Spruce Creek

Fourteen years ago, Jill and Richard purchased the land at Spruce Creek. Since then, they have dreamt of creating a sanctuary where visitors can experience “the wonder of the fireflies with the intensity of a child.” This vision was nearly lost to a proposed pipeline planned to cut directly through the property. However, fueled by fierce dedication and a coalition of friends from diverse backgrounds, they successfully fought the development. Now, their dream is finally being realized.

Spruce Creek is designed to help guests connect with themselves, each other, and the incredible biodiversity of the mountains. The magic is already there; our goal is simply to help people open up to it. By awakening perception, we foster connection—the foundation of feeling truly alive and present in the mystery of the natural world.

Set to open in 2030, Spruce Creek will be a landscape hotel nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The property will feature 50 rooms, suites, and sleeping pods intimately embedded within the environment, alongside a restaurant, a shop, a library, and several architectural follies and art installations.
