The world can ask for your attention from every direction. In these April journal pages, guests describe the feeling of setting that weight down, then finding a little more room for each other.

The quiet that stays with you

For some, the first gift was simply a pause. Their words hold the quiet without trying to explain it away.

I took a “mini vacation” to unplug and get away for a couple days of peace & relaxation and this place exceeded my expectations Hinata was ABSOLUTELY created with care and intention and this place will always hold a special place in my heart - To the next guests that are reading this: I hope you find comfort and peace in the quiet moments ♡ — A guest, guest journal, April 2026

What a place to be What a sight to see. Our stay here at Hinata has relaxed our minds, refined our LOVE for one another, and briefly lifted the pressure from back home. Breathe deep, Breathe Slow, Be still is what this place has reminded us. — Ailani + Joelante, guest journal, April 2026

The small signs of a slower day

A view, a stretch of fog, a few days without the usual pressure: these are the details guests chose to keep.

The room was everything & then some, great vibe & energy! - The food delicious - We had a great hike to Flannery Falls. - Explored Shelburne the ‘Flower Bridge’ & the Dam. - on the way home we plan to go to the 7 waterfalls in the Berkshires. - We saw a rainbow out our slider in the afternoon & were greeted by the rolling fog each morning! — Vince & Liz from CT, guest journal, April 2026

The cabin is extremely relaxing & the views are spectacular. The process was pretty straight forward as everything is online & we appreciated the daily text messages. We had a lovely time & will definitely be back. — A guest, guest journal, April 2026

Remembering to be “us”

A few entries name the gentle work of turning toward one another again. Their words make that shift feel simple and close.

Leaving with something lighter

For these guests, the time together did not end at the cabin door. They carried its calmer feeling with them.

For a little while, nothing needs you. There is room to be still, and room to find each other again.
