Cute, comfy and clean. This is my first time glamping and I’m surprised at how well I slept!

Beautiful Property!
Nance has a beautiful property, and she is a wonderful host. She made sure I was setup to have a wonderful day, providing great tips to enjoy all of the natural beauty around her. I would 100% recommend a stay at her place!

Pictures don’t do the property justice. Such an amazing private property. We loved the star gazing and exploring during the day. We 1000 percent would be honored and lucky enough to stay here again. Thanks Nance 😊

Healing through the land
This land is incredible - so powerful and healing. Be sure to catch the firefly show from the observation decks as night falls!

With pets
We really enjoyed the Lichen Pod. Nance was awesome and super nice. She showed us around the property and then left us to enjoy the peace and quiet of the campsite. The spot is pretty private and peaceful. Would definitely come back!

Magical
I can't say enough good things about staying at Nance's - there are so many details that make this a wonderful place to be. The land is truly gorgeous and a birder's paradise. The fireflies at night and the sunset over the prairie is unreal! Highly recommend both the sauna and biking the nearby Jane Addams trail, which Nance kindly recommended to us. Nance's sweet and friendly pets are also a highlight that bears mentioning.
