Life’s Better Offline: Go Glamping in a Treehouse in Tanay

Let’s be honest. Most weekends, we’re just scrolling until our eyes hurt. Same malls, same coffee shops, same cycle. Then we complain life feels boring. Maybe what you need isn’t another overpriced latte. Maybe you need to go offline and try glamping.

If camping feels too much like punishment, glamping is the glow-up. You still get the outdoorsy vibe but without the itchy beds, sketchy bathrooms, and random mosquito bites. This campsite in Tanay, Rizal actually makes the whole thing worth it. Imagine swapping your sad tent for a glass teepee where you can watch the stars from bed. Or a treehouse that runs on solar power, giving you eco-friendly bragging rights without sacrificing your phone charger. Suddenly, camping doesn’t sound like punishment anymore

That’s exactly what Two Rivers Teepees and Treehouse in Tanay is all about. Forget the usual camping trauma where you wake up with mosquito scars, a sore back from a hard bed, and the smell of instant noodles in your hair. This place stands out from other campsites. You get glass teepees where you can actually stargaze in bed, plus a solar-powered treehouse that feels straight out of a dreamy cottagecore TikTok. And it’s only a short drive from Manila.

Here’s a plot twist. This place wasn’t built for clout or business. Owner Jun Lao created the 1,000sqm riverside property during the pandemic as his family’s private escape. While most of us were rage-tweeting or crying over Zoom classes, his family was chilling in a solar-powered treehouse. Imagine living that soft and slow life.

Then a friend told him to open it to others. Fast forward to today and more than a thousand families have already tried it. What used to be a private getaway is now one of the most talked about glamping spots near Manila.

The glass teepees are the main draw. You don’t need to climb mountains or fight for a sunrise spot. You just lie in bed while the sky performs for you. Sunrise, fog, stars, all visible without leaving your blanket. Then there’s the solar-powered treehouse. It’s not just eco-friendly. It’s comfy, it’s unique, and it saves you from the sad reality of regular tents that collapse or smell weird after rain.

Since the whole property is off-grid, the noise disappears too. No tricycles passing by, no karaoke until 2AM, no neon lights killing your view. Just rivers, mountains, and a silence so pure it feels fake.

After one weekend here, malls and the same beaches will feel repetitive. This is the kind of trip that actually resets you. You breathe better, sleep longer, and for once, you’re not worried about notifications or mosquito bites. Even just staring at the sky feels like a flex.

It’s not luxury with champagne and butlers, but it’s also not roughing it out with hard floors and questionable bathrooms. It’s that sweet spot between comfort and nature, and that balance is addictive.
