Glamping in the Ozarks at Deer Crossing

Glamorous Camping coined GLAMPING, has been included in my woods here in the Ozark Hills near Roaring River State Park, and Mark Twain National Forest. Kick back and take in the peace and tranquility. Feel the beauty of the forest while you experience camping in Luxury. Yes a real bed, the best there is...if you like Foam Memory Mattresses. Chairs and Table inside. A Heater when the weather calls for it and a private outdoor Shower and Lou. NEW THIS YEAR PRIVATE SHOWER AND LOU. NO MORE SHARING OF FACILITIES. During these trying times . . . if you are in need or want to escape your own isolation and want to enjoy these special prices so you can get away and feel safe and secure doing so away from crowds and possible infection . . . try Deer Ridge Lodge. All extreme precautions are being taken for those who either need or want to get some fresh clean air and sunshine while maintaining their Social Distancing. Beware that decor and furnishings may be different than the pictures. Due to abuse or damage some times things have to be replaced without notice. That being said.... there will always be the same type of such, just could be different, shape, color, design. . . ext. I do not keep double of everything if something needs to be replaced I do so. These Glamping Sites are NOT in a controlled environment . . being in the forest amongst the trees and wildlife many things can get disrupted. Just keep that in mind when booking. There is a Fire Pit on the deck, with limited fire wood provided for your first night... more for a small fee. There is no electricity in side the tent, yet I do have portable power stations (EgoFlow Products) available for rent and a security deposit if you feel you need it. You will enjoy having such a nice space all to yourselves. . . Check out the pictures to get a better idea of the site you are booking. You have ample room to move about on my 30 acres of woods. The three Glamping Sites I have sit on the far side of the property where I live. You are free to roam the primitive roads and woods. I intentionally keep it as untouched as possible yet clearly designed paths to the Yurts. PLEASE NOTE During winter months when temps get below freezing the outdoor shower house will be shut down. ALSO . . . Beware of freezing rain and/or snow during the winter as I will have to cancel or postpone your reservations. You must be accepting of these conditions when you book a reservation as there are NO exceptions to the cancellation policy set forth. I am available when needed between the hours of 10am to 6pm, unless there is an emergency. You can always reach me by phone or text. I do live on the 30 acres of woods where the Yurts are at, on the far other side of the property. You will enjoy having such a nice space all to yourselves . . . PLEASE NOTE During winter months when temps get below freezing the outdoor shower house will be shut down. ALSO . . . If there is freezing rain or snow I will have to either refund your booking fee, asking you to reschedule your stay, changing your reservation dates or move you into one of my indoor facilities for liability reasons. You will enjoy the quite serenity of being surrounded by woods and wildlife. Because I keep lights to a minimum you will experience the beauty the night sky offers on cloudless nights. Even though you will be under the canopy of the trees you will still see the millions of stars above you as well as the gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. The beauty and the charm here is being away and unpluged experiencing your surroundings nature and all the forest has to offer, yet being close enough (with in 15 to 30 minutes) to find some unique dinning experiences with fine food and unique shopping. Of course The State Park and National Forest just down the road a mile and the Recreational Lakes within an easy 15 to 25 minute drive makes this place all the more a true ‘gem’ of a get away . . . mother nature’s bounty just around the next bend in the road. To say the neighborhood (area) is quiet, loud, noisy, busy, slow, tranquil etc. . . is subjective. This place sits on 30 acres of woods....the land sits just off rural State highway 112 (also known as the Sugar Camp Scenic Byway) that goes into the State Park just a mile down the road from here... If you come in peak season expect traffic sounds on the State Roads. . . and if you are out side there are many sounds nature makes . . . some of these things are peaceful for folks and some are unpleasant. So the uniqueness of this property and area are dependent on your EXPECTATIONS, comfort level, and Life EXPERIENCES. I once stayed on an island off Costa Ric (Website hidden by Airbnb) The most peaceful serene place one could be (besides at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, which I have been to also) BUT every morning around 4 am the Holler Monkeys swung through the Camp!! Talk about (Website hidden by Airbnb) just keep in mind there is always good and bad about a place and space one experiences. That is the key though right? The EXPERIENCE. I welcome you to my property to enjoy and hopefully experience it as I do and many others do. It is my pleasure to open my family homes and land to others to create their own fond memories. Who knows it may just become a yearly tradition for you as it has for many who stay here. NOTE check in times are between 4pm and 6pm....if you need to check in after hours there will be a check in fee between $20 and $50...dependent on how far after afters your arrival is. I do have two very sweet and friendly dogs that live with me on this 30 acres, I do let them roam free as they are very well behaved and friendly. They will only impact your stay by loving on you if you allow them too. Every one falls in love with them. And since I am pet friendly on my properties expect other guests to have dogs as well. NOTE ... all animals must accompany a $30 per stay per animal service fee. No exceptions as this covers the extra cleaning required. Keep in mind even though this is in a rural area and in the county surrounded by woods it is also off of highway 112, so in peak season there will be many tourist in the area and traffic headed to the water ways and parks.
