While the word "glamping"—that's "glamour" plus "camping"—is an atrocity, this here thing sounds fantastic. Take it away, press release:

LAKEDALE RESORT WELCOMES JAMES BEARD AWARD-WINNING CHEFS TO GO “GOURMET GLAMPING”

Maria Hines, Holly Smith to Head North, Show There’s S’More to Campfire Food than Graham Crackers, Marshmallows, and Chocolate Bars

FRIDAY HARBOR, WA – June 2, 2013 – Seattle-based chefs Maria Hines (Tilth, Agrodolce, Golden Beetle) and Holly Smith (Café Juanita) have been friends for years. Now, the two James Beard Award-winning superstar chefs are going “gourmet glamping” in Washington State’s San Juan Islands.

Each has signed on to host an evening of fireside gourmet cooking as part of Lakedale Resort’s Gourmet Glamping series. Hines will headline July 13 with help from renowned pastry chef Sue McCown. Smith takes center stage a month later, August 10.

For guests, the Gourmet Glamping experience starts at $448 and includes meals from the weekend’s guest chef, a cooking class for two, and a two-night stay in one of Lakedale Resort’s “glampsites” – luxury canvas cabins available in four models to accommodate groups of all sizes.

Each 225 sq. ft. standard canvas cabin features one queen bed with pillow-top bedding, cotton sheets, pillows and a flannel duvet, a table and four chairs, a cordless lantern, storage, and bath linens, as well as a full-size futon that sleeps two...

Lakedale's duplex canvas cabin is ideal for two families vacationing together and offers two side-by-side canvas cabins for easy socializing but with separate living spaces.

The canvas bunkhouse is a 450 sq. ft. canvas cabin with two queen beds and a full-size futon that sleeps two – perfect for groups up to six.

For large groups, the canvas cottage is an ideal offering. This over-the-top glamping experience features a king bed, personal full-size bathroom, gorgeous chandelier, electricity and a cozy lakeside setting.

Regardless of which cabin guests choose, they will be treated to Lakedale Resort’s “Toasty Toes” turndown service. Each night resort staff delivers two fleece-covered hot water bottles to toast guests’ toes and fend off any late night chill.
