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.

Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and unique This was just a unique experience! I’ve never stayed in a tipi so it was something new and exciting. I felt safe in the area and there was a lock that you could loop around the door so make sure no one could get in. ##### Talle D. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle E. Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Vacay We choose the tipi for the experience and how fun it looked. 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.
