Wonderful gathering of family and friends

We rented the Eco Lodge in July '23 for 4 nights and had a wonderful gathering of family and friends. It's a very unique and inspiring property that was perfect for our needs. Micah, who lives on the property in another unit, was the perfect host, going out of his way to make sure our gathering was everything we could have hoped for. His friendly demeanor and generosity with his time and knowledge was appreciated by everyone in our group. We would highly recommend the property for anyone looking for a unique experience in a beautiful setting.

Humbled

Incredibly inspiring stay and a wonderful weekend connecting with close friends. The kitchen was the hub, fueling the relaxation and all the surrounding nooks and cozy corners were filled with laughs and conversation. The level of intention around the space, between the architecture, garden, Sims watercolors and the library collection had everyone in the group so humbled. There is an immediate level of peacefulness to the land with its views. We were all glowing from the experience leaving with a creative boost. I want to thank Micah for being an excellent host and sharing the space with us. TruIy hope to make it back someday.
