Lost Woods Creates Space For Slow Living And Presence
Lost Woods Farm & Forest invites travelers to reconnect with nature through its glamping retreat and eco-lodging destination, located just minutes from Boyne Mountain. Founded by Lauren and Jason, the project is rooted in years of global travel, cross-cultural immersion and a shared commitment to creating meaningful experiences.
After nearly 15 years in Chicago and Australia, the family relocated to Northern Michigan one week before travel restrictions began in early 2020. The move marked a deliberate return to simplicity and intention. What began as a personal shift became Lost Woods—a place where nature and comfort coexist, offering a pause from the pace of daily life.
Set among rolling forested acreage, the retreat features curated accommodations designed to immerse guests in a sense of place. Each space reflects Lauren’s love for travel and design, shaped by her years living in France, Chile and Australia. Guests experience both rustic charm and thoughtful comfort, with access to nearby trails, local lakes and seasonal programming.
More than a vacation spot, Lost Woods fosters reflection, presence and connection. Whether visiting for a solo reset or a group gathering, guests are encouraged to unwind and engage with the landscape around them. The retreat embodies a belief in slow living and deep-rooted hospitality.
Location: 4500 Denise Rd., Boyne Falls. For more information or to make a reservation, visit LostWoodsMI.com.
