Why does this make me think of craft beer ----- fancy campin LOL


I'll take beer flavored beer and bug bites

I give these folks credit for thinking outside the box, but certainly isn't my cup of tea.

Admit it - you have booked reservations already despite your dislike of tea 

Interesting concept.  Pretty pricey.....

U got me!!


That damn tent is nicer than our deer camp ---- by a lot!

I knew it was only a matter of time before the curated artisan hand crafted olde-timey camping experience would be made available to the discerning dimwit demographic.  I suppose campers can finally make use of their designer urban axes before they go out of style: http://www.nexthipstertrend.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/hipsteraxe.jpg

This is joke, yes?

Capitalism at its best. The American Dream of small business. I really hope they kick butt and make lots of dough.

You know, if it gets people outdoors who might not have otherwise been there, and lets someone else have a decent business to provide that service, I"m all for it. I know people who would totally love this.

I was thinking of starting a "Glamping" business in the ADKs. I gave it up when I realized how much work I'd have to put into it just for the chance to cater after rich people's every whim. No thanks.

This is over the top

These guys reached out to me a few years ago about some kind of relationship. Just didn't see a fit:

Those look too rough for this bunch. Especially the dude roaming around in his tweed duds

Gee, I wonder if the word "nestled" is on any of those websites.

Some of those look like they are on side of a hill. They should probably put in escalators and grade that

Hmmm - don't you still have to shit in an outhouse.
I much prefer digging a cat hole and sleeping in my hammock.

OMG!!

I wish my grandfather was still alive. I'd love to see his reaction after watching that video....what a hoot!

It's a great idea, get people outdoors. Not everyone's cup of tea but kudos to those folks bringing new people into the park and also for taking a leap into business in the Adirondacks. It's a pretty romantic idea and hope they both do well

Not a novel idea, but one that may be new to ADK.    

I wish them luck.    At $175/night, I thought that was reasonable and a good business model, but then I saw it was PP....OK ?   Maybe for a special meal(s), but then I read breakfast and dinner were family style.    Nothing wrong with family style meals, but at when you are paying about $100 for that meal, I don't see the promise.  

ALMOST booked one of these out west for my then wife.  Price was about 350/night if I recall.   Cat drive up in early evening,  exclusive dinner for two, wine, breakfast, lift ticket and true first tracks.   She was not interested when I floated the idea.   Oh well.    

I'm afraid not. I don't really mean to be such a hater, but my old neighborhood got overrun with this "live an authentic old-timey life through the purchase of things" nonsense, and I had to cross 2 rivers and a state line to get away. Oh and they priced me out.

I have to confess I didn't read the website because it seemed like a waste of my time. I just saw the "tent" and figured it was a place for some yuppies to "rough it" then go home to Long Island or Connecticut and tell their friends about it.
