This tent is tucked into the trees on the 7 acre property where we live. Our house is out of sight when you're on the campsite. A short walk down a path and you will reach the tent where you will be immersed in the trees.

Since you are in the trees there will always be bugs. Bringing bug spray is a good idea.

If you are staying during the time of year where the temperatures dip below freezing, the water will need to be turned off when temperatures go below freezing. Water will be turned back on once temperatures return to above 32 degrees.

“A great find in Des Moines! This checked all our boxes for serene, relaxing, and unique!” - Cherise
