Own a Ferncrest Glamping Franchise
Bring the comfort of home to the great outdoors with fully-equipped dome accommodations guests love.
Brand overview
Ferncrest began when Brian and Joanna set up a handful of domes in the Pocono Mountains, driven by a belief that nature should feel welcoming, not intimidating. That simple idea resonated with travelers who wanted the outdoors without the packing list, the setup, or the compromise. Today Ferncrest is a growing family of locations across the country, each one offering guests real beds, soft linens, climate control, mini fridges, private fire pits, and clean bathhouses. Guests show up empty-handed and settle into a space that already feels like home. The brand has expanded from one location in 2023 to three in 2025, with demand continuing to build around a hospitality model that removes every barrier between people and the outdoors.

Why choose Ferncrest
Ferncrest stands apart by removing everything intimidating about camping while keeping everything people love about being outside. Guests arrive to fully outfitted domes with no gear, no setup, and no roughing it. That turnkey experience drives strong word-of-mouth, repeat bookings, and broad appeal across couples, families, and groups traveling with pets. For franchise owners, the model is built around real estate and hospitality operations rather than complex supply chains or fragile technology. The concept taps into sustained consumer interest in outdoor travel, experiential stays, and nature-based getaways. With a clear service blueprint, a distinctive physical product, and a brand voice that feels human and warm, Ferncrest gives operators a differentiated offering in a competitive short-term-stay market.
