With clear-top tents designed for stargazing

Nearby attractions:Before the pandemic, the 200-acre family-run Glen Oro Farm had a couple of cabins for rent, but it wasn’t a major local attraction just yet.

All units have composting toilets, and the domes are heated using pellet stoves, which burn compressed off-cuts from lumber mills.
