About
Our story
What began as our family’s dream has grown into a gathering place for others to recharge, celebrate, and experience the balance we found when we chose this land and this life.
In 2024, we traded the hustle of the DC Metro suburbs for the quiet beauty of Highland County, Virginia—the least populated county east of the Mississippi. With our four kids, we set out to build a life with more space to breathe, grow, and connect.
On 200 acres of rolling hills and open skies, we found exactly what we were looking for. What began as a family dream has become a gathering place for others to experience the same peace, freedom, and natural beauty that drew us here. Our vision has come to life, and we’re honored to share it with you.
Our partners
Behind every event and retreat we host is a passionate team that feels more like family. Each of our partners brings unique talents, passions, and experiences to the table—but what we all share is a love for this land and a commitment to creating meaningful experiences for our guests. Together, we combine creativity, hospitality, and a down-to-earth spirit to make every gathering here memorable.
