A little personal note

We didn’t just find this place – we built it. Literally.

Over the past two years, we cleared the land ourselves, piece by piece, cutting through forest, carrying wood, hammering, sweating, and dreaming. Our little camp? Hand-built with love (and probably a few blisters), from the ground up.

It took time. It took patience (a lot). But it gave us something real, a place where people from all over the world can slow down, sit by the fire, and feel at home in nature.
