FOR LEADERSHIP TEAMS

A CORPORATE RETREAT WITHOUT THE CORPORATE FEEL

The journey here is well worth it. When your feet first touch the ground, you hear the water lapping against the shoreline, feel the breeze on your face, and smell the pine of the trees, there is a collective exhale.

FOR The WORK THAT MATTERS

The Retreat on Lake Pend Oreille sits on the same land where Dr. Forrest Bird lived and invented for decades. It’s a working property at the end of a private road on Lake Pend Oreille. The property is exclusively yours: no other guests, nothing in the sightline. Plenty of corners to spread out, enough privacy to say the things that need saying.

It’s the kind of place for when the stakes are high enough to deserve it.

QUIET ENOUGH TO Think. CONNECTED ENOUGH TO Decide.

  • Thirty bedrooms across four distinct buildings and an Airstream

  • Sleeps 30 guests single occupancy, or up to 74 with shared rooms

  • Renovated and updated while preserving the original property’s character

  • Mid-century aviator in feel: precise, purposeful, and comfortable without being generic

The Retreat is ideal for groups that need quality time together and space to think apart. Self-contained enough to solve big challenges, quiet enough to think them through, and designed for people who work hard and also like to play.

DR. BIRD’S LEGACY

AN ENVIRONMENT Built On INNOVATION

It’s hard to find the right spot for your group. Not too pretentious and distracting, but not too rustic. The Retreat is middle ground: quiet and private enough without the distractions, like a grown-up camp without roughing it.

Dr. Bird was an innovator. He could have chosen anywhere for his home, and he chose this spot. What better place to continue his legacy than to have groups here striving for innovative outcomes and planning their next chapters?

A peaceful setting that is perfect for team bonding and productive conversation. The entire team was "stress-free" the entire time which is really hard to do. Most of the time teams are very distracted during sessions like this...in this beautiful and quiet setting it was easy to keep the team focused on the conversation at hand.
