Who we are
I grew up skiing and adventuring in the Methow Valley, and the cabin where these offerings take place has been part of that life for as long as I can remember. Built by my parents, inspired by traditional Norwegian mountain cabins (hytter), and updated over the years with modern Scandinavian touches, it has always been a place to get close to nature, slow down, and spend time together.
Tinden is my way of sharing that space with others, creating opportunities to experience the valley, spend time outside, enjoy good food and good company, and meet new people along the way.
The offerings are shaped by the simple flow and rustic feel of Norwegian mountain huts. Offerings are possible with the help of family (especially by sous chef mom), friends, and the local community, as the heart of these gatherings is connection.
My attachment to Norway, through family, frequent travel, and extended stays, shaped how I think about movement, shared spaces, and simple rituals that bring people together. I was born and raised in Seattle WA, and currently live there, spending a lot of time in the Methow Valley and traveling.

Safety & Guidelines
Your safety, the well-being of the cabin, and a positive experience for all guests are our top priorities.
-
The cabin is private. Only registered guests may access the property. Visitors or unregistered guests are not allowed. Guests may not share intimate cabin details or the exact cabin location/address on social media or with other non-guests.
-
Participants are responsible for their own safety and well-being during activities. Nordic skiing, hiking, and outdoor activities involve natural risks; please follow instructions, use good judgment, and be aware of your personal limits.
-
We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before attending any active retreat if you have any medical conditions, injuries, or concerns about physical activity or your health, as this area is not near a large metropolitan city, meaning limited emergency services and healthcare access.
-
All participants are expected to act responsibly and respectfully toward others. Harassment, unsafe behavior, or disregard for cabin rules will not be tolerated.
-
By attending the retreat, guests agree that the hosts are not liable for accidents, injuries, or property damage that occur during the stay, on or off the property. This includes any activities on or near the cabin property, as well as the use of the cabin, sauna, trails, or surrounding areas. Guests also agree to follow all safety guidelines and house rules to help maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Tinden is not responsible for any injury, accidents, or damage when utilizing third-party recreation companies. You must sign a separate waiver prior to participating.
