There's something undeniably alluring about the great outdoors. The lush greenery, the vast expanse of sky, the peace and tranquility - it's no wonder that camping is a beloved pastime for many. But for those who crave a touch of luxury in their outdoor adventures, glamping (a blend of 'glamorous' and 'camping') is the way to go.

On our recent podcast episode, we had the pleasure of talking to Missy, the visionary entrepreneur behind Daydreamer Domes, an exciting glamping project in South Haven, Michigan. A few years ago, she dreamt of escaping the corporate world to create a unique, luxurious glamping experience. Today, she's turning that dream into a reality.

From Corporate to Camping

Missy's journey from a corporate refugee to a visionary entrepreneur is a fascinating one. Having spent years in medical sales for Fortune 100 and Fortune 50 companies, Missy felt a strong desire for something different. A camping aficionado herself, she saw the potential in glamping and was ready to put her creative energy into building a unique glamping experience.

A Vision Turned Reality

Her vision involved transforming an old golf course into a stunning resort with 150 acres of land, 21 domes, a 5,000 square foot clubhouse, and countless amenities. The result is an impressive mid-century modern clubhouse complete with terrace seating, a conversation pit, and a unique aesthetic that's sure to wow visitors.

The journey wasn't without its challenges. Missy faced numerous obstacles, including strict building codes and a complex permitting process. But through determination and creativity, she has been able to create a one-of-a-kind glamping destination.

The Future of Glamping

As for the future of glamping, Missy reveals plans to launch the project this summer. She's got promotional campaigns in store, along with exciting amenities like a pool and ticketed events.

Her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs? Make a budget, understand your market, and build something that matches the price point you're hoping to achieve. Most importantly, do things right the first time. Whether it's following building codes or understanding the complexities of land development, taking the time to do things properly will pay off in the long run.

In the end, Missy's journey is a testament to the power of passion and determination. By following her dream and putting in the hard work, she's created a unique glamping experience that promises to inspire and delight.
