Convincing your grandma to go glamping (glamorous camping) may not be as hard as you think. If she stays at Asheville River Cabins along the French Broad River, she won’t be roughing it.
Here are some tips to help you persuade her:
- Highlight Comfort: Emphasize that glamping is not like traditional camping. It involves luxurious accommodations such as comfortable beds, electricity, and sometimes even private bathrooms. Let her know she can enjoy the beauty of nature without sacrificing comfort.
- Nature Without Roughing It: Assure her that glamping allows her to experience nature without dealing with the inconveniences of traditional camping. There are often amenities like hot showers and cozy furnishings in glamping sites.
- Choose the Right Location: Find a glamping site in a location she loves, like Asheville, North Carolina. The scenic mountain landscape, collection of waterfalls, and breathtaking vistas will undoubtedly have a place on her bucket list.
- Emphasize Safety: If safety concerns are holding her back, assure her that glamping sites prioritize security. Asheville River Cabins has on-site staff and security measures to ensure the well-being of guests.
- Appeal to Their Interests: Highlight any activities or amenities at the glamping site that align with her hobbies or interests. Whether it’s bird watching, hiking, or stargazing, show her how the glamping experience can cater to her preferences.
- Share Positive Stories: Share positive experiences from others who have gone glamping, especially those who are of a similar age. Real-life stories and testimonials can be persuasive and help alleviate any concerns she might have.
- Offer to Plan Together: Offer to plan the glamping trip together. Involve her in the decision-making process. Asheville River Cabins has a broad collection of airstreams and cabins to suit her tastes. We are known for our clean and comfortable cabins that have modern amenities with tasteful decor and high quality furnishings. This can make her feel more in control and excited about the experience.
- Address Concerns: If she has specific concerns, listen to them and address each one. Whether it’s worries about bugs, discomfort, or safety, provide solutions and information to alleviate her fears. Gathering together with the family along the river will be her favorite part. When she’s ready to retreat, her cabin will be waiting for her, the porch during the day and a warm bed at night.
- Make it a Family Event: If possible, suggest making the glamping trip a family event. Knowing that her loved ones will be with her can make the experience more appealing and enjoyable.
- Create a Trial Experience: If she’s still unsure, propose a shorter glamping experience. This way, she can get a taste of the glamping lifestyle without committing to an extended stay. A new family tradition is on the horizon!
Seeing her family at their best will ignite her impulse to travel. The memories she will make and the pictures she will gather are worth stepping into something new. Our friendly staff at Asheville River Cabins are at hand to curate her experience with local recommendations for shopping and dining in the surrounding areas.
