Welcome
A private retreat in the Northwoods
Step into a breathtaking two-and-a-half story great room, where a dramatic wall of windows and a grand stone fireplace create the ultimate gathering space, surrounded by serene forest views. Fully secluded on 12 private acres, The Pines delivers a high-end experience for groups seeking luxury, nature, and total privacy.
Every detail has been considered — from the Sub-Zero refrigerator and chef's kitchen to the private four-person sauna and Sonos surround sound theater. This is where memories are made.
