Or show your loved ones what NIRVANA should look like. Great year-round for a vacation or one night's escape. The FULLY-EQUIPPED tipi is tucked into the woods, yet only minutes from the hwy. Stars, the smell of a cedar fire (FREE FIREWOOD), crisp sheets, a warm shower, soap & towels, candles & bottle of wine are just bonuses assuring you won't be roughing it. Mystic. Calming. Bring yourself & we'll provide the rest. The most unique private lodging in the area is filled with personal touches and serves as a great base for romantics, hikers, bikers, divers, bird watchers, winers and diners wanting to explore the natural beauty of the Ozarks. The tipi is furnished with two queen-size beds, with two additional twin-size cots. Toiletries, towels, pure cotton bedding and lots of pillows provided, as well as an assortment of fresh teas, coffees, grill & utensils, hammock, propane or wood fire rings, books, games, local maps, brochures and travel tips are also supplied. In the winter we provide a heat source or two, with a fan in the summer. The tipi is tucked away in the woods on a 16 acre property where secluded forests envelope the maintained grounds. You will have plenty of solitude and space to hang your headdress, with a grill to cook the day's catch (or the butcher's steak) and a hammock waiting to be swung. Yes, it's true, we supply free firewood, and marshmallows as well. Plenty of shaded parking available, with enough space for a trailer. We would like to point out that tipis were designed for use on the sunny, open plains. Since ours is in the shady woods, it will darken with age due to the acid from the trees, and because it doesn't receive the constant supply of sunlight needed to bleach them, like in the old westerns. Guests are welcome to use the glider by our garden to catch the Wi-Fi. They are also welcome to utilize the fridge in the laundry room and to escape from inclement weather in the sunroom adjoining their bathhouse. We also offer additional services such as access to the hot tub or fitness and spa, (European standards apply), professional massages, instructional courses, intimate wedding services, vow renewal, etc... all for additional fees. These services are for the comfort and convenience of our guests, who are under no obligation to partake. Our guests value their privacy, so we adjust our interaction to meet their needs. We are always available by phone, text or email. The tipi is in use all year but bear in mind that temperature appropriate clothing is required. Don't show up in winter wearing shorts and expect to be comfortable as it won't happen. Long underwear, caps, gloves and warm jackets are mandatory. To insure no one ever goes hungry, we offer meal services as well. The meals we provide on request are not exactly cheap as the price covers visiting various local farms, fetching organic ingredients, carefully preparing food and serving it warm to the doorstep or bed of the tipi, at any time you like. But we promise our meals won't only fill the stomachs, without exception people remember them as some of their best dining experiences. Well-behaved, housebroken, groomed, crated pets or those with their own bed are welcome, but are NOT to be on any furniture at any time. They're welcome to experience freedom, exploring the surrounding woods, fields and creek. If you can't trust your dog off-leash, don't bring it. If your dog can’t be a good guest, you both will be asked to leave. Our dog has been attacked by visiting pets and it won’t happen again. $65/pet/stay (payable on arrival) to ensure the comfort of our pet-allergic guests. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage - Pool - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Free firewood - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Fan - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: No smoking inside Tipi or buildings, otherwise ok. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Bicycles - Golf - Gym - Kayak - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27120000/27117600/27117570/7f62725f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 🔝❤️ PEACEFUL TREETOP COTTAGE Park Hills - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 50 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-03&endDate=2026-01-04&selected=27117570&PinnedHotelID=27117570&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105760000/105753800/105753710/3182427b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Amazing Views, Unique Tee Pee Camping.

The additional 5 canine hosts were adorable and Mici I'm so sorry you didn't spend at least one night with us! I wish we would have been able to stay longer than 2 nights. The teepee is an awesome experience to those who love nature and serenity. Thanks to both our host and hostess we had the best of times! ##### Cindy B.

Keith and Benka are very thoughtful and detail oriented. The tipi is great, comfortable and homey. Being a dog-friendly property made this a perfect place for me. The homemade bread and cinnamon coffee were wonderful. A very pleasant surprise to find after our day of sightseeing. Take the time to wander the trails on their property and take in the scenery. Beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend the Tipi adventure. Keith was a great host II hope to meet Benka on my next trip! 5 stars!!! :) ##### Wendy L.

Keith’s welcome tour was very helpful and made us feel at home right away. The tipi was warm at night and it is designed and arranged so well that we stayed dry even in the rain. Keith and Benka made everything easily accessible and placed thoughtful touches all around. We both booked a massage with Benka and it was the absolute best! We made good use of the beautiful community space and everything was very easy to find and use. The bathroom and shower house was clean and cozy. We are already talking about planning our next visit!!! Thank you Keith and Benka for being such wonderful hosts! Carrie & Jess ##### Carrie M.

We will never forget our time at the tipi! Keith and Benka are wonderful hosts and have thought of everything a guest might need for a pleasant and comfortable stay. The rainy weather somehow made the cozy tipi and spa that much more wonderful. The place is clean, well-maintained and has so many creative and beautiful touches. You will love it! ##### Gina S.

The kids had no end to their creative natural play and exploration! I loved the Tibetan sound bowls, spa experience, and walking through the woods! We will be back! The kids would have never left! ;). Thanks!! ##### Kristy H.

The meaning of the word GetAway is really described and felt staying at Keith & Benka’s property—quiet, real nature and kindness of the host was wonderful! Our family will always remember the Tipi stay experience. We did it at the right time—perfect weather and no traffic or crowd at all in Elephant Rock state park which is also perfect staying at Keith & Benka. Thank you for the warm and friendly welcome. We will sure come back and we have been sharing it to most of our friends and families to try and visit the place of Keith & Benka. ##### Benita D.

The attention to detail with the space and all the little extras that Keith and Benka have put into the property made for an enjoyable weekend. A great place to relax and unwind. ##### Beth M.
