“This place is worth every penny!” one guest exclaimed. “The sky tower is so cool and such a great view. Our bachelorette party crew had plenty of space to sleep, play games, and enjoy being secluded and in nature. I personally never wanted to leave! I could have stayed up in the sky tower listening to the record player for the rest of my life. It was so peaceful and beautiful! 100000% recommend staying here!”
