Land Betterment Corporation has expanded its glamping offerings through its portfolio company, ekō Solutions, at Poplar Point Lakeside Park in Athens, Alabama. These new accommodations are created from up-cycled shipping containers originally used in Kentucky tornado relief efforts. The experience offers travelers a unique and sustainable lodging option amidst a countryside resort-style community.
Since launching in May 2023, ekō Solutions has responded to growing demand for distinctive lodging experiences by gradually increasing its glamping units to eleven. The units, branded as ekō Outpost, cater to travelers seeking alternatives to traditional hotels. Amenities include bass fishing at nearby lakes and access to onsite facilities such as a pool, general store, and lounge area.
Popular units include the Cozy Crimson Cottage Container and the Cozy Rustic Blue Container Cottage, each blending sustainable design with modern comfort.
