The Norumbega Mtn Yurt is our largest yurt, offering a spacious and memorable stay for up to six guests. Yurts are unique, tent-like circular structures with a wood-lattice frame and thick canvas walls-an ancient design originating from the nomadic tribes of Asia. Our modern version pairs that traditional charm with the comfort of a fully equipped vacation rental. With reflective insulation and a high-efficiency heat pump/AC unit, you'll stay cozy in any season.

Inside, you'll find everything you need for a relaxed and comfortable stay. The enclosed bedroom features a queen bed, while a second queen bed sits in the lofted sleeping area (featuring regulation stairs). A queen-size sleeper sofa in the main living space provides extra room for additional guests. ALL linens also included!

The large kitchen is thoughtfully stocked and includes a range/oven, dishwasher, stand-up refrigerator, sink, cookware, and dishware-perfect for preparing meals together after a day in the park. The yurt also includes a full bathroom with a stand-up shower.

Whether you're exploring Acadia National Park, unwinding on Mount Desert Island, or simply looking for a unique place to stay, the Norumbega Mtn Yurt offers comfort, character, and a true glamping experience inspired by centuries of tradition.

    This year's vacation in Maine was outstanding. Exploring in the park, wonderful food (we both tried lobster for the first time), and the gorgeous yurt! So much space. Very clean. Not too far from most things. Everything we needed and more! Will definitely return some day!

    This was such an incredible experience! The Yurt was a fun and comfortable place to spend our time. It was quiet, but was also accessible to other island activities. We had a great time, and enjoyed being able to cook at “home”. The beds were very comfortable, including the pull out couch. Everything was very clean. Temp control was great, even as we experience temps between 45 and 60! Loved our stay here, and will absolutely be staying here again.

    Very nice spot to spend a few nights in Acadia. The checkout process is a little tedious, I must admit, though.

    Amazing yurt! This one has a loft! The woodwork is exquisite. Super close to some Acadia fire roads on the “Quiet Side” of the island. Beds were super comfortable. Loved the light coming through the sky light.

    Great property. Very clean, comfortable and well stocked. The location was perfect. Not too far from most of Acadia's attractions. Check in and check out were very easy. Loved this yurt!

    This was such a great spot! It was on the quieter side of the island which was really nice. The hosts thought about everything, even had a stool for our little kiddo to use to be able to reach the sink. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer. Definitely coming back!

    We stayed at Acadia Yurts in July '25 in the Norumbega Mtn Yurt. The location in the woods was beautiful. So quiet out there with only very quiet camping for Acadia employees across the street. Within a reasonable distance to main attractions and Bar Harbor but far enough to enjoy being away from the fray. The yurt itself was perfect and very comfortable for cooking and relaxing. All the amenities you could need. And almost anything else you could need is found across the street in the community barn which you can sign-out for use. Everyone was respectful and friendly. We enjoyed using the community fire pit one night for some smores!

    This was my family's first time staying in a yurt, and we were very happy with our experience. Karen and Aaron designed the entire place with an eye toward comfort and convenience. The kitchen was equipped with every accessory we could want. I also appreciated the board games we were able to borrow from the Red Barn. My husband enjoyed the flotation session in the Wellness Center, too. I highly recommend Acadia Yurts!

    Exactly what we were looking for! A place to call home while we explored Acadia and Bar Harbor! Fit 6 girls comfortably with surprisingly no arguing over the bathroom! Would definitely stay here again!

    This was the first time I have ever stayed in a yurt, and this place has definitely changed the way I will be traveling from now on. The yurt felt like I was staying in a house!

    The property was exactly as described, but was more spacious than I was actually expecting. I had never been to Acadia before and when I was unable to get a park pass at one of the service locations (off season) I was able to purchase it online and the owners were nice enough to print me a copy to display on my car dashboard

    AMAZING! Is the only word that can summarize our stay. From booking to departing. The property exceeded everyone in my parties expectations! It was like our home away from home. If ever in the area again, we are staying at Acadia Yurts!

    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
