The incredible pine tree outside my cabin returned me to a place of joy!"

"We had an absolute amazing experience! The retreat was quiet and calm, exactly what we needed to get away from craziness of life and connect to each other and nature. Truly delicious meals each day! Not to mention the trails and natural spring that you can get water from for the day. I cannot recommend this place enough!"

"Loved the seclusion here, the outdoor showers, and the fire pit."
--Nathaniel
"What a fantastic gem of a property! A few of my girlfriends and I spent the weekend for a mini girls' retreat. The accommodations were absolutely fantastic. The well-designed outdoor showers offer privacy, comfort, and a wonderful "outdoor" experience. We were all so enamored by the vision of Trista and her husband. Beautiful carpentry work in all the buildings and had everything we needed for the weekend. We loved the location and recommend a trip to Cherry Valley and Cooperstown. Could not have been more thrilled with our experience. Highly recommend!"
--Carlie
