Hosted Stays & Retreats 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

We host a limited number of retreats each year, keeping groups intentionally small so the experience feels personal, welcoming, and intimate. Whether guided or loosely structured, our retreats are meant to feel cozy, thoughtful, and fun.

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, and retreats designed for intermediate or advanced classic and skate skiers. Each retreat will continue to reflect the same values of simplicity, comfort, and connection.

We also offer hosted stays and custom retreats for small groups who want to gather in a more personal way. These experiences can be tailored to your group’s interests, the season, and the pace you’re looking for. Whether that’s active days outdoors, slower mornings and long meals, or a blend of both. Whether your group wants simply hearty meals and a place to sleep after adventuring, a fully curated experience, or something in between, the Tinden cabin offers a great gathering point.

If you’re interested in us hosting your group, please reach out with a few details about your group and what you’re envisioning. We’re happy to share more information and provide a personalized quote.

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.
