Personal, family, friends, writers, adventurers, business or other organizations. We invite you to immerse yourself in The Mountain experience. You have a unique opportunity to nurture your body and spirit, as well as to extend your knowledge and skills. During this time of COVID-related changes, many businesses have employees working remotely. While this has been necessary for health of employees, it may also result in reduced connections among team members. The Mountain could be an ideal space for an organizational retreat to build team connections and processes. Please contact us to discuss the possibilities for your organization. Our facility offers amazing views from 4,200 feet; private spaces for contemplation and a variety of meeting spaces; library; farm with poultry, food forest, garden, apiary and mountain meadow; hiking trails; and a tower which provides views of four states on clear days; and dark skies filled with stars. We offer a variety of housing options to accommodate your needs. In addition, local community attractions around Highlands includes waterfalls, art museum, biological station, and an interesting town center, with a recreation complex. |
