THE ROUTE

THE EXPERIENCE

Open-fire cooking and simple rhythms

What the day feels like

What the stay feels like

The stay is a compact, low-key immersion: arrive, stake out a tent site on the primitive campground, prepare meals over a campfire, and take a day hike to Mulberry Creek Falls before returning to the calm of the bathhouse and sleeping under the stars.
