The area is SO beautiful and the host, Don, is very kind. My family thought the teepee was fun. Being able to warm up with a fire before bed and right when we woke up was very nice. We ended up having to leave early, because my two year old was having a tough time after missing his nap, and we didn't want to disturb the other guests. Don was super nice about it though.
This was my son's first time camping outside our backyard. The tipi blew his mind. We enjoyed sitting around the "fire" inside and keeping toasty until bed. Pros: Gas BBQ grill and picnic table; not far to parking; en suite gas fireplace with camp chairs; reasonably comfy queen bed with some bedding provided (as Don told me, bring a sleeping bag); wifi helped us stream music in the tipi--definitely an appreciated twist on camping. Cons: Walking to the crapper at night (if you must) can be interesting; be mindful if there are dogs about.; dusk to dawn light nearby. I'd recommend this sit…
Don and his Tipi were a great experience! He took our booking last minute and was so gracious as to help us start a fire and show us the site. It was 9°F at night and we were still warm and comfortable in the tipi. The stars were spectacular and so was the Mountain View we woke up to! We would definitely stay here again when we are in town next!
Don was a gracious and informative host. His property is in a great location and the Teepee was super fun. The gas fire pit in the tent kept us warm through the cold night. I would definitely recommend a stay here.
Don met us as we pulled into the pine forest. The Tipi sits behind the house and is along a small pond. The propane fire in the tipi kept us cozy all night (30 degrees) and the propane grill provided made making dinner and breakfast easy. They also had a hose for cleaning up pans. In the morning a couple moose walked right through where I was brewing coffee. We loved the experience!
