Come as you are,
leave gently changed

Rooted in place and embraced by the landscape, Leaves and Fishes is an ever-evolving stay, wedding, event and retreat space - unpolished, soulful, and deeply personal. Come to rest, reconnect, or realign, with thoughtful comforts and unexpected details
along the way.
