From Backyard Tent to Thriving Glamping Brand: The Monument Glamping Story

In this episode, Sarah Riley talks with Chris Jeub of Monument Glamping… a familiar name in the industry and one of the early voices helping landowners turn beautiful properties into outdoor hospitality businesses. Chris shares the remarkable story of how a simple idea in 2019, of moving his bedroom into a hunting tent during a home remodel, unexpectedly became a fully-fledged glamping operation that now spans two properties and dozens of permitted units.

Together, Sarah and Chris dive into the realities behind building a glamping business from scratch: navigating county regulations, dealing with neighbour complaints, expanding with container homes and turning backyard tents into a six-figure enterprise. Chris also explains the powerful mindset shift that allowed him to reposition his offering, double his nightly rates and transform Monument Glamping into an experience-led brand rooted in reconnection and simplicity.

If you’re curious about organic growth, overcoming regulatory hurdles or how everyday landowners can create profitable, meaningful glamping stays, this episode is packed with honest insights, hard-earned lessons and plenty of inspiration.
