Recreate the romance of Kevin Costner's 'Dances with Wolves' and book a romantic Valentine's teepee getaway.
I can hear you thinking that this is camping and how you wouldn't want to spend your Valentines roughing in a tent all cold and wet in a sleeping bag. You're right that doesn't sound very romantic at all.
Tipi's have come a long way since the native American's first started using them. You can hire a traditional wigwam complete with animal skin rugs, however you can also hire Tipi's complete with double beds and log burning stoves.
A 21-foot diameter tipi is surprisingly spacious. Easily accommodating a double bed with a proper mattress, cushions and a coffee table, sheepskin rugs and a wood burning stove. Tipis are usually lit by an abundance of candles in lanterns however the wood burner might offer you enough light for your evening of romance.
Of course with creature comforts like a double bed to sleep in and a wooden floor, it hardly feels like camping at all. However you still have the romantic ambience and seductive lighting of the wigwam and the benefit of combining the luxury of a hotel with the excitement of living deep in the natural world.
The burning stove inside the wigwam means that you certainly wont have an evening of shivering. The chimneys of the stoves go through the canvas of the teepee to take all the smoke away so that you won't smell like an old kipper in the morning.
Not only are the evenings in the teepee romantic, but also the wigwam camps or settlements are usually in a quiet rural location, so there is lots of opportunity for romantic ambles around the countryside.
Outdoor living has never been easier, or more comfortable. By day you can enjoy the light airiness of the tipi and by night nothing beats cuddling up next to a cosy log fire, is there a better way to spend Valentine's Day?
