Come "glamp" with nature at this memorable place in an Airstream spectacular! Filled to the brim with goodies. Wonderful coffee bar to enjoy while sitting on your private deck only steps from the bank of the pond. Amazing outdoor shower. Fish in the stocked pond day or night. No permit needed. Spend the evening cuddled up admiring the starry sky, then off to bed, awaken fresh with sounds of nature. What more could you ask for? Coffee, peace & quiet, wifi if needed. The PINNACLE of glamping!


THE SPACE:

All the extras have been tastefully added to this vintage Airstream. The host offers a superb coffee bar!!!. Comfortable, fluffy bedding, warm rugs... All you can hope for while taking in the fresh air and starry sky with no light pollution. And don't forget smores made by the fire in your Solo firepit.

Please be aware when booking, this is a large Airstream. Space is actually pretty great but be mindful that the bathroom is small. Showering in the bathroom in the Airstream is snug for a small person, HENCE why WE OFFER A PRETTY GREAT OUTSIDE SHOWER WITH LARGE PAN/RAINHEAD. Its a pretty nice experience. This is not your average outside shower. There is also another toilet facility on the property.

Glamping in the catch is a great experience! So peaceful and relaxing in your own little oasis just off of the waters edge.


PLEASE READ FULL LISTING!

There are eight secluded, roomy acres to explore. Large pond with fish to drown your concerns and worries away. Fishing novice or simply looking to try? Ask the host; she enjoys sharing her skill and is passionate about fishing.

There is a Galley/Kitchen with cooktop, microwave, coffee pot, camper size refrigerator w/ freezer, utensils and everything for your cooking needs. With this being said, the oven is extremely small, hence why full size casserole/baking dishes are not offered in the kitchen items. There is a full set of skillets and small pots along with mixing bowls, cutting boards, small baking dish, cookie sheets. Kitchen is set up to promote outdoor cooking, heightening your "glamping" experience. There is a charcoal grill and a few smokers available for use.

We do provide coffee, creamers, tea, and sugar along with spices and cooking oils.

There is a Queen SHORT located in the rear of the Airstream for the master glamping suite. The comfy sofa in the living room converts to a bed that is great for kids. The dinette set also drops down and offers a small sleeping area however, not recommended or suitable for adults due to size. Great for kids. (max height of individual sleeping on converted dinette is four feet)

There is an amazing spa like outdoor shower in the common gathering area, just steps away from the Airstream's resting location. Also a toilet facility near the shower as well.

On the deck you will find comfy furnishings to enjoy with your guests and a picnic table has been placed along the pond bank to enjoy dinner by the water. At the common gathering area you will find an array of rocking chairs, comfy loveseat and chairs with cushions and pillows to rock the day away.

The space is great for stargazing as there is no light pollution what so ever. If you are a bird watcher, the host has been able to identify over 27 bird varieties with the help of Merlin, the ap. Peacefulness abounds here.

Cell service is great here if you must be on the phone.

Be aware there is a very short walk through the lawn to your Airstream experience.
