"Terramore was so cute! We loved our tent and had a great time at our stay. We utilized the included breakfast and s’mores package. We had a fire every night at our tent and the included space heaters/heated mattress pads really came in handy during the cool October nights! It was a perfect fun experience for our little honeymoon. We had dinner and a drink the one night at the restaurant they have on the premises. Highly recommend!"
