Awesome Glamping Experience

My wife and I really enjoyed the whole experience. You can tell they really put in a ton of effort on making the site warm and welcoming. The canvas tent was like a cozy home, so much more comfortable than a regular tent. We were able to easily cook breakfast and make coffee on the outdoor kitchen. There are a ton of outdoor adventures within walking distance as well, and downtown Delaware is just a short drive away. Also the hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, even after our stay. We will be back again soon!

The space was super cute. Great for a short stay. It rained nearly our entire trip, but the tent kept us perfectly dry.

Private. Pristine. Peaceful.

My husband and i, in our 50s, along with our 19-year-old and 17-year-old Sons, went for two days in July of 2024. When we arrived it was past 9:00 and the sun was going down. The hosts had put on the lights for us before we arrived, and it looked like something out of a Fairy Tail just glowing in the low light. The bed was extremely comfortable with great pillows and a feather comforter. Beautiful decor, and very welcoming. For our two sons they had padded cots made up with sheets and pillows and blankets. The tent was furnished with many fans which was very nice for the July weather. The side tables inside the yurt had very nice electrical hookups that included places for USB ports to plug right in. The kitchen was very nice with a two burner propane stove, running water, and a nicely stocked two box set of pans and dishes that included some oil, salt and pepper, as well as a French press to make coffee. At night we could hear the sound of distant trains as well as the low head Dam which is only about 100 yards from the tent. It made a very homie and contented sound to sleep by. In the morning is the sun came up the entire White inside of the tent just started glowing and there right in front of the zippered door is that beautiful River! My boys get some fishing catching enough fish to make a very generous lunch which we fried up over the campfire with a nicely provided cast iron skillet. My husband, who is a professional artist, did some Plein Air paintings. Wonderful!

Glamping Olentangy river ⭐️⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved this spot right on the river, we caught a ton of fish! The outdoor kitchen was perfect! We had a tornado warning and was worried about flooding but we stayed dry in this beautiful yurt! Highly recommended!

We loved glamping at River Run! This is a very special place. The tent was so cozy and inviting and we loved the outdoor kitchen. We got engaged here! It was the perfect romantic spot. Kacy and Justin have put in a lot of effort to make this place warm and inviting and it certainly shows. Having a fire already going when we arrived was such a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
