Rhonda & Skip take so much pride & care in the accommodations they provide. They go above & beyond to make your stay comfortable and make themselves available to assist with questions or concerns. They think of everything! From the personalized welcome sign to the snacks, handmade soap, family games, and so much more! They literally share a piece of their life in each glamp with their guests. I’d highly recommend this property if you are looking for a high quality glamping experience.

Everything was perfect. We loved the relaxing atmosphere and beautiful, private view. There were so many personal touches from snacks and waters to goat milk soap that is sold locally. We loved how everything was decorated. It’s a wonderful place to stay!

This place is Heaven on earth. It seems as if it is in the middle of nowhere but is actually a short drive to a myriad of restaurants and entertainment. The owners are delightful and attended to any need instantly. The creek and surrounding area is beautiful.

Moondance was perfect - cozy in a wonderful secluded setting. Several thoughtful touches, including scented goat milk soap and coffee beans to be freshly ground. Would have loved to spend time down at/in the river, but unfortunately, a busy schedule didn't allow for that this time. We definitely plan to return - next time for a longer weekend.
