ACCOMMODATION

Celesterra

$135 per night

Celesterra is now available one week out of every month for 3 to 6-night personal retreats as well as being available for daytime retreats (subject to availability). Situated between 3 tulip poplars, it floats between earth and sky about 15 feet off of the ground.

Built by the crew of the television show Treehouse Masters, it is a beautiful, serene sacred space that is cozy, warm and inviting. At about 300 square feet, it features a beautiful living area with wood stove and leather club chairs, a dining table, fully stocked kitchenette and a bathroom with a compost toilet.

It has no running water, but glorious spring water is supplied for drinking, washing dishes and cleaning hands. A beautiful shower is available in the main house (about a two minute walk). It also features a large front deck with fabulous views of the mountains.

The bedroom is located in a loft above the kitchen area. It is accessed by a 9-foot ladder. If you have physical limitations, that might prove difficult for you, please let us know. We have included a couple of photos in the slideshow to the right.

This is a wonderfully quiet space that enhances your meditations, reflections and relaxation. There is an interview process and only serious intentions to do deep personal work will be considered.

"When I imagined how I wanted to spend the turning of the new year, what came to me was this: I want to wake up alone. Preferably in a treehouse. Stumbling upon Celesterra was such a stroke of luck—or destiny! The cabin was the perfect place for me to reflect, write, and dream for the year ahead. The interior is cozy and has everything I needed to nourish myself and experience real solitude.

Daily rituals like carrying water from the spring and building an evening fire were grounding and comforting. And, for an every-now-and-then phone check and piping-hot daily shower, the access to the facilities in the main house was wonderful. Wandering the surrounding woodlands offered a sense of expansion and exploration, too.

Charles and Stella are full of joy and love; they are caretakers in the truest sense, and genuinely want their guests to flourish in their space and beyond. I can't recommend Celesterra enough, and I can't wait to return."
