The yurt features a comfortable queen bed and a queen-size sleeper sofa, making it ideal for couples, friends, or small families. The kitchenette is equipped with a ¾ refrigerator, apartment-size stove and oven, sink, and all necessary cookware and dishware for simple meal prep.

A full bathroom with a stand-up shower adds everyday comfort, while the efficient heat pump and air conditioning keep the space cozy year-round. All linens are provided for your convenience.

The Yurts were fantastic, comfortable and clean. It's a well designed and maintained property with awesome staff to help with your questions and concerns. The location is great with Acadia and bar harbor nearby. My wife and I would definitely recommend it for long or short stays.

This stay was so amazing! The yurt has everything you need and is so fun to stay in. The amenities are so nice and thoughtful. My only criticism was the bed is not that comfortable but the rest of the stay made up for that.

Great place!

The listing was accurate and location very convenient to visit Acadia National Park. It was so helpful to have the kitchen with our young kids, we also enjoy the board games from the common barn and even managed to join one of the yoga class.

We had an amazing visit to Acadia for the MDI half marathon. This was the perfect place to feel like a true getaway from city living, yet provide a lot of convenience and comfort for our whole family. The yurts are extremely clean and they thought of everything for appropriately stocking the kitchen and bathroom. Will definitely be coming back.

The Maine Vacation of our Dreams!

This truly was the perfect getaway. Our first (but not last) visit to Acadia and the Yurt was the best way to experience it! Aaron and Karen were so communicative and informative, checking in, and giving us info that we wanted about the area! We’ll be back for sure and can’t recommend Acadia Yurts enough!

Wonderful location. Charming and super clean yurt and camp area. Hosts are really on it. If only it was possible to have a local vs group campfire it would have been perfectly perfect.
