MORE INFORMATION
North Point Retreat has been designed for optimal comfort in a minimal space. Hence, some bedrooms (our three microcabins) are very small, yet designed in a way that you can comfortably spend a long time there, with cozy beds, desks, and spacious views.
All bedrooms have brand-new hotel-quality mattresses and bedding, ample storage, and double sound-proof walls. All bedrooms, but one, have spectacular views. All cabins have space heaters, except the microcabins as they are very small and well-insulated. All bedrooms have blinds for restful sleep. The island has cellphone connection and Starlink internet.
RESTRICTIONS!!! Please bring slippers or crocks as all indoor spaces are shoe-free. Because of pet allergies, we are unfortunately unable to welcome any pets. Due to cliffs and rugged terrain, young children require close supervision at all times.
RAW NATURE WARNING!!! The island’s paths and cliffs are in their original wild state, so ability, balance, and caution are required to navigate this ancient terrain. Your safety is your responsibility. Direct exposure to the elements means that sometimes winds are high and waves are wild. We spray the island with a natural garlic repellant, but there are still periods when bugs are bad. Moreover, because of the absence of light pollution, the Milky Way might overwhelm you with its beauty. And the northern lights, which frequently make an appearance, might make you want to stay up late into the night.
