Did a last minute weekend booking. Very easy online with email confirmation. Eagles Nest cabin had all we needed except chairs for the fold out table. However, there was bar stools available. The kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms had all needed linens and the bathroom even had air freshener! Will be back for sure

Great place to stay and relax with the family. Cabin was very clean , comfortable, and had every amenity needed. Everyone who worked there was so nice and helpful. We also enjoyed the ropes course. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The “glamming tipis” get 3 stars as accommodations, and 1 Star for the management. The Dreamcatcher tipi was lovely and well designed, with a nice area for the family to hangout, a cute set of bunk beds for the kids downstairs and a sleeping lift for the parents. Very cozy and peaceful. In general, a great place for a family getaway. The negatives: there was a fair amount of road noise. It was freezing in the tipi at night. Granted, when we stayed, the temperatures at night were well below freezing at night. But the heating setup was inadequate and bedding was not warm enough for really cold weather (no down comforters and only 1 substantial extra blanket, which they really need). Fortunately, we had long underwear and wool socks. But, this was not what I expect when the accommodations are advertised as “heated”. More concerning, most of the heat was provided by space heater, some with open heating coils. But we could not find any smoke detectors (or CO2 detectors) near the beds, where you put the space heaters at night. It’s only a matter of time before a space heater tips over or is too close to a bed and there is a fire. The management was a disaster. They just leave the tipis unlocked and expect you to find your own and settle in. But without a map, we were going from tipi to tipi trying to figure it out which was ours. It is completely self checkin. There was no key to the door in our tipi. The management never answered the phone when I called. But when I texted, she said it was safe, and to leave the tipi unlocked. Which made us nervous, with our personal possessions inside. The next day, my family went to explore and I took a nap. Unlocked door, because no key. 2 strangers, including a strange man, walked in and woke me up and said I was in “their” tipi. I showed them my invoice and told them they probably had the wrong tipi, but they insisted not. They went and found a staff member to evict me, and she also said I should not be there— despite my showing her the invoice indicating that I was in the right tipi and confirmed/ paid through the following day. When I refused to pack up and leave (standing in my PJs in the bitter cold), she mad some phone calls and discovered that the couple had walked into the wrong tipi. Why did the staff member not check this as the very first thing? The staff member shrugged, told me this wasn’t her fault because she didn’t handle bookings, and left. Okay then. I had expected the management would contact us to apologize, explain and deal with the mixup in a professional manner, perhaps offer to comp a portion of our trip, a meal,etc., but she did not. When I tried to call, no answer. When I texted her that evening, she said that she was out of town, and expected guests and staff to let her know if there was a problem. Which no one had. So— not her fault either. Apparently, it was no ones fault, because no one ever took responsibility. No one from the owners or management ever spoke to me/is personally Again— no one helping guests check in, tipis unlocked (ours with no key to lock the door after arrival) and a strange man waking me up from a nap and telling me to leave. This predictable and preventable, given the checkin set up. But still freaked me out, since I am a woman and was alone in a rural area at the the time. And the management just did not seem to care. Also, they are doing construction on the premises, so we were all woken up by a chainsaw very near our tipi before 8 am the first day. And the noise continued for most of the morning. Not exactly the lazy, relaxing morning I had planned. We would love to come back for the facilities (not in the winter, once they have smoke and CO2 detectors) and would normally recommend this to all of our friends as a great long weekend, fall break getaway. But not unless and until they get new management. And NOT in the winter.

We wanted a unique memorable experience for our family. Our four kids all had fun and we did too. We took advantage of a teacher workday backed up to voting day to have our adventure. They had obstacles and zip lines for all of our interests and we didn’t have to worry about capturing the experience because they had a photography service. We loved tipi because half the family wants to rough camp and the others want five star accommodations. They provided all the camping items and the accommodations were georgeous with beautiful craftsmanship in the tipi.
