Is quarantine getting on your last nerve? Cabin fever got you itchin’ and twitchin’? Dying to get out and travel, but concerned about doing it safely? I’ve got just the solution for what ails you!
A couple years ago we had an incredible retreat at this luxurious ranch, and we’re headed back! It’s the perfect place to begin traveling again safely and with confidence. Right here in our backyard and easy to get to, you’ll “Cowgirl up!” in the majestic Teton Mountains of Wyoming where you’ll breathe in fresh mountain air, get lost in the splendor of nature, and reignite your passion for adventure!
The state of Wyoming is ranked #4 in the country for successfully containing Covid-19. This lovely ranch is intimate in size, remotely located, and tucked safely deep in the majestic Shoshone National Forest. Numerous procedures have been implemented to keep everyone safe. From sanitizing thoroughly, to creating social distancing in the dining room, to maintaining a limited number of guests at the lodge, the owner and staff are lovingly creating a safe haven for us to return to.
In addition to the safety measures, you can expect to receive the same over-the-top level of comfort and luxury. Be pampered by plush accommodations, relish mouth-watering fresh gourmet meals, and delight in exhilarating personalized activities.
GETTING THERE:
Long flights and face masks may feel a bit too soon and too much right now. Understandably so. However, depending on where you’re coming from, your flight will probably be quite short and reasonably priced.
Flights are not included in the registration, but I’m happy to assist you in finding an option that you are comfortable with.
Your journey begins…
At the Jackson Hole airport, you will be greeted and transported, along with your new friends, to your home for the next four days — a 5 star hidden treasure nestled in the mountains. This tranquil setting provides a breathtaking backdrop for deep exploration, both outer and inner.
It sounds amazing.
In the serenity of the Shoshone National Forest, we’ll explore and identify ways that the coronavirus can be used as a catalyst in helping us live our best lives.
Instead of moving into a ‘new normal’, we’ll choose a ‘new EXTRAORDINARY’!
Worry and fear of the unknown take a hike as gratitude, hope, and possibility become your new companions on the next step of your journey on a life you love!
Just what I need!
Accommodations
Entering the gate and driving up the dirt road to the lodge, your heart rate slows and you feel your body relax as you absorb the breathtaking beauty of this hidden treasure.
The lodge’s simple elegance is the perfect backdrop for this intimate secluded retreat as it overlooks its own little mountain lake.
You pull up to the door and notice the intricate craftsmanship and imagine the love that went into the construction of this cozy hideaway.
With spectacular views out every window, you can’t decide where to focus your eyes – inside on the beautiful furnishings, lovely decorated rooms, and four impressive stone fireplaces, or outside at the stunning handiwork of nature.
Your unique bedroom with its terry robe, pine furniture, down comforter and natural toiletry products welcomes you in, providing the deep comfort and relaxation you long for. All rooms, except two, are double occupancy, with two beds in the room. Please specify if there is someone you prefer to room with, otherwise you will share with another woman in our group. (If you choose to have your own room, please be sure to indicate it when you register and note the additional charge.)
You experience the great outdoors in an elegant atmosphere with all the luxuries and benefits we big girls have come to appreciate!
This looks incredible!
Dining
You awaken to the sweet aroma of a hearty breakfast of fresh fruit, homemade bread, malted waffles, eggs and bacon cooked to perfection.
Lunches keep your energy up for the daily activities with soups, sandwiches, salads and pasta sure to satisfy your every craving.
Don’t worry about the calories, there’s plenty to do to burn those off!
At 4 p.m. each day in front of the massive rock fireplace, you are treated to tea and decadent mid-afternoon snacks in a relaxed and comfy setting.
You relish your evening meal in the dining room under dimmed lights, occasionally serenaded by guitar music. There you savor fine wine, wild game and fresh fish selections and reminisce about the day’s adventures.
(Your special dietary needs are gladly accommodated.)
Delights
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at fly fishing? Well, here’s your chance! The area’s crystal-clear mountain lakes, spring-fed streams and rivers are full of Brook, Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout.
Your personal guide will help hone your own technique at your private ‘catch and release’ lessons.
You may choose a morning or afternoon ride to rediscover the cowgirl in you on a horseback ride. If your skills are rusty, one of the wranglers will properly instruct you before hitting the trail.
If it’s your first try at riding, lessons will be provided in the arena before heading out. All rides are led by experienced wranglers for a safe, relaxing journey along awe-inspiring paths.
You also pick and choose camp events that are sure to bring out the kid in all of us:
- Gooey smores and songs around the campfire
- Hiking the many trails experiencing the beauty of nature up close and personal
- Sliding off into the lake with friends or going solo on your own canoe
- Being instructed in, and giving archery a try.
The possibilities are endless!
I can’t wait to be pampered!
Luxuriate
No big girl camp is complete without a Spa Day!
At the lodge’s scrumptious private spa, you lounge and enjoy the rejuvenation of your mind, body and spirit with essential oils and botanical-based natural products.
Select from a hydrating facial, full-body massage, or exfoliating body treatment in this serene atmosphere that offers, yes, another large stone fireplace, fitness room, dry sauna and locker rooms.
An outdoor open-air whirlpool calls you to relax and take in spectacular views of the peaceful lake and impressive mountains in the distance.
In between treatments, you wile away the time casually sipping champagne and nibbling on delicious healthy snacks in the Tranquility Room, softly chatting with the other women.
If you had any concerns when you arrived, they are only a distant memory now.
You’ve heard of it, but now’s your chance to go Glamping!
The last morning there, you have the option to head out on a 3-hour leisurely trail ride under the capable guidance of your guides to immerse yourself in the secluded wonder of nature.
You arrive to find a lovely full camp set up and waiting for you. Here you’re treated to breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding mountain peaks.
You enjoy a delicious hot meal prepared especially for you and served on fine china. After a day of riding, a great meal, and a little time exchanging stories and laughs around the campfire, you tumble into your well-appointed tent with a down filled sleeping bag on a cot beside the bubbling creek where the sounds of the soft rhythmic flow lull you to sleep.
I’ve always wanted to go Glamping!
The next morning, after breakfast, we head back to the lodge where we find our luggage stacked and waiting. Although it’s hard to bring this refreshing and exhilarating adventure to a close, we must say good bye to our hosts and friends at the lodge and head for Jackson Hole.
Once there, you check into your hotel, then venture out to experience this bustling little city savoring every minute of your last day in Wyoming.
You browse the unique shops, maybe even picking up a souvenir of your time here, have a cup of coffee or lunch in one of the quaint outdoor cafés, or saddle up for a cold one in the famous “Million Dollar Cowboy Bar”.
You make the most of every minute before calling it a night.
You greet the next morning feeling grounded, hopeful, and excited for infinite possibilities as you board the plane heading home continuing on your new path of a journey to a life you love!
