Welcome to the peace and rippling sounds of the North Branch of the Manistee River just outside your decked-out, glamping tent door!

Rippling Bluff is exceptionally charming, but with an extra unique feature, one of the two tents is a Stargazer Stout tent, making this site highly desirable! The Stargazer tent, peak is a window where sleeping under the stars is comfortable, tucked away in your warm and comfy real bed!

The second tent is also a 16-foot Stout tent but without the peak window. Each tent can sleep four people, and the site occupancy is 8. If your party includes more than 8 guests, including children, you must talk to the host prior to booking. PLEASE BE ACCURATE WITH THE AMOUNT OF GUESTS YOU WILL BE BRINGING!

PLEASE BE ACCURATE WITH YOUR GUEST TOTAL.

This site can accommodate up to 8 people. Each tent has one full bed and two comfy cots (outfitted with a cushion, sleeping bag, and pillow). REMEMBER to state your guests accurately.
