SundanceKC Lake & Woodland Glamping Retreat

Glamping at it's finest! Come enjoy our beautiful 200-acre national park-esque ranch fringed in gorgeous limestone boulders surrounding a spring-fed 15-acre private lake with outdoor living area and sand beach. Great for swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and excellent fishing. We are only 5 minutes from downtown Excelsior Springs, Excelsior Springs Golf Course and 3EX municipal airport. We live on-site and will generally be available throughout your stay should you need or desire. The beautiful, breathable, waterproof canvas bedouin-style tent is perched atop an elevated wood platform in a wooded setting. The accommodations at the site are rustic, but upgraded with an adorable outhouse with modern composting toilet, a foot pump sink with soap for handwashing and solar lights inside and out. A queen bed with plush bedding, rugs, tables and chairs are inside the tent as well as a lithum generator for lighting, phone/tablet charging and an energy smart Vornado fan for keeping comfortable on warmer days. There is a french press for morning coffee, a water carafe of filtered drinking water provided as well as a jug and basin for face, hand or feet rinsing and a large charcoal and propane grill with a side burner for grilling, heating water and cooking (coolers and ice are available upon request for a small fee). Outside there is a bistro table for relaxing and enjoying the forest scenery and wildlife as well as a picnic table by the barbeque grill. The site is secluded but depending on the weather and your vehicle you may be able to follow us almost all the way to the site. :) If it is very, very rainy we have a golf cart available for rent if your car won't make it or if you arrive before 6 pm we will drive you down to the site in our Ranger ATV. :) We are also available to pick you up after 7 am. Guests also have access to the large outdoor lounge area at the front of the property overlooking the lake. The area is covered and includes lounge furniture, a tv and barbeque grill. The sand beach is just below the lounge area where guests can head down to the floating swim platform to cool off in the water or take out the kayaks, paddle boards or canoes. We live on-site and if we can be of any assistance we are always a text or call away. We love meeting new people and upon guest request would enjoy talking/hanging out with you if our schedule (and 3 year-old) permit. Excelsior Springs is a quick jaunt away and provides access to great dining, entertainment and history. The Excelsior Springs golf course is 5 miles away as is the 3EX municipal airport. Willow Spring Mercantile downtown has a great atmosphere, delicious food and sells local Missouri goods (including wine and spirits). For a quick run, Dollar General is 1 mile away. Also, Spring Delivers offers a food delivery service from most local restaurants and fast food establishments. A designated cooler is located in the main barn where food deliveries will be stored until you retrieve them. :) There are miles of gravel and dirt hiking and biking trails around the lake and throughout the property for your enjoyment. We felt it necessary to address guests' concerns regarding travel in the face of the coronavirus outbreak. We here at the Sundance Ranch are taking the coronavirus (COVID-19) very seriously... Due to the nature of our ranch (overall size, seclusion, controlled access, etc.) of our ranch and the distance between each property, we feel that we are very low risk. However, we are taking every precaution by fully sanitizing every accommodation and community area here on the ranch after each stay. Additionally, all employees are required to wash their hands frequently and wear disposable gloves. We are also asking guests who have traveled to areas with high levels of infection (either within the United States or abroad) over the past few weeks to contact us to determine whether their stay should be postponed or cancelled until they have received proper testing. We will continue to monitor the situation related to COVID-19 as it unfolds, which includes strict adherence to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance and advice from local Departments of Public Health. In doing our part to keep our community healthy, we will continue to work proactively to ensure the highest possible safety standards through this uncertain time. We appreciate your support and look forward to keeping you and you family safe as you enjoy your wonderful vacation here at our beautiful ranch.
