The space
“And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul.”
- John Muir

If there’s one place we go above all others when we need to relax it’s the forest. You could say we were lovers of forest bathing before that was even a thing!

Walking between old and new trees is almost meditative and something we try to do at least once a day. It’s pretty much the antidote to stress, and we always come out happier than we went in.

“Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill.”
- John Muir

Enjoy dwelling and sleeping in a woods cabin with access to acres more of walking trails. The sunrise cabin will be waiting for you You'll be able to walk among wild blueberries, mosses, lichens and huckleberries, spruce, pine, fir on the property.
