About this property
Furnished Glamping Tent/King Bed/Access to the Red River - Elusive Elk - #1
Experience pure relaxation within the enchanting shelter of a 320 SF Glamping Tent, nestled just a stone's throw from the tranquil waters of the Red River. The Dancing Deer beckons with its fully furnished sanctuary, boasting a king-sized bed, twin trundle bed, smart TV, fan, AC unit, coffee station, minifridge, microwave, internet access, firepit, grill, access to a bath house and an array of amenities. Despite the 10-minute drive to shops and restaurants, the area exudes a sense of serene seclusion.
Welcome to our enchanting glamping experience, where nature meets comfort in a unique canvas setting. As stewards of the great outdoors, we want you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of crisp nights and starlit skies. Please note that our tent is a true canvas structure without insulation, meaning that temperatures inside may reflect the cooler or warmer weather outside. While being canvas, this also means that it is nearly waterproof, however, wind can blow water underneath during bad storms.

Wonderful experience!!! Teepee is the best!!
Amazing, From the moment I booked this precious Teepee to the moment we left everything was perfect. Clean, furnished and comfortable. Everything you need is right there. The bathrooms and shower building is spotless and everything shines! We can’t wait to go back. Thank you for everything!!!!!
We were in teepee #1 away from the river and it was pretty darn cool. I think it was the better location next to the woods and a little more distance away from the other teepee's. I think also not so much direct sunlight. The large fan was GREAT white noise and the site was super clean. It had been raining quite a bit before we arrived, so the humidity was high. It's hard to remove that much moisture with a portable a/c unit, but this thing got the job done. We had a very comfy night. The only downside was a little mildew at the teepee entrance on the exterior, but that wasn't a big deal. Fire pit and hammock approved, nice new decking and grill out area. Pictures on the website are true to reality. Thanks for taking such good care of the property!

A day away.
We reserved this location for a single night. While I was expecting a certain level of glamor being a fully furnished Teepee. I was not expecting how unbelievably comfortable the entire site felt. The wife and I spend a good portion of the day bird watching from the deck. After a day of hiking when it got dark, we were able to set up a telescope and star gaze. This place was far more comfortable than we were expecting. 5 stars doesn't give our experience justice.
