Stargazer El Apache

A quick note about our tipis: these are authentic Sioux-style canvas structures, not traditional hotel rooms. Part of their charm is the connection they offer to the sights, sounds, and rhythms of nature.

Because they are canvas and intentionally open to the environment, they are not completely rainproof. During periods of rain, some water or moisture may make its way inside.



We absolutely love the unique glamping experience they provide and want you to arrive with the right expectations. Be sure to check the forecast and pack accordingly so you can fully enjoy your stay, whatever adventures Mother Nature has in store.

Other Things to Note:

Reservation Agreement - Lodgewell as a management company has a separate reservation agreement that is emailed to your personal email for digital signature. This agreement is not in conflict with AirBnB but in addition to clearly detail our rules and expectations on the home for this owner rather than the 1 size fits all you have signed with Airbnb. Please let us know if you would like to review in advance and we will happily share a copy.



THE ROAD - The last stretch of road to the property is an unpaved, caliche road. SUV or truck is great but not necessary.

WIFI - There is limited satellite wifi dependent on the weather.



RAIN - A traditional tipi has a large opening at the top. There is no way to seal the tipi completely and it is possible that drop of water will enter.



AC - During the hotter months, the portable systems in the tipis and tents have a hard time keeping up with the heat and better function once the day begins to cool off. They will only cool 20 degrees below actual temp.

DARK SKIES - Pack a flashlight or headlamp to maneuver around after dark.
