Easy Get Away

Loved the yurt life. Loved the queen sized bunk beds, Loved the trails that they are building on the grounds. It was great being able to take the dogs for a walk in the woods right from our door. Pretty amazing. Would recommend

Well set up

I think for this kind of experience, everything was well set up, although we did not have enough blankets, so was really cold the first night we were there

Great one night stay for a couple of skiers

Beautiful, cozy, with the nicest out house I've ever been in and I've been in quite a few. Didn't really use the stove or water systems. And only thing was the lack of pillows or bedding.... Still five star stay but bring your own blankets. Bed was sheeted but nothing more than a fitted. little odd but over was a fantastic stay, we will repeat next year.

Thank you! Love that you admired the outhouse! We wish we had facilities or a local service to manage large amounts of laundry so we could provide all the linens. We keep the clean fitted mattress protectors on the beds as they are waterproof and keep the mattresses clean and dry. We hope to see you back again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Western Maine Yurts

Host profile image

Western Maine Yurts is a small, locally owned and operated business. Owner, Alex, can be found on site doing anything from property maintenance to cleaning. He dreamed up the vision for Western Maine Yurts and personally designed and built the property from the ground up; from excavation and site work to raising the yurts and furnishing the interiors. He has a passion for fly fishing and exploring the rivers of Western Maine. His love for Maine rivers inspired the yurt names. A artist at heart, he also enjoys creating art inspired by his fly fishing adventures. Now a Registered Maine Fly Fishing Guide, he is excited to offer guide services from the yurts, connecting guests to his favorite spots on local rivers.

Why they chose this property

As a local Western Mainer, Alex chose Bethel, Maine for the glamping villages with the goal of creating a launching point for outdoors enthusiasts, artists, fly fisherman, skiers, snowboarders, etc. to base their adventures from. Bethel is the gateway to the Western Mountains and rivers of Maine! From here you have close access to the White Mountain National Forest, Grafton Notch State Park, the mighty Androscoggin River, Sunday River Ski Area, Mt Abram Ski Area and Bike Park and so much more. We pride ourselves in helping put clients in touch with the best nature has to offer. Bethel Village has a variety of delicious local eats, small shops, and independent local entertainment to offer.

What makes this property unique

Our yurts keep guests close to nature and Bethel Village and are furnished to be the coziest most comfortable "camping" experience. The property was designed to have as low and impact of the local forest as possible. Guests may spot local wildlife like nesting hawks, deer, and occasionally moose! Our bathhouse is not your average campground bathroom experience. The facilities are modern, kept very clean, and designed with your comfort in mind (on demand hot water, adjustable shower heads, heated floors!)
