The yurt is located in Bethel, ME which is a little over an hour from Portland. To get to the yurt take I-95 North to the Gray exit (63) and continue north on route 26. You follow route 26 all the way to Bethel. Once you cross into Bethel the yurt will be on the left hand side after about a mile. Look for two guardrails on either side of the road protecting a small bridge. The driveway is immediately after the guardrail on the left side. Follow the driveway to the right about 500 feet until you see a turnoff to the yurt entrance.
If you are coming from the west you will travel through the town of Bethel, ME on US Route 2 and then merge onto ME-26 south. This road will take you east out of downtown Bethel, past a large farm, sawmill, and self storage units. Once you pass Alder River Self Storage being slowing down and look for two guardrails on either side of the road protecting a small bridge. The driveway is immediately before the guardrail on the right side. Follow the driveway to the right about 500 feet until you see a turnoff to the yurt entrance.
While finding the yurt and parking you'll notice that the yurt is fairly close to the road. If road noise bothers you see the Sleeping page for more info.
Specific for winter months: There is someone who plows and sands the section of the snow machine trail from the road to the yurt entrance. You'll take a left off of Route 26 onto the driveway and continue down the snow machine trail about 500 feet. You'll see the entrance towards the yurt- pull off the snow machine trail just enough so your car won't get hit by any out of control snowmobile but not so far that you park in front of the yurt. It can be icy and without 4WD it's best not to chance getting stuck. Sometimes they groom the snowmobile trail with a large groomer which cannot go around a car; hence why we pull off the trail onto the driveway.
New for Winter 2019/2020 is a backup parking spot as soon as you pull off route 26. This is used for times in which the driveway that leads to the door of the yurt is impassible (typically in a large snowfall winter). This parking spot is ideal for cars without 4WD. Parking here requires you to walk in all of your gear about 1000 feet. Jet sleds are a good tool for making this easier.
