A yurt in the trees. Close to Portland but close to nature. Treeyurt Maine
Glamping in the Treeyurt is pretty magical. Relax and unwind to the sound of owls at night and the crackle of the wood stove. Fully insulated and heated this yurt supplies year round comfort for guests. Located on the back of the property, the Treeyurt is a glamping spot with electricity, a kitchenette with a coffee maker toaster oven cook top mini fridge and plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils and silverware and plates bowls and mugs. There is a queen bed and a day bed fully supplied with comfy bedding pillows sheets and blankets. The outhouse has a dry flush toilet and there is an outdoor sink and solar outdoor shower with running water in the warmer months typically May 15 through October 15. An outdoor solar shower which means the water is heated by the sun by a coil located on top of the shower stall. Please BYOT. Bring your own towel. We do supply water in the colder months as well. The fire pit and outdoor area are framed by timed string lights and We sell campfire wood for $5 per bundle and hope to supply for the whole season but check in to make sure we have enough for your stay. Gathering of downed sticks and branches is welcomed but please do not cut trees or branches down. The white bags of wood are for inside use only and are used for heating during the colder months. The wood stove and monitor heater work nicely in combination to keep the yurt cozy and warm during the winter. For summer time the Velcro windows open as well as the dome and a floor fan is provided. The driveway is the only shared part of the property so even though the main house is about 200 feet from the yurt, it feels private. The yurt path is located on the right side of the driveway and winds back to the yurt through the woods.

The treeyurt was a fun and memorable experience. Everything was as advertised and the host makes everything easy, accessible, and welcoming. We would definitely return!
The property was so relaxing! Amy was a wonderful host and I’d highly recommend to anybody. We stayed during a winter storm but that made the experience even better!
The yurt was simply amazing! My boyfriend, pup and I had a great stay! Amy was quick to respond and had all the necessities on site that were needed. The outdoor bathroom, sink and shower were so clean and easy to use! We wish we would’ve had more time. Will definitely be staying again.
I had a wonderful stay at the yurt! Bed was very comfy, heater worked great (didn’t even need the wood birding stove in October,) and the overall vibe was just so relaxing. Thank you!
Very well appointed yurt, quite impressive from the insulation and great heat (very easy to operate and cozy to sit in front of woodstove) to a novel compost toilet, sensor lighting all around, so no-one is in the dark when getting up in middle of night, beautiful deck, sink and woodsy surroundings. Not so out of civilization to feel barren - close enough to road with a lovely path in (and a very efficient & easy to haul heavy loads wagon to haul stuff in with).
We enjoyed our time at this unique place. We were able to stay dry inside and play cards games, through one of the nights. We got to enjoy eating meals on the deck and looking at nature too. Our little toddler thought the hammock was awesome and we enjoyed the privacy from the neighbors. This is a perfect place to getaway to, on a weekend!
Such a lovely secluded spot. Elevated yurt with sparkling string lights. Felt like I was in a fairy tale! Comfy beds, working kitchenette and outdoor sink. Pristine outhouse! Fire pit with comfy chairs and a hammock!
Loved it!

About the host
Hosted by Amy Parker
Im a Mainer and I enjoy sharing my property with guests that appreciate the beauty in nature and the importance of unwinding in this unique space. Glamping in a yurt is a unique experience and very rewarding:)
Why they chose this property
I grew up in the area and drove past this property daily. It is magical and I'm glad I was able to purchase it. The pictures don't really do it justice. Check it out, you'll see what I mean.
What makes this property unique
I think yurts are special. There is something about a round structure. Also to have a yurt located off the ground up in the trees is very unique.
