Timberroot Rustic Retreats was founded in 2017 with a love for the great outdoors. We're outdoor people. When we travel, we want to feel connected to the place we're visiting, the natural world, and each other. We were tired of the cookie-cutter vacation rentals we've seen dominate the market, so we decided to do something about it. Every decision we make at Timberroot is about driving connections for ourselves and our guests. This unique approach resonates with people and has helped grow Timberroot into a full-service rustic resort development and management firm. Our mission is to create, curate, and operate unique short-term rental clusters near popular natural attractions like National Parks. Designed to compliment the surrounding environment organically, our "rustic retreats" immerse guests in nature, allowing them to relax, recharge and find meaningful connections through the creation of shared memories. Timberroot Rustic Retreats aren't simply places to stay but springboards for adventure, opportunities to experience the wonders of nature with all the comforts of home, and create lasting, captivating memories.
