Was a very cool morning and that woke us up earlier than usual. But we got a head start on the sites so that’s a win for us. Cute tipi with everything you need. We didn’t have an option for heat but that’s okay. We still enjoyed every minute. ##### Lisa A.

There was great communication between the owner and myself. The set with the private bathrooms and available washer and drier was amazing! The nights were pretty chilly but there was an amazing fleece comforter on the bed. It was the best experience. Our six year old loved being able to run around and roast marshmallows over an open fire. We would definately book again! ##### Danielle E.
