The best yurt rentals in Maryland

Whether youre planning to hike a portion of the Appalachian Trail in South Mountains State Park, look for fossils at Calvert Cliffs State Park, paddle the calm waters of Janes Island State Park, or play a few rounds of disc golf at Seneca Creek State Park, Maryland offers yurt camping options for outdoor lovers. Maryland yurts are a great option for campers and large groups looking for more space and comfort than typical tent campsites, and you can find basic ones at Rocky Gap State Park in the northern reaches of the state. Elsewhere, private glamping yurts typically come with comfy amenities like queen beds, a wood stove, air conditioning, a private deck, and wifi, making them ideal for year-round comfort. No matter where you stay, adventure opportunities are endless—escape Baltimore to chase waterfalls at Gunpowder Falls State Park in spring, play in the ocean and look for wild horses at Assateague State Park outside Ocean City in summer, go leaf peeping in Tuckahoe State Park in fall, or hit New Germany State Park for winter cross-country skiing.

Looking to tend to you? Would it be to rest in nature and soak up the sounds and wonder of our wooded landscape, explore hiking trails and national and state parks, float down the Potomac, and/or visit historic sites and towns? Fern Yabin (a hard sided yurt) is nestled in a forest on a ridge (Elk Ridge) directly across from the Maryland Appalachian Trail. We are tucked down in a holler surrounded by streams, towering Poplars, wildlife and dappled sunshine. The land hosts some animals - a goat, dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks while growing medicinal plants, seasonal edible berries/fruits (wineberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, mulberries, elderberries, vine kiwi, pawpaw, etc.) and rocks (plenty of them). There is a couple of acres enclosed with an electric fence where the livestock guardian dog (Luna) roams with the animals. We also sell farm fresh eggs. Fern Yabin is a rustic hard sided yurt style cabin that has hot and cold water, composting toilet, outdoor shower (cold water only), a indoor soaking tub, hot water kettle, an outdoor propane grill, ceiling fan, outdoor patio and fire pit, skylight, WiFi, and lots of character. The Yabin was a true labor of love built as a collective effort in community. There is a designated parking spot and a gravel path (moderate decline) that leads down to the Yabin. If you are a thru hiker, drop off and pick up is available for a fee. Please inquire upon booking. We are 10 minutes to the Appalachian Trail (Weverton Cliffs/Gathland SP and Crampton Gap) and the Potomac/Shenandoah Rivers (great for tubing/kayaking/wading/swimming). There are outdoor outfitters within 15 minutes where all kinds of wonderful adventures await including a brewery with a stunning vista of the river and area. We are 15 minutes away from historic Harpers Ferry. Antietam National Battlefield and other historic sites are within 30 minutes. For amazing dining opportunities and small city life - Frederick, MD, Boonsboro, MD, Brunswick, MD, Shepherdstown, WV and Charles Town, WV are about a 30 min drive. We are also close to several state parks in the tri state area (MD, VA, WV). We are welcoming to all people, regardless of gender, age, gender identity, race, national origin, disability, ethnicity, and religion.

1 night at Fern Yabin @ Tend to Me Retreat

We both had a lovely time. The space is as described and was a cozy, relaxing night. We hiked near by, grilled dinner, and had a camp fire, and a good rest. Thanks to Andrea, Petunia, and all for having us.

Weekend Trip to Fern Yabin @ Tend to Me Retreat

In a nutshell, we loved the Yabin! The property is very laid-back and accessible. The cozy outside area with a fire pit and seating area is right outside the door of the Yabin. It is much bigger and more sturdy than we imagined. So much space with many nice touches. The woodstove kept everything nice and cozy overnight. The beds were so comfortable! Andrea could not be more accommodating and she is very communicative. If you decide to book, before you pack for your trip, make sure you check with Andrea. She really has thought of just about everything you will need. I can’t wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to Mulehalla

I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend here. The yurt is by campsite 11- hard to find if you didn’t know that. The grounds were immaculate. Very quiet, very nice. Easy to get to c&o canal. Bathrooms clean. Very nice owner. I found the Hipcamp app frustrating though.
