Modeled after the Wharton Grove Campground, a Baptist tent camp revival site and steamboat stop established in the late 1800's in nearby Weems. Over time, those canvas tents evolved into proper frame cottages in a distinctive carpenter Gothic style of arched windows and Victorian gingerbread. As Steve Hendrix of the Washington Post described the tent community, "it's a splendid...setting for a rural retreat among the vines." This delightful cottage has plenty of room to spread out. As soon as you enter your eyes go to the light-filled sun dining porch. The living room’s comfortable and eclectic styles makes you feel right st home.

The lower level has a queen room and a room with two twins, both with ensuite bath, twin bathroom also accessible from the hallway. The queen room opens to the patio facing the trees and stream, with an outdoor shower, hot tub, comfortable seating, firepit, and the welcome sounds of nature.
