Scratch glamping off your list with this amazing stay!

The Stargazer yurt has an amazing 360-degree panel located around the roof canopy to give you a sky view, with an easy clip-on sunshade curtain included. It also has two canvas doors, each with a mosquito net door behind. Roll down canvas blind windows, zip open PVC windows to keep out heavy rain, and behind them, a mesh layer to keep out mozzies and allow maximum airflow in summer. The space strictly sleeps 2 guests (children must be over 12yo to stay at our yurts)

INCLUDED IN YOUR STAY

-One queen size bed with clean linens
-A handy 3-speed fan
-Multi electrical sockets with two USB ports
-Sitting area with a chair and books
-Picnic table with floating chandelier
-Fire pit with two chairs
-Large outdoor sink w/ two hoses

Special note: This experience is defined as camping and is a RUSTIC ranch-type stay. The yurt tent does not have air conditioning or heat. If you're looking for modern amenities like air/heat, consider staying at our award-winning tiny house, barn house, or the new western glamping huts which are also on the ranch.

The Stargazer is one of two beautiful Lotus Belle yurts we have pitched here at Cowtown Glamping Cabins. Plenty of room for two guests, and there's also an outdoor grill to prepare your favorite meal, a picnic table, and a fire pit with two chairs included. Inside the space is a comfy queen-sized bed with clean linens, a sitting area with books, and major western-boho vibes throughout.

You'll be happy to know the glampground has WIFI access so you can easily keep up with work and play along with being just minutes from popular beaches. Cowtown Cabins is centrally located being only 6 miles from the ocean with nearby restaurants, McDonald's, Starbucks, 2 grocery stores, a pharmacy nearby, and even a water park! Everything you could want will be at your fingertips!

BATHROOMS & SHOWERS

-Glamp guests have access to the OPEN outdoor hot/ cold RINSE STATION (outdoor shower) up at the stables. See pictures.
-Plan to use our FLUSHABLE portable potty with a handwashing sink. See pictures.
-Keep in mind, our NEW, year-round bathhouse is UNDER CONSTRUCTION and isn't open yet. However, keep an eye on this as it's happening soon!!

What can you expect? GLAMPING of course!! Come prepared and expect mixtures of both RUSTIC ranch camping out and glamping!
(((((((While our bathhouse is still under construction, there is access to a FLUSHABLE portable potty. See pictures to know exactly what you're signing up for. This is a RUSTIC ranch camping experience with a porta-potty!!))))) You'll also have access to running water with an outdoor sink/ hose combo and an open outdoor hot/cold shower. Again, please see the pictures so you know if this a great match for you VS. a standard hotel room.

GREAT LOCATION

Cowtown is located in Selbyville, Delaware which sits near the border of Maryland and is 6 miles to North Ocean City, MD. The property has been a horse-rescuing ranch for over two decades and is now expanding to offer many unique structures in an "Old West" theme. Surrounding the ranch are restaurants galore, grocery stores, pharmacies, McDonalds, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and more! Thunder Lagoon Waterpark and live concerts at Freeman Stage are also nearby! Cowtown Cabins is open year-round and is available for couples, families, groups, organizations, retreats, and even the occasional western-themed wedding.

We can't wait to host you at the ranch!!

FAQ's

1. Can I bring my kids? Children must be ages 12yo and up for both yurts (Stargazer & Painted Pony.) -----> Remember there is a 2-guest max

2. Can I bring my pet or service animals? No. We are ADA service animal exempt due to safety issues with animals on display that are natural prey/ natural predators of animals including dogs. We also not not allow pets due to this.

3. Can I smoke? The yurts are strictly NO smoking inside, no vaping and no marijuana smoking as the next guest will appreciate an odorless welcome and you'll avoid the extra "deep cleaning fee."

4. Which yurt should I choose? The main difference between the Painted Pony yurt and the Stargazer yurt is the roof and setting. The Stargazer yurt has a clear roof and sits in the open. (Keep in mind elements out of our control like wind, dust, and pollen counts can make the Stargazer yurt roof less clear.) The Painted Pony yurt, has a regular canvas roof and sits in the shade. Both yurts have 3-speed fans included and do not have AC or heat.

5. Extra guests in the yurt? For the 2024 season, the yurts have a strict 2-guest-only policy.

6. Can friends (not on my reservation) come visit me? No. All visitors here must be registered guests as the public is not granted access here.

7. How far is the beach? North Ocean City, MD and Fenwick Island DE are both only 6 miles away.

8. What are the bathroom details? Currently, we have a flushable portable potty. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK if you need a traditional flushing toilet as this part of the experience is a RUSTIC camping experience. We have running water at the OPEN hot/cold rinse area shower and the white outdoor utility sink w/ hose. See pictures. Again, this is part of the RUSTIC ranch stay experience vs. a hotel room. Please see pictures to best plan. Remember to bring your own bath towels & beach towels! Our new bathhouse is UNDER CONSTRUCTION and due to open soon, but until then, make sure this type of stay suits you.

9. How secure is the camping area? There is a coded entrance gate at the property entrance along with 6 outdoor security cameras that stay on 24 hours a day for guest and livestock safety. The locations are 2 at the entrance gate, barn house entrance/building overhang, tiny house entrance, horse grooming area, parking area, and inside the stables. These outdoor cameras also record at night and are available for any emergency services to review.

10. Are there animals nearby? Yes! Cowtown is named after our unique Scottish Highland bull with one horn up and one down. You'll see “Herbie” peacefully grazing in a nearby pasture along with horses, goats, an alpaca, a sheep, a rare curly-haired pig, a peacock, and fancy top-hat chickens that all call the ranch home.

11. Participating in a guest activity is mandatory here. We have FREE indoor scavenger hunts and the FREE Name Challenge memory game. Our most popular experience is "Chores N' Tour” where you meet up with Shelley to feed and get up close and personal while feeding 20+ animals. Go ahead! take selfies with Fonzie the kissing alpaca, play the rollover challenge with Charlotte the pig, and hay the jumping goats. As a bonus, Shelley will also let you check out the inside of any unoccupied Airbnbs on the property to plan your next trip! Chores N' tour is $10/ person. 1 hr. long. Also on-site, are Brush N' Bond horse grooming sessions, horse whispering lessons, and farm animal paint sessions. Once you book, send Shelley a message with your chosen ranch activity!

12. Do guests have access to the entire ranch? No, guests have access to the glampground, cornhole, and parking area here at the ranch. The rest of the property is reserved for animal pastures (habitats) and fenced off for safety. Animals are easily viewed from all locations but not touched.

13. What sounds can I expect to hear? Expect to hear typical sounds of nature such as crickets, owls, and the crackling of a fire. In the morning, you'll hear our sweet goat trio, Charlotte the pig, and her excited "oinks" along with the occasional "moooo" and possibly a crow from the rooster and a "honk" from Petey our peacock who is ready for breakfast!

14. What are the check-out procedures? We ask that guests leave the yurt the way they found it (neat and tidy.) We also love to brag about any super clean guests!
