“There is nothing like hearing the owls at night and hanging out by the campfire all day.” - Christy



Come and relax in the trees. Wake up to the beauty of nature and relax with a cup of espresso on the deck. During the day, explore all that Des Moines has to offer. From outdoor activities to shopping and dining, there is something for everyone. And when night falls, gather around the fire pit with your loved ones and share stories while roasting s'mores.



“The tent exceeded my expectations... The added bonus was the fire pit outside where I was able to relax.” - Christopher



You won't have to give up comfort while "camping". Our glamping tent offers all the amenities you need to feel comfortable while still being immersed in nature. With air conditioning and heat, you can adjust the temperature to suit your needs no matter what the Iowa weather throws your way. Get a good night's sleep in our king-size bed with cosy bedding.



Enjoy the convenience of running water at the nearby sink and shower, which means you won't have to give up cleanliness while camping. Sticky hands from roasting s'mores? No problem!

“...we spent most of our time outside the tent, enjoying the beautiful fall weather and listening to the sounds of the woods. Highly recommend!” - Marye



Wifi and TV are amenities in the tent. If you want to unplug, let us know before checking in and we can turn off the wifi and remove the TV.



“This was the absolute best weekend getaway and I would 100% recommend it! Very clean, so adorable, breathtaking views!” - Jeni



This tent is tucked into the trees on the 7 acre property where we live. Our house is out of sight when you're on the campsite. A short walk down a path and you will reach the tent where you will be immersed in the trees.



“Two words: instant relaxation. Beautiful secluded location yet just steps from the car.” - Carolyn



Since you are in the trees there will always be bugs. Bringing insect repellent is a good idea.



If you are staying during the time of year where the temperatures dip below freezing, the water will need to be turned off when temperatures go below freezing. Water will be turned back on once temperatures return to above 32 degrees.



“A great find in Des Moines! This checked all our boxes for serene, relaxing, and unique!” - Cherise

We are in between Des Moines and Ankeny. We are surrounded by fields to the East and West. We have neighbors to the North and South but they are separated by space and trees.



It feels like you are in the country but you are close to all that the Des Moines metro has to offer.
