Located in idllyic Gouldsboro, Maine, this is a truly unique camping experience: a yurt set in the middle of nearly 20 acres of beautiful forest to explore, and guests will have it all to themselves. Overview of Campsite: Nearly 20 acre forest land available for rent by private parties looking to camp. Complex includes: - 20 ft. yurt furnished with full size futon, a twin loft bed, and another twin sized futon - Plenty of additonal space inside the yurt for camping cots, sleeping pads, etc. - Additional cleared space for pitching tents - Short trail from the campsite to Chicken Mill Pond where we have a 2-3 person canoe and two single-person kayaks available for use - Private driveway with parking area for 2-3 cars - Direct trail from the parking area to the main camping space - Longer loop trail that offers a more scenic walk through the forest and eventually leads to the campsite - Comfortable outhouse with a composting toilet - Fire pit in the camping area - Covered outdoor kitchen with grill and prep table - Kitchenette inside the yurt with sink, bar, and counter space Activities nearby: -5 minute drive from Francis B. Woods Preserve/Frenchman Bay Conservancy, a 438 acre forest with miles of trails that sit above the Maine coastal islands. Offers unbelievable hiking trails and beautiful views of coastal Maine. -5 minute drive to Bartlett Maine Estate Winery, Maine’s oldest winery. Option to take the canoe across Chicken Mill Pond and walk from there. -14 minute drive to the Schoodic Marine Center, where you can take a ferry to Bar Harbor for the day and catch a ferry back. While on the boat, look for wildlife such as seals, harbor porpoise, bald eagles and other waterfowl. Arriving in Bar Harbor, enjoy shopping, restaurants and other in town activities. -Cycle down the 29 mile Schoodic National Scenic Byway. -17 miles to Schoodic Peninsula and the famous Schoodic Point, where you can catch amazing ocean views. -5 minute drive to Prospect Harbor Lighthouse. Places to eat: The property is located a short drive from scenic Winter Harbor, which has a variety of locally owned restaurants. It's also only about a 25 minute drive to Ellsworth, which also has multiple eating options and grocery stores. Bar Harbor is only about 40 minutes from the property as well, which boasts some amazing eateries, shops, and other activities. NOTE: This site is fully off-grid and requires walking approximately 3-4 minutes on a forest trail from the parking area to get to the site. All equipment must be hand-carried in. There is limited power and potable water. Guests should be prepared for an off-grid yurt experience. Bedding and cookware also are not provided. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Due to uncertain weather conditions, the outdoor shower is only available for use from mid-late spring until late fall/early winter.

A couple of adventurers
Mathew’s yurt was amazing! Close enough to Acadia to fit in some awesome hikes during the day. Had that “we’re really out in the woods” feel and still had access to grocery and convenience stores when needed. The short hike into the site made it feel like we were in a fantasy novel. Would definitely recommend a visit, we’ll be returning ASAP!

Matthew's property is fantastic! The yurt, outdoor kitchen, and shower setup provide a camping/backcountry feel with plenty of luxurious amenities and space to stay dry and relax. Furthermore, Matthew is extremely responsive and went out of his way to help us. He and his brother are excellent hosts.

Secluded, safe, and stylish
Yurt and property in pristine condition, very well styled and maintained. All the necessary amenities are provided for a very comfortable elevated camping experience. Jugs of water on property, plug in ready power bank, kitchen utensils, paper towels- many things we though we would need to carry in but didn’t! We got caught in some heavy rains (late August) but with the right footwear and rain gear the yurt was completely dry and cozy to return to. We are definitely considering a return trip next summer! Thank you Matthew
