A short walk through the trees from the main lodge — your own clearing, your own creek frontage, your own kitchen. Bring your groceries; we'll bring the firewood.
Forest Cottage was built four years after the main lodge, on a piece of the property where the canopy comes down low and the creek bends back on itself. You can't see the lodge from the cottage. You can barely see the next cottage. Most guests don't, the whole time they're here.
The kitchen is a proper one — gas stove, full oven, espresso machine, knives that have been sharpened more than once. There's a small dining table for two by the window, a wood-burning fireplace in the living area, and a covered deck with a hammock at one end and a writing chair at the other.
It's self-catering by design, not by accident. If you want dinner at the lodge you're a five-minute walk away — book ahead and Anita will set a table for you. If you want to cook for yourselves, we can put a starter pack in the fridge before you arrive (just ask). Most guests do a mix: cook a long lunch, walk to the lodge for dinner.
Forest Cottage sleeps two comfortably. There's space for a third on a roll-out bed, often used by a teenage child or a friend who couldn't say no to coming along.
The southwest corner of the property, deepest in the trees. Five minutes' walk to the lodge along the main trail — longer if you wander, which you will. Closest to the creek's main bend.
"Booked Forest Cottage twice in 2025. The seclusion is the point — you genuinely forget you're at a lodge. The kitchen is better than ours at home."
"We cooked one night, ate at the lodge the other two. Best of both worlds. The hammock on the deck got more use than the bed (almost)."
"If you want to disappear from your phone for three days, this is the place. The WiFi is patchy and that's a feature, not a bug."
Self-catering, deeply private, perfect for two. The cottage that gets booked again, and again.
