He believes “inspirational things happen in inspirational places.” In 2017 he and wife Natalie purchased this Lodge as a residence and began cultivating a vision for it to turn it into a special place for resting, re-creation, and creativity. Over the years Coach Burt has written many of his best selling books here, taking time off the road to come up with new and creative programs that change people’s lives, and hosted intimate deep work sessions in small groups with his students.
He and Natalie’s vision for this Lodge was one of restoration and creation. This is the perfect place to cultivate your next big idea, get away from the stress and pressures of life, and rest and rejuvenate or bring your top clients to do the deep work necessary for greatness.
