How does one describe a feeling of peace that transcends the physical and inhabits every part of your being? Simply sublime, a feast for your senses! I celebrated my 50th birthday at Elements. From the first moment I arrived, I knew this was going to be a life-changing place. It was important to me that my party venue have the perfect balance of tranquility, beauty, nature, style, comfort, and luxury; Elements did not disappoint. In fact, it far exceeded my expectations. Michael, the owner is a delightful person. He addressed all my questions and concerns and was extremely helpful when it came to suggesting local activities, restaurants and favorite shops. He magically merged rustic beauty with sophisticated style. I wanted a place where I could entertain my friends in luxury and comfort, and give them the feeling of being in a secluded forest setting enchanted by the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains, and towering redwoods, yet provide them all the “creature comforts” of a spa resort where they could relax and unwind. We also enjoyed Austin Creek’s many swimming holes, just a short walk from the property. True to its namesake, Michael created a perfect blend of all nature’s elements: wood, water, earth, fire, and air. Whether you are looking for solitude, intimacy, celebration or assembly, Elements provides a full spectrum of experiences. I can’t wait to return!
