My fiancé and I rented the glamping tent for our anniversary! We fell in love with the scenery, the VIEW of the stars! and our neighbours were so nice! Had we had more time there, I’m sure we would have become friends! The hammocks were incredibly comfy and we thoroughly enjoyed the visits from the local wildlife at the park! We’ll definitely be back  :)

The lakeside tiny home was immaculate, pristine clean with everything you need . The space was organized well and very comfortable. We really appreciated the outside BBQ and fire pit . We spend lots of time swinging in hammocks , looking at the greenery and small lake . Area was quiet , with lots of farms around , and 2 friendly cows came visit us in the morning.

Heather Gillette

Very clean, peaceful and safe location. We felt right at home in Richard’s place and he provided everything we needed for the long weekend. Fred and Tyson were a nice bonus and we enjoyed feeding them. Our dogs loved the freedom of the big yard. We had a small issue with the A/C the first night and Richard showed up immediately and it was addressed first thing in the morning. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend the place to others.
