Time & Space to Reset

A place for people from all walks of life, to unplug from the noise and remember who they are.

A Space to Unplug

Rediscover Yourself Nature Being Unplugged

All are welcome

ROOTED IN PURPOSE

It was at the forefront of our minds when we started looking for this place.  A place where people could go to clear the noise and quiet their minds, a place to have a meaningful pause and re-ground and re-center themselves. 

And then go back to live life more fully, more connected to their purpose.

A place for people from all walks of life.  A place people might come for clarity, for quiet, for strengthening, for healing, for purpose finding.

At Water & Woods, the cell connection is light and we don’t provide WiFi. Instead, we invite you to smell the pine trees, take a dip in the lake, watch the swans and otters. Somehow, everything becomes clearer when you slow down and take in the natural world.

about your hosts

Jen & Kat LaTosch own and operate Water & Woods together.  Together since 1992, the two first met in college and have been on adventures together ever since.  Their life chapters have included pursuing higher education, building a family, volunteering in their home community, traveling, and caring for elders.  Jen is currently a practicing attorney specializing in family law and Kat is a nonprofit organizational development consultant & facilitator.  Their home base is Ferndale, MI where they live together with their two sons and two dogs. 

Water & Woods is a dream and passion project for both of them and they love welcoming guests to the land and inviting them to unplug, slow down and reconnect to what’s important in life.

Connecting to Nature

This is more than just a place to stay; it’s a place to reset and renew, and then return to life re-energized. Let nature be your teacher. Explore the land and lake;  walk the winding trails; spend a quiet afternoon kayaking on a serene lake; take in the birdsong and wildlife. 

Remember how to live slower, breathe deeper, and remember what’s important in your life.
