The Hilltop Escape is especially ideal because of its privacy. This timber-frame chalet is surrounded by over four acres of lush forest. The size ensures an intimate setting, with a maximum of 12 guests.
In line with their core belief that everyone should have the chance to experience the positive impact of yoga and wellness, they offer a range of accommodations at different prices, including private and shared rooms and bathrooms. Bring a friend and share the master suite or come alone and bunk with new friends.
The grand stone fireplace and hot tub seal the deal, giving you space to enjoy the peace and serenity. Hiking trails and waterfalls abound in the surrounding region, providing plenty of opportunities to relax and reboot. In the end, the location makes this retreat special and personal.
