Inntirety Forest Healing Center

5 sites · Lodging5 acres · Edwardsville, KS

Transform Your Story Into A Fairytale. Reawaken Your Inner Child & Reconnect With Your Authentic Self In A 5-acre Enchanted Forest. About Inntirety Healing Center The Inntirety Healing Center is a wilderness retreat and glamping area in Kansas City, KS. It offers a path for awakening your body, heart, and mind and restoring harmony with life through self-discovery and emergence into the senses. We are a substance, alcohol-free area for many reasons. A bottle of wine or something to sip on by the fire is acceptable, but Inntirety is a place of healing and exploration. Thank you for observing this request. We live on the property in the main house. Google Maps is mildly accurate, but it is like saying we are located at our neighbor's property. The house is green and has a wrap-around deck. If you aren't sure, please feel free to text me. Camping/Glamping Sites We have four glamping areas: two bell tents, a vintage pop-up camper, and a tiny treehouse cabin. Each site has a firepit or chiminea. If it is unsafe to burn, we will let you know. We are working on adding two more traditional camping spots, and they should be available in early fall. If conditions are unsafe for burning, each site has a mini BBQ grill. It is very important to keep your door zipped or shut. We try our hardest to keep bugs out so you are comfortable within. Each site is intense, and this is a magical bug detourant. Inntirety Cafe If you don't feel like cooking or preparing your morning coffee at your site, you can use the community mini-kitchen area in the Inntirety Cafe. There are cooking utensils, a 2-burner electric stovetop, a French press, an electric kettle, and pots and pans. If you decide to use the community mini-kitchen, please clean up the area. We do not have running water inside the community area but there is a wash tub and dish soap sitting just outside the building for cleaning dishes, etc. There is also a water station within the kitchen area. There is complimentary coffee, tea, creamer, sugar, butter, cooking oil, and a few other items for cooking. Inntirety Lounge Our community lounge is located within the Inntirety Cafe. Inside, you will find books, games, art supplies, and more. You are welcome to cool off, chill out, and relax during your stay. If you would like to borrow a book, game, etc., to bring it back to your campsite, please return it upon leaving. Solar Shower Just outside of Inntirety Cafe is a very primitive but perfect solar shower. A black container holds towels. Inside the cafe, there is a laundry basket you can place your laundry in after you are done. Body wash, shampoo, and conditioner are in a basket by the shower. To use the shower, pull the pump out of the green bucket, press the button, and then place it back in the bucket. This will turn the shower on. Wilderness Barrel Sauna Please let us know if you would like to use the sauna. It takes some time for it to heat up. Further instruction is at the sauna. We will ask that you sign a liability release if you want to use the sauna. Forest Soaking Bath If you want to experience the magic of soaking in a clawfoot tub in the middle of the forest, you must book ahead of time. It is a little process, as the tub is heated by fire and filled with a hose. There are two options for forest bathing, which can be found in the 'extras' section. This is an 'add on' experience and not included with your stay. Inntirety Above-Ground Pool Outside the Inntirety Cafe, we have a 12-foot above-ground pool, a couple of loungers, and two cute little boho rafts. There is NO LIFEGUARD on duty, so please proceed with caution. Groomed Trails The Inntirety forest has a groomed trail that is about a 3/4 mile loop. Please be aware that if you go off the trail, you will probably get poison ivy, ticks, and other things you might not want to bring home as a souvenir. Please stay on the trails.
