Concierge experiences

Make it unforgettable.

A stay is the foundation. From there we build the days around your group — arranged one at a time or bundled into a weekend. A selection of what’s possible:

A calm Sierra lake edged by forested slopes under a clear sky

Water & lake

Paddleboard and kayak fleets to the shoreline, pontoon cruises, guided fishing, and lazy beach days a mile down the road at Scott’s Flat Lake.

Emerald Bay on Lake Tahoe, its island and deep blue water ringed by pine slopes

Lake Tahoe day

Private boat charters, an Emerald Bay cruise with a sommelier aboard, door-to-door transport, and a gourmet lakeside lunch — an hour away.

A mountain biker riding a trail through a sunlit forest

Land adventure

Guided mountain biking, ATV and 4×4 tours, private hiking and climbing guides, horseback rides, and sporting clays in the foothills.

Amber apothecary bottles, a reed diffuser and rolled towels arranged on a wooden tray

Wellness & spa

In-cabin massage, mobile facials and body treatments, infrared sauna and cold plunge, sound baths under the stars, and forest bathing along the creek.

Rows of staked garden beds catching low sun through the pines

Farm & ranch

Walk the gardens and gather herbs and seasonal produce for your table, with farm-to-table meals from what’s growing on the land.

An overhead view of a shared family-style dinner spread across a long wooden table

Culinary & tasting

Private-chef farm-to-table dinners, live-fire feasts, wine-pairing dinners with a sommelier, mixology classes, and whiskey flights.

Flames rising from a campfire at night

Family & kids

Farm camp, stargazing with an astronomer, scavenger hunts, outdoor movie nights, gold panning along the creek, and nature crafts.

Hot-air balloons rising over open fields at dawn

Air & signature

Helicopter tours over the Sierra crest, a hot-air balloon sunrise, vintage car experiences, and a scenic floatplane to Tahoe.

Hands shaping a clay vessel on a potter's wheel

Creative & cultural

Private artist and photography workshops, plein-air painting, live music from a soloist to a string trio, and sessions in Madrone Studios.
