The space
Relaxing Glamping Retreat (off grid) – Private Beach, Forest Escape, Central Cabana, Covered Gazebo & Sauna Access
Experience effortless glamping in nature's embrace.
Nestled in a serene forest setting, this cozy retreat features TWO separate loft bunkie cabins (you have access to both), each with a queen-size mattress in the upper loft, plus a small leather futon on the main level and Japanese floor mattress. A modular fold-out dining table and chairs offer flexible indoor dining or workspace options.
Bunkie lofts are high up with access by sturdy wooden ladder (if you have mobility issues, it is not suitable). There are small leather futons and Japanese floor mattress, extra bedding on the main floor of the bunkie as a sleeping option.
Bunkies are located on top a hill at an elevation. You can park at the top of the hill near the bunkies or on the beach front landing below down a gravel road.
Off-grid comfort with eco-conscious touches:
• Refresh in the outdoor shower (with hot and cold water)
• Use the eco-friendly incinerating toilet and composting toilet and handwashing stations
• Stay cozy with clean linens, blankets, and towels provided (including dog towels upon request)
• LED lanterns, solar lights and flashlights, and recharge with a solar panel + 12V power pack
• Rain barrel with water for washing dishes
Camp cooking made easy:
Cabana with prep area and storage! Enjoy access to a BBQ grill, propane stoves, cooking utensils, dishes, coolers, and complimentary coffee, tea, cooking oils, basic spices.
Relax, gather & play:
New covered gazebo with bug netting-a screened-in spot to lounge, dine, or wait out a passing shower in comfort. Sink into the sitting area to unwind, or rally your crew for a game on the foosball table.
