Host Mel, she and her family micro mini farm glamping rentals are amazing. Mel has some fabulous, AK born and raised 3rd generation, stories, she shared with us. she could write a book about her life.
She's taking over her a 1950's log cabin property her family owns and she grew up in. Her family are developing a micro mini farm / garden for her children, she's set up these amazingly gorgeous huge bell tent rentals, is refurbishing an old popup camper to rent, built an outdoor Bath House Hot Shower, has a Common Area inside a building she's still remodeling but is still fabulous, we LOVED having indoor flush toilets, All the cooking amenities you could possibly think of needing but not need to bring yourself, from pots and pans, to all dish ware to prepare your meals and to eat them on dishware sets. there's a fridge, wall shelves FULL of Books, Games, etc. two large tables to eat indoors and leather couch to relax and socialize space in, it has a huge deck all views of ocean and glaciers from every spot on her little acre property. The Bike Trail is literally out front of her property, abd it’s maybe a 3-5 minute bike ride to the middle of downtown/shops/restaurants, art galleys, Breweries etc. our family enjoyed having the in town convenience. no one in our group had any issues sleeping in tents, fully furnished like a fancy hotel room, and are super tall tent, they’re on a huge deck Host Mel build herself from reclaimed wood,
we had our own wood fire pit with bbq grill and picnic table with an umbrella, Adirondack chairs,
BEST nights sleep ever while "Camping"
Warm Down Comforters, soft beddings and pillows, extra blankets, bright lanterns and lighting, recharging stations.
The tents have 1 or 2 queen beds, kids had thick sleep mats, a baby bed,
one night was chilly the tent heaters only took 2 minutes to warm up the tents.
Host Mel warned us, all we would need to bring was our selves, clothes and actual food we wanted to cook and eat and boy was she right!,
firepits are also set up as camp cooking bbq fire pits, or we could use the Common Area outside to cook on the covered Propane Grill area with tons of more eating and seating space, and a propane fire pit with comfortable seating, the kids played on their super cool refurbished Fort Play, area for hours, a sand box, slides,
Their mini farm, the kids got to collect fresh Duck and Chicken eggs for breakfast, she has a breakfast/coffee/tea/hot cocoa complimentary set up with cereals, and different mix of foods and beverages to help ourselves to.
What a wonderful experience. We will be coming back
