Staying on this land in Winter, tuck up ib the cozy cabin, was truly a dream. I stayed very warm and protected from the elements. Less so when I hiked into the woods, but the beautiful trees and snow made up for it. There was an everpresent feeling of being held during my stay. It was quiet, peaceful, and slow.

Relax and recharge!

Verbena Vista cabin is a comfortable and cozy place to spend time relaxing, enjoying a beautiful view, and peace and quiet surrounded by woods and fields. It is a special spot! Two nights was the perfect amount of time to let my nervous system wind down here. Stars, streams, dark nights, comfy bed! Fearn is a great host. Responsive to communication, caring, and respectful. The cabin is set up thoughtfully and has all the basics. (Read the description in case there are extras you want to bring.) Fearn created a ritual for me that was just what I needed. I definitely recommend this add on if it appeals to you! I look forward to another visit for sure.

Just What I Needed

Staying at Verbena Vista was just what I needed. The cabin itself is lovely, clean, secure feeling, warm, and beautiful. It had all I needed to be comfortable. The land itself truly is magical. You feel it as soon as you get there. This was a place that I could just drop in to myself and stay there with ease. I also did ritual work with Fearn and I feel like I gave myself the best gift. The process of getting clear on its purpose and then carrying it out was so grounding and clarity-giving. I felt supported on a very deep level, and truly cared for. Thank you, Fearn, for offering such a wonderful space to others and making the land you steward something people can enjoy. I will definitely be back!
