Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

It started years ago my sister and I stayed in a yurt at a campground in Oregon. That was it. I was hooked so I got one. There is something magical about staying in a round structure in the trees. My love of nature and comfort drove me to create this special place to be able to share it with others. My TreeYurt is a platform built high in the trees so it essentially like a treehouse but with a yurt instead. It is located in the back part of my property surrounded by woods. In the spring there is a small stream running nearby and soon to come a bridge over to the fairy village. The land is somewhat sloped yet comfortable. There are apple orchards nearby and many hiking trails a short distance away as well as Portland a mere 15 minutes. The kitchenette has a small fridge a coffee maker a cook top with two burners pots pans utensils and kitchen towels as well a propane grill outside. There is a wood stove for heating in the winter as well as a monitor heater that makes it very cozy for chilly nights. The yurt is insulated so it is a great year round glamping adventure. I provide fire wood for the wood stove inside but the camp fire wood for the outdoor fire pit is $5 per bundle. The outhouse has a dry flush toilet and instructions at located in the yurt and out house. There is no running water although recently added an outdoor sink for the warmer months is available for use for dishwashing and a bit of cleaning up. I provide gallons of drinking water and dishwashing water for the colder months inside the yurt with dish tubs sponges and soap.My TreeYurt sits on a platform built high in the trees so it essentially like a treehouse but with a yurt instead. This glamping spot is located in the back part of my property surrounded by woods. In the spring there is a small stream running nearby. In the winter this glamping spot is fully insulated and heated with a wood stove and monitor heater. The land is somewhat sloped yet comfortable and in the summer time enjoy the outdoor fire pit area. The Tree Yurt is quite literally a yurt in the trees. Surrounded by nature, this is YEAR ROUND glamping close to Portland. -New spring 2024 an outdoor SOLAR shower- Water for the outdoor shower and outdoor sink is seasonal Typically May through October. Please BYOT. Bring your own bath towels. A main house sits closer to the driveway and There is a chance the house and the yurt will be rented out at the same time. The yurt is about 200 feet from the house and the only shared space is the driveway, so it is actually very private. There are apple orchards nearby and many hiking trails a short distance away as well as Portland or Freeport a mere 15 minutes. If you’re a skier or snowboarder Pleasant Mt is only 40 minutes away.

We loved staying in Amy’s tree yurt! It was such a unique experience in a lovely wooded area. Amy was a great host, attentive, and proactive. We hope to stay there again the next time we are in Maine!

Beautiful yurt in the forest

I recently had the pleasure of staying here, and it was a delightful experience! The yurt was super cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything one might need. The location was wonderfully private, nestled in the forest, which made it feel quite enchanting. Highly recommend for a unique getaway!

Fu glamping up in the trees

With pets

Very peaceful surroundings. A fun “glamping” experience. The host was super responsive throughout. Would definitely recommend!

Comfy, Cozy, and Rejuvenating Stay

We loved Amy's Tree Yurt! The yurt itself was adorable, clean, and well-stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The wood stove, warm bedding, and beautiful skylight made it a very cozy getaway, even on a colder rainy night. We also enjoyed grilling and making a campfire in the space out back on a nicer night.
