Frequently asked questions
What is a staycation?
The word staycation is a blend between stay and vacation. In literal terms a stay-at-home vacation is a holiday where you stay close to home and enjoy the activities and attractions on offer. Previously, a staycation involved driving to a place a little further from home for a day trip, but in today's world it's a break taken over a course of days that doesn't involve flying to another country.

There are 2 parking spaces allocated for each cabin. Golden Oak Treehouse cabins have 3 spaces. Depending on location, not all parking spaces will be directly outside your cabin.
