 Ever Wonder
what it's like to awake
to the magic of the mountain?
Where glancing rays filter
through golden boughs

 

 

 as song birds serenade.
Where mist shrouded peeks
exhale a luminous aired as
your spirit breathes new life. Feel the difference as you
Drink, bathe & shower in fresh
luscious spring water.

Peek way past the world, through the doorway of the Gypsy Reading Wagon as you gaze & enter into the crystal ball of your future.

Recall the freedom you felt as a child gliding through the air on a sturdy tree swing.

Behold the mysterious reverberations of Echo Mountain as you snuggle up in a blanket

of contentment while cricket, frog, whippoorwill, owl, & fairy intone lithe lullabies.

We are dedicated to the preservation of our extraordinary natural environment. We have numerous native plants some of which are endangered species. We have a unique Eco tourism facility.

Birds Nest Retreat is a seven bedroom Retreat Center and Bed & Breakfast  located on ten plus acres nestled in a 30+year organic community. Birds Nest is a retreat center serving those who are seeking rejuvenating rest, growth, creativity, transformation, continuing education & research.

Our guests often return several times a year to simply Relax. We accommodate our guests so beautifully that most choose to remain on the property during their entire stay. Our guests and friends are thrilled with the deer in the mists, with the multitude of native and medicinal lants and with the deep natural enviroment. In the evening they have  fun playing croquet and bocce, relish the delicious natural organic gourmet meals. All renew themselves in the Far Infrared Saunas and  are delighted with the  interesting and fun hosts.

We have chosen to have phone  and Television Free rooms. For a few days turn off your cell phone and forget the emails. Put your feet up with a good book on the restful 60 foot guest porch. In the morning mists you will see the deer grazing. In the evenings we sit by the fire pit on the deck by the pond, with the waterfall  spraying . We laugh while we observe the little  green  eyes of our favorite frogs: Gastone, Mimi, Pierre and the elusive Raoul.
