“Loved this first time Glamping experience.”
The honey@stars& Embers Glamping was a perfect staycation for us. The tent provided everything required for a stress free stay. The Grandchildren loved it especially the hot tub and fire pit for marshmallows. The owners were friendly and helpful. Couldn’t ask for anything more.
