Glamping??? Y Knot!!

If you follow us at all on Facebook you know that we are all about GLAMPING right now!! Maybe you have questions about glamping (what the heck is it anyway?) or are curious what we have to offer as a glamping establishment - this blog should answer all of those questions! If it doesn't, please feel free to ask us - we love questions and new ideas to help improve our facility to make it a prime wedding venue!

What is GLAMPING? 
What is this Glamping thing we speak of? Simply put it is GLAMorous camPING!! You are in nature enjoying all of the benefits of camping - nature, crisp clean air, birds chirping - but you get the luxury of a nice hotel room - fluffy pillows, pillow top mattresses, and HOT SHOWERS, plus breakfast delivered to your tent door! 

What does a Glamping Tent Look Like?
Our Glamping Tents are canvas tents featuring rustic and vintage decorations.  All tents have a hardwood floor and an eight foot deck with lounge chairs for you to enjoy the sunrise and sunsets from. All of the tents feature a luxurious bed, nightstand, mirror, fun decorations and FLUFFY towels to use at the shower house.  We will SOON have pictures of all of our completed and decorated tents so you can decide which tent is the best fit for your perfect weekend!

SHOWER HOUSE!! 
Yes you saw that right, there is a SHOWER HOUSE! Our Glamping shower house is a large tent with 4 individual rooms with separate entrances that allow our campers to take a private shower.  All of the showers have HOT water and you will find using them to be similar to taking a shower at home.  Each room has a dressing area to keep your personal items dry while you shower.  Our shower house is about a 10 minute walk from the tents - or a 2 minute drive. Towels are provided at your tent for use in the shower houses, so no need to pack your own! 

Amenities? 
Besides fluffy towels and warm showers what do our tents have to offer you?  We have a number of amenities for our glamping guests.  Indoor plumbing can be found 440 yards from your tent in the Y Knot Barn & Event Center.  We bring a continental breakfast of baked goods, fruit and juice to your tent door at 7:00 (ish) am.  We offer natural settings and a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of busy life.  Our tents do not have any electricity to them - so leave that smart phone in your bag and commune with nature :) for the non nature enthusiast there are outlets in the barn and shower house to get a little battery boost!  Fresh drinking water is provided daily.   

Y Knot Glamping Tents
Y Knot Glamping has 5 tents that are available to rent - as we are a wedding venue first - and we want to accommodate to our wedding guests - glampings is only available to guests on wedding weekends.  However during the week and on weekends without a booked wedding, glamping tents can be rented! We have a selection of tents to choose from. Hollowtop - our honeymoon suite -featuring a king bed is set apart from the other tents to offer utmost privacy.  Potosi Peak and Granite Peak both offer two queen beds - perfect for friends that want to stay together! Mount Jefferson and Horse Mountain feature one queen bed and is a great option for guests who prefer not to share their room with others.  We encourage families to glamp as we feel it is an unforgettable experience, which is why we allow kids to bring sleeping bags and sleep on the floor in the tents - that means that you can sleep more than 4 in a tent if you have a larger family! 

House Keeping Details
Our check in time is 2 p.m. and our checkout time is 11 a.m. If you need different times please inquire we try our best to fully accommodate each guest to the best of our abilities.  You must check in at the 135 Johnson Road (the house by the barn) by 9:00 p.m. before making your way to your tent, unless other arrangements have been made  
We ask that all glampers remember that you are CAMPING! There is wildlife in the pastures and on the paths between the tents and barn and the tents and shower houses, please be respectful of the animals and DO NOT disturb them!
