Tepees       The tepee makes it possible to experience on a daily basis what a nomadic culture experienced hundreds of years ago.   Living in a Native American Tepee provided a passageway back through time that allows us to actually experience some of the aspects of this unique culture.

Splitting wood, stacking wood, tending fire, warming water, cooking, cleaning, arranging.  You begin to realize that you are one with “the Great Spirit that moves all things”.

With a warm fire glowing in the middle of the tepee, dancing patterns emerge on the tepee wall, lending themselves to the relaxing atmosphere.  You relax and allow yourself to connect with that inner silence.  Relaxed and energized.  You are at peace.

We provide firewood for your campfire in the teepee and for the big communal fire in the arbor. This tipicamp arbor is wooden wind shelter built in the form of a traditional ceremonial lodge. There and in our Crow’s Nest (Guest’s Lunch and Dining Room) you can meet and socialize with other tipicamp guests or with local artists. Furthermore, a shower house, just up the hill from the tipicamp, is part of the guest’s facilities. Decorated artfully in Blackfeet style, all our guest’s facilities take part in providing you with a unique cultural experience.

Enjoy the comfort of the unique tipi construction designed for the dry warmth while retaining airflow and outdoor acoustics of the natural environment. For example, during the summer months, when it can be hot and dry due to the continental climate in the rain shade of the Rockies, the double tipi walls will keep the inside of the tipi at a very pleasant temperature. You also will be able to hear crickets at night, under star-lit skies. Sometimes you can even hear coyotes howl.
