About this property

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

  • Our cosy 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 holiday 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 cosy 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.

The Yurts were fantastic, comfortable and clean. It's a well designed and maintained property with awesome staff to help with your questions and concerns. The location is great with Acadia and bar harbor nearby. My wife and I would definitely recommend it for long or short stays.

This stay was so amazing! The yurt has everything you need and is so fun to stay in. The amenities are so nice and thoughtful. My only criticism was the bed is not that comfortable but the rest of the stay made up for that.

Great place!

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.

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!

We loved it here.

We loved our yurt. It was surprisingly spacious and had everything we needed. It was very comfortable and we didn’t have any problems. The whole property was well kept. The proprietors were very nice. We also loved the sauna, massage and float. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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!

Exceeded our expectations

The yurts are extremely clean and cozy. We had everything we needed and loved waking up to the view of trees and sky in our skylight. It is so quiet and peaceful, no noisy campers everyone is respectful of the peaceful wooded location.

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!

Quiet Oasis on MDI

We has such an amazing stay at the yurts. Karen and Aaron do a great job and are very accommodating. We slept great, had just what we needed, and even did laundry a couple of times. Maximize your stay by scheduling a service at the Wellness Center they have onsite. You wont regret it.

Amazing property

I remember saying to my husband right after we checked in that this was the first time that a rental property was actually better than the pictures; I was so impressed! The yurt was so clean, beautiful and so functional. We spent most of our days at Acadia National Park but the yurt was such a cozy and quiet place to come back to each evening. The yurts are also all spaced apart enough so that you feel like you have privacy.

First time Yurter

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!

Glamping and Hiking

We checked in late, but didn't have any issues. The place looked brand new and clean. We loved the setting and especially since it was on the quiet side of the island. I booked since all reviews were 5/5 and after staying, I agree. We both loved the massages at the facility and the proximity to Southwest Harbor. Especially liked the hiking gems found on the quiet side like Long Pond. Highly recomend.

Yurts are cool!

Well organized property. Yurts and cabins are nestled into a forested plot of land. Each with privacy, foliage and staggered about along an inner roadway. Walkways well defined with lighting and solid footing. My fondest memory is the sound of the birds in the morning. A beautiful sound to wake up to.

Beautiful and Relaxing Oasis

The yurt was everything we'd hoped for - peaceful, quiet, well appointed, with the comfiest bed we've ever slept in away from home! Karen and Aaron we great hosts, showing up on our door step first thing on a Saturday morning when our heat went out. We were celebrating a birthday and they even provided a champagne toast! Very thoughtful touches throughout the space, lovely hot water and water pressure, plenty of pillows. The space was perfect. Just wish I'd brought slippers, as the floors were freezing in late October! We'll definitely be back to stay again...

Fabulous

We stayed in the beach mountain yurt. We absolutely fell in love. Every detail was perfect. You can hear nature, but are completely comfortable and protected from the elements. We could easily live in one of Aaron and Karens beautiful yurts. I also took advantage of the yoga classes at the wellness center on the property. The studio is beautiful and welcoming. The peace and gratitude cultivated during our stay at Acadia Yurts will not be forgotten. Stay here! You will love it!
