Comfy Glamping at 12 Fires

The experience was wonderful and just as the pictures on the website appear! My daughter and I loved the peacefulness of the location, the shower and a/c were great, the beds were comfy (they are the kind you sink into; my back did hurt a bit as I'm used to a really firm mattress but it was soft and inviting), and the atmosphere was just what we needed. We stayed here not only for the glamping experience but also because it was a great location for checking out the towns all around, which was the purpose of our trip. The thoughtfulness of the owners to provide earplugs (it is located near a well traveled road) for those wanting to have a truly quiet sleep was definitely a pleasant surprise. My family loves the sounds of nature (we love to camp) and we can sleep easily through mild noises so the road traffic was not an issue for us. A few things we will bring for our next stay are a box fan (mostly for circulation in the bathroom area), a tiny portable nightstand (to hold glasses and chargers) and our puppies because this is truly a pet friendly place. There are 5 units situated close enough for visiting but spacious enough for privacy. We enjoyed visiting with our neighbors and their dogs. Finding the location was a bit difficult as the link on Booking.com was incorrect (trust me...we arrived after 10:00 pm and the direction to turn down Cypress Mill Road is wrong!!!). So make sure you physically lookup 12 Fires and their directions...do not type in 100 Durango Road, Johnson City as Google will take you somewhere else! Hint: It is right off the road and next to a castle on a hill. The signage is not helpful if you don't know where you are going so truly follow 12 Fires instructions. If you arrive late look for the Tent City sign as that is where they are! If you are looking for a unique stay then we highly recommend Glamping at 12 Fires! We will definitely plan a return visit and stay!

This is a family-friendly and pet-friendly place, which was exactly what we were looking for. If you are searching for some liveliness then this is not for you. It is a great place for a girls' stay (we definitely felt safe), a couples stay or just to enjoy solo. The only things needing to be corrected are the Google directions, Booking.com directions, and late arrival instructions. Signage says 12 Fires Winery but doesn't mention glamping at the front so possibly adding that where it is visible at the entrance would be helpful. We really did enjoy our stay and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing stay with nature as your surroundings. There wasn't anything we disliked!

Thoughtful hosts, a great setup and a good vibe. Exceeded my expectations.
