THE FOREST:
Our small Cabin opens to the outdoors for views and direct exposure to the forest. This exposure to nature provides a wonderful inspirational relaxing effect. The Japanese call it 'Shinrin-Yoku' which translates to 'forest bathing'. The idea is simple: If a person visits a natural area and walks in a relaxed way, there are calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits to be achieved. Studies have documented reduced stress, lower blood sugar, better concentration, diminished pain, and improved immunity...

Taking in the forest atmosphere has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Researchers have established a robust body of scientific literature on the health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest. Many trees give off organic compounds that support “NK” (natural killer) cells that are part of our immune system's way of fighting cancer.

Treehouse of your dreams!

Wow, what's not to love! A treehouse in the woods, luxury cabin, overlooking the lake with a jacuzzi under the stars and a mega screen theater room! Our family of 4 enjoyed every minute of our trip "INTO THE WOODS". Our older boys loved the modern, big screen tv with theater seating while my husband and I enjoyed quiet moments reading under the trees in the many relaxing seating areas found on the property. The wildlife is entertaining and amazing to watch and the views of the lake and surroundings are incredible! Family meals around the large family table were a favorite part of our stay, along with movie nights, hikes and a day of fishing on the lake. We felt like it was our home away from home and can't wait to go back INTO THE WOODS!

Exceptional accommodations and experience

I had a perfect experience at my stay at Into The Woods. There isnt a single detail that Rick left out as far as the accommodations. The house has everything you need, was very clean and comfortable and the view and surroundings were peaceful and even a little magical ; ) Rick gave me a tour of the home and property when i arrived and made sure i had everything i needed. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back!

Relaxing stay in a great setting

We enjoyed a relaxing 2 nights at Into The Woods with our two daughters. Facilities are great and we never tired of sitting on the terrace under the trees canopy, gazing at the view and watching the birds. Lots of space on the property to find a quiet spot, which also means you have plenty of peace & quiet. Julian not too far away for food / a slice of apple pie. Highly recommended.
