2 nights at Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake
It was so peaceful and quiet. My husband and I celebrated our 5th anniversary at starlight haven and it was so relaxing. Everything was so clean and the tent was the cutest thing. We had a good time and the host were just as great as everything else. They were very prompt to answering any questions we had. All around, I'd rate them stars 🌟

2 nights at Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake
Beautiful glamping experience! Stayed here for New Years Eve in one of the safari tents, #11, Pecan, was away from the ground & had 2 egg chairs, a hot tub & grill outside. Inside was a beautiful, soft, full-size bed, as well as 2 extra blankets & a strong heater, a white porcelain tub with a removable shower-head, thick, large, plush white towels, then in the kitchen, a Keurig, with basic plate-ware, mini fridge, microwave, as well as a little eating area. There’s also a large TV & the board game, Scrabble. Things to keep in mind: this is still “glamping”; light is limited after dark both outside & inside the tent; the water in the tub wasn’t hot; lukewarm at best. Pro-tip: for an easy dinner option, we got hot dogs, baked beans & chips at the Ingles, about 20 minutes away & heated in microwave. It felt like a romantic and unique experience, overall. The Weiss Lake glistens. We got to visit Mentone, AL during the day to see the hippie/art culture scene there, super cool. Didn’t get a chance to meet anyone while glamping, but the privacy was nice & appreciated. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground
The tent was very clean & spacious. Beds were fairly comfortable. The bathrooms & facilities were very clean & kept warm. We were right by the playground which was perfect for the kids, and the bathroom was close too. While the tent did have a heating/cooling unit, I’d suggest bringing extra blankets & at least 1 space heater for cold nights. We were able to keep the tent a comfortable temperature with the help of our space heater, but without it we would’ve been pretty cold overnight.
