We have a 200-acre property in St. Clair MO that has been in our family for over 50 years. We have hosted weddings since 2013 and added glamping in 2018 and have since added five units and plan to add another 3-5 units in the next four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our land is the ultimate summer camp experience! We offer a 15-acre lake at our &#8220;beach&#8221; area with complimentary canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards. It also has Meramec river access, and hiking trails, and is overall an amazing getaway in nature with all the comforts of home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Glamping-Hub-Glamping-and-wedding-resort-in-Missouri.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14828 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Glamping-Hub-Glamping-and-wedding-resort-in-Missouri.png 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Glamping-Hub-Glamping-and-wedding-resort-in-Missouri-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Glamping-Hub-Glamping-and-wedding-resort-in-Missouri-337x190.png 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-attracted-you-to-owning-a-glamping-property\">What attracted you to owning a glamping property?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before adding our variety of glamping options, guests could only experience our land through formal events like weddings. It was important to us to offer overnight accommodations so people could experience this type of vacation. From this, we\u2019ve now expanded from a family farm and wedding venue to a glamping resort that hosts weddings, elopements, parties, glamping stays, retreats, festivals, and our annual Grove Of Lights Holiday Experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our land and nature, in general, are too special and wonderful not to share. We consider it our privilege and our responsibility to give back to our community in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Host-of-the-Month-for-June-2022-Team-at-glamping-resort-in-Missouri.png\" alt=\"Glamping Hub's Host of the Month for June 2022: Samantha &amp; team at their glamping resort in Missouri. \" class=\"wp-image-14787 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Host-of-the-Month-for-June-2022-Team-at-glamping-resort-in-Missouri.png 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Host-of-the-Month-for-June-2022-Team-at-glamping-resort-in-Missouri-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Host-of-the-Month-for-June-2022-Team-at-glamping-resort-in-Missouri-337x190.png 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-every-glamping-site-has-a-special-story-could-you-tell-us-about-yours\">Every glamping site has a special story, could you tell us about yours?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our story is special because it is a continuation of a bigger story. My father bought this land in the mid-1960s with his parents. He worked to cultivate it for half a century, created our 15-acre lake, planted our walnut grove, developed hiking trails, and maintained the beauty of our farm for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am the middle child of all his kids and the only female &#8211; I saw the love that went into our land and from a young age, knew that I could continue my father&#8217;s work and build something that would fulfill its full potential. When I was 24 years old, we developed a wedding venue business and worked for years to enhance this aspect of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our site attracts really wonderful people with similar values to us, so when we started growing at a rapid pace by adding glamping to our business, we had to trust people to come in and help us. We are so thankful we did, because they have continued to show up, wow us, and have EPIC ideas of their own. The team we have built inside our business is just as special as the land itself and we are so thankful for them. Teamwork makes the dream work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vintage-Camper-Van-Glamping-Resort-in-Missouri.png\" alt=\"Romantic Vintage VW campervan at glamping resort in Missouri.
