The valley

Fernhollow sits where the meadow meets the pines, a short walk above the creek. There is no television and barely any signal. Mornings begin with mist, and it usually clears by ten.

The lodge is one long timber house with a handful of cabins behind it. Evenings are for the stove, the sauna and the stars over the ridge.

Rooms

Prices are per night for the whole room, in US dollars. Breakfast supplies are in the kitchen.
