Stayed in a tipi two nights, absolutely fell in love with this place! We arrived very late and was greeted with smiles. The stars are incredible there, woke up to the river just outside our door. What a beautiful place! Absolutely going back for more fun 💚💚💚

We had planned to stay here a couple nights but ended up leaving after 1. We were not informed our children all 8 and older could not use the hot tub until 9 p.m. The lady was so nice and sweet and informed us there was a hot tub. I called later that evening to get the got tub gate unlocked. He informed me our cabin didn't have a hot tub after the lady told me the other one was for everyone to use. He then said ok, I'll come out and unlock it but adults only. What adults are going to go sot in a hot tub and leave their children sit in a musty cabin. The location was nice and the cabins were do able. I figured since it had a shower there would be towels but there was only 1😬. The place has so much potential. I think we would have been just as well in a tent and saved the money.

So we ended up not staying. We booked two nights. Told them we would be getting there late which was fine. Both my vehicle navigation and my Google maps on my phone took us down a sketchy road with wash out on both sides for 6 miles. Running water over the road. Would have been screwed if we were in a car and not a jeep. Once we were able to weasel our way out, we called the people and they acted like they had no idea about this route. There is apparently a paved way, but you're telling me you've never heard of the other route? That both our common GPS systems took us down? Gimme a break. At least put a warning or something on your website. We ended up staying at a motel in Nashville instead.. Also, we drove by the retreat just out of curiosity the next day and see what we may have missed out on. Absolutely nothing. Looks sketchy and dilapidated. Thanks be to God for stopping us from staying there.

Everything they show on their side is a lie. It is very run down they have electrical problems they use extension cords to run everything. There is mold all through the teepees. TV refrigerator nothing worked in the TV The kids were very disappointed because they had no petting zoo no paddleboats no fishing. They said the raccoons got the animals. Beautiful pictures you see on their Site are not true because when you get there you will be very very disappointed.. They say they are a ministry well they need to do a whole lot of gods work on this place.
