Glamping at The Martyn House

When I blogged about glamping, one of my readers commented about how expensive it is to glamp in style.  Afterall, “glamorous camping” is all the rage with celebrity-types.  So I decided to do a little research to see how expensive it really was and if there was an affordable glamp-site nearby.  I hit the jackpot when I stumbled upon The Martyn House!Image from The Decorologist



Image from The DecorologistThe Martyn House is a historic home and property located on a ridge above Ellijay, north of Atlanta.  It features three secluded luxury tents tucked into the corners of the forested property.  Each tent is fully furnished with antiques and styled after traditional India tents the proprietors’ visited while in India.   Take a peek inside:

A tent is $180 per night, double occupancy.   Each tent has a bathroom and a heater for cold nights.  Breakfast and afternoon tea is included.

During your stay you can take art or photography lessons, get a massage, or even hike and fish (haha).   The Martyn House hosts weddings and events, as well.

Now the question is:  who’s going with me and when can we make reservations?  Girl trip!!!!

    OOOOHH, fun!!! I could hike and fish while you take an art lesson, then I’m sure we’d each enjoy a massage before afternoon tea =). I’ve never seen a place like this – I love the idea of comforts in the middle of nature!!
