Glamping Tent at The Shackteau

Family-focused lakeside retreat with 4 lodging options: Lottie's Lodge (sleeps 2), Glamping tent (sleeps 2 + room for 2 air mattresses), Tiny Pepe (sleeps 2), and The Shackteau Main House (sleeps 6 + room for air mattresses). Each has its own listing on misterb&b - but if you book the Main House, you automatically get the Glamping Tent and Tiny Pepe as part of the package. **When the Main House is rented, your hosts will reside in Lottie's Lodge to take care of the animals.

The Glamping Tent is private, but there may be guests in one of the other lodging options on the property if your party hasn't booked all of them. **Your hosts will ALWAYS reside in one of the 4 dwellings to care for the animals, usually the The Shackteau Main House or Lottie's Lodge.
