				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe it&#8217;s a new trend this Glamping thing! <a href="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/TMH-Breakfast-Table-6_10_007.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1163 alignleft" title="TMH Breakfast Table 6_10_007" src="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/TMH-Breakfast-Table-6_10_007-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></a><a href="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/Bohemian-Bungalow-5_11_0051.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1167" title="Bohemian Bungalow 5_11_005" src="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/Bohemian-Bungalow-5_11_0051-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>The word comes from the combination of Glamor and Camping. We started glamping 3 years ago with our luxury Windsor sleeping tents from India as the highlight of our unique B&amp;B in the Georgia Mountains. Now it seems glamping is popping up everywhere:) i could go into the history of Africa and the English but really i want to talk about what we have learned in these few years about why you should glamp!<a href="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/TMH-Guests-8_27_11_031.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1160" title="TMH Guests 8_27_11_031" src="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/TMH-Guests-8_27_11_031-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a></p>
<p>We now realize that there are a vast amount of people who have NEVER camped..yes its true. They did not grow up going to camp grounds with their parents. Instead they went to fancy resorts like Disney world <img src='http://themartynhouse.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  booooo <a href="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/TMH-Kevin_30.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1161" title="TMH Kevin_30" src="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/TMH-Kevin_30-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>These folks do not know about unloading the car and setting up base camp. Pitching a tent, getting jugs of water down by the creek for washing dishes,face and  brushing teeth. They are unfamiliar with  hanging the lanterns and tying the food up so bears cannot get it. They do not know how fun a midnight run to the outhouse is or forging through the woods gathering kindling for hours just so you can have a campfire that night with samores of course !!!YEAH&#8230;.now mind you I was 8 when I did this and I LOVED it.</p>
<p>I must admit I still love the idea of throwing my backpack on and wandering into the woods until I just cannot hike any further and stop and set up camp. But then again a quick walk up the ridge behind our house and into Bohemian Bungalow is now giving me that same satisfaction:)<a href="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/TMH-Kevin_9.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1162 alignleft" title="TMH Kevin_9" src="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/TMH-Kevin_9-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This is what we know for sure-</p>
<p>Our guests are not allowed to drive up to their tents they must make that wonderful walk through the woods which is often their first experience of disconnecting. Amazing what a walk amongst trees can do to a persons spirit.<a href="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/Bohemian-Bungalow-5_11_056.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1172" title="Bohemian Bungalow 5_11_056" src="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/Bohemian-Bungalow-5_11_056-300x210.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>TMH glamping allows people to go into nature but not too far from home and check out (this means leave the cell phone and computer in the car-we highly recommend this!) and be in NATURE</p>
<p>Couples often just hang out on their front porch and talk and talk  just like they used to during their hot dating era:)</p>
<p>Every night our bonfires entice our guests to come down from their tents to join the other guests and share their lives with one another -we call it the  bonfire experience and of course samores!</p>
<p>Evenings listening to the owls hoot and other sounds of nature while snug in your king size bed with fine linens and down comforters now &#8230;that&#8217;s GLAMPING.</p>
<p>Walking hand in hand with your significant other down from the ridge to breakfast the next morning often we are told this has not happened in many years for some..i love that!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re told its the best sleep many have had in years!</p>
<p>our guests days are spent lounging, napping, playing croquet, or horseshoes. Late afternoons are shared with a glass of wine on the porch. <a href="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/Bohemian-Bungalow-5_11_0191.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1165 alignleft" title="Bohemian Bungalow 5_11_019" src="http://themartynhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/Bohemian-Bungalow-5_11_0191-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Our guests arrive wound up from the lives they left behind, whether its from raising kids, corporate jobs, or pressures of day to day routines. We like to think we give them a small bit of peace and quiet while they stay here at TMH. We in return get to have new friends all over the country and world now that we have connected with, shared our dream with and hopefully passed on a little bit of hope that life can be all this and more!</p>
<p>Its called Glamping&#8230;because its all the benefits of camping without all those reasons your parents did not take you camping when you were smaller&#8230;its never too late!</p>
