Guest Reviews

This place is absolutely amazing. The attention to detail in the tents is great! Everything is comfortable and well thought out. You will not want for anything. You have your own beautiful personal bathroom (which is more like a spa) just a few steps away. With waterfalls just outside, it’s very tranquil as well. I only stayed one night in The Priest because I had a cabin booked for the other nights but I’ll definitely be back to stay again!

My wife and I decided to spend our 30th year anniversary in Crabtree Falls. We reserved the “Priest “ glamping tent. My wife and I had such an incredible time. It far exceeded all our expectations. Not only was it very relaxing it was also very romantic. The location is absolutely gorgeous and first rate. Everything you could possibly need is there for you. Beth-Anne, our host was so accommodating and a good communicator. She made sure that we were lacking nothing. She even added her personal touch to make sure that our stay was extra special.
