Summary:
Wildland Retreat is the intimate companion to our signature Wildland Wellness Sanctuary, offering the same peaceful creekside setting in a thoughtfully curated retreat for couples, solo travelers, and small groups. Stargaze by the fire in our Fairy Glen, luxuriate in the King Wellness Suite, soak in the hot tub beneath towering pines, and reconnect with nature beside historic Strawberry Creek.
The Space:
Welcome to Wildland Retreat—an intimate version of our signature Wildland Wellness Sanctuary. The Retreat occupies the private lower level of the home. The upper level is a separate private residence with its own entrance and is occasionally occupied by the owner and her friendly dog and cat during guest stays. There are no shared guest spaces, and Retreat guests enjoy exclusive use of the hot tub, and all outdoor amenities included with the listing.
To help preserve the peaceful atmosphere of Wildland Sanctuary for everyone on the property, guests traveling with dogs should ensure their pets are comfortable around the scent and occasional sounds of other animals. If your dog is highly reactive to cats or other pets, this retreat may not be the best fit. It should also be noted this space is not suitable for children under 12.
