Fully stocked, this retreat includes all item amenities except groceries and toiletries. We do supply salt, pepper, select coffee, tea and hot cocoa for the Keurig, tinfoil, ziplock bags, pam spray, and all-in-one shampoo/body wash.
We do allow two well behaved trained dogs at this retreat for an additional fee. Just indicate the number of dogs on your reservation. We ask that you inform us through the reservation message if you will be bringing a dog.

Excellent Place To Relax
Absolutely enjoyed our 2nd stay at Pettinger. Very clean very neat and very quiet. Just what we needed to recharge the batteries. I can’t say enough about this gem over looking the coulee region. If you want a little piece of heaven this is the place.

Weekend Retreat
We had a great time at this little cabin. We were looking for a way to disconnect from the busyness of everyday life and be more present. We didn’t leave the property during our visit. We cooked our meals, read, journaled, and enjoyed the sunset views. We will be back!

Great Getaway!
This is our second time staying at High Point Retreats! It is such a relaxing getaway and the views are gorgeous! Each cabin is stocked with supplies, which is so nice. The hiking trails are great, and we love that it’s dog friendly. Tim is great at communicating and will answer any questions that you have in a timely manner. We can’t wait to come back again!
