CHARCOAL FIRED, RAINWATER TUBS
Hot soaks do need to be arranged in advance, perferably when booking. We sanitize, clean + refill between guests. Since the tub heat is powered by fire (and not a constant /electric) Advance notice allows us to fire it up and have it up to temperature for you when your ready...after a days hike, that paddle around the lake or say sunrise with your coffee. You tell us and we'll stoke that fire and make it happen. $150 surcharge for HOT soak which goes towards heating /cleaning/stoking + maintenance
All toys and rec equipment are available as well for guests. Kayaks, dinghies, paddleboards, various swim toys and floaties, swings hammocks, slack line, safety gear docks and swim platform. (life jackets supplied if needed and required)
IMPORTANT: The 20 acre property is SHARED with one other traditional style campsite as well as us the hosts. All spaces are nicely separated and have their own outdoor spaces however they do SHARE the outdoor kitchen and bath commonly. The outfitter tent(this listing) enjoys the most private setting on the property but know there is a chance you may be communally cooking, eating, swimming, playing fetch etc. with others. Rethink if needed and book accordingly.
**IMPORTANT** YOU ARE UNPLUGGING** there is NO immediate cell service (not even just a little) other than for emergency purposes.
9Mile Adventures- Wentworth immersion experience may not be for everyone if you are uneasy without your wifi, running water or really any modern-day conveniences, or on the contrary if bugs make you fidget, the quiet makes you nervous and you can't roll with occasionally unforecasted wind/fog/rain this may not be your cup of tea, and thats ok!. Be honest with yourself, does this experience sound intriguing or terrifying? if the latter please rethink before booking.
Please understand that the camp is undergoing constant improvements & various projects may be underway during your visit. We try to keep it tidy but realistically that just isn't always possible. The entire property is use at you and any of your guests own risk, and similar to other tour companies we do ask that you sign a waiver/release acknowledging this.
What we truly hope, what our vision from the beginning has been is that all our guests enjoy a unique, peaceful, handcrafted experience that brings each individual that much closer to our planet, respecting her maybe just a little bit more. 9 Mile adventures hopes to provide you with a moment or more of tranquility and a fulfilling escape from society. Feel free to hug the trees.
Guests who book this listing should understand that the location is not easy come and go access (kinda the point). The property is located down long, windy, gravel service roads. Our escort car is a must and comes with the booking this will be the main interaction you have with us as hosts unless you need something or want more. Guests need to plan accordingly and think of it as a backpacking trip meaning upon arrival, they will not use their car until departure (except emergencies) They will be responsible for all meals and activities or can choose to book meals and activities with us.
