the perfect mix of amenities to slip you into relaxation and help you connect with nature.

Ryokan (Inn)

Designed by renowned architect Toshihiro Oki, whose work includes contributions to the New Museum in New York City and serves as architectural advisor to Grace Farms in New Canaan – CT, Goldenrod Inn showcases his unique design approach and mastery of materials.
Drawing inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, the spread layout evokes the unfolding of a paper fan, while the asymmetrical roofs resemble folded paper. The inn is nestled amongst a filed of wildflowers and trees contributing to the inn’s distinctive ambiance.
