Introducing the Future Retreat Spaces of The Timber Walk

Introducing the Future Retreat Spaces of The Timber Walk

Comments 0 Comment

There’s a moment in creating a place like The Timber Walk when everything shifts from plans to a real destination. Even before any structures rise from the forest floor, giving them names makes the place feel alive. Inspired by the woods, wildlife, and the peaceful nature of Lower Greenwich, these future accommodations already have identities that reflect the spirit of this New Brunswick forest retreat. Today, I’m excited to share the official names of the spaces that will one day…

One Year In, and Just Getting Started A year ago The Timber Walk was just raw forest. It’s slowly becoming a place to stay, wander, and slow down. It’s hard to believe, but we’re coming up on a full year since I first bought the property that is becoming The Timber Walk. So much has happened in these months—trees cleared, power brought to the site, septic installed, workshop built, the first of the boardwalk constructed, and so much more—and the best part…

When visitors stay in one of our simple, modern cabins or glamp beneath the…

Slow Camping at The Timber Walk: Time Unrushed, Fires Unhurried

In a world that moves too fast, camping often ends up feeling like another race — rushing to pack the car, claim a site, set up the tent before dark, and squeeze “rest” into a weekend that feels anything but restful. Slow camping is the opposite of that. It’s not about doing less; it’s about doing things with intention. You don’t go to check off a destination. You go to stay a while, listen longer, and notice what happens when you let…

The vision for The Timber Walk includes a boardwalk that weaves between the trees to connect the dwellings and common areas throughout the property. It’ll be built in phases as we go. The first little bit is a 30-foot ramp leading from the parking area to the workshop, then a bit of wrap-around deck which will later continue toward Birchwood Cottage. The finishing touch was a carved sign created by my dad.
