If you’re looking at this property, go ahead and book! It was charming, rustic, and awesome! The beds were soft and the bedding was luxurious. I wish we could have stayed a few extra days, but Yellowstone was calling!

Super fun and cute vibe. The nightly community bonfire was a nice touch, and the tipi/grounds in general were as clean as you could expect. We stayed in 5 different places during this trip and Starlight Retreat was the favorite of my children - we will likely return again in the future when able.

Tents are nice and very well done. Check in is smooth. Community fire pit sucks and no place near the tent for picnic bench or fire.

Loved the luxury bell unit we stayed in, very cozy nice vibes. Loved that showers and restrooms we available even though you were having those fixed because of the winter months. You guys honestly have everything perfect to make a comfortable space away from home. Incredible views, helpful staff, beautiful wildflowers, area for communal fire which was awesome. Eve the carbine monoxide monitor under the bed for the propane heaters! I will definitely stay here again if I get the chance!

Tent inside was okay. Beds were comfortable … toilets and showers were dirty. No toilet paper. No warm showers. No landing at the tent and it rained so there was a lot of mud puddles. Toilets was relatively far away from tent and with the rain it was too muddy to walk so we had to drive every time we wanted to go. Concept is great but I think with the price I paid I expected more.

Such a fun place to stay! We stayed in the Teepee with our 5 boys and they were in Heaven. The teepees leak a bit when it rains, mostly around the door. The shared cooking space had a stove and a grill along with all the pots and pans you would need. You need to bring your own utensils. They have a camp fire each night that the staff lights and takes care of, and they offer a complimentary s’more kit (1 per person). The cooling area is right beside the fire pit, where they also have tetherball, horse shoes, soccer ball, corn hole, swing set… It was one of the boys highlights to eat dinner, have a fire with s'mores, and playing games with the other families around the camp. The staff was amazing! Super helpful, informative, and very kind.
