Amenities
At Talking Water Nature Retreat, we’ve designed each cabin with thoughtful details to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. From fully equipped kitchens to the magic of outdoor showers, you’ll find everything you need for a perfect escape.
Full Kitchens
Each cabin is equipped with custom kitchen cabinetry handcrafted from black walnut, poplar wood, or plaster and topped with sleek granite or liveedge countertops. Whether you’re whipping up a family feast or a simple meal for two, you’ll find all the essentials:
Major appliances include apartment-sized fridges and oven ranges, perfectly suited for cooking up your favorite dishes.
Small appliances like coffee makers, electric kettles, blenders, and microwaves are on hand for all your daily needs.
Stocked cabinets with all the cookware, grilling tools, dishes, and utensils you’ll need, making it easy to prepare, serve, and enjoy your meals right in your cabin.
Full Indoor Bathrooms
Our bathrooms give you an air of luxury. Each cabin features an eclectically inspired indoor bathroom with a toilet, sink, and bathtub and/or shower.
Wrap yourself in Turkish bath towels (they are so enjoyable that guests can purchase them to take home from the Marketplace). Handtowels and wash cloths are stocked and waiting as well!
Add a touch of warmth to your stay but heating up your towels in our toasty towel warmers. Each cabin includes an electric warmer year-round.
Toiletries included! Eco-friendly shampoos, conditioners, and body wash are provided in each shower. Hand soap, makeup mirrors, and cotton swabs are waiting by the sink and blow dryers, curlers, and hair straighteners are available by request.
Indoor Extras
Our cabins are stocked up so that you have to bring less. Enjoy your trip and know that we have prepared your cabin to meet your needs!
Unwind for the day in a freshly made bed. Extra sheets for sleeper sofas and 3 blankets are waiting in the closet/chest for convenient access.
Cozy up in front of an electric fireplace, enjoying the extra heat and flickering flames. Adjust the HVAC unit’s thermostat to get your temperature at that just-right-level.
Enjoy your entertainment! Each cabin includes high-speed WiFi and a modestly-sized smart TV. Log in to your favorite applications to view your shows.
Outdoor Showers
Showering under the stars is a must-try experience at Talking Water! Each cabin features its own private outdoor shower, allowing you to soak in the fresh air and stunning night sky:
Enjoy hot and cold water year-round (except during frost season).
Luxury amenities like scalp massagers, shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are provided in each shower, making your outdoor rinse even more indulgent.
Note: Whippoorwill’s shower is available year-round. Other outdoor showers are disconnected from the first frost to the last frost.
Grilling Essentials
The grills require charcoal, which can be purchased directly from Talking Water or picked up at a nearby store before your arrival.
We’ve provided all the grilling utensils you’ll need to enjoy an effortless BBQ with your family and friends.
Laundry
Guests have access to two washers, two dryers, and a utility sink during their stay, using the provided guest door codes.
An iron, steamer, and ironing board are also available for use.
We keep the laundry detergent and wool dryer balls well-stocked, so you’ll have everything you need to keep things clean and fresh.
The Pavilion
Picnic tables, benches, Adirondack chairs, and a serving table offer plenty of seating for meals, games, or simply relaxing with loved ones.
The outdoor kitchen includes cabinets, a sink, and an electric griddle, perfect for cooking up a meal while enjoying the open air.
Join in the fun by playing tetherball, jumping on the tree swing, jumping down the slide, or walking over to the chicken coop to chat with our feathered ladies.
Gather around the central firepit, which features a campsite grill over an open flame for that perfect campfire experience.
Firepits
Each cabin is designed with its own outdoor social space, complete with natural stone patios and cozy seating areas:
Relax around each cabin’s private firepit, where seasoned firewood is provided to keep the flames going.
Each patio includes a nearby picnic table and chairs around the fire, making them perfect for social gatherings. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows, swapping stories, or simply enjoying the warmth of the fire under a starlit sky.
In addition to each individual cabin’s firepit, the whole gang can utilize the larger firepit at pavilion. There’s room to relax while folks enjoy the nearby pavilion grill, slide, tree swing, and hiking trails.
