Yurts are a structure that was traditionally used as housing by central Asia’s indigenous people. Our modern yurts are cozy circular wooden structures with windows and a see-through dome. The dome is wonderful for allowing guests to gaze at the starry nights without the hassle of bugs, making our yurts the perfect place to stay in the Moosehead Lake Region! We know your Maine vacation isn’t complete without a campfire to toast marshmallows and enjoy a drink! Our king bed yurts make for the perfect couple’s getaway in Moosehead Lake.
