Guest access
GUEST ACCESS

*vast, open and lush green -- entire site surrounded by beautiful grass
*each tent has its own private deck with Fermob outdoor furniture along with barbecue and campfire pits
*on-site eco-friendly vegetable field -- pick your own fresh veggies for dinner!

***Please note***
At the end of the day, our structures are tents made of fabric and sound proofing would be technically difficult to attain for any tent. We strive to maintain the allure and romance of camping out in nature, so please do keep in mind that it is camping after all whereby the thinnest possible barrier (and not concrete walls) separates private indoor space and nature. There will be animal noises late in the night and there will be insects during the warmer season -- this is the gift of nature and we hope you enjoy what is revealed out in the wilderness.
