🌲 What Makes Raven’s Nest Different
Raven’s Nest is the only Guest cabin on the property, giving you complete privacy during your stay.
Surrounded by pines and soft mossy forest floor, the cabin is bright, modern, and filled with natural light from large screened windows that bring the outdoors in.
At night, soft lanterns and motion‑sensing lights guide your way while keeping the atmosphere peaceful.
The outdoor Nature Shower is a guest favorite — a hot‑water shower under the open sky where you can look up at the tree canopy or out into the forest.
Outside, you’ll find cozy seating areas for sunrise coffee, afternoon lounging, and stargazing.
Wildlife is part of the charm here — you may see Chickadees, Ravens, Blue Jays, Wild Turkeys, Squirrels, Chipmunks, and the occasional Deer or Fox passing through.
Nights are peaceful, with the natural sounds of the forest all around you.
