Nature-Driven Design for Leadership-Level Thinking
Your team needs space to breathe. To think. To step back from the noise, pressure, and nonstop pace of daily operations—and get clear on what really matters. High-stakes leadership work demands more than just another meeting room. It requires a setting that encourages reflection, clarity, and open conversation. That’s why we designed Back Acres Lodge to be a true retreat—from the moment your team arrives, they’re surrounded by natural beauty, quiet walking paths, and wide-open views that immediately signal: it’s time to slow down and think bigger. Whether it’s a morning walk through the orchard, an afternoon spent by the fishing pond, or an unscheduled moment of clarity at the gazebo overlooking the lavender fields, these moments aren’t distractions—they’re catalysts. Our nature-rich setting creates the mental space your team needs to realign, refocus, and return with renewed energy and purpose.

Leadership Activities That Spark New Energy
Sometimes your best ideas happen off the clock—when the pressure eases, the laptops close, and real conversations begin. In today’s fast-paced business world, teams are often siloed, overstretched, and so focused on execution that there’s little room for creative thinking or relationship-building. That’s a problem—because alignment, innovation, and trust don’t happen in a boardroom alone. That’s why we’ve intentionally curated a range of on-property and nearby activities that go beyond basic team-building. From skeet shooting and archery to hiking trails, 4-wheeling, and casual competitions on the game field, these experiences are designed to break down barriers, encourage informal connection, and help teams rediscover their shared purpose. Whether it’s casting a line at the fishing pond, taking a lap on the putting green, or sharing a laugh around the firepit, these moments create the space where silos disappear and breakthroughs begin.
Available Activities:
Archery & skeet shooting to challenge focus and build camaraderie
Game field for soccer or team-building exercises
Fishing, disc golf, and a putting green for low-key recreation
Access to two golf courses within 5 miles
Near Belterra Casino for post-session entertainment
Suite Features That Prioritize Comfort and Privacy
Leadership retreats should never feel like a step down in comfort—yet too often, offsite accommodations fall short, leaving your team tired, distracted, or disconnected. When executives are pushed to perform without true rest, it leads to diminished focus, surface-level conversations, and wasted time. That’s why our private suites are intentionally designed for executive-level comfort, ensuring your team is not only well-rested, but mentally recharged. With walk-in showers, heated tile floors, vaulted ceilings, and private lounge areas, each suite offers a space to unwind, reflect, and prepare for the next day’s conversations. Many rooms feature balconies for quiet, early-morning clarity or a moment of solitude between sessions. Because the truth is—deep thinking requires deep rest. And when leaders sleep well, think clearly, and feel taken care of, they show up ready to lead with focus, purpose, and perspective.
Each Suite Includes:
Private bathroom with walk-in shower
LED lighting and heated tile floors for comfort and ambiance
Granite countertops and premium finishes throughout
9–12 ft vaulted ceilings for a sense of space and ease
Private lounge with recliner + study nook
Balconies available in 6 of 11 suites for personal reflection
