Customer Reviews
We have been coming to Maine Forest Yurts for nearly a decade. It has grown from a relaxing couple's retreat to a family destination. Situated on 100 wooded acres the grounds offer everything you need to unplug and get away - hiking, canoeing, and swimming. In the winter months sledding, ice skating and cross country skiing trails. The yurts are incredibly comfy and well stocked with everything you need and nothing you don't. The Crowley Family are amazing hosts and really great people. Can't recommend enough!!
This was our first yurt excursion and it definitely won't be our last! We stayed in the Fisher Ridge Yurt which is nestled in the beautiful, serene wooded property of Maine Forest Yurts. We arrived after dark on a Friday evening and were greeted by the owner who showed us around the yurt and explained the use of the wood stove. It was pretty cold outside but the inside of the yurt was super warm and inviting (they had the wood stove going prior to our arrival). We immediately felt right at home. The bunk beds and futon were super comfy, and we loved the sink in the 'kitchen' area so we could wash up even without running water. The outhouse wasn't bad at all ... only down side was it isn't heated and it does get a bit chilly in there early morning / late at night. Our dogs LOVED it here and
A perfect Maine glamping getaway! Maine Forest Yurts is one of my favorite places to escape and recharge. The yurts are cozy, clean, and set right on peaceful Runaround Pond; the ideal spot for a relaxing nature retreat. The owners, Page, Bob, and Peggy, are incredibly kind and thoughtful, and it shows in every part of the experience. If you're looking for yurt camping in Maine or a quiet place to unwind in the woods, this is the place to go.
Great space for some time away with friends or family. We had two teens and a five year old with us. All five fit great in The yurt. We enjoyed the deck at Zen Den when BBQing. We played and swam at the pond. The kayaks and canoes were a nice treat. We used them to go up and down Runabout Pond. There is no electricity, which we thought was great. There are only outhouses and outside showers for toileting and hygiene stuff, but it worked great for us. A little smelly, but that’s to be expected. Not too far from Portland and really close to Freeport. We seriously have no complaints. The owners are super friendly!
Our stay was nothing short of amazing. My family had a great time relaxing all weekend. Thank you so much for giving us a free stay because my wife and I are Veterans. I look forward to returning.
