Can’t say enough great things about our experience. We biked, hiked and had dinner and cocktails by the fire each night. The place was clean, neat and exceeded our expectations. Going back in the fall of 2020.

Enjoyed our first glamping experience! Nice amenities and great access to hiking trails. It was great to walk down to the lake to cool off after a long day of hiking.

We had an absolutely marvelous time at your beautiful park. Our 'glamp-site' was so much nicer than expected. This was our first glamping experience and were very impressed with what you've accomplished in your first year. The only suggestion we would make is to provide coffee and coffee cups for the coffee maker in our yurt. As it was, we had to make the several mile drive to the nearest grocery store to purchase these items.
Keep up the fantastic work. We hope to back in your area again someday, and we will be sure to come to your park to glamp!

I have never been camping in my life, so thought glamping would be a good way to ease into it. Got to the site late, drove in through the gate, but there was no one there to check us in. Drove to our campsite in the pitch black darkness, felt slightly unsafe at that point, but made it to our tent. Tent was spacious and warm, unfortunately there were insects everywhere including on the walls of the tent and inside the pillowcases. It was difficult to see in the dark with just one small lamp provided, but unsettling enough that we didn’t want to sleep in the tent for fear that a beetle or spider would crawl on our faces. Understandably there will be insects as we are outdoors, but the pillowcases should have been zipped up. Ended up sleeping in the car and driving out the next morning. Also unfortunately we were not reimbursed for the second night we didn’t end up staying there. When I called, the staff member stated she saw our reservation and that the status said we hadn’t even checked in yet, but that’s because there was no one to check us in at that time. We drove inside ourselves through an unlocked gate, which now that I think about in hindsight, is completely unsafe and a little unprofessional. Glad I didn’t spend a second night there due to that. Huge disappointment overall for a trip we planned for months and wanted to experience camping for the first (and now last) time. There is also no wifi or cell phone service, so if there was an emergency or you need to reach the camp staff, good luck.

General
- Limit 6 people and 2 passenger vehicles (no trailers or travel trailers) at each site. Read site dimensions and driveway dimension carefully as some sites may only accomodate a single vehicle.
- This site does not allow for an additional camping unit. There is not enough room to accomodate personal trailers, pop-ups, RV units, or 5th wheels. Any person arriving with a reservation for a glamping site hauling aforementioned equipment will be asked to park the equipment off site for the duration of their stay.

- The power units have approximately 1000Wh (12.0V, 1,000Ah). They are excellent for recharging phones, laptops, and tablets, illuminating small lights, etc. They are not intended for heavy uses of heaters, large fans, cooking equipment or other heavy electronics. Units cannot be recharged quickly (once the power unit is drained it takes 18 hours to re-charge), so guests should use the power available conservatively. Charge times for various devices are located on the units and if damage or impairment of the normal operation of the unit occurs guests will be liable.
- Due to the natural outdoor environment and the fabrics and canvas of the tent, as well as comfort for future guests, we do not allow smoking inside the tent or on the tent porch. Please also be considerate and remove dirty/muddy shoes or boots on the tent porch.
