Escape to Authentic Seacoast’s Yurts in the Vineyard for a 2-night retreat by the ocean! Nestle into your cozy Yurt for two, secluded within our oceanside vineyard. You’ve arrived in perfect time for sunny weather. Spend the day biking, hiking or kayaking—and enjoying the wildlife like otters, foxes, deer, eagles +more! Then cool off with a splash in Mussel Cove and lay on the private dock.

When you’re ready to heat things up a bit, relax in total bliss with a private sauna session, overlooking a pond surrounded by spruce. Head back to your Yurt to change and and fire up your BBQ to enjoy a meal on your private deck with the sparkling Atlantic as your backdrop. Kick back at our distillery & brewery in the afternoon, sipping refreshing sample paddles of our fine spirits and craft beer, at our tasting bar or outdoor patio. Round out the day soaking in your private wood-fired hot tub or cuddled up by the bonfire with your Valentine, under a blanket of crystal clear stars! The power of time in nature is undeniable. We hope you leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, more in love and connected than ever!
