Retreats for Teams and Friends
Six bedrooms, gigabit wifi, a gym for the mornings and a game room for the evenings, 0.2 miles from Acadia’s carriage roads.
Work in the Morning, Trails in the Afternoon
Gigabit wifi throughout, a desk and printer, and two dining tables for 10 and 6 that double as meeting tables.
Walk the carriage roads between sessions from a trailhead 0.2 miles away, then end the day at the deck’s fire table or downstairs in the game room. Two living rooms give a group room to split into smaller conversations.
