Discover the RMR Experience

This page is your guide to a wonderful stay at our private retreat.
Inside, you’ll find tips for enjoying your visit along with key rules and policies to keep your experience safe and memorable.

Getting to RMR and Parking

Round Mountain Retreat is located at the end of Round Mountain Road, a private gravel-and-dirt lane just over a mile from the nearest paved access. Google Maps will guide you accurately to our location (please use it, as backcountry roads in this area can be confusing).

The private road to our property is shared with our neighbors and is partially gravel and partially dirt. We’re actively working on making improvements, but in the meantime, please drive slowly and carefully. If you have any trouble finding RMR, never hesitate to give us a call or text.

At the end of Round Mountain Road, you will see a sign indicating you’ve arrived at Round Mountain Retreat. Turn right at the fence, then left at the end of the fence line to enter the gravel parking lot. You’re welcome to park anywhere within the lot. If you have more than two cars, please let us know ahead of time.

Upon Arrival

The Elk Cabin is located right next to the parking area. The Goose and Moose Cabins, along with our luxury canvas tents, Tamarack and Cedar, are just a short walk along the forest path. Each cabin and tent is clearly labeled with a sign on the front porch, making it easy to find your accommodations. You can also refer to the map for quick reference.

Check-In and Check-Out

You’ll receive a code to unlock your cabin and your private, assigned bathroom before arrival, sent via email or your preferred contact method. Please note that the bathroom is reserved exclusively for your use throughout your stay. The exception is the Elk Cabin, which has its own private bathroom.

Check-In Time: Check-in is generally not before 3 PM on your day of arrival. However, if you’d like to arrive early, please reach out to us to see if we can accommodate your request.

Self Check-In: Feel free to arrive at the property and go straight to your cabin to settle in. We value your privacy, so if you need anything, don’t hesitate to let us know, but otherwise, we aim to leave you in peace.

Check-Out Time: Check-out time is 11 AM. Please ensure you vacate the property on time to allow for cleaning and preparation for the next guests.

Before Leaving: Please ensure the cabin/tent is tidy, all trash is bagged and placed in the designated area, and all personal items are taken with you.

Enjoying the Property

Round Mountain Retreat offers miles of private trails, outdoor games, an outdoor BBQ area, and more for you to enjoy. Please refer to the RMR Map to familiarize yourself with our property layout. With the exception of the small area designated for our facilities, the entire property is curated for your enjoyment. Trails, seating areas, pergolas, and recreational facilities are maintained for your use.

While our property offers access to state forest land, please be aware that neighboring properties are privately owned. Do not enter private property without explicit permission. Our map and on-site signage clearly designate property lines.

We hope you enjoy the beautiful hiking trails, 360-degree views, and recreation opportunities available right on our property. A short drive will bring you to pristine lakes, hiking trails, and the many natural attractions our region has to offer.

Amenity Use: Use all amenities, including the outdoor BBQ area, fire pits, and hiking trails, responsibly. Ensure you clean up after use and report any damage or issues to management.
Walking sticks are provided in cabins for your use. If you keep them, the charge is $40. If you extensively damage a stick, then we will need to charge you for it. We hand-carve these for your enjoyment.
