I can see how this would be a really pleasant stay in different conditions (we had a lot of rain), but unfortunately we had no instructions regarding the chimney and how to open it, so ended up with the tipi full of smoke and waiting for a few hours in the car for it to clear. It was raining, so there was nowhere else to go. A few extra instructions about how to operate the stove would have made our stay much more easeful too. I'm sure Priscylla will add this information in for future stays, and nonetheless she was helpful in answering our questions via text as these issues arose.
