THE PROBLEM

You plan your trips around the trail. Your lodging should too.

You drive hours to reach world-class trails, only to stay in places designed for someone else. Cramped Airbnbs with nowhere to wash gear. Hotels 30 minutes from the trailhead. Glamping that treats the outdoors like a backdrop instead of the whole point.

There's no lodging built for how you actually travel.

No gear infrastructure

No gear infrastructure

Muddy bikes on the deck. Dirty ropes slung over chairs. Wet gear in the trunk. No wash station. No storage. Every stay is an improvised gear room.

Recovery is an afterthought

Recovery is an afterthought

After miles of trail or a full day on rock, you want a clean sauna and cold plunge, not a shared hot tub with other sweaty guests.

Nowhere near the dirt

Nowhere near the dirt

The best training grounds have the worst lodging. So you commute 40 minutes to your trailhead from a hotel built for conference travelers.

THE STAY

Designed around the way you move

Private sauna + cold plungeRendering

Your own ensuite sauna with an outdoor cold plunge and change area. Contrast therapy steps from your door. No shared spa. No schedule. No waiting on the sweaty guy.

The cabinRendering

Floor-to-ceiling windows. Kitchenette with induction cooktop. Terrazzo walk-in shower. Queen bed under exposed timber. A work nook for the Monday you didn't drive home.

Rooftop deckRendering

Central fire pit. Outdoor kitchen with grills and a pizza oven. Where the day's war stories get told.

WHERE YOU'LL BE

45 minutes from Sacramento. A different planet from Tahoe.

Foresthill sits above the American River canyons in Placer County, surrounded by the trail systems that host the Western States® 100. World-class trails, granite, and whitewater without the Tahoe traffic, the endless lines, or the $15 smoothie.

WHO WE ARE

Built by athletes, for athletes

We're YJ and Tyler. Trail runners, mountain bikers, and climbers who got tired of staying in places that weren't built for people like us. So we're building the place we've always wanted to stay. 37 acres in Foresthill. Ten cabins to start. Every detail designed around gear, recovery, and community. We're building this in public and bringing our Founding Members along for the ride.

Land & Operations

Having built a hospitality bootstrap from scratch, I know how hard it is for founders to go from inception to launch in the physical space, especially coming from digital. YJ understands this better than most, he gets the details... the funnel, the marketing, the branding, the positioning, the space creation. I'm excited for this next chapter for him and Foresthill.
