Explore 200 beautiful acres, a tiny lake, & forest trails.

Gather loved ones or go solo to our resort garden, 2 separate outdoor venues, watch starry skies, enjoy wildlife & fun on-site activities, come experience the forest and quality time to disconnect from your everyday life and connect with your loved ones. We'd love to have you!

A little old fashioned. . . By design.

Allow space to carve out wholesome, connected time with your loved ones. There is no WIFI, spotty reception & no cable TV. Pass the time with board games, old DVD movies, yard games, walks, scavenger hunts, spotting wildlife, foraging, barbecuing, napping, reading, writing, photography and unplugging. A little playground, old-school 4 square with a basketball hoop, or toss horseshoes to pass the time. We'd love to have you!
