Space to Wander

Haven Forest is more than a place to sleep. It's a private natural playground where mornings begin beside the water, afternoons lead down winding trails, and evenings end around the fire.

Explore the lake, follow the trail down to a seasonal waterfall and rock wall, relax beneath the pergola, or simply find a quiet place beneath the trees. There is no schedule here—only room to breathe, reconnect and explore at your own pace.

THIRTY PRIVATE ACRES

Your Retreat Begins Beyond the Front Door

Every part of Haven Forest offers a different way to slow down.  Follow the trails, spend time beside the water, gather around the fire or make the Farmhouse your comfortable home base.

Trails & Woodland

Wander through 30 private acres of forest along natural trails that connect the Farmhouse, lake, pergola and waterfall area. Take a quiet morning walk, explore with the family or find your own secluded corner beneath the canopy.

The Farmhouse Cabin

A spacious five-bedroom retreat for up to 12 guests, the Farmhouse brings everyone together while still providing room to spread out. It is the comfortable home base for everything waiting outside.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN KIND OF ESCAPE

There is no single way to experience Haven Forest. Fill the day with adventure, gather with the people you love or do almost nothing at all.

01

Walk the Trails

Follow the property’s wooded paths toward the lake, pergola and seasonal waterfall area.

02

Gather by the Fire

Settle into Adirondack chairs around the firepit for stories, s’mores and evenings beneath the trees.

03

Spend Time on the Water

Fish, swim or sit quietly beside the private lake as the forest reflects around you.

04

Discover the Waterfall

Walk approximately a quarter mile to the seasonal waterfall and rock wall area. Water flow varies with rainfall and season, making every visit different.

05

Dine Outdoors

Share breakfast, dinner or a slow afternoon beneath the covered outdoor dining area.

06

Play & Reconnect

Enjoy yard games, board games, retro Nintendo and plenty of room for kids and adults to spend time together.

Farmhouse Cabin

12 guests | 5 bedrooms | 7 beds | 3 full bathrooms
