Frequently Asked Questions

Check-in is between 4:00 - 10:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Feel free to inquire about an earlier check-in or a later check-out. I will be happy to accommodate you if possible.

We want to keep the woods natural and quiet, so parking is provided just off the main driveway. We are happy to transport you and your belongings in the golf cart. Otherwise, it is an easy, 5-minute walk between the parking area and glampsite.

We don't have the ability to charge electric cars on-site. There is a 'Park-N-Drive' lot in Rosco Village, just a few minutes down the road.

We tell our guests to pack the same types of things they'd take to a hotel. Below is a list of just a few personal items that might enhance your stay just a bit more:

- ESSENTIAL - Good walking shoes or boots, something that can get muddy when the weather turns.

- Comfortable, seasonal clothes.  You are off-grid, so there are no mechanical forms of air conditioning. We do have ceiling fans and a heater in the cottage for chilly nights.

- Music for the Bluetooth speakers.

- Food & Drink.

- Fishing gear (We have some provided, but you might have your favorite lucky rod). 

Your first bundle of firewood, with a starter, is included. You are also welcome to burn any deadwood found lying on the forest floor that fits inside the firepit with the screened lid on. We also have seasoned bundles, with a fire starter included, available for purchase at HQ. Note that this firewood is chopped to fit into your firepit.

Our healthy forest is home to all sorts of insect life. But between the birds, frogs, turtles, fish, and dragonflies, the population is kept in check. So yes, you are likely to encounter bugs, but not swarms.

We try to mitigate encounters with the creepy crawlies in several ways. The canvas cottage is fully screened, so keeping the door zipped up is key. There is a bug vacuum for the ones who simply won't let you sleep. We also provide a Thermacell repeller designed to cover a 20' radius. Essential oils that deter bugs are set throughout the site. Finally, there is a hand-broom to gently brush away spiders and their webs.

Our woods are also home to lots of creatures, so it's important to keep all food and trash secure. Otherwise, you're likely to have a close encounter with a raccoon or skunk. You are very likely to see deer, so take care while driving your car around here - especially at dusk. Our dog Spirit, a Great Pyreness mix, protects the property from any worrying wildlife. He is otherwise, very friendly and may spend time hanging out with you if you wish. If you're not a dog person, we are happy to put a location collar on him that keeps him close to his home.

The Bombay Belle glampsite is an ideal romantic get-away meant for two adults only. It is in no way a child friendly environment.

Although you will be off-grid, there is a portable power unit rated for 500 watts.  This is capable of running several small appliances, such as laptops and Cpap machines. There is also a bank of USB ports for charging your cell phone or tablet.

The glampsite is supplied with fresh, filtered potable well water. It has been tested and deemed safe for drinking, washing, and cooking. This is the same well that supplies the entire property, including the cottage in which we live.

Cell service is typically available, but being is such a rural area, can be spotty for some providers. There is no Wifi provided at the glampsite.

There is no air conditioning in the canvas cottage. The glampsite is under the shade of the forest canopy, which does an excellent job of keeping it several degrees cooler. The ceiling fans above the bed and the large screened windows and door should also help to cool the space.

During the cooler months, we provide the site with a propane heater. It runs off a thermostat. and easily maintains a nice cozy temperature.

It's all part of experiencing the great outdoors. Your canvas cottage is waterproof and spacious enough to be comfortable. Please zip up all the windows if you find the weather intruding on the interior.

The covered awning area will keep the kitchen area dry, and there is room to move the table and chairs underneath. Or you can grab the provided umbrella, and hang out at HQ where there's lots to keep you entertained.

Note that should a violent storm occur, such as a tornado or strong winds, your safety should be your main priority.
