We find it is better to properly set the expectations for everyone before they come Glamping. You will have a very comfortable bed with proper linens. You will have places to sit, places to eat, and places to charge your phone. You will still be able to wake up and have a fresh cup of coffee from a Kuerig Coffee Maker.

We do provide heaters in the winter and air conditioners in the summer, but remember this is a tent with a canvas exterior. The heating and cooling will be just enough to take the edge off, but will not have the same effect of a home. In the summer months, we recommend keeping the doors and windows closed during the day and the canvas doors open at night to let the summer breeze in. In colder weather, it is imporant to bring warm clothing.

Most Importantly, you will have a chance to re-imagine the world around you as you make special memories with family and friends.

We love our furry Glampers! Just add the pet fee for each pet in the add on section at check out or send us an email letting us know ahead of time and we will get that added.

We just ask that you do not leave your pet alone in the tents at any time unless properly crated. You are financially responsible for any damage that is done to our accomodations by your pets.

Sometimes it rains. All of our tents are waterproof and have additional rain guards to ensure you still have an enjoyable experience. In fact, we have been told by guests that experiencing rain in our glamping tents is a great experience.

We do not cancel reservations due to rain, thunderstorms, or illnesses.
