FAQ
Yes! You are in close quarters in the evenings and have 20 acres to roam freely throughout the day. You have two options for your accommodations, which are the same price:
Bunk in the Château
Stay in a twin-sized bed in a spacious six to eight person bunk room with an ensuite bathroom(adorned with Portuguese tile). Guests from multiple parties may stay in the same room based on party size and room availability. Parties of six or eight will be assigned to a private room on a first come first served basis. Campers are not guaranteed the specific room option in the image above, but they are all gorgeous.
Bunk in the Glamping Tent
Craving the sound of nature? Stay in a twin-sized bed in a glamping tent on the meadow, with clean bathroom facilities nearby. All Glamping Tents have access to the pool house bathrooms and showers nearby on the grounds. There are only five glamping tents, so parties hoping to stay together in glamping tents should not exceed more than 10.
For specific diets, please inform ahead of time of your dietary restrictions so that the chefs may find fresh and plentiful options for you throughout your stay or make any necessary adjustments.
