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!

Incredible Experience

This was the most amazing experience. Everything was perfect. We had everything we needed and was able to take a five minute drive to a nearby IGA for food and supplies, and had lovely restaurants nearby. We enjoyed the short drive to the bottom of Long Pond for hiking and a peaceful, beautiful place to read and sit to start and end our days. The campground was just so peaceful and beautiful. I highly recommend.

Great Family Stay!

This yurt had everything we needed and much more room than a hotel room. Very peaceful area and not far from the main road at all. This gave the camping feel yet had the nice amenities to go with. It was away from the park loop road which we thought it was going to be an issue, but we spent half of our time on this side anyways so it worked out for the location. The host gave lots of good places to go also in their book. If I went to Acadia again I would stay here.

First time staying in a yurt and we loved it!

This was the first time that my bf and I stayed in a yurt, and we both loved it! The yurt was very clean and much more spacious than I was expecting. The week we stayed had cooler temps and the heater in the yurt had no issues maintaining a cozy 70 degrees. The hosts provided wonderful recommendations for restaurants and hikes and responded timely to our questions. We would definitely recommend to anyone who’s interested in glamping!

Wonderful accommodations!

Owners have thought of everything when furnishing the yurt! Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We loved being on the Quietside of Acadia and didn't mind the short scenic drive. Wished we could have stayed longer to participate in yoga and take advantage of a massage, but there were no yurt openings the following week. We will definitely recommend this property to our friends and family. Thanks Aaron & Karen for making our trip special and memorable!

Amazing Stay with Kids!

We had a really wonderful experience "glamping" in Acadia. Unfortunately due to work restraints we were unable to take the full week that we had intended and our 7 day experience was shortened to 4. We loved the location on the quieter side of MDI, the proximity to town, the starry nights, the campfire, the pristine condition of the yurt and really feeling removed from the hustle and bustle of the City. We especially love that yurt is now in our everyday vocabulary. We plan to be back next year-and will take full advantage of yurt life.

Fantastic experience!

What an amazing stay we had at Acadia Yurts! We spent a week with our two children, ages 10 and 8, in the Flyin Mtn Yurt. Every detail has been taken into consideration to make your stay comfortable. It is the ultimate in 'camping'. So close to nature but yet so close to a shower and bathroom. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes around the paths, picking dvd's from the community barn, and of course the s'mores at the Friday night bonfire. Karen and Aaron are the perfect hosts and always available to help if needed. We are looking forward to planning our next vacation at Acadia Yurts.

Glamping at its best!

I spent 2 weeks at Acadia Yurts - perfect getaway for me. The Yurt is well supplied with all one needs, very comfortable, and a unique opportunity to wake up, looking up, seeing what Mother Nature has in store for the day. The location is very convenient to many of the attractions of Acadia National Park and to the Island Explorer bus system. There are a number of restaurants in the center of Southwest Harbor that provide a variety of dining experiences. At the beginning of Seal Cove Rd there is a delightful coffee place and a very casual family restaurant. One week I spent at a watercolor workshop at the Acadia Workshop Center that is only 5 miles away. I was registered for the workshop and found the Yurts in searching for lodging. Karen and Aaron are very responsive to any need and readily available. My thanks to the 2 of you for sharing your dream so I could have a great vacation!

We had the most amazing week staying in this yurt! The space was cozy, peaceful, and just what we needed to unwind and enjoy nature. The owners were incredibly lovely and accommodating, so friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We truly couldn’t have been more excited to be there. Our two kids loved it! Everything was perfect, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

Even in the rain

We stayed her in 2017 and we were so pleased to find that the yurt was not only spotless but improved. It had an even more comfortable couch, nothing looked worn out, and everything was so cozy and clean. It POURED but it was a fantastic place to enjoy time with friends. Bring slippers as the floors are cold but everything else, just as warm as can be. Go support the businesses of SW Harbor while you’re there! Excellent restaurants too. Hope it’s not 8 more years until we can return!

Everything about this rental was what I had hoped for. Sturdy, warm, well-appointed yurt with thoughtful amenities. Pristine, serene, well-maintained property. Friendly, responsive yet unintrusive owners. Convenient to the park but tucked away. Fantastic wellness center with a myriad of offerings and classes. Highly, highly recommended!

We loved our stay. The yurt was clean, everything accessible to make our stay easy. Short drive to Bar Harbor for dinner and shopping. Short drive to Acadia Park. 10/10 we would absolutely stay again. I have to say that the tankless water heater was greatly appreciated when there were 4 of us showering to get ready.

Great property managers and awesome amenities. We took our 4 month old on his first vacation ever to a Tiny house while my family stayed in a yurt. From the in-house coffee to the campsite laundromat, I had everything I needed to have a fun, relaxing, worry-free time as a new mom!

Truly Amazing

Our extended family rented 4 yurts for a week and absolutely loved the experience. Acadia Yurts are perfectly located to allow for a remote feel, yet still have easy access to all that MDI has to offer. Yurt life has a camping atmosphere but with the luxuries of showers, a real bed, and simple cooking. Our family was able to spend quality time together but all have personal space. We had an amazing week and plan to be back again soon!

May 2024 Acadia Getaway

We traveled up to Acadia from the Boston area for a few days. We enjoyed the serenity of the yurt, and also the ability to cook some of our own meals. We did not take advantage of some of the amenities (i.e., the Wellness Center), but we plan to the next time we visit. It can get bright in mornings, so perhaps bring a sleep mask if sunlight wakes you up. All in all, it was as advertised and very cute.
