Description Description
The ultimate in rustic chic glamping is Spirit Bear TeePee at Eagles Nest! Experience the mountains like never before. Lay back and watch the stars from your seat beside the campfire. Make dinner over the outside wood firepit or at the gas grill, and roast marshmallows after dinner (cooking essentials provided). When it's time for bed, hunker down in the TeePee's main room with a Queen bed and two Twin beds and a glass & propane firepit. Washing up is a breeze in the unique bathhouse a short walk away from the TeePee, made of boulders and reclaimed barnwood, with a shower and art glass sink. On the grounds is a newly installed salt-water hot tub!

Staying out here in a TeePee doesn't mean you're giving up all creature comforts, though. Spirit Bear TeePee comes equipped with a coffeemaker, mini-fridge inside, Yeti cooler for food storage (bring ice!), space heaters for the chillier nights, fans for the warmer evenings, and WiFi.

What Should I Bring?
  • Backpack / Day Pack (due to the hiking trail access, suitcases are not recommended)
  • Clothing suitable for a mountain top glamping adventure during the season you are visiting 
  • Rain gear (we hope the sun shines for your entire stay!)
  • Hiking boots / trail friendly shoes
  • Hiking staff / trekking poles (optional but can be helpful for some)
  • Flash lights / head lamp for each person
  • Toiletries
  • Matches / Lighter (for the fire pit)
  • Ice for the cooler

When to arrive: Since access to the TeePee is via a wilderness trail, it is recommended that all adventure guests arrive during the daylight hours to familiarize yourself with the access from the parking area. Spirit Bear TeePee will be closed for winter season mid-October through mid-May yearly.

Such a great and unique experience! Glamping at its finest! A lot of care and thought was put into the guest experience. Of course you know going in that this stay brings in to play the outdoor elements, but there is clearly an attention to detail that allows you to enjoy many of the outdoor accommodations. The teepee provides all the bedding you need. The bathhouse is perfect and just steps away. The hot tub was enjoyable under the canopy of trees. The grill and available supplies made meal preparations fun. We loved it and would recommend it as a memorable glamping experience!

Amazing
Truly- the tee pee experience looked amazing and daunting at the same time. It was truly magical and actually easy- not daunting. The hosts thought of everything - aim flame lighters, wood, towels, etc. there is an excellent grill we used for dinner one evening. The “dining” Area and picnic table/mess sink were all So easy- and well thought out. We love loved our stay- remote and hidden in forest with amazing views from the spot you park at and also actually only A few min car ride from area attractions. Everything was super easy and well thought out. Our kids loved it! Ages 6-8.
