Zen River Suite

The Zen River Suite is perched on the rim of the bluffs overlooking the breathtaking Rocky Fork Gorge at the Highlands Nature Sanctuary. The bed, which sits close to the floor, affords a spectacular view through six floor-to-ceiling bedroom windows on three sides of the bedroom. Zen lies adjacent to the Eyrie Suite at the Hermitage Lodge. Both suites are fully private, each with its own entrance. The large private deck offers Adirondack chairs for seating.

Zen has one bedroom with a full bed, a large living room, a full bath, and a fully accessorized kitchen with a French press coffee maker, stove, and refrigerator. Towels and linens are provided. WiFi can be accessed at the Appalachian Forest Museum. The decor espouses elegant Zen-inspired simplicity with solid oak floors. Hermitage is the preserve’s most remote lodge, yet it is located in the heart of the Highlands Nature Sanctuary, close to most of the trailheads and within walking distance of the Appalachian Forest Museum. The Sanctuary offers 16 miles of trails.
