forest retreat

Cabin among trees

A forest retreat is a getaway or sanctuary located in wooded surroundings, typically offering rest, reflection, or escape from daily life.

The term often describes rustic cabins, wellness centers, or spiritual venues set among trees: We spent the weekend at a forest retreat in the mountains.

It can also refer to the act of withdrawing into forested areas for solitude or renewal.
