Frost Mountain Yurts

- 56 Farnsworth Rd, Brownfield, ME 04010

For Mainers seeking an authentic, year-round escape into the beautiful Western Maine wilderness without sacrificing comfort,

Frost Mountain Yurts

offers a truly unique and cozy solution. Located in Brownfield, ME, this facility redefines 'glamping' by providing fully furnished, eco-friendly, and secluded yurts nestled within 57 acres of private, wooded land. It’s an ideal spot for families, couples, and small groups looking to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the natural splendor of the region.

The experience here is intentionally off-grid—the yurts are not equipped with electricity or running water, fostering a genuine backcountry feel. However, they are far from primitive. As one excited customer noted about the Oaks Yurt, "The site is well appointed and perfectly laid out, and the yurt itself is immaculate. Not a thing was missing and it is well equipped with all the necessities and even extras, like games and candles." The warmth and coziness are maintained year-round, thanks to efficient wood-burning stoves, which allow visitors to be "super cozy with the wood stove," even when the foliage is down and the temperatures drop.

Frost Mountain Yurts

operates year-round, offering distinct seasonal adventures, from summer hiking and swimming to winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing right from your doorstep. The dedication to comfort and cleanliness, exemplified by the "pristinely kept and super clean" outhouses, ensures a relaxing and worry-free stay, giving guests the best of both rustic simplicity and essential comforts.

The physical address is 56 Farnsworth Rd, Brownfield, ME 04010, USA. While the location feels wonderfully private and secluded—each of the several yurts is nestled in its own private setting—it remains highly accessible. It is just a short drive south of the village of Fryeburg and provides easy access to Route 302, a major artery connecting Maine to the amenities of North Conway, New Hampshire. This unique position allows Mainers to enjoy the peaceful solitude of their own state's western woods while still being close to shopping, dining, and other valley attractions.

Access to the yurts themselves is part of the charm and the adventure. Upon arrival, campers park in the check-in area and walk a short distance—ranging from 1/10th of a mile to just under a half-mile, depending on the specific yurt—into the peaceful woods. Pack sleds and carts are available to help transport your gear, ensuring the hike-in process is manageable for all guests. The location truly offers an excursion into the back woods, with easy trails leading right from the yurts.
