This charming retreat was the perfect digital detox that my group needed! We had the best time with our host and really loved the edible tour we took through the woods and learning more about the land. Thank you so much to Dustin and Raven for providing such a wonderful space for all of us.

Our group of women had an incredible stay here for Labor Day weekend! Raven went above and beyond, she spent over an hour talking with us about the property and the surrounding area, and you could tell she genuinely cares about her guests having a great experience. The location is unbeatable: secluded on 58 gorgeous acres so you feel totally tucked away, but only about 30 minutes from town when you need a grocery run, and close to all the caves and main attractions. Check-in was a breeze and the lodge was spotless. They also have the cutest dog peanut that would visit us sometimes. We couldn't have asked for a better spot for our group getaway. Highly recommend! We will certainly be back for a retreat!

Lovely stay and incredible hosts and amenities. We had an issue with the hot tub and they fixed it right away. We did a sound bath and they even catered our first meal for us. The lodge itself is beautiful. The perfect visit for our team of 6!
