Wonderful stay

This was my husband and i’s first time glamping and we loved it. The host Vanessa was so friendly and helpful, and we couldnt of asked for anything more. We especially loved our visit from Jack the dog, who was so friendly and well behaved. The hot tub was lovely, underneath all the lights during the night, the bed was extremely comfortable and there was a lot of activities for us to do. 10/10 will definitely return. I’ve also sent recommendations to friends and family. Thank you again for having us
