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!

Great vacation!
Our yurt was a great home base for our family to explore Acadia and MDI! It had everything we needed and we appreciated the amenities after long days spent exploring the park. Aaron and a Karen were great hosts and everything was as advertised. We definitely look forward to coming back in the future!

Excellent lodging- would book again in a heartbeat!
Yurt felt like a cozy luxe home for the week. Spotless, roomy, everything you need for your Maine adventure week. Slept 4 of us comfortably with room for cooking simple dinners, playing board games, lounging. We have absolutely no complaints- its perfect!

Perfect Acadia Location
The yurt, in addition to just being fun, was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The location was 30 minutes or less to everything on Mount Desert Island, but much quieter than the east side. Can't recommend enough and will certainly be back next time we're visiting Acadia!

A very special place!
The yurt provided an excellent home base for us while we explored Acadia and was the perfect balance of nature and comfort for our family! We loved our time there and would not hesitate to book again. Karen and Aaron do a wonderful job!

Nice get away
We had a great time. The yurts were wonderful. My only complaint is that we were right by the highway and we heard the traffic all night long.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay! We are thrilled you had a great time and greatly appreciate your thoughtful review! To future travelers- we are not sure what road noise the traveler heard throughout the night- we are located on a 2 lane country road. The main road is 1.3 miles away but is limited to 40 mph speed zone. If noise is an issue we do provide a white noise machine in each yurt and silicone ear plugs in our communal barn. Please reach out with any questions!

Stop looking and stay here
By far the most perfect spot to stay in Acadia. The balance between nature and convenience is perfect. Incredibly well maintained and clean. 10/10 we will be back.

Glamping
Nice quiet spot in the woods and well appointed yurt. A few of our group also used the Wellness Center and very much enjoyed the services. We would definitely return

About the host
Hosted by Karen Roper
Aaron is a Maine native. He was born and raised across the bridge in Trenton and grew up attending local Bar Harbor schools. He has worked in the restaurant industry for 20+ years beginning as a prep cook in high school then moving toward general manager. Aaron's favorite extracurricular activity is learning all he can about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As often as he can, he trains locally and loves sharing this passion with others.
Karen is a transplant. Originally from Chicago she made her way to Maine in 2009 and fell in love immediately. In Acadia she enjoys hiking, trail running, yoga, and long walks on the carriage roads. Karen has been teaching yoga locally for over 6 years and now brings her practice to the Wellness Center (located on site at Acadia Yurts). Karen is also a licensed massage therapist and offers services onsite (pending availability).
As a couple we have done quite a bit of traveling and through that we have narrowed down the particular way we like to travel. The biggest factor for us is having a furnished kitchen in order to prepare health minded foods to nourish our bodies and support all our outdoor activities. The idea for Acadia Yurts has been brewing for quite some time. Friends of ours live off the grid in a yurt and we greatly appreciate the rustic, romantic feel of the yurt but wanted some of the comforts of home; running water, heat, electricity. From there Acadia Yurts was born. We truly hope you enjoy our property and your time here as much as we do.
