Come up the hill.
Stay a few days.
Four cabins on sixty wooded acres, a wood-fired sauna, and a strong recommendation that you leave your laptop at home.

The Retreat
We built four cabins and left the rest of the woods alone.
Spruce & Birch began as a woodlot nobody had logged in fifty years. We put in four small buildings, a sauna, six miles of footpath, and stopped there on purpose.
There is no restaurant, no front desk, and no schedule. Bread and specialty coffee arrive at your door each morning; everything else is up to you.
The Cabins
Four, and no more than four.
The Stay
What a few days here actually looks like.
The sauna
Wood-fired and cedar-lined, reserved in one-hour blocks so the room is always yours alone. An hour is long enough to stop thinking about the week you came from, and the stove is lit before you arrive.
The cold plunge
A cedar barrel on the deck just outside the sauna door, spring-fed and kept somewhere near fifty degrees all year. Fifteen seconds is plenty the first time, and nobody is watching if you skip it.
Morning Bread and Coffee
A basket at your door before eight: sourdough from the bakery in town, butter, and last summer's jam. Beside it, single-origin beans ground that morning, Ethiopian this season, and a pour-over kit.
Guests
“We slept nine hours a night, which has not happened since our first child. The bread at the door is a small thing that feels enormous.”
Renee & Paul H. · Two nights in Hollow
“Booked Ridge for our anniversary expecting a nice view. Did not expect to sit on that deck for four hours without saying much.”
Dana W. · Three nights in Ridge
“Our kids claimed the loft in Spruce within about nine seconds. It rained the whole weekend and nobody minded.”
