2 nights at Lula Disc House

Comfortable well equipped and spacious tent. Host was very accommodating. Tons of activities nearby for kids and not too far out of Atlanta for an easy outdoor escape. Would recommend!

2 nights at Pap's Glamp &Cabin on Lake Hartwell

We had a great time enjoying the glamp set up and all the wonderful amenities. It was very nice being in the woods but still close to the water. The boys loved the corn hole and walking the trail/property. That outdoor kitchen was the perfect set up for all our cooking needs. Thank you Steve for being great host. We look forward to visiting again.

Weekend Trip to Pap's Glamp &Cabin on Lake Hartwell

A perfect middle balance of tent and cabin for a fun outdoor experience. Everything from the location not far from the water but tucked into the woods, the activities he has available to his guest, and the host 100% hospitality was just perfect. This is most definitely going to be a return trip for future travels.

3 nights at Pap's Glamp &Cabin on Lake Hartwell

My friends and I had the BEST time at Paps glamp!! Starting with his concern for the weather prior to our arrival, offering to change our dates if needed. We decided to go through and hope that the rain showers would be short, and we are SO glad we did. Upon arrival we were met with a welcoming introduction and he even offered to help us unpack! During our 3 night stay we enjoyed the kayaks, swimming, fishing, and cooking on the charcoal grill and the fire! However I think we can all agree the outdoor shower was the BEST! The tent has so much room to play games when it was raining. The fridge was big enough to hold all our food, the coffee station was perfect, and the beds were comfy! I have no complaints and we would LOVE to come back!! Everything is so beautiful and well thought out, highly recommend staying at Paps!!

3 nights at Lula Disc House

The tent was private, but near every thing. The Bath house was very clean and well maintained. While we are not Disc Golfers, it was very peaceful. We went for a few walks, but we really were just trying to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air, which we did. Definitely would go back or refer a friend.

1 night at Lula Disc House

Genenally, we loved the glamping site in Lula Disc House. We stayed one night for my daughter’s spring break trip. The owner, Corbin, was very kind to answer my questions, when I called one day before the stay. The atmosphere was quiet and the glamping tent and site was clean and well-maintained. The tent has a heater and AC control, a coffee maker, and a refrigerator in the room. The hammock was fun to ride!! The site BBQ grill was clean and Corbin was very helpful to show how to set up camp fire because it was the first time for us. Our dog enjoyed the trip, too. We all had a good time!! We stayed one night, it would be better to stay longer. We would come back and recommend this site to friends!!
