Mom Boss/Glamping Retreat Owner | Little Village Retreat
After dedicating 16 years to nurturing her family as a stay-at-home mom, Diane DeLaMare Bealer ventured into entrepreneurship with a clothing boutique, where she honed her skills in business management and customer relations for two years. About five years ago, she and her husband boldly made the decision to sell their home and open a glamping resort. Today, Diane is proud to have established the first glamping resort in Iron County. Diane has prioritized community engagement through hosting events and collaborating with other women-owned glamping resort owners. She is firmly committed to the belief that a rising tide lifts all ships and is determined to play a pivotal role in elevating the Iron County community.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Working outside, creating, building, decorating, and watching people connect and make memories at our property. It’s important that my business also be a source of peace, not just anxiety.
What is an accomplishment you’re very proud of?
Looking at the beautiful place we created, I am reminded that we built something from nothing. We quite literally started with dirt, and now we have an operating glamping retreat. I’m still in awe of the miracles and “village” of community members, friends and family who helped us accomplish these goals and pitched in even when it was hard. We couldn’t have built this without their willingness and determination. To Main Page
