The Fork Inn Nature Retreat

This place is special. Loved the SHR Farm house that overlooked the barn & farm animals where we stayed. Farmers Ryan & his wife Chan’e, that steward the farm, were ready available to answer all our questions, giving info about the land and coming to aid in any ask we had. The hot tub and fire pit served as a perfect invitation to enjoy the beautiful backyard holler landscape. The enormous thriving green house was a treat and gave a unique experience that kept us in smiles. Wade, one of the farm stewards, was very welcoming and kind giving us suggestions on best practices to enjoy the features of the farm. Fishing in the pond was so peaceful and we were even visited by a beautiful crane! Visually the farm is overwhelming and the opportunity to explore the balance of your sense of self j

My favorite undeveloped slice of nature. The Fork has it all. I highly recommend the nature trails or cabin rentals if you want to stay a while(especially Terrapin Station!).

The Fork Inn Nature Retreat was the perfect spot for our company gathering. We were able to disconnect from our hectic work schedules and connect with what can only be described as heaven on earth. While our hopes were high, we had no idea just how beautiful Big East Fork was. Surrounded by forest we hiked, fished, canoed, kayaked and splashed our way through a multitude of streams and creek beds. It was like being in our own private National Park. We stayed in a collection of charming cottages and beautiful homes and all gathered for meetings and meals in spacious yet intimate grand rooms. And adding to it all was a very gracious and attentive host. Thank you, Jonathan, for a wonderful experience. Already looking forward to our next visit!

I have experienced several events at Big East Fork since early Spring including a beautiful hike in the snow, several musical events and a great conference. I love the warmth and enthusiasm of the staff and the ambiance. I look forward to my next visit.

Great place to get grounded and connect with creation!
