Whether you're here to unwind or adventure, there's a world to discover on the property and just minutes away.
On the Property
Forty acres of forest with intentional details around every corner — you don't have to leave to find something wonderful.
The Makerspace
Located in the basement of the A-Frame, this one-of-a-kind creative room is stocked with art supplies, a reading arch, and journaling materials. Guests are encouraged to make something, share it with #NWmakerspace, and leave feeling creatively refreshed.

Every cabin has its own private fire pit. Stoke the flames, roast marshmallows, watch the sparks rise into a sky full of stars. Extra firewood is always available in The Shed.
