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!

The Yurt was spotless, the host thought of everything a traveler might need. Little things like lots of hooks and hangers, and places to store things for the stay. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the host stayed in contact and was available to us if needed. The property was beautiful and peaceful.We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Absolutely Amazing Place!

Acadia Yurts was cozy, clean, quaint and provided a spacious Yurt for 2 adults and 2 dogs! The grounds are a perfect place for anyone looking to get away and stay in touch with nature. Karen and Aaron’s hospitality made our stay that much more enjoyable.

Perfect Accommodations for visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor

We stayed in the Sargent Mtn Yurt with our dog, Max. It was so spacious with all the comforts of home. It was easy to get to Acadia hiking trails and Bar Harbor. It was so peaceful to sleep under the yurt's dome skylight and awake to the sunrise. The hosts were in contact before and during our stay to make sure all of our needs were met. We hope to return with family one day soon!

Acadia Yurts

Quiet & peaceful- just what we needed after a busy day in and around Acadia Nat’l park. Enjoyed “all the comforts of home” in a yurt nestled in the woods. This was our second time staying here and it was as special as the first time.
