Pine & Ember
More than a Place to Stay
We don’t believe people need more entertainment.
We believe they need more margin.
Margin to think.
To wonder.
To explore.
To have conversations that aren’t interrupted.
To notice the wind in the trees, the sound of the river, and the beauty of creation all around them.
That’s why every Pine & Ember retreat is designed to remove distractions without sacrificing comfort.
You shouldn’t have to spend your getaway setting up camp or worrying about the little details.
We’ve already thought through those for you.
So you can spend your time on the things that matter most.
Our Philosophy
We've accepted constant interruption as normal. It doesn't have to be that way.
Technology has made our lives remarkably convenient, but constant connection often comes at the expense of our attention.
Every notification asks for a little more of us.
Every quiet moment competes with another screen.
At Pine & Ember, we’re not against technology.
We’re for presence.
We believe it’s healthy to slow down.
Healthy to think.
Healthy to daydream.
Healthy to explore.
Healthy to disconnect from the constant stream of information long enough to reconnect with creation, with the people beside us, and with ourselves.
Because some of life’s most meaningful moments aren’t scheduled.
They’re simply noticed.
Here'sWhat You'll Find
Thoughtful Hospitality
Every detail has been intentionally chosen so you can arrive, settle in, and simply be.
Modern Comforts
Adventure & Creation
Our Story
Why Pine & Ember Exists
Some of the most meaningful memories we’ve ever had happened when we stepped away from everyday life and immersed ourselves in creation. From campouts and lake days to morning coffee, evening marshmallows, and late-night conversations around the fire.
Weekends where we stayed disconnected from our phones simply because there was too much life happening around us!
Those experiences have shaped us.
We believe that hospitality isn’t just providing a place to sleep.
It’s caring for others. Loving others. Anticipating needs before they’re felt.
It’s creating an environment where people can rest, explore, reconnect, and leave feeling better than when they arrived.
As a family, we believe God created us for relationship, for adventure, for meaningful work, for rest, and for wonder.
Pine & Ember is our way of creating spaces where those things become just a little easier to rediscover.
