Yurt Glamping on the Quiet-side of Acadia National Park!

Our cosy Flying Mtn Yurt sleeps up to four guests and offers a unique blend of comfort and adventure. Yurts are circular, tent-like structures with a wood lattice frame and sturdy canvas exterior-an ancient design originating from the nomadic tribes of Asia. Today, modern yurts have become a popular holiday experience from coast to coast, offering a memorable alternative to traditional lodging.

Inside, you'll find a warm, inviting space thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials. 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 cosy year-round. All linens are provided for your convenience.

Whether you're exploring Acadia National Park, relaxing on Mount Desert Island, or simply looking to try something new, this yurt offers a peaceful and distinctive home base for your Maine adventure.

Comfortable, well equipped Yurt. Quiet location, close enough to hiking trails and other amenities on the island. We really liked being able to see and hear more of nature than we would from a hotel. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Really a perfect place to stay for us.

Our stay was fantastic!! The yurt was exactly as described - so spacious! It was the perfect amount of room to make some meals at home, have two beds, and even get up to some pumpkin carving! It was so close to southwest harbor and Acadia, but in a more private spot - location couldn’t be beat. The free firewood at the fire pit was so convenient - and we were the only folks there every night. Plus Karen and Aaron the owners are so nice. Can’t wait to go back!
