Family-Friendly Ranch Stay in Covered Wagon | Trails & Animals

SLEEPS 4 – Step back in time with our Oregon Trail-inspired Conestoga Glamping Wagon, offering a unique blend of pioneer charm and modern luxury. Nestled on a ridgetop, this cozy wagon sleeps 4 with a queen bed and a cot-size twin bunk (ages 13 and below). The wagon is fully equipped with climate control, a full bathroom, luxury bedding, electricity, and convenient amenities like a coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge.

Enjoy the outdoors with access to hiking and biking trails that wind through wooded areas, pastures, and over a mile of Taneycomo lakefront. A shared covered pavilion with a charcoal grill, outdoor sink, and picnic tables makes meal prep a breeze, while a campfire pit provides the perfect spot to unwind under the stars. Explore the nearby fishing pond, slough, and Sycamore Creek Beach for a truly relaxing getaway.
