Two Days to Remember How to Just Be Together
The Couples Reset is a self-guided experience for two people who have been running hard and have drifted, maybe not in crisis, just disconnected. No agenda. No facilitation. Just the land, a fire, and enough quiet to find each other again.
What This Is
Not a couples retreat in the therapy sense. Not a romantic getaway in the rose petals sense.
Something quieter and more useful than either.
You arrive. You put your bags down. You walk to the creek or up into the woods or just sit by the fire for a while. At some point, usually sooner than you'd expect, the noise of your regular life stops feeling so present. And then there's just the two of you, with nowhere to be and nothing to manage.
That's when the good conversations start.
Wild Woods gives you the container. The land does most of the work. You bring the willingness to slow down long enough to let it.
Reconnect to what matters most
Who This is For
Two people who love each other and have somehow ended up mostly talking about logistics.
Couples where both people are high-functioning and busy and have quietly deprioritized each other without meaning to.
Partners at a decision point about work, where to live, or what comes next, who need somewhere to think out loud together.
Two people who used to have long conversations and can't quite remember when those stopped.
Anyone who has said "we should really get away, just the two of us" for longer than a year and hasn't done it yet.
This stay works whether you've been together three years or thirty. What matters is that you both actually want to be here.

The Arrival Kit
Every Couples Reset includes a physical kit waiting at your unit and a digital version sent at booking.
The kit includes:
A property map for two: Which spots are best for side-by-side sitting, which are better for wandering separately and coming back to each other. Both matter.
A sequence of shared prompts: Not icebreakers, not therapy exercises. Questions designed to create real conversation between two people who already know each other well but may have stopped asking good questions. Brought to you in a specific order for a reason.
A suggested rhythm for the stay: Loose enough to leave most of the time unstructured, specific enough that the days don't dissolve into scrolling and napping and wondering what to do next.
Suggestions for the fire: What to bring, how to build it, and a few questions that tend to work better at a campfire than anywhere else. There's something about fire and darkness that changes what people are willing to say.
A note from Sue: Short, handwritten, the kind of thing you'd want someone to say before two people walked into the woods together.
The Shared Prompts
A preview of what's in the kit. You don't have to use them. Most couples do.
What's something you've wanted to tell me that you haven't found the right moment for?
What do you think I'm most proud of right now? What do you think I'm most worried about?
What did we used to do together that we should bring back?
What does the next chapter look like, if we design it on purpose?
What's one thing you need more of from me? What's one thing you want to give more of?
These aren't easy questions. They're not meant to be. But two people, a fire, and thirty acres of quiet is a pretty good place to sit with them.
Add a Conversation
If you'd like more than the self-guided experience, you can add a 45-minute conversation with Sue before your stay to set an intention, or after to help integrate what came up.
$75. Scheduled at booking.
This is not therapy or coaching. It's a conversation with someone who built this place for exactly the reason you're coming.
Orion: The Geodesic Dome
In the woods. Elevated. No WiFi, no TV. A king bed under stargazer panels and birdsong in the morning. Best for couples who want to feel genuinely removed and cocooned in the woods with the sky overhead at night. 2 night minimum (year-round).
Otter Beach Treehouse
By the creek. The water is audible from the cots. Fire pit at the water's edge, hammock in the trees, otters downstream if you're patient. Best for couples who find moving water grounding, something to sit beside and watch and not have to talk through. 2 night minimum (Spring through Fall).
A Few Honest Notes
The first few hours can feel slightly awkward. You've probably been so busy coordinating your shared life that just being together with no task at hand takes some getting used to. That's normal. Go for a walk. Don't force it.
By the second evening, almost every couple finds their rhythm. The conversations get longer. The silences get more comfortable. Something that felt knotted starts to loosen.
We don't check in during your stay unless you need something practical. You came here to be with each other. We take that seriously.
One suggestion: agree before you arrive to keep phones away during meals and at the fire. You don't have to go full digital detox. Just protect those two moments. They're where most of the good stuff happens.
