The Secluded Glampground In Maine That Will Take You A Million Miles Away From It All

So, you love the Maine outdoors and you gave camping a try. The novelty of the campfire was nice, but in the end there was a lot of sleeping on the ground that didn’t feel much like a vacation. If this sounds like you, we recommend giving glamping a try! This camping/luxury hybrid will bring you out into nature, but still allow you to have a comfortable night’s sleep. If you’re not sure where to begin, consider giving this wonderful yurt a try!

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

This cozy yurt retreat is located on Pleasant Mountain near Denmark, Maine.

The property is quite private with only two yurts to choose from.

The Sunset Yurt sleeps up to three people and includes a composting toilet located nearby, an outdoor fire circle, a picnic table, and a relaxing hammock.

The Mountain Brook Yurt can sleep four people - in a pull out queen futon, a single bed, or a single folding cot.

The yurts come equipped with all the kitchen amenities you'd need for a luxury glamping weekend including, a propane stove, a wood stove, a French press and tea pot, an ice chest, fire wood for your indoor fires, and lamps and lanterns.

This might seem like luxury, but the lack of running water makes it feel like you're roughing it.

But, don't worry! Showers powered by a mix of solar, propane and wood are located nearby for those who'd like an efficient way of getting clean!

Guests can enjoy some wonderful (and private!) hiking trails, a wood-fired sauna, and a yoga/meditation studio for private practice.

One of the more special features of this glamping retreat is the traditional Finnish wood-fired steam bath, located next to spring-fed mountain brook.

If you love the outdoors, but prefer to keep things comfortable this is a great option for a weekend away!

Still a little too rustic for you? Don’t worry! The site also has the “Harmony Eco-Cabin.” Spend time here if you’d like to bring your dog (they’re welcome!) and enjoy some solar-powered electricity and wifi. The yurts can be booked by clicking here and cost about $115 per night.

And, for those of you that prefer the true camping experience, try these beachside options! Or, you might be more interested in these other, more unique overnight options.
