We spent a couple nights at Hinata and WOW!! So beautiful, luxurious, private and quiet. It felt like we were in our own little world. Every detail of the space is so thoughtfully put together, from the plush bedding to the double shower heads to the twinkle lights on the deck. We left relaxed and recharged. The meal at the Perch was also delicious. Can’t wait to visit again!

Two nights is not enough! My wife and I needed some real relaxation and boy did we find it at Hinata! The cabins have everything you need and more. The Perch has an amazing staff and atmosphere. All around a fantastic experience! We cannot wait to go back! Also if you have 4 wheel drive, take the new access road. Adds to the fun!

Perfect! From arrival to departure everything was exceptional. The cottage was clean, warm and very romantic! Watching the sun rise from the hot tub was captivating! The Perch restaurant, although the menu is limited, was delicious. I can’t recommend Hinata enough for a romantic getaway! We’ll definitely be back.

We had a two night getaway at Hinata Retreat and it was amazing! The rooms were modern, clean, well-equipped, and had great views of the mountainside. The cabins were positioned perfectly, providing privacy. We enjoyed the morning breakfast that was delivered to our cabin and the dinners/drinks at the Perch were outstanding! The staff were pleasant and welcoming. We look forward to a future visit!

March, 2026: Hinata Retreat is truly a a gem! The cabins are beautiful, spotless & quite comfy. The views can't be beat. We even had a Red Tailed Hawk land on our deck & hang out for 10 minutes! We look forward to returning in different seasons & seeing the completed property.

The cabin was perfect - romantic setting with all the amenities needed to just relax and be together. The place was spotless, amazing customer service at the restaurant and a quaint town just down the street. The hot tub and 2-person shower was like heaven. It was a beautiful and romantic weekend and we can’t wait to go back ❤️

Cabin number 9 . A fabulous 3 night getaway from it all. The cabin had everything we needed and more to rest and relax in a very peaceful quiet atmosphere. We watched turkeys, many deer and a bobcat wander through the field. Everything was top shelf and new. They thought of everything. Communication was impeccable. I see this wonderful retreat being booked up quickly!

Incredibly restful stay at Hinata this past weekend! Our cabin was luxurious and super private, with great views. We also were the first couple to get massages at the new couples cabin. I had Naomi for my massage therapist and it was the best massage I've ever had. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you!
Stephanie K. · Google review
We had a wonderful weekend getaway. Hinata give you the perfect balance of relaxation and privacy while still having the on site amenities of the meal delivery, store, restaurant and massages. I really appreciated the quality of the finishes in the cabin. They didn’t skimp on any detail starting with the bedding, the interior finishes, to the grill and outdoor furniture.
