This was an unforgettable 33rd anniversary for us. The Tipi was everything we hoped for. Clean, private and quiet. The host critters are very friendly and lovable. Definitely worth a second stay.

This place was absolutely amazing! We rented this tipi for my birthday and this experience stay did not disappoint. It was quiet, comfortable and so peaceful. The bed is pretty comfy, you have everything you need and as long as you’re ok with cooking on a grill and griddle, making food isn’t an issue. The host was laid back and helpful. 10/10 highly recommend!

The entire process was effortless for me. Mark and Jamie made sure everything I would need was readily available. It was the peace and quiet I was searching for. Mornings around the fire pit featured a daily visit from a hummingbird, so if you hear a loud buzz, please don't slap at it!! I had a beautiful long weekend.Thank you!

The teepee was more than we expected! I 100% "overpacked" as they had every amenity one could think of. The weather was 85 plus humidity and everything was unbelievably comfortable. We are planning our next trip and for a little longer. Absolutely beautiful and most importantly so cozy! I recommend 10 out of 10 and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Thank you to Marc and Jamie the setting and teepee is really something special

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!

We loved our experience and stay at the Tipi! Mark greeted us shortly after we arrived to make sure we were happy with everything. TAside from its beautiful setting, the property was fully stocked with everything you could think of. Never once did we wish for something that was not there.
