❤️ THE MAGIC TIPI RETREAT

Our family had a fantastic time at the Tipi and the 12 course dinner option was amazing! once in a lifetime!

The entire experience was amazing. When you pull up you are given a tour of the tipi, grounds, and amenities and Keith was very friendly and funny. He gave great recommendations for places to visit in the area. The tipi had books, games, fire pit, grill outside, bonfire with chopped wood and kindling to start it, and a hammock; everything you need to have fun and relax. We will definitely be returning in future, we had such a wonderful time.

Wow! Unique and special. My husband and I took a quick trip to getaway for a bit with our two daughters (16&18) to escape our busy lives... when I say quick, I’m talking about 40 hrs... This was the right place quiet, peaceful... Keith the owner was so great to talk to very thorough on giving us the tour of our spaces. The Tipi was fun and unique, comfortable, cool in the evenings... slept like a baby. Keith gave us great recommendations of the surrounding areas and things to do. We kayaked for the first time after his recommendation and are we glad we did. So fun!!! My family and I cannot wait to plan another trip... but I think next time we might have them cook a dinner for us. After reading other reviews it sounds like that is going to be another great experience. The owners have thought of everything and we are so glad we chose to stay there. Thank you Again The Bigham Family

Everything was perfect (except for the weather at check-in!). The location is wonderful, we loved the bathroom/showers and greenhouse where we could hang and eat and admire Benka's plants! (So many orchids!). Keith was an awesome host filling us in on everything - even the surrounding area. The walking paths are beautiful and serine. The additional 5 canine hosts were adorable and Mici I'm so sorry you didn't spend at least one night with us! I wish we would have been able to stay longer than 2 nights. The teepee is an awesome experience to those who love nature and serenity. Thanks to both our host and hostess we had the best of times!

The property is wonderful. The hosts have thought of everything that you’d need. The tipi itself is very spacious. Bathroom area is very clean. Overall great experience ?

The TP was very large and roomy inside with 2 queen size beds. It was out in the woods and there’s a hiking trail in and around the property. The host’s are wonderful people. This was our second time staying in one of their properties.

We loved celebrating our 12th anniversary at the magical Tipi! We were there in July, but it cooled enough for us at night with the fan- it was perfect! Loved walking around their beautiful property and seeing their cute pups! Most of all, we loved spending time with the hosts. These are the coolest people we've ever met! Lots of laughs and a lot learned with the cooking lessons. I highly recommend partaking in their activities! The 12 course dinner was unlike anything we've ever experienced! Thank you Keith & Benka for making this an amazing stay.

Everything we needed was provided and the hosts were helpful in pointing out local places to visit. Lots of small touches made the stay so unique! We really enjoyed our peaceful tee pee experience!

The magic teepee was the perfect weekend getaway! Keith and Benka were so helpful and gave excellent recommendations on places to hike and see during our stay. The teepee and bath house had everything we could need or want for our stay. We also loved that we were visited daily by their beautiful dog who was so friendly and made us laugh.

We were looking for a quick reset and found it in this gem Keith and Benka have created an hour and 15 min outside of St Louis. Who knew!? They were so friendly and accommodating, and the stay exceeded our expectations, even after reading the universally positive reviews. I thought it was too good to be true, but it wasn’t!

We had a perfect stay in our little tee pee. We were greeted by Keith and a gourmet picnic basket. The items in the basket were handmade and SO delicious! We chose to do a spa day and would highly recommend this experience to all. Perfect place. Perfect hosts. We will be back!! Thank you so much Keith and Benka for sharing your home with us. ?

We will never forget our time at the tipi! Keith and Benka are wonderful hosts and have thought of everything a guest might need for a pleasant and comfortable stay. The rainy weather somehow made the cozy tipi and spa that much more wonderful. The place is clean, well-maintained and has so many creative and beautiful touches. You will love it!

Keith and Benka are such an amazing, interesting and kind couple. It was a truly incredible experience from the teepee to the 5 coarse breakfast. I'm sure we will definitely be back.
