Why a private backyard after an outdoor show
Outdoor shows mean warm evenings. The next day, the private pool (optional heat), included hot tub and shaded covered patio give the group an easy recovery day, with the pickleball court and putting green for anyone with energy left.
Rooming a concert group of 16
Two guests in each of the four king bedrooms makes eight, and the bunk room's two full-over-full bunk beds sleep the other eight.
Plan your stay
- Confirm the show date and tickets with the venue or official ticket seller.
