Offerings at the Tinden Cabin

Whether skiing through snowy forests, sharing dinner, sitting outside by fire, or easing into the sauna at the end of the day, its all about Fellesskap (Community, togetherness).

Retreat Offerings

Our current organized retreat offerings focus on classic cross-country skiing in the Methow Valley, where we spend our days learning, skiing, and exploring groomed trails before returning to the cabin for sauna sessions, cozy evenings, and shared meals.

As we grow, we plan to expand our seasonal offerings to include experiences such as fall hiking in the Methow Valley, backcountry skiing in the North Cascades, retreats designed for intermediate or advanced classic and skate skiers, yoga, cooking classes, and more! Each retreat will continue to reflect the same values of simplicity, comfort, and connection.

We host a limited number of retreats each year, keeping groups intentionally small so the experience feels personal, welcoming, and intimate.

Private Dinners & Small Events

At Tinden, we are committed to supporting and celebrating our local community. We prioritize partnering with nearby businesses, guides, and makers, bringing their work into our retreats while creating opportunities for collaboration. Through small gatherings, shared events, and thoughtful use of the property, we aim to foster connection, support local economies, and contribute meaningfully to the place we’re part of.

At Tinden, we see the cabin as a space not just for our own gatherings, but for the broader community. We intentionally open the property to host and support local events—whether that’s collaborative dinners, small brand pop-ups, workshops, or community-led experiences. By partnering with nearby businesses, creatives, and guides, we aim to create a platform for local work to be shared and celebrated, while contributing to a more connected, supportive, and thriving community.


The cabin is more than a place to stay; it a place to enjoy good company. Our cabin becomes the backdrop for intimate dining experiences and meaningful occasions.

We welcome up to 8 guests inside or up to 15 guests outdoors (up to 25 if not a seated dining experience). If you’re hoping to seat more, just ask. For special dinners and celebrations, we’re often able to accommodate larger groups with advance planning. Our max capacity is 35 people.

Curated Tablescapes & Atmosphere

What’s Included

The Cabin

Designed with Norwegian rustic mountain lodges and simple hiking cabins in mind, our space is made for warmth, comfort, and coming together after time outside.

Nestled in the heart of the Methow Valley, our cozy Tinden cabin is a peaceful retreat designed for connection, rest, and time outdoors.

Inside, the cabin features comfortable shared living spaces for communal meals, 4 bedrooms, including two bunk rooms and two queen beds, three bathrooms, including two showers and a half bath, allowing guests to unwind after a day outside. The atmosphere is inspired by the Nordic ways of gathering and traditions of living close to nature. 

Step outside to enjoy fresh mountain air, easy access to nearby trails, and evenings under the stars. Whether you’re skiing, hiking, or simply slowing down, the cabin provides a welcoming home base for experiencing the Methow Valley at its best.

After a day outside, guests can unwind in the sauna, a favorite ritual for warming up and easing tired muscles before returning to the comfort of the cabin.
