Start with the view.
French press coffee, birdsong and enough quiet to let the morning decide its own pace.

THE LAUREL
Some weekends need
less on the itinerary.
The Laurel is designed around the simple luxury of having nowhere else you need to be.
Start with French press coffee and mountain air. Take the morning slowly, then let the day unfold between the private hot tub, the open-air shower and the quiet of the deck.
When evening arrives, make dinner, try your hand at wood-fired pizza and settle beside the private outdoor fireplace. Later, bring movie night home on the oversized projector.
MORNINGS AT THE LAUREL
Coffee without
a clock.
Natural wood, warm light and a quiet table for two. The mornings here are meant to begin slowly.
SIGNATURE MOMENTS
The best parts of the stay
aren't on a checklist.
Water changes the pace.
Soak beneath the sky or step into the open-air shower and let the afternoon disappear.
Stay outside longer.
Pour something you like, settle beside the fire and let the night arrive slowly.
PRIVATE WELLNESS
Soak beneath
the evening sky.
The private hot tub sits at the center of The Laurel's outdoor experience. Sunset, a glass of wine and the quiet of the mountain landscape do the rest.
FIRESIDE EVENINGS
Stay outside
a little longer.
As daylight disappears, the outdoor fireplace becomes the center of the evening. Firelight, mountain air and nowhere else you need to be.
OPEN-AIR LIVING
Designed around
the space between indoors and out.
INSIDE THE RETREAT
Quiet details.
Warm restraint.
The bathroom carries the same moody, design-led character as the rest of The Laurel: deep green tile, warm brass, soft light and a generous rain shower.
It is a small moment in the stay, but exactly the kind of detail that makes the retreat feel considered rather than simply equipped.
