This is my second season visiting and everytine it’s better than before! The stargazer I stayed in has since been. relocated and in its place this incredible igloo style space. The dome igloo has all of the things to go glamping. You can control the lighting, there’s a heater and AC. It has curtains so you can sleep later but I highly recommend sleeping with them open. It’s almost freeing to sleep in what feels wide open while being safely secured (and not feeding mosquitos). The entrance to the dome is at the back of the structure. The front faces out to the garden and the field. There’s a small garden right in front of the dome that attracts nature right up to you. The next morning a squirrel ran right up against the dome with a walnut in his mouth. Then, a hummingbird flew up and hung out for a drink before taking off. It was so cool to be able to enjoy them so close without scaring them off. Melanie was an incredible host with great communication and so gracious. We came back kind of late from dinner and she offered hot tea and a fire. There’s also breakfast options like smoothie bowls, oatmeal, and quick cook breakfast. There’s also now a screened in gazebo for late night hang outs which I really appreciated. Bring bug spray if you’re prone to bites. Melanie offers a foraging activity so you can eat off the land. in order to get the most out of what you can enjoy, she doesn’t use pesticides. The garden is full of life! Will absolutely come back again!

This place is extraordinary. The tents are so beautifully decorated and incredibly well thought out. There was a lot of planning on all the details. I loved the screened in tent. A very relaxing space that felt like you are outdoors but in a screened in porch. The children's play area is adorable and has a ton of toys, books and activities for children. It's amazing that you can project a movie. It's like being at a drive in movie theater but with comfy seats and tables. The fact that Melanie will go above and beyond to make food or get you what you need shows how passionate she is about creating a space that connects people with nature yet you don't feel like you are missing anything. I like that the place is safe. You don't have to worry about other campers. Also, the place is super clean!!!! I owned a fairly large cleaning business for 20 years. This place is cleaner than a hotel. The bedding is clean, chic and comfy. Everything has a soft, fresh feeling to it. Love it!!!!!!!

Spent two nights with my wife and daughter. We loved it! Great views. Beautiful land to explore. Much better than a tent and it doesn't cost much more. We rode out the storms that flooded Milwaukee and were nice and dry. Endless firewood. Decent size fridge. The awning pictured is no longer there. Hosts were very nice but gave us our space. I highly recommend.

My husband, toddler son, and myself absolutely loved this getaway only 30 minutes south of MKE & a hidden GEM with very communicative hosts and attentive! I am blown away as a parent with a little one at the amount of activities. The frogs and the bunnies, oh my god! The kids tent! The globe dome! Best glamping experience ever for us as a family. We will be returning & recommend to all. Thank you, Indigo Zen Garden. (Key tip, go to 7 bridges, pay $15 each to go to the bear paw lake at jellystone, food at the depot and service is great.) 10/10! 🖤👏

Tent
Best part is the location. It’s walking distance to tons of restaurants, and bike stations are just around the corner, making it super easy for us to explore the city . The tent setup itself was extremely comfortable and well thought out clean, cozy, and stylish inside . Wonderful landscaping. We felt safe the entire time , and really enjoyed how accessible everything was . You’re right in the city , so it’s definitely not silent at night but they thoughtfully provide earplugs, and we were still able to sleep well. That said , this is urban camping , just like it says in the listing . Just come in with the mindset that it’s camping but in the middle of Chicago and you ll love it. If you re looking for a city adventure with a twist , this is a fantastic option.
Things we brought that helped make our stay more comfortable.
* Ended up buying a box fan at the Walgreens across the street, since it was the middle of summer.
* Sound machine for sleeping

Beautiful property! Short distance to Kettle Moraine Forest and Ottawa Lake Rec Center. The trailer is comfortable for 2 adults or 2 adults with a 3rd sleeping in the twin bed. Bring camp chairs if you want to sit around the fire. The hosts are lovely, gave us fresh eggs and thankfully helped us jump our car! It was interesting to learn about their conservation efforts as well.
