Stay in our A-Frame

A Cozy Forest Retreat for Rest, Creativity, and Reconnection

Surrounded by 67 acres of forest and neighboring protected land, it’s the perfect place to unplug, reset, and experience the beauty of intentional living, without needing to commit long-term.

Thoughtfully furnished for comfort and simplicity, the A-frame includes a cozy bed, a dedicated desk setup for writing or remote work, and dresser storage, creating a space that feels both grounding and quietly inspiring.

Whether you’re seeking a personal retreat, a creative recharge, or a unique mountain getaway, this space offers a balance of privacy, simplicity, and connection.
