Our Story
Founded in 2018 by Jerry Lee Jr, OED Tiny Homes and Glamping Retreat Developments began with a simple vision: to create extraordinary outdoor experiences that connect people with nature while providing sustainable, luxury accommodations.

Today, we specialize in developing and managing luxury glamping retreats that offer investors attractive returns while providing guests with unforgettable experiences in some of the most beautiful natural settings in Alabama and beyond.
