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 best managed property I have ever stayed at. Superb communication with Aaron and Karen. We cooked in every night and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The pots and pans and dishes and glassware were high quality and the kitchen was spotless.
A delightful spot to enjoy a cappuccino and a bowl of oatmeal!

Anniversary trip turned into engagement moon!

Owners were very quick with communications and we were even able to extend our stay. Yurt was comfortable with all amenities within. Loved having private bath and kitchen. Felt like home for us. Centrally located to everything that we wanted to. We were able to visit the park and bar harbor everyday. Already planning on coming back and staying for our honeymoon.

Just Book It!

This was hands down one of the best vacations we’ve ever had! The views were absolutely stunning, and staying in the Yurt added such a unique and cozy touch to the entire experience. It’s perfectly located—close to everything we wanted to do, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and secluded from the hustle and bustle. The hosts were phenomenal—friendly, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to communicate with. We can’t recommend this stay enough and would return in a heartbeat!
