Forest, Friendship, and Fresh Air: Inside Our Montana Glamping Retreat experience
Discover how our Montana glamping retreat brings together wellness, mindfulness, and nature-inspired renewal for groups and creative souls alike.
As our 2025 glamping season came to a close last week, the forest quiets and so do we — packing up, tidying trails, and reflecting on another year of unforgettable moments. From starry nights to morning coffee on cabin porches, this season was full of laughter, learning, and connection.
Even after an all five-star season, we’re not settling. Behind the scenes, we’re planning new builds (including a brand-new cabin coming in 2026!), refining what we offer, and creating even more opportunities for groups to unplug, unwind, and grow together.
One of our favorite highlights?
Co-hosting a Ganja Glampout retreat that truly captured the spirit of connection in nature — a weekend gathering where friends, strangers, and cannabis enthusiasts came together to recharge, reflect, and reconnect under Montana’s wide-open skies. The reviews that followed reminded us how powerful shared experiences in the forest can be.
Here is one from Brittany M:
“I had the absolute joy of attending Liv’s Leaves Ganja Glampout in the summer of 2025, a women’s weed and yoga retreat hosted at The Hohnstead in Montana. While the retreat itself was run by Liv (and wow, she created something incredible), the venue made it next-level. The Hohnstead was the perfect partner for this kind of gathering. Two amazing small businesses coming together to create one magical experience — and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it!
Ganja Glampout Retreat by Liv’s Leaves at The Hohnstead Glamping Cabins
The Hohnstead is unlike anywhere I’ve ever stayed. It's an adults-only, dog-friendly, cannabis-friendly property nestled in the Montana woods just outside Missoula. The vibe is a total grown-up summer camp with cozy, tiny cabins, open-air gathering spaces, and peaceful trails all around. I stayed in the A-frame cabin and absolutely loved its charm. It was perfect for sharing with my best friend and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at ease.
Garrett and Alla, the owners of The Hohnstead, are amazing hosts. Garrett picked us up from the airport, gave us a local tour (including a fun dispensary stop), and by the end of the drive, we already felt like friends. He kept himself busy during the retreat since it was a women’s event, but whenever we did see him, he was kind, funny, and genuinely welcoming.
Alla was a huge part of the retreat experience. She has this calming presence and an intuitive sense of when and how to show up. She guided us on a nature walk that helped us see the land in a whole new way. She talked about following animal trails, listening to the silence, and connecting to the natural rhythms around us. It helped me slow down and really take it all in. Watching her move through the space with ease and respect was honestly inspiring. She also took most of the photos at our retreat, this way we didn’t have to worry about missing capturing moments ourselves.
The shared kitchen and common areas were cozy and welcoming. It felt like the kind of place where you could hang out barefoot with a cup of tea, cook a shared meal, or just sit in silence and breathe in the fresh Montana air.
If you're searching for a Montana tiny cabin retreat, or a place to unplug that is cannabis-friendly, dog-friendly, and built with care, The Hohnstead should be at the top of your list. It’s thoughtful, peaceful, and full of heart. I can’t wait to come back.

The cabins at The Hohnstead are cozy, inviting, and full of charm — each one totally unique with all the right touches. From the thoughtful amenities to the intentional design, everything felt warm and welcoming. And I have to say... the pillow? Hands down the best I’ve ever slept on in any rental. And I’m a total pillow snob, so that’s saying something!
