This was an excellent quiet getaway that added to our Glacier experience. It was so peaceful and nice to sit out and watch the deer play with the mountains as a backdrop.

A very out in nature experence. Our 2 grandchildren, 10 & 15 loved sleeping in a tipi, but it's not for those who don't like bugs or need to shower every day. Bring a flaslight, t's a dark walk to the bathroom. It was exactly what was expected at that price. So glad we we had this experience with our grandchildren!

Tipi stay

Novel way to camp. Beds and linens provided. Bathroom and wash up sink. Didn’t take showers— don’t remember if listed. Didn’t see one. Stayed warm and dry in spite of thunder showers and wind. Would do again.

A single outlet to be able to charge phone would be nice especially since there is no lighting option in the tipi besides our cell phone flashlight. We didn't think to bring an actual flashlight or lantern.

Staying in a tipi was a rare and fun experience. The host was more than kind and welcoming and though the accommodations were rustic, that was what added to the charm. It was a delightful stay in a quiet safe area.

Sin loved the tipee experience!

Lee, the owner, was terrific and helpful. We stayed in the main house (see review) and rented two of the tipees for my son and his friend. They loved the setting and the outside shower.
