Experience life off-the-grid on our 50-acre homestead, surrounded by 100 acres of wild blueberry barrens. We built our 20ft guest yurt with sustainably harvested maple saplings from our land. It's surrounded by beech trees and tucked away from our cabin. It's a very special place to us, and we're excited to share it!We live 1/2 mile down a dirt road tucked into the forest. Enjoy the solitude of the woods, but with a lot to do nearby. Only 10 minutes from downtown Belfast, 15 minutes from Swan Lake State Park, 30 minutes to Camden, and an hour from Acadia. The yurt has a full bed, loveseat, dining table, and kitchen area with a propane stove and bucket sink (no running water, but jugs of water provided.) There is a solar generator for lights and charging phones. Outside there's a fire pit, outdoor chairs, and a private outhouse. **we are doing some redecorating and furnishings may be different than in the photo The yurt is at the start of our long driveway, and our cabin is at the far end, through the woods and not visible from the yurt. We're nearby if you need anything, but far away enough for your privacy. We don't have any close by neighbors, but our road is public. The nitty gritty: Kitchen essentials are provided--a cooler, cookware, utensils, mugs, glasses, wine opener, pour over coffee maker and filters, salt, pepper, oil, dish soap, and a sponge. If there's something else you need, we may have it! Please just ask at least 24 hours before your visit. All trash is pack in pack out. Well behaved dogs are welcome. Campfires are allowed, but since you're tucked into the canopy, they must be small and in control. Do not bring firewood (to avoid transporting bugs)! We may have firewood available for your stay, reach out to be certain. Otherwise, it can be bought locally. No burning of plastic, trash, or food. Water is provided to put the fire out before you go to bed. Things to bring: -ice for the cooler -headlamps -binoculars -bug spray

We loved our stay at Beech Grove Yurt! The hosts are very kind and easy to communicate with. It had all the comforts of home and the wood stove kept the space warm on a chilly night. The space is private and quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend!

Perfect Yurt in the Woods.

Beech Grove Yurt was perfect! Clean, cozy, and extremely comfortable. The yurt was easy to find based on directions given, included all the basics we needed to stay for a couple of nights (we brought food and bedding), and included so many thoughtful details that truly delighted us. My favorite detail—Gloria provided a basket of handmade house slippers for folks to use while in the yurt. We liked them so much we each bought a pair to bring home with us!

Amazing stay

My girlfriend and I had a great time staying at the yurt. Our stay was as expected and more. We were worried it might be difficult to find the yurt once we are there due to lack of service. But thankfully Gloria was very communicative throughout our trip and we had service once we arrived there. 5/5

Yurt life

What a treat - and just what the doctor ordered. The yurt was cozy and inviting. Gloria's handwritten welcome note was touching. Watching herons in the neighboring blueberry barrens was an unexpected bonus. We are already excited for the next visit.

Excellent!!!

We loved our stay. The yurt was very sweet and cozy. The outhouse and the yurt were so clean and it all exceeded our expectations. Lots of room, comfy clean bed and very sweet decor.

Wish I'd stayed longer!

My only regret is that I could only stay 1 night. It was a blissful stay in the most wonderfully cozy yurt. Surrounded by woods and blueberry barrens, it was my idea of paradise. Without ever meeting Gloria in person, I can say with certainty that she's an exceptional host. There was a lovely note left on the table to welcome me, and every little touch, including the hand-made slippers, made my retreat perfect.

We loved this cozy yurt so much! It had everything we needed and was the perfect place to land on our way to Acadia. Gloria left us some fresh cut flowers and eggs from her chickens. and the firewood was amazing! Recommend this spot to anyone! :)

Gloria and Brian are excellent hosts. The yurt was beautiful, much bigger than expected, spotlessly clean and so well equipped with everything you need - it really exceeded our expectations. The bed is comfortable and with a dining table and chairs and sofa we had plenty of places to sit inside, as well as the fire pit outside. It’s a fantastic place to explore the surrounding Searsport area too. We highly recommend this amazing place to stay and will definitely be back again!

All the Zen Vibes!

If you’re looking for a serene Maine woods getaway, look no further! This is the perfect retreat for if you’re looking for a relaxing, off the grid experience. The nearby coastal towns are just a short drive away if you choose to get out and explore some awesome dining and sights. As for accommodations, well, they were pristine. From the solar string lights to light your way in the dark, to the charging station and furnishings for added comfort— it’s enough to make you consider doing this Yurt life year-round. As for the outhouse: it’s easily the cleanest one we’ve ever seen; and we’ve camped across the country (twice). We can’t wait to return for another stay before the season ends. Thank you Brian and Gloria for the hospitality!! 👏🏻

All the Zen vibes!

What a gem! This was such a serene and unexpected find tucked away in the woods. If you’re looking for an uninterrupted Maine outdoor retreat — this is the spot. The accommodations could not be any cleaner. Hands down the tidiest outhouse we’ve ever seen, and we’ve camped all over the country — so believe us! This was a great first Yurt experience, which we can’t wait to repeat time and time again. Thank you Brian and Gloria for creating this little slice of heaven for all of us to enjoy.
