Most Secluded Couples Retreat
Twin Cedars
Twin Cedars earns its seclusion. The approach is the longest of the three, and the forest deepens with every step. By the time you arrive, whatever felt important is already forgotten.
Just past the bathhouse, the namesake western red cedars rise together from the same roots — an old-growth marriage. Through the trees, the Salish Sea appears slowly: less reveal, more reward for making the trek.
Guests who choose Twin Cedars tend to settle in hard. Plans get abandoned. Drives into town start sounding deeply unnecessary. The cocoon wins more often than not.
There’s a particular luxury in being genuinely unreachable. Twin Cedars leans all the way into it.

Trail Notes
How many guests can stay at this basecamp?
Each basecamp is best suited for one or two guests. Forest cocooning doesn't scale past two.
Is this basecamp suitable for solo stays?
Yes. While Menizei is crafted with couples in mind, solo stays are equally restorative for guests seeking uninterrupted time in the forest.
Is Menizei adults-only?
Yes. Menizei is an adults-only retreat, designed to support quiet, genuine rest and undivided time together.
Is this a full-service hotel?
Stays at Menizei are intentionally light-touch and self-directed. Luxury here isn't measured by service — but by privacy and uninterrupted time. Support is available as needed, without on-site staffing.
What does this basecamp uniquely offer?
Twin Cedars is Menizei's most private basecamp — the longest approach (650'), the deepest forest position and the deepest sense of true distance. It sits beside two western red cedars that give the space its name. Guests who choose it want the forest to have the last word, and that's exactly what they find.
