Dark Sky TIPI *GLAMPING* on private 30ac property
*Managed by Chris and Katie - AirBnB superhosts - see our many positive reviews.*
Dark Sky Tipi is glamping at its finest!! Our tipi is 22 feet in diameter with a cozy queen size bed and 2 futons ***the bathroom is NOT ensuite - it is located 50ft from this cabin and shared with other guests if present - see below and photos***.
We provide microwave, Keurig style coffee maker with 6 K cups. and mini fridge w/freezer. Wifi and smart TV w/roku (need own streaming account). Outside is a private patio with picnic table, chairs and hammock. Luxury bathroom is shared with one other rental - Explorers Hideout.
**Book with our other rental - 'Explorers Hideout' - for extra space or a truly unique and private getaway. Explorers Hideout sleeps 4ppl and is located just 100ft away from this tipi so it's perfect for additional friends, family or big kids.**
Outdoor kitchen available with your stay. Shared with guests of The Explorer’s Hideout. Includes sink, electric hot plate, electric griddle, pots, pans, toaster and cooking utensils. We provide plastic cups, bowls, plate and an assortment of utensils.
During colder months, water to outdoor kitchen may be off during your stay. We leave water there to wash dishes.
***Shared Bathhouse with luxury oversized shower has two separate heads. One rain head from the ceiling and one rain head on the wall. The on demand water heater ensures endless hot water. Shared with guests of the Explorer’s Hideout Cabin. Heater in bathhouse and AC during the warmer months. **We refresh the bathhouse with every check out as well as leave disinfectant spray and cleaning supplies.**
We recommend not just staying to sleep! Utilize the property and explore!! Your nightly rate includes a stay in this unique space and access to almost 30 acres. We try to keep our rates competitive, if not lower than something similar in the Big Bend Region.
**************************************
If you’re not used to desert camping, we recommend booking one of our other vacation rentals during the hot summer months. At the tipi, we provide 1-2 tower fans to keep it cooler inside. Although it is much cooler than a tent would be, it is still warmer than the outside in the summer, during the day. Because we are located at 5,250 ft in elevation, we typically cool to around 60-65° at night. Great for sleeping!! This can vary. Check weather forecast before booking.
CHECK WEATHER FORECAST BEFORE YOU ARRIVE. PACK WARM CLOTHING and EXTRA BLANKETS, IF NEEDED. During the colder months: one heated mattress pad on queen bed, 2 electric blankets, 1 electric fireplace and 1 tower heaters are available in tipi. Be sure to bring warm clothing and additional blankets during colder months, as needed.
***We look forward to welcoming you to Cottonwood Creek Cabins secluded 30acres with private trails and open dark skies - best comfort and value for a truly unforgettable visit to Big Bend*
