    Please keep any food items off the floor of the tent and bagged up when possible. This is the woods, so if mice smell food, they'll find a way to it!

  • While we do our best to keep pests at bay, you may still encounter insects or local wildlife, as this is their natural home.

    Thankfully, they’re typically harmless and part of the authentic outdoor experience that makes your stay so special!

  • If you need to take shelter from a storm of any kind while on the property, our bath house is what we use as a storm shelter, hunker down in there if you feel uncomfortable at all and, if it's a severe storm, please share the space with other sheltering guests as needed and able, because we only have 3 rooms in the building

  • For the safety and comfort of all guests, ALL of our structures, including The Birdbath, are NON-SMOKING. Please smoke outside and discard your butts in the buckets or safely in the trash after fully extinguishing them.

    A $100 cleaning fee will be charged if there's any evidence of smoking inside.

  • Every tent has a private fire pit except for Tents 1 and 9.

    All guests are welcome to use the fire pit across the road from the Birdbath. You may also use the firewood stocked at these larger fire pit areas for your own personal fire pits!

    Make sure to bring towels, soap, and anything you'd need to enjoy getting sudsy out in nature.

  • We have intentionally avoided adding wifi to our individual units, seeing this space as an oasis for connection with nature and disconnection from the outside world.

    Should there be an emergency, you will have access to cell service on-site for calls + texting.

    Please reach out to us if you have a desperate need for the internet.
