The safari-inspired canvas tents are designed for ultimate comfort, featuring king-size beds, cozy gas fireplaces, and private ensuite bathrooms with hot pull-chain showers, sinks, and flushing toilets. Every detail is carefully considered to create a truly relaxing and indulgent experience.
Beyond the individual tents, a beautifully furnished main lobby tent, adorned with West Elm pieces and local artwork, provides a welcoming gathering space. Guests can relax in the cozy lounge areas, browse the boutique shop, or indulge in a selection of books and games sourced from Northwest artisans. For those seeking rejuvenation, the onsite yoga deck offers a tranquil space to unwind and connect with nature.
