IS THIS GLAMPING STAY FOR YOU?
- Ask yourself a few questions....
CAMPER? If you are a camper, this will be an upgraded experience, with more amenities than camping.
GLAMPER? If you have glamped some, you should be right at home. We do not have running water but now have a hot, shared shower. We also supply sanitary wipes to freshen up.
NEITHER? If you have not camped or glamped only a little, you can have a great time but it will not be a motel room experience. It will be a in nature experience. You may see a bug or a partial leaf blown under lift wall ( we do treat for bugs but the A-Frame is not air tight. Feel free to send us any questions. We want this to be a 5 star glamping experience for you.

This is a private neighborhood with no visible homes from the structure, along a very lightly traveled rural road. The A-frame sits about 120 feet from the Geodome in thick woods, which you can't see except in the winter. The tranquil sound of the creek will relax you. Occasionally, neighbors may fish the parking lot/waterfall area only. This is where the State releases trout.
The parking lot is about two miles or 7 minutes off Highway 421 South. The drive in is beautiful! You'll see a sign for Fall Creek Retreats and the address on a 19"x24" yellow and black sign. It's a pretty flat gravel road and parking lot with parking for up to 5 cars.
We have 2 other glamping sites available to rent in the glamping area. Each is private, on the creek, separated by 150 feet of woods and a full size cabin (400 yards away upcreek).
