Our story

Fifty-six acres, kept wild on purpose

A letter from your hosts

Hi, we’re Gwen & Josh.

We believe the best getaways pull you out of everyday life — somewhere you can explore, reconnect, try something new, and come home with stories worth telling.

That’s what drew us to In the Trees.

When we discovered this incredible 56-acre property in Maine’s White Mountain National Forest region, we saw treehouses, off-grid cabins, trails, a mountaintop lookout, disc golf, campfires, stars — and enormous potential.

We fell in love with the idea of creating a place where rugged adventure meets unexpected luxury.

Since becoming the owners in 2026, we’ve been thoughtfully elevating the experience while protecting everything that made In the Trees special in the first place. New mattresses and beautiful bedding. Plush blankets, pillows and rugs. Espresso and coffee bars. Premium soaps and personal-care products. New outdoor furnishings and private firepits. Hot tubs tucked among the trees. And soon, fireplaces inside Grand Oak and Spruce Suite.

Individually, they’re details. Together, they change how a getaway feels.

We want you to hike, explore, play disc golf, climb to the Summit Tower, and spend your days immersed in this remarkable property — then return to a space that feels beautiful, warm, indulgent, and completely unexpected in the middle of the woods.

And we’re just getting started.

For longtime guests, our hope is that you’ll recognize everything you’ve always loved about In the Trees while discovering something new each time you return. We’re not changing the soul of this place. We’re building on it.

And whether you come looking for adventure, reconnection, a romantic escape, or simply a few days far removed from ordinary life, think of us as your guides. We’ll help you choose the right stay, know what to bring, discover what’s worth exploring, and make the most of your time here.

You bring the person you want to escape with.

We’ll help make the escape unforgettable.

Welcome to In the Trees.

Where city lights fade, trails begin, and every step brings you closer to the one beside you.

What guides us

A few promises we keep

01

The outdoors is the amenity

We protect trails, dark skies, and wide-open acres the way other places protect a view — room to roam, right outside your door.

02

Comfort without losing the wonder

Real beds, real showers, real coffee — alongside the genuine magic of sleeping up in the trees.

03

Leave it better

We build among the trees, tread lightly on the land, and tend these acres for the guests who come next.

Stewards of the forest

These 56 acres came to us with old-growth birch and oak, quartz ledges, and trails worn soft by years of footsteps. Our job is to tend it lightly — to build among the trees rather than over them, and to leave the forest a little better than we found it for the guests who come after you.
