Our Story
About The Owl's Altered Estate

Welcome to The Owl’s Altered Estate, where nature, comfort, and a little bit of magic come together to create an unforgettable stay.

Hosted and lovingly curated by Lea Latendresse, The Owl’s Altered Estate was designed with one goal in mind: to offer a truly elevated glamping experience that allows guests to unplug from the ordinary without giving up the comforts that matter most. Nestled on peaceful acreage in Camden, Tennessee, our property invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.

Here, luxury meets the outdoors. From thoughtfully designed accommodations to modern amenities like climate control, high-speed WiFi, and private bathroom facilities, every detail has been considered so you can relax the moment you arrive. Whether you’re drifting off to sleep to the calls of native owls, sipping morning coffee by the pond, or gathering around the fire pit under the stars, each stay is crafted to feel both indulgent and grounding.

The Owl’s Altered Estate offers unique lodging options tailored to different travel styles and occasions—from the enchanting Owl’s Nest Luxury Camping experience to the sleek and comfortable Wise Wanderer Winnebago. No matter which you choose, you’ll enjoy access to beautiful natural surroundings, tranquil water views, and space to explore, paddle, fish, or simply do nothing at all.

More than just a place to stay, The Owl’s Altered Estate is a place to feel. It’s for weekend escapes, romantic getaways, creative retreats, and memory-making moments. It’s for guests who appreciate thoughtful design, quiet luxury, and the healing power of nature.

We’re so glad you’re here—and we can’t wait to welcome you to your altered state of relaxation.

Meet Lea Latendresse

Lea Latendresse is the heart behind The Owl’s Altered Estate and the thoughtful host who brings its glamping experience to life. A Camden native, Lea spent time in Nashville after graduating from Belmont University, where she worked in a large marketing firm and gained the creative and organizational skills that now shape every detail of the property.

While her career took her away for a time, home was always calling. Lea returned to Camden to be closer to family and to create something meaningful—an elevated outdoor retreat that reflects her love for nature, creativity, and connection. That vision became The Owl’s Altered Estate, a luxury glamping destination designed to help guests slow down, recharge, and feel genuinely cared for.

Outside of hosting, Lea is deeply connected to the outdoors and enjoys camping, wild crafting, and creating handmade bath bombs and sugar scrubs just for fun. She’s also known for her dedication to wellness—fun fact: she’s obsessed with arm balances and inversions—and still has a soft spot for her high school favorite, Yellow Ledbetter.

Lea is passionate about supporting local businesses and community, having also worked at the local radio station and maintained strong ties to Camden’s small-town spirit. Most of all, she takes pride in going the extra mile for every guest, ensuring each glamping stay feels personal, intentional, and truly one of a kind.

When you stay at The Owl’s Altered Estate, you’re not just booking a getaway—you’re being welcomed into a space created with heart.
