In the heart of The Green Mountains with its enchanting winter landscape, Highwood Retreat is a luxury escape for those looking for solace and adventure.
In the heart of The Green Mountains, where winter blankets the landscape in a pristine layer of snow, there is a haven for those seeking an enchanting escape from the ordinary. Highwood Retreat, an exquisite and luxurious camp, beckons adventure-seekers with the promise of a Narnia-like winter experience.
The canvas of luxury embraced by winter
Highwood Retreat, a creative collaboration of husband-and-wife duo Sam Parsons and Katharine Mangold, unfolds across a vast 90-acre property, a testament to nature’s grandeur. Here, winter is not just a season; it’s a magical journey through a wonderland of snow-dusted landscapes and crystalline wilderness.
The centerpiece of this thoughtfully designed retreat is the safari tent, a canvas cocoon that seamlessly blends the opulence of a high-end hotel with the rugged charm of sleeping under the stars. From the moment you step inside, the warmth of the wood-burning stove and the sumptuous furnishings welcome you to a world where luxury meets nature in perfect harmony.
“The true essence of this experience comes at the intersection between luxury and ruggedness,” says Katharine. “You build your own fire by lantern light and have perfect cocktails delivered to you in shimmering silver hip flasks.
You can hear the owls hooting and the coyotes howling as you slip into a crisp bed, nestled in down and velvet. In the morning, you can unzip your tent to a snow-covered landscape bathed in the soft light of sunrise.”
Immersive enchantment in a winter paradise Highwood Retreat isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience crafted to surprise and delight its visitors. Tunnels of trees, a secluded gale, morning mist, or a full golden moon rising over the tree line — the Highwood Retreat property is a place of wonder and enchantment. And as winter unfolds with its icy embrace, the camp transforms into a wonderland, offering a captivating escape for those searching for a different kind of adventure.
Imagine waking up to the soft glow of morning light filtering through the canvas walls, casting a warm hue on the snow-covered landscape outside. The crisp mountain air invigorates your senses as you step onto the deck, where Adirondack chairs invite you to savor a hot cup of locally sourced coffee, steam rising into the frosty air.
And it turns out a snow-covered landscape can be good for you. Spending time in a snowy location in the middle of the woods has unique positive effects on your health, energy, and happiness. The quiet you experience when you step out into a snow-covered landscape creates a feeling of serenity and calm.
