking in, and giving us info that we wanted about the area! We’ll be back for sure and can’t recommend Acadia Yurts enough!

Absolutely amazing!

The yurt was fabulous for 3 adults and one child, age 12. It had everything we needed for our stay, and the little red barn offered extras if you need something outside of the norm like coffee filters, spices, umbrellas, laundry detergent, games, etc. There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable while inside. The picnic table and grill was a nice touch outside. I also loved the earplugs and eye masks and coffee station. Both beds were super comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the firepit one evening and made s'mores. The skylight was super cool, too! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone! Thank you for helping me ro enjoy Maine a little more !

It’s like you’re in the middle of nature. Great first impression! I was pleasantly surprised by the water pressure too! Too bad I didn’t have time to utilize the wellness center. I just might have to come back!

The listing was accurate and location very convenient to visit Acadia National Park. It was so helpful to have the kitchen with our young kids, we also enjoy the board games from the common barn and even managed to join one of the yoga class.

Great long weekend outside Acadia

The yurt was very comfortable and clean. Property in a good location close to the park but removed from the crowds of Bar Harbor, which gives it a great remote feeling. Necessities are just down the road in SW Harbor. Aaron and Karen were incredibly nice and accommodating the entire time. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay near Acadia!

Great escape

We loved our yurt and the solitude of the location. We were close to town and Acadia, but once we got back to our yurt, we enjoyed the remoteness of the location. It was the perfect size and had all amenities we needed. We slept like a baby, especially the night it rained.

Amazing Acadia Stay in the Woods

If you're going to Acadia, this is a great alternative from the overcrowded frenzy of Bar Harbor, or the overpriced chain hotels/motels around Mount Desert Island. Located just outside Southwest Harbor, this is a quieter corner of MDI with a little village that has a few stores and restaurants (most close at 8pm, so we didn't get to take much advantage). It's about a 15 minute drive from Bass Harbor Light, and about 25 minutes from Bar Harbor, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. The yurt itself is terrific! Solidly built, with a concrete floor and wood roof ribs, it was remarkably spacious and had all the conveniences of home: modern bath, kitchen, queen bed, couch, and dining table (no TV, which we didn't miss at all.) We stayed in the Beech Mtn yurt, which was set back from the circular drive, offering a bit more privacy than the other yurts. Most nights, we had a good nights sleep, but there was a rain storm on our final night, which was loud: a reminder that you're staying in a tent, not a solid structure. Also, there is a skylight/oculus centered on the roof, so the light comes streaming in the morning (when we were there, sunrise was at 445am). The hosts do provide eyeshades and earplugs, which do an ok job, but if you're a light sleeper, it might be a challenge to sleep straight through. Overall, we loved our experience, and would highly recommend to others looking to have a true outdoors stay in one of the most beautiful corners of the northeast.

Just about perfect

Wonderful location. Charming and super clean yurt and camp area. Hosts are really on it. If only it was possible to have a local vs group campfire it would have been perfectly perfect.
