1896 Historic Glamping Bungalow
Built in 1896, this bungalow offers glamping comfort without the tent.
Think: real beds, full kitchen, and vintage charm.

Climate: No central AC/heat. Cooling provided by: window AC unit in master bedroom, portable AC unit in living room, and 3 additional box fans. Heating provided by space heaters.

The original high ceilings are gorgeous but take extra effort to cool — we supply the fans to keep air moving.

This historic home feels different than modern construction. Best for guests who love character over cookie-cutter.
Historic home, glamping at its finest.

Fun fact(s):
*Home built in 1896 before
electricity came to the area in the 1950's.
Our home prides in providing the nostalgia of that era with some modern amenities.
*Vacation platforms like vrbo and others
have multiple listings that provide a "No AC" experience.
