Guests can head to the nearby city of New Haven to take a leisurely stroll around the grounds of the Yale University campus, and on the way out, stop by for nationally renowned wood-fired pizza at Sally's or Pepe's. Nothing will beat the variety of restaurants this city has to offer. Come dinnertime, guests can enjoy anything from Thai food, tacos from Geronimo, or a classic burger and fries from the beloved Shake Shack right on Chapel Street in the heart of downtown. Roaming these streets in the evening is like something out of a fairy tale with twinkling lights along the alleyways, charming storefronts displaying their goods, and an abundance of vibrant and energetic people.

Away from city life, take a boat tour of the Thimble Islands on the Sea Mist and enjoy drinks while listening to the legends of the islands. Glampers should also check out the Hammonasset Beach State Park to embark on a fun hiking trail, a calming bike ride, a memorable birdwatching stroll, or simply relaxing on the beach.
