Glamping...is it still camping?
We find it is better to properly set the expectations for everyone before they come Glamping. You will have a very comfortable bed with proper linens. You will have places to sit, places to eat, and places to charge your phone. You will still be able to wake up and have a fresh cup of coffee from a Kuerig Coffee Maker.
We do provide heaters in the winter and air conditioners in the summer, but remember this is a tent with a canvas exterior. The heating and cooling will be just enough to take the edge off, but will not have the same effect of a home. In the summer months, we recommend keeping the doors and windows closed during the day and the canvas doors open at night to let the summer breeze in. In colder weather, it is imporant to bring warm clothing.
Most Importantly, you will have a chance to re-imagine the world around you as you make special memories with family and friends.
-
Do you allow dogs?
We love our furry Glampers! Just add the pet fee for each pet in the add on section at check out or send us an email letting us know ahead of time and we will get that added.
We just ask that you do not leave your pet alone in the tents at any time unless properly crated. You are financially responsible for any damage that is done to our accomodations by your pets.
-
What happens if it rains?
Sometimes it rains. All of our tents are waterproof and have additional rain guards to ensure you still have an enjoyable experience. In fact, we have been told by guests that experiencing rain in our glamping tents is a great experience.
We do not cancel reservations due to rain, thunderstorms, or illnesses.
We do recommend protecting your trip at the time of your booking with Timberline Glamping Travel Insurance in case of inclement weather or any illnesses that might arise. We do not cancel reservations due to rain, thunderstorms, or illnesses. Adding TLG Travel Insurance is easy, just select it as an add-on when making your reservation. You can also add it later as long as it is still more than 14 days from your reservation. If something comes up, there are no long forms to fill out...just send us an email. The Fine Print: Must Cancel or Move reservation prior to 3pm the day before your reservation for a full refund. If you cancel within 24 hours (After 3pm the day before your stay), you forfeit your deposit. Must Have One Policy Per Accommodation Non-Refundable.

Yes you can, you can take any of the items sold in our online store home with you and we will charge the card on file. You can also just give us a call or send us a text of the items that you like and we deliver them to your glampsite. When in doubt just give us a call.
