WILD ANIMALS - There is something wondrous about hearing coyotes howl at night. Glamping, like camping, is all about being outside and enjoying the outdoors.

Stargazing - Bring a telescope if you have one as the night sky is one of the best features of this property! No obstructions so you will have clear views of the brilliant sky. We recommend downloading The SkyView Lite app and The Moon app. This will help you determine a full night of stars or the moon cycle (weather permitting).

There is usually highway noise but around 11pm, it slows down.
