Friends of Breitenbush, “Change we must, to live again.” It is our current theme song and each day we rise to this new occasion. The devastation left behind from the fires has awarded us the opportunity to rediscover who we can become next. We’ve lost all of our guest cabins, and quite a few of our outbuildings, including our beloved Sanctuary. What does it look like here? It is different. In some places it is unrecognizable. In some places you’ll feel all of the warmth of what it is that you loved most about being here. There is also a lot of activity. Some areas that were once a dense forest are now becoming lush meadows. The land continues to heal. Ferns are growing, successive wild flowers are blooming, the birds are singing their harmonies, the deer are grazing. Their home was damaged too, and they are also adapting. We take a cue from them, and remind ourselves of the law of impermanence, constant change. What to expect when you visit: We are now fully back open and as “guest ready” as we can be with these losses. We’ve added a series of new platform “glamping” tents, which we call the Aviary. We’re also currently working on adding more winter accommodations inside the Lodge, and converting other structures into winter guest housing. There might be some signs of construction when you visit, so please be patient with us through this rebuild. In regards to COVID, we are following the recommendations of both OHA and the CDC. Guests are asked to wear masks in all indoor spaces (except while eating or in their lodge rooms), and when unable to maintain 6ft distance outdoors. You do not have to wear masks in the pools or sauna. We have changed our food service slightly. Meals are served out of the Lodge at designated meal times. We are serving plated meals, but seconds are welcome! Don’t worry, we will still be serving the delicious organic and vegetarian food you’ve come to love here. The gift shop has moved. We have relocated the gift shop to the former dining room space. This allows us to have more space to move about. We also have a small cafe service inside of the store and a lounge area. Our Healing Arts facility did burn, so we have moved all massage into the River Yurt. Those appointments can be booked upon arrival, or by emailing us the week of your visit. The Sanctuary burned as well, and so we will be using other spaces for yoga, meditation and more. Our registration system has changed. You will notice that our booking platform has a brand new look and feel, but don’t worry, it is a pretty intuitive system. Reach out to office@breitenbush.com if you have any trouble. We are now open to families with children! Children under the age of 5 are free, see our pages on Day Use and Personal Retreats for other costs. There are many areas off-limits still, including all hiking trails. You will find we have barricaded certain areas, including the former cabin areas, and certain parts of the woods. This is because these areas are still hazard zones. We are strictly enforcing these boundaries. Please do not go into them. If we do find anyone wandering through them, we will unfortunately have to ask them to leave the property. Thank you for understanding. All the soaking pools and sauna are all still available. After some work to clear out debris, redo some plumbing and rebuild some changing stations, we once again have clean and clear water flowing through our pools. Availability is still limited as we slowly convert more spaces into guest accommodations. All reservations can be made through our website. The rest, we will leave for you to discover.
