Revitalize

Tuning in to the soothing effects of water can help us find wellness as we restore our relationship with Nature and our inner selves. Revitalize with a plunge under the waterfalls, or take a daily swim in the lightly mineralized waters of Siwash Lake — followed by a soak in the wood-fired cedar hot tub. After a day of adventure on the ranch, kayak to our floating hammock for a re-energizing nap before dinner.

Find Synergy with a Horse

Indulge your wild and free spirit by connecting with a beautiful, gentle ranch horse. Get to know each other with some preliminary horsemanship rituals at the barn — a meditation before riding. Then settle into the saddle, become one with your horse, and go exploring in Nature together.

Yoga in Nature

At this remarkably remote, wild retreat, enjoy highly personalized guided yoga sessions in the great outdoors to connect you with the rhythms and healing powers of Nature. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or you've never tried it before, all abilities and ages are welcome.

Hike in the Wild

Hike in our back country to quiet your mind and invigorate your body. Hiking adventures with a private guide include leisurely grassland walks, half-day routes that explore the rugged rangeland surrounding Siwash Lake, and an epic alpine adventure to the summit of a 7,000 ft. mountain. Gentle, rolling terrain makes for a very pleasant level of exertion, while greater distances, elevation, and duration can provide a rigorous workout for those seeking fitness benefits.

You'll enjoy the natural healing properties of our botanical oil infusions, handmade from native plants harvested at Siwash Lake. Our signature facial treatment features delectable skin care products by Éminence Organics.
