A Private Retreat in Nature

When was the last time you sat beside someone you love and had nowhere else to be?

No notifications.


No meetings.


No expectations.


Just stars, forest, and time.



Sign of the Pines Retreats.

Designed for stillness, creativity, and quiet reset

A private off-grid yurt retreat just outside Cochrane, Alberta. 

For couples, solo guests, and quiet nature getaways.

Explore the retreat

This is not simply a place to stay.


Sign of the Pines is a curated retreat space — a place where time slows, attention deepens, and the natural world becomes part of the experience.


There is no schedule here.
The day unfolds on its own.

The Space

At the center is a thoughtfully designed yurt — warm, grounded, and quietly refined.


Built for what is essential.
Light. Texture. Stillness.


A space that allows you to settle in without effort.

A Different Kind of Getaway

This is a place free of distractions.


It is a place that invites you back to your own awareness.

Walk the land.


Sit quietly.


Create, reflect, or simply rest.

There is nothing you need to keep up with here.

Where the foothills begin to quiet

Just outside Cochrane, Alberta, and within reach of the Rocky Mountains — close enough to get to easily, and far enough to feel the shift.


Sign of the Pines was thoughtfully created as a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simple pleasures that are often overlooked in a busy world.


Surrounded by meadow and pine, this small off-grid retreat offers a quieter pace, dark night skies, forest paths, wildlife watching, and space to simply be.


Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, exploring the foothills, or seeking a few peaceful days away, you'll find a place designed for rest, reflection, and connection.

It is not designed to impress. 

It is designed to allow something deeper to emerge.

  "Would highly recommend for a peaceful getaway! 

The yurt was pristine and you could tell a lot of thought went into decorating and outfitting it. 

The bed was super comfy, and the wish tree and labyrinth are a fun touch."
