Highland Hearthglow will again be held at the stunning timber lodge at ThorpeWood. Guests will be welcomed into the main floor will be set as our صلاة أفراح (Salaat Afrah – “Hall of Celebrations”), lit only by daylight, candles, and the fire. The lower floor will be set as our صحن السلام (Ṣaḥn al-Salām – “Courtyard of Peace”) where guests can retreat from the feast to relax, converse, and edify themselves. Travel between floors is by stairs, but both floors have vehicle accessible entrances. Site staff will transport guests between floors by cart on request.
Parking
Parking is sufficient, but limited. We encourage guests to consider carpooling options. The Lodge is located on an incline. Spaces nearest the initial entrance will be reserved for those with accessibility needs, and there will be a pick up area at the upper floor exit as well on an as-needed basis.
Guests should veer toward the left when following the drive to park. The area uphill on the right is reserved for staff and accessibility parking.
