Wonderful stay! There were Wild Flowers everywhere. It was fun to have the wood burning stove to keep us toasty and warm, although you do have to get up a time or two to add more logs to keep it from going out. The beds were comfy and warm. It was a good mix of camping but still having amenities.

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was a unique experience and we’d definitely recommend it. The only downside was that there’s no A/C, so during the summer it can take a while for the tent to cool down at night. Because of that, I personally wouldn’t stay for more than two nights. Overall, though, we had a great stay and would come back.

If you have never tried camping, or just getting a bit too old for true tent camping, this gives you the feel with the amazing convenience of plumbing and hot water. The only bummer about this location is the long walk to the restaurant on the adjacent property. But that wasn’t enough to spoil our stay. A fun little adventure.

The property and staff were great. The experience was very neat; however, stoves in the tents hold fire for an hour or two at the most so if you don’t add wood all night long, your tent is frigid. For the price, better lasting heat would have been nice.

Staff was excellent. I slept through the night, which doesn't happen often. So bed was very comfortable. The vibe is spot on. I know they have a focus of keeping light pollution down, however other guest may not have the same mindset & kept lights on in tents late making it a little hard to see the night sky. But would highly recommend a stay here.
