The Hygge House - Respite in the forest

Escape into nature and experience the warm embrace of hygge (HYOO-gah) - a Danish word that describes a deep feeling of well-being. Nestled in a tranquil natural setting, our home is a sanctuary for slow living, rest, and fostering connection. The soft furnishings and natural light make this the perfect place to savor some of the simple pleasures of life - fresh baked cookies, a nap in our oversized deck hammock and meaningful conversation. Our hope is that you leave renewed. 12mi to Downtown
