About this property

Exclusive Villa with NYC Harbor & Skyline Views

Sleep under the stars with the NYC skyline in the background. Your luxe tent sits on peaceful Governors Island—just a short ferry ride from Manhattan, but it feels like a world away.

With a plush bed, private deck, and access to curated dining, this isn’t camping—it’s an unforgettable NYC escape, reimagined.
