Step inside and enjoy the fresh Cape Cod-inspired interior, where soft light fills the space and every detail has been carefully finished. It’s light, bright, and quietly refined, a gentle contrast to the rustic timber cabin exterior.

Wake slowly in the queen bed, then ease into your morning at the small breakfast table with coffee in hand. Spend unhurried moments curled into the occasional chairs, taking in the view through the wide sliding doors as the landscape shifts with the day.

The kitchenette offers everything you need for a simple, easy stay. Perfect for preparing breakfast, a platter, or a relaxed bite to eat. With a toaster oven, coffee machine, kettle, and mini fridge, it’s designed for light meals rather than full cooking.

Slide open the barn door to a spacious, modern bathroom, where a generous shower offers a calm and refreshing start or end to your day.

your front porch becomes a natural extension of the space. Sit with a drink, spark up the BBQ, and take in the stillness around you.

Beyond The Glade, you’re welcome to enjoy the shared spaces across John Barron Retreat. Gather around the fire pit as the evening settles in, or unwind in the sauna and hot tub. There is also a gym available for those who like to keep moving during their stay. These areas may be shared with guests from the other accommodations on the property, or the owners when in residence.

You’ll find a guide within the listing photos showing which spaces are shared, private, or exclusive to The Glade, so you can feel comfortable and at ease during your stay.

We are currently adding additional privacy screening to further enhance the sense of seclusion.

If there’s anything you’re unsure about, you’re always welcome to reach out, we’re here to make your stay feel easy from the very beginning.

You will have exclusive use and access to The Glade Studio throughout your stage.
