A Private Retreat at Lapeyrouse Lands
A quiet place to reconnect—with nature, with each other, and with something a little different.
Tucked into an isolated part of a working innovation farm, our cottage offers a peaceful escape surrounded by open land, trees, and fresh air. Designed for comfort and simplicity, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or a quiet reset.
Lapeyrouse Lands is an innovation farm focused on exploring better ways to work with the land. While your stay is private and relaxing, you’ll be surrounded by a living, evolving landscape—pastures, wildlife, and ongoing projects designed to improve the health and sustainability of a small farm.
You can engage as much or as little as you like:
- Take a walk and explore the property
- Sit outside and enjoy the quiet
- Or just stay in and unplug
There’s no agenda here—just space to breathe.

What is different about this property?
This property offers something you won’t find in a typical rental—space, movement, and a connection to the land. Designed as an innovation farm, it blends natural beauty with thoughtful stewardship, creating an environment that feels both peaceful and alive. Guests have access to walking trails, open pastures, and quiet wooded areas that invite exploration at your own pace.
Wildlife is abundant and part of the rhythm here. Deer, turkey, hawks, raccoons, and even active beaver habitats are regularly seen across the property. You can experience it passively from your porch or more actively through horseback riding and photography opportunities. It’s an experience that feels authentic, because it is.
