Why some people might say a simple accommodation can’t push you into travelling to another state, we say they have never searched for yurt rentals in Maine? These yurts where you can stay close to the state’s fantastic nature usually boast impressive views.
If you are looking for some amazing and unique places to stay in Maine, and are not into hotels, here are some yurts you can rent right away for a unique glamping getaway – most are ideal for an unforgettable sunrise, or sunset if you’re not the early riser type.
A yurt is the best of what would come out of a merge between a tiny house, a hut, and a tent. These structures are common in central Asia, especially in Mongolia, where people use them to keep safe from windy, cold nights. Being a favorite for nomadic cultures, it is only logical that travellers love to stay in a yurt during their travels anywhere on earth.
Here are our handpicked choice of 15 incredible yurts you will love while exploring the gorgeous state of Maine!
