We loved our stay at Tiny Shiny Retreat! The Lily tent was the perfect backdrop for a sister getaway weekend. Jordan and Elizabeth do an incredible job making a campsite feel elevated and special, from the welcome basket featuring local suggestions and treats to a fully furnished outdoor kitchen. 5 stars, would book again!
We loved our overnight stay at the Tiny Shiny Retreat! Our 3 young (2 yrs-7yrs old) kids thought it was magical. It was a perfect setup for our family to enjoy a unique night away from home. Would also be a perfect place for just 2 adults to get away and simply rest. Doesn't get much cooler than spending the night in a restored Airstream camper!
Such a thoughtfully put together experience at the Tiny Shiny Retreat! Jordan and Liz are amazing hosts - they genuinely care that their guests have a wonderful and relaxing time. Would highly recommend grabbing the kayaks and paddling to see Burgess Falls - then cap the day off with a beer at Calfkiller Brewery before crashing at the Tiny Shiny airstream! Perfect!
This is the cutest little glampground with all the amenities! The owners are incredible and provide the very best customer experience!
The tent is my favorite!!
My girls and I had a great stay at the Tiny Shiny Retreat! My 7 year old wants us to buy an Airstream now. Zero chance of that when I can just come back and stay at this one for less than a hotel. I’m into the outdoors but not camping so the Airstream was a great compromise for me. The fire, picnic table, lake, hammock, and bunk beds really did it for the girls. Thanks!
We stayed at Tiny Shiny Retreat over the weekend to celebrate our kids’ birthdays, and it was such a magical experience. The Airstream and tent were cozy, beautifully designed, and full of thoughtful touches that made the stay feel special. Even better, the host was absolutely amazing—so friendly, helpful, and full of great tips on what to see and do in the area. We spent our evenings by the fire roasting marshmallows, grilling, and watching the stars, while the kids ran around declaring it “the best day ever.” It was the perfect mix of comfort, adventure, and peaceful escape. We made memories we’ll never forget and can’t wait to come back!
