About this property
The Retreat-a stay that refuses to be ordinary!
Welcome to a stay that refuses to be ordinary!
The Retreat is part cozy retreat, part choose-your-own-adventure. Scattered across the landscape are four charming chalets—each one a little slice of luxury in the woods. Every chalet features a kitchenette, outdoor dining space, refreshing outdoor shower, private fire pit, and stunning brow views that practically beg you to slow down and stay awhile. Two chalets come with indoor plumbing (all four chalets offer an outdoor shower complete with amazing views), while the other two invite you to embrace a slightly more “rustic chic” experience (don’t worry—it’s all part of the fun).
And then… there’s The Garage.
Don’t let the name fool you—this is the heart of the property and where the magic happens. Think full kitchen, two bathrooms (one with a shower), a comfy living area with seating, TV, and an electric fireplace for those cozy nights in. It’s the ultimate hangout space for group meals, late-night laughs, rainy-day lounging, or planning your next adventure. There’s even a separate bunk area that sleeps up to six more guests—perfect for kids, friends, or anyone who doesn’t mind a little slumber-party energy.
When it’s time to gather under the stars, the retreat also features a large communal fire pit area—perfect for swapping stories, roasting marshmallows, and ending the day together with a view you won’t forget.
Whether you’re gathering the whole crew, hosting a retreat, or just looking for a place that’s a little different (in the best way), this property blends comfort, character, and just the right amount of quirk.
Come for the views, stay for the vibe—and maybe argue a little over who gets which chalet.
Here’s a breakdown of the space:
The Garage: fully equipped kitchen, living room area with electric fireplace, smart TV & cozy seating, washer/dryer, 1.5 baths, bunkroom with additional seating & 2 sets of bunkbeds, large area with tables for group meals, meetings, games/puzzles, large fire pit with brow views
