THE HEART BEHIND The Pine Tree Hotel
The Pine Tree Hotel was born from a shared dream of two lifelong friends who envisioned creating a special retreat where people could truly unwind and rejuvenate. Our founders, Isaac and Tim, have been friends since childhood. Their deep bond and mutual love for nature and serene getaways inspired them to establish a place where others could experience the same sense of peace and connection they cherished.
After years of exploring various locations and feeling the need for a place that combined laidback luxury with the tranquility of nature, they decided to create The Pine Tree Hotel. Their vision was clear: to offer a haven where guests could relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves and their loved ones.
My note: (the Pacific Crest Trail is accessible a Two miles northeast of the inn).
