Step off the beaten path to Boonies Farm where you will experience a peaceful country setting. Walk the field road back to the trails and down into the bottoms where you will be surrounded by nature. The commons area offers a place to gather with a fire pit, covered seating and yard games. Nestled behind the fun park in the lush woods is a quiet Glamping escape perfect for rest and relaxation. The Dome tents have been transformed into guest suites with the most premium comforts including a private cedar hot tub. We like to think of it as a hotel experience surrounded by beauty and nature.
