ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!Loved EVERYTHING about this stay. I will be back a couple times a year…if not more. Showering in the moonlight, to cooking outside in the cast iron skillet, everything was perfect. The animals around the teepee were such a nice touch. The goats were so friendly. Perfect for all you leaf peepers.

Perfect couples getaway!

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We wanted something fun and memorable, and this was perfect! The hosts were very welcoming and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The Teepee was very clean. We enjoyed the grill and firepit. Location was private and relaxing. We will definitely be back!

Weekend stay

Stayed at the Tipi for two nights while I was in Vienna for Tunnel Hill 100. The bed was comfortable and the Tipi was warm and comfortable.The heated blanket was a definite plus! The outdoor campfire area and walkway was lit with string lights giving it a cozy feel. Host was extremely friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again if in the area!
