Although they were a little shorthanded when we were there, the staff went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly for us. The gentleman who made us breakfast was not only a great cook, but was super friendly. This is a great spot to stay, and in this small town is worth supporting

The place is very unique located in a very interesting small town. Check in was quick and easy, staff was very welcoming and friendly. A very good freshly cooked breakfast was served, an unexpected treat. The glamping dome was much roomier than I expected. Very comfortable, it did rain the night we were there so the viewing was not the best but the sleep was excellent.
